I’m 11 weeks right now and get my relaxer next week, so this video is perfect timing😭. I’ll be able to do this entire process Sunday, so I’m very excited to see the results.
I’ve been natural for 11 years and glad I did. Gave me time to care for my hair. I realized the problem wasn’t getting relaxers, it was the lack of knowledge I had on how to care for my hair while relaxed. Your videos are beyond helpful! I’m moving to Texas soon and know I will need a relaxer to maintain my hair in the humidity. My natural hair doesn’t hold heat(whether I curl or straighten ot reverts back the same day) and my ponytails look crazy when it’s humid. Which forces me to wear braids, wigs, or weaves. I want to enjoy my hair and outside. I don’t want to have to make plans based off the weather and my hair. 🤦🏽♀️😂
I've decied to relax after 12 years natural- I miss seeing my length, and need a change. Your channel has made me so much more comfortable with this new journey. Thanks so much!
Same sis same, i I did my relaxer in December. Grateful for the things I learned to keep my hair healthy while natural and I’ve been applying them to relaxed and it’s been fun thus far ! Good luck !
Thanks so much! This is encouraging. Now that I know my hair after being natural, I feel more confident I can keep it healthy while relaxed too. Enjoy your new hair journey sis🥰
Young lady, thank you , you are a blessing. I am a 63 year old Latina woman. I have relaxed my hair all my life. I take great pride in my long hair. Lately, my hair has been shedding and extremely dry. I am so grateful for your vedio. I followed your instructions on this video step by step. OH MY GOSH!!! my hair looks and feels AMAZING!!. Thank you. My hair looks and feels better than when I relax. I am in aww. God bless you. Thanks again.
Thank you for putting out all these informative videos. You've inspired me to not only take care of my hair again, but nurture and love myself. Depression has really hampered my desires to even do the bare minimum maintenance for myself ... It's been challenging even before Covid (I stepped away from an 8 year relationship), I went no contact with my mother and little brother (major family issues), and I'm in my late 30s w/ no children. It's been so rough that sometimes you forget to give yourself some TLC from time to time. Thank you for reminding me to love myself... My hair, and my heritage (I'm Spanish Caribbean). You're not only teaching me about my hair... But you have reignited my desires to do better for me... Baby steps of course ❤️... Thank you!
Wow. I can only imagine how rough it’s been, it’s hard to balance everything. I’m so thankful that your desires to do better for YOU have been reignited. You are worth it, you are valuable, you matter! Wishing you nothing but peace and love. Take each day at a time, sis❤️ You got this!
Thanks so much for the upload! I am 6 weeks post relaxer and was 10 years natural when I started relaxing again at the end of May 2021. I did so wanting to do the bare minimum on hair following my mums passing as my daughter already had thick and long natural hair and I just didn’t have it in me to put in the effort required for both of our tresses and everything else I have to think about. But even after relaxing, I gave it zero effort and was losing length and health quickly! I came across your channel in October 2021 and it has made such a huge difference to my perspective and levelled up my routine - honestly it has really made a huge difference. At first I thought, God this requires just as much effort as being natural but I realised that I just seemed to enjoy it so much better because of the ease of working with straighter hair! Your technique is well explained and helps that you share all of the products you use. I’ve now copy pasted most things (haha, why do anything else??) and it’s saved me doing the big chop which by August I was seriously considering doing. Thank you and God continue blessing you with more views and subscribers ❤️❤️
My condolences on your mom's passing! Thank you for sharing this, hun. I'm so pleased that my content has helped you with your relaxed hair and you're noticing a difference. That's everything! Wishing you all the best on your relaxed hair journey.
Thank you so much!! This routine is a game changer for me. I used to lose globs of hair but this video coupled with your "10 things not to do" video have transformed my wash day. Really appreciate it!
@@HairliciousInclovely video. How often you do the protein treatment? Do you do it once every 2 to 3 months or just do it to prep for your relaxer day?
