      That's because she blow dries it along with deep conditioning treatments EVERY week. Perm and water 💧 don't mix so if you wear a perm you must blow dry and wear your hair dry and not wet and you can achieve healthy hair with weekly oil and conditioning treatments. No wash and goes because the hair will break and be thin because perm and water are a no no .

    I would strongly caution you about relaxers. As a former relaxer user and have been natural for 8+ years, there has been significant evidence of a direct link of relaxers causing cancer and fibroids. I had 13 fibroids removed via myomectomy and I strongly believe the chemicals contributed to the formation thereof. I strongly believe the reason Black women have fibroids more than other ethnicities is because of relaxers. Self-hate of our hair is more profitable on many levels for the opposition.

      @teshamiller6001 ปีที่แล้ว +64

      You can’t, but there are ways you can prep it and care for it to make it “appear” beautiful and healthy. The reason relaxers straighten hair is because they literally burn the disulfide bonds in the curl, permanently breaking them, rendering the hair shaft straight, so relaxed hair by it’s very nature, is technically damaged hair. Relaxers have also been proven to cause cancers of the reproductive system and follicle death. That being said, if you don’t wear your curls, you don’t care about burning the protein bonds. 🤷🏾‍♀️As long as women love their hair and themselves it shouldn’t be a debate. It’s a matter of personal preference. Stating the scientific facts about a hair relaxer doesn’t always equate to thinking women have to be natural. It’s just stating what is proven for those who want to live a natural lifestyle and feel that their reproductive health is important enough to not use certain products. The education really isn’t for women who use hair relaxers and don’t plan on being natural.

      The weird thing is, if anyone actually bothered to read the study that spawned this whole "relaxer causes cancer" thing, they would notice that the subjects of the study were women whose sisters previously had breast cancer - meaning they are probably already genetically predisposed to developing cancers. They would also have read the part where the researchers themselves said relaxer use correlated with a minute increase in the risk of developing cancer (like less than 1% or something, I can't recall the actual number), and they said *lifestyle factors* are a far greater cause of cancer. But everybody running around like chicken little trying to ruin someone's enjoyment of their hair. 🤦‍♀️

    I think you have beautiful relaxed hair. I believe mom knows what she's doing putting on your relaxer.👍 I think you're doing wonderful taking care of your hair. It's long and looks so healthy too me. Mom looks so cute doing her baby girl's hair. That's experience (mom) that's doing your hair.🤓

    I use Dark & Lovely as well. I take it to the salon and my stylist applies it. My hair is the same length but thicker. She talked me into letting her put a mild relaxer in that she uses. BAD idea. My hair shed. I went to a dermatologist and he wrote a prescription for my hair that I had to get filled at a Compound Pharmacy. That stuff had my hair growing like Rapunzel I stop using it after a few weeks. I sold the remainder lol. It was a big bottle.

    People Can wear their hair the way they want to. I stopped relaxing my hair because I got tired of applying heat, having scalp sores and the American Cancer Society reports Women who use chemical hair straighteners and relaxers may have a higher risk of uterine cancer, according to a new study from researchers at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). Be safe and aware out here.

    I'm so glad your showing other women how to take care of their hair you just need to do the work I have curly hair and I also do a lot of oil treatments in my hair to avoid breakage. Shea butter almond oil , olive oil and coconut oil are the best for your hair it also helps it grow.

    My hair was at its best Relaxed. I am so tired of my natural hair because it just crumbles & breaks, dry alll the time. I hate it. Going back to relaxed soon. It’s a big stress trigger for me me & it’s about to end!

    • @Talania12

      Going through the same thing with my hair . It’s always dry but I realized if you put leave in conditioner and brush blow dry it out it helps a lot. If you do braids in between it can help with not having to put so much stress on your hair constantly

      @misselle1430 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Apply treatment quick and use the extra time to go through with the finest tooth comb you can find and also smooth it out with the other end of the comb. And small sections. Key is to have plenty of time to work and smooth the product in perfectly and also enough time to let it sit.

    I relaxed my hair with the olive miracle. And it made my whole entire hair fall out down to the follicles in one section of my hair in the front. Now I have permanent thinning in that area. I stopped using relaxers all together and now I’m Loc’d. Her hair is nice tho!
