Hey Guys! Today is my relaxer update number 4. I relaxed my hair at 10 weeks instead of my usual 12-14 weeks. Stretching is becoming more of an issue for me than a good thing , so 10 weeks is a perfect number for me. Also switching up my Relaxer process by completing the back of my hair and combing through it twice before starting the front has helped with the major under processed areas in the back of my head along with cutting my stretch back to 10 weeks. Thank you all for watching and your support !

If the point of stretching is hair health, then stretching longer than is healthy is counterproductive. Good for you for figuring that out, and for not following the crowd. Looks great.
Yes ! Thank you 💕
Your hair is sleek. I feel you, relaxer stretching isn't easy especially for those who wear out their 'natural hair' unlike for those who do protective styles with extensions.
Thank you ! Yes it’s definitely been a struggle , thank u for watching 🤗💕
I wear my hair out all the time I have no problems guess it depends on your natural texture. I’m going on four months post relaxing at six
Great content. I stretch 8-10. 4c girl too. It works very well for me. I wear my hair out most of the time. No long-time protective styles. 2 strand twist and leave them in 3-4 days only. Hair grows just fine also use ORS. Keep my hair oiled. Your hair is beautiful.
Thank you!
Yes that long stretching ain’t it for me! Lol
Thanks for watching Deborah 💕
Great update! Lovely hair, sis.
Thank You!💖✨
Great job. I relax at 5 to 6 months but my hair is 3B/3C and fine so my new growth is very manageable. My trichologist turned me onto using a Mizani mild relaxer and a normal for the front third and the back two thirds. No more under processing!
Thank you! That’s a good amount of new growth! That’s great that it’s still manageable for you around 5-6 months! I could never! 😅 lol
Yessss to no more under processed hair! Thanks for watching 💕
I relax my hair once ever 12 wks. I section my hair and base my scalp, neck forehead and ears. I apply relaxer only to the new growth set my timer for 18 minutes and just rub the relaxer or massage it on the new growth. I love the way my hair feel and look. I also wrap my hair at night.
That’s an awesome routine 💯 glad it’s working well for you 😊 what relaxer do you use ?
@@aalexis112 African Pride for right now. Works beautifully by the way. It’s ok to use different no lye relaxers. The application process needs to be done carefully and correctly to maintain healthy hair. That’s super important!
Beautiful hair hun.. I totally get what you saying about stretching bc I’m like you, it does more harm than good. 10 to 12 wks is my limit. Ive also been taking that same collegian. Being over 40 hunni, I need it.. 😁
Thank You! It sure does. I can barely get the comb through my roots when I stretch too long . Wow you look great for 40s😆
Thanks for watching 💕
I can def relate girl. I’m 4c as well and I had some breakage after taking my braids out recently. I stretched for about 12 weeks and my hairstylist wanted to strangle me for even getting braids in the first place and then having them from February-May (not the same braids of course lol) knowing I’m relaxed. Contrary to popular belief, relaxed girls have to tread lightly using braids and sew ins as protective styles. If we do, we shouldn’t keep the style in for too long, especially those of us with 4 type hair in its natural state. I’ll be getting retouches every 6-8 weeks again.
Yes facts ! Definitely have to tread lightly with long term protective styles ! Thanks for watching Sharice 💕
Long stretches are for a softer grain of hair I’m 3c and I can go until 8 months
Lovely results 😍😍😍I forgot which relaxed beauty I was watching, but she had the same problem. She decided to move forward with using her regular relaxer brand in the front and a different brand in the back.
Thank You!
Oh wow , that actually sounds like a good idea ! Thanks for sharing that 💕
Great sharing dear,you've got to know what your hair likes
Very Healthy hair.. Beautiful Thank you for sharing
Thank You!
Thanks for watching 💕
It looks so good and so healthy! I hope my hair looks as good as yours soon
Thank You!
It will ! Being consistent with Your regimen✨
Thanks for watching 💕
Girl yes every 10 to 12 weeks I have 4C hair I understand.
The struggle is real! Lol
Thanks for watching 💕
You have been missed, glad you finally uploaded
Thanks for sticking with me ! 😊Work schedules been all over the place . Thanks for watching 💕
I am going to try this process because the back of my head gets under processed as well, thanks.
Your welcome! It made a huge difference for me
I think i will start doing the full back (smoothing and everything) as well because i just started my self relaxed journey. I under processed my back but it’s not too unmanageable. I will apply some of your tips as well, thank you so much!
Yes You should try it! It has helped my hair a ton. Your welcome 🤗
Thanks for watching 💕
You’re better than me. I can’t stretch past 8 weeks
8 weeks is a good time frame . My wigs get me to 10! Thanks for watching 💕
Me either. I was doing 6 weeks. Decided to try stretching but after 8 weeks I have to fight with my new growth. I now relax every 8 weeks.
Hey Alexis! Great video as usual! Your hair looks absolutely stunning 😍. I just relaxed on Saturday after 6 months. My mom (aren’t they the best?) also helped me with my relaxer. She did the back and I did the front . . . a team effort 😊. I think I perfected the stretching though. Pre-poo with my Mane Choice/African Pride concoction. Wash day was actually every 2 weeks instead of weekly. I air dried a little and then finished with medium heat and no additional heat until the next wash day. That routine worked perfectly for me. Now I have to trim my hair. I even put in a rinse on relaxer day and shed about 5 strands of hair. So far. So good. Shedding used to be a nightmare for me due to over hydration. Glad that’s finally over! 😂 Looking forward to your next video. 😊
Hey Karla 👋🏾 thank You!! wow ! What a stretch! Doing what’s best for your hair is the way to go, sounds like a solid routine 🤗 wishing much success to you in your hair journey Thank you for Watching ! 💕
@@aalexis112 Thank you Alexis! 😊
@@karlad.8762 your welcome !
How often do you hydrate? I didn’t know over hydrating was a thing
@@Itsgorgeouseverything It’s definitely a thing! I was using my steamer like crazy and adding in all of my oils to a conditioner that didn’t have any proteins. I discovered during the pandemic that my hair loves protein. Everyone’s hair is different. I needed some extra extra hard protein. Even the Affirm 5 in 1 didn’t work. Not even one that was specifically for Shedding. And not even a Tea Rinse worked. Once I found out that I wasn’t anemic and did some research, then I knew it had to be something else. I was contemplating collecting my shedded hair to use as a wig. I’m good now though. I started using a coffee/rosemary rinse and some protein drops. The shedding stopped immediately. ☺️
I stretch between 12 to 16 weeks. Cornrows or knotless braids are my go to protective style when I can no longer deal with the new growth.
That’s a good amount of Growth! I want to try Knotless braids, such a cute protective style !
Great video! We all done with stretching 🤣
Thank You!
girl, I’m over it. 😅
Thanks for watching 💕

What flat iron do you use?
It’s called Fahrenheit
Got it a while back at Tj Max
when I try to stretch my hair breaks
Sometimes stretching will do more harm than good for some , do what’s best for your hair ! Thanks for watching ✨
Stretching can cause Breakage if you have 4C hair!
It sure can! Thank you for watching 💕
Here’s a tip, look for fortified shampoo for fast hair growth.
I can't go past 12 weeks.
That’s a good amount of new growth !
Knowing what your hair likes & dislikes is definitely key to a successful hair journey.
Thanks for watching Jael ☺️💕