Thank you SO MUCH! No sob stories but I grew up in foster care and never learned to care for my hair, I would just get relaxer, don't take care for it properly, suffer damage/breakage & repeat. 😓 Lifesaver! LOVE your content! ❤
I'm 18 weeks post relaxer (planning on relaxing at 23 weeks), and the tangles are no joke! I'll definitely try the sectioning and braiding the hair method before washing.
I just finished washing mine. Wheww! I am 12 weeks post. I have been a roller set girl since my twenties. I went natural in 2017 and returned to relaxed hair in 2021. Still, I returned to roller setting. Just prefer it on my hair because it’s so much healthier for me. Been following your tips, as well. Thank you. Very informative.
Thanks for sharing. After watching your videos, I am convinced I was severely neglecting my hair. Just not knowing how to care for relaxed hair properly. Who knew that you should prepare your hair for your relaxer day? Not me.😮 I was afraid to mix or concoct different treatments. I have been binge watching your videos and I am 13 weeks post relaxer with minimal hair loss. Thank you. My hair journey just got easier.
I am natural but do I religiously watch your videos yes! Did I buy the products you recommended? Hell yeah! Do I follow your routine with my natural hair? Absolutely! And I have been seeing results too. Your hair is beautiful 😍 I have been natural all my life and I want a relaxer so bad but there are no salons catered to black women near me :(
I love this comment, it shows that even though she is relaxed and you’re natural there doesn’t have to be any division in the black hair community. We can still learn and support one another! ☺️
Wow!! Thank youuu. This totally made my day, sis. Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s amazing how my tips have been helpful although your natural and I’m relaxed. Just goes to show how similar our hair is despite our minor differences. Would you consider self relaxing?
Girl, is a relaxer day and all your videos motivate me and give me courage and relaxer day had never been that easy. Think tou for educating us. Be bless ❤❤
I use ur methods on my natural hair && it has given me so much growth in a few months .. I can’t wait to do this when I go back to my relaxer this summer
First. You’re a very naturally beautiful black woman!! Im do happy i found your videos. This is the best one I found for permed hair. I just went out and purchased all of these products (some in a smaller size just so I can see what works for my hair). I can’t wait to get started tomorrow. Thank you for taking the time to make and share these videos with us. I will keep you posted on my progress💕
U know BACK in my relaxing days i used to wash hair a week or 2 before i go to the salon to get a relaxer. And my hair thrived. My stylist was shocked as to why i did this. I honestly didn't know why. But it worked for my relaxed hair
Thanks for sharing. Your videos are so helpful. You’ve been one of the people that I look to, whenever I have to share the progress I’ve made with my hair journey. I love the T-shirt towel that you used in this video, it’s so incredibly big and useful for long lengths. Where did you buy it??
Seriously same here! I went relaxed after being natural for 7 years and have been able to stretch for 14 weeks thanks to this channel! You couldn’t tell me at 18 (when I relaxed every 4 weeks 😩)I would have been able to do this lol! My hair is healthier than it’s ever been! Love this channel!!!!
OMG, this video could not have come at a better time for me. I have an appointment next weekend for my relaxer which will be 12 weeks post relaxer. I just got done purchasing the remainder of the products I did not have and I’ll be following your video step by step on Sunday. I am so looking forward to the results and hoping I can manage this new growth for 7 more days 🙏🏾
Wooow, thanks for sharing, I have longed to see your complete pre-relaxer wash day routine, as well as how you moisturise during the week leading up to your relaxer. Now I have seen it. I usually do same, but I use the aphogee 2 step treatment. I also didn't know I could moisturise my roots during the week but now I know.
Could you share the difference between the 2 Step & the 2 Min from Aphogee (if you know), please I'm planning on trying Aphogee out, but not sure which is which, and which would be best for my really low porosity relaxed hair. I'm several months post relaxer atm. Thanks
I really love your channel and had to subscribe. Can I do this process after my relaxer? I’m about a week post relaxer. Also for the moisture part where you used your steamer can I use my dryer instead? I don’t have a steamer. Knowing that I just relaxed my hair 1 week ago should I still use the clarifying shampoo? I’m now starting a hair journey so I want to get the steps right. Thank you and thanks for sharing your vital information with us.
Hi ma'am ❤thank you for all your videos they have been a great help in my journey.🙏🫂♥️ May God bless you.♥️♥️ After the protein treatment you followed up with a moisturizing deep conditioning treatment where you used aussie 3 min miracle moist deep conditioner and keracare humecto creme conditioner... Was the keracare serving as a moisturizing conditioner you were pairing the aussie with? or are they both deep conditioners ma'am?
Hey Val have been following you for years and I appreciate you for putting out such good content that have helped me tremendously on my relaxed hair care journey! In this video I noticed that you put 2 minute keratin treatment on after you shampoo. In previous video you have applied to dry hair first then shampoo. Have you updated your regime because it is right before relaxer day?
She did it this way since she was clarifying. Clarifying shampoos tend to strip the hair of products, so you don't wanna remove the keratin protein that you've just applied. In her other video, she was just using a regular shampoo, so it was ok to apply the keratin beforehand. Right, Val? 😊
That’s right sis!😉🥰 it’s all about knowing when to use your products. When clarifying, always use your products after as a clarifying shampoo strips the hair of products, build up, mineral deposits etc. Great question, Amanda!
Your channel has inspired me a lot. Now I know How to grow a healthy relaxed hair! I intend switching to relaxed hair soon. Can I use this routine before relaxing my 7 year old 4c hair??
Contemplating getting a relaxer after 8 years. I use to get it once a year and loved it. Less product, less frizz. I feel so guilty thinking about going back. On the fence.
@@HairliciousInc I feel like there’s so much pressure nowadays to love your natural hair. Like it’s a representation of your blackness. I don’t dislike my natural hair, a relaxer just makes it easier. My hair type is less coarse so there’s an assumption of “You’re not black enough to need it”. I think beautiful hair is healthy hair. Regardless of texture or length. It’s so acceptable nowadays to get Botox or body enhancements or wear wigs, but I feel like relaxers still get the side eye. I realize they’re also not the best for your hair. I probably need to do more research on certain brands to share with my stylist. Any recommendations would be appreciated. 🖤
Hi Val! New subscriber here 💖. I know you made a video recently about switching to Affirm and leaving some products alone because of formaldehyde. I’m natural (with color-treated hair) and bought a bunch of your recommended products to prep for my upcoming Tex-lax day. And I ended up buying SCurl Activator Moisturizer but my bottle no longer says it contains DMDM Hydantoin (also an Infusium repair leave in treatment says it no longer contains that according to its ingredients). Do you know for sure if SCurl changed their formula? I couldn’t find this info (like you I do a lot of research). Thanks, and great content 😊 I don’t know if I can truly trust that they removed it.
Hello...I love your hair & I have been following your blog for couple of months now. I don't know if you can proffer any advice coz I am facing serious hair breakage. I am relaxed and my hair use to be thick and long but since last year I started facing severe breakage,it's no longer thick but weak and limp. Initially I wasn't using hair treatments,all I do is relax at least three months with ORS no lye relaxer & go on with protective styles likes braids,weavon,wigs, crotchets but since I started facing breakage I started doing protein treatments,use Creme of nature plex bond mender, Aphogee,great moisturisers,oils(coconut, olive oil, castor oil, lavender oil) couple with so much pampering of the hair especially while combing,I do bit by bit. I even stopped braids, crotchets even corn rows & wash it every weekend,I comb two to three times a week. Still no improvement. I neutralise with ors Shampoo,use other great shampoo like As I am,keracare,cantu, yet breakage is still on going. I'm so pained that I have spent a lot on hair products compare to in the past yet I'm not getting any result,I'm just considering chopping off my hair, perhaps it will help. I don't have issues with my edges but breakage. It breaks at the slightest touch weather I work with my hands or comb. Its that bad. Though the protein treatments I started is about two months now, could it be that my hair is not use to the treatment yet or what but to be honest,it's breaking more now that I'm using treatments compare to when I wasn't. If you can assist I'll be glad. Thanks in advance
It sounds like you need a moisturizing DC! I would pull back from the protein for 2-3 weeks and see if that helps. Including coconut oil- that’s a protein heavy oil!
Gosh been struggling with tangles when washing my hair. Glad you made this video. Definitely trying out your method of braiding before shampoo. Thank you Girl!
@@HairliciousInc love the video. Any suggestions on how to keep my edges from kinks? It’s hard to find a gel or product to keep my edges soft .. thanks
Thank you so much. Scurl is a moisturizer that I use to help hydrate my new growth. Without it, my roots can be very unmanageable. The goal isn’t just “straighter hair” but also healthy manageable hair during my relaxer stretch. HTHs💕
Wow I’ve been using the aphogee 2 minute reconstructor for actually only “2 minutes” I was sacred to leave it longer. Do usually leave it on for about 15mins ?
You have to try Etae Silky Protein conditioner takes it to another level. Plus it detangles as well. Normally put the Etae on while the hair is wet Detangle (leave it in) ..than seal with the moisture mask and oil. Then steam it all together ... Saves time 😘
* New Subscriber* Hey Val, I did this over the weekend to prepare for my at-home relaxed next week. However, it hydrated, but my hair feels weird after the leave-in conditioner process? Should I wash it out?
Pleaseeee I have a question I think I have protein overload atm and so I’m staying away from products with protein in them,do I still need to do a protein treatment before relaxer Also I’ve been using a clarifying shampoo more than once a week to wash my hair could that also be a problem? Also what do you base with? Moisturizer? Please I would love to know your answer
Heat up a wet rag in the mircrowave, place a cap on your head, then the heated rag and then put a cap on top to trap the heat in. When it gets cool just heat it up again.
What’s the next best to use? I have the Aussie, out of coconut, don’t have Keracare 2 step or the moisturizer, but I do have A PH Ogee Moisturizer and A PH Ogee protein Treatment, olive oil and grape seed oil.
@@HairliciousInc I had an eczema breakout in my scalp so my dermatologist told me it's looking good but to go a little longer...my/ our bday is 3/31 so I know I want a fresh relaxer by then. Thanks for asking!
I noticed that you did not use the avocado oil or the coconut oil. Instead you added the black Jamaican castor oil. Was there a special reason for this?
I'm too lazy for a perm but my natural hair does get on my nerves because of the shrinkage but I just straighten it out but I still like to watch these videos ben subscribe to her for a long time I was watching her when she was making videos about castor oil in that's what drew me to her channel I wasn't relaxed then and I'm still not relaxed now but I like her healthy regiment👍
Happy Friday, girl💞 How many weeks post relaxer are you?
Hi, where do you get the keracare tub in Toronto
Am just 3 weeks post relaxer
I’m 11 weeks right now and get my relaxer next week, so this video is perfect timing😭. I’ll be able to do this entire process Sunday, so I’m very excited to see the results.
14 weeks
Happy Friday!! No weeks post. I'm natural but I love your videos.

I’m moving to Texas soon and know I will need a relaxer to maintain my hair in the humidity.

So happy my Channel has inspired you!! Congrats on going back to relaxers. Enjoy your hair hun💞
You are too sweet! Thank you😊
Same! I just relaxed a few weeks ago after 12 years. Liking the low maintenance, so far.
Same sis same, i I did my relaxer in December. Grateful for the things I learned to keep my hair healthy while natural and I’ve been applying them to relaxed and it’s been fun thus far ! Good luck !
Thanks so much! This is encouraging. Now that I know my hair after being natural, I feel more confident I can keep it healthy while relaxed too. Enjoy your new hair journey sis🥰

Love your videos i never had a pre relaxer treatment , i will do this from now on !
I didn’t realize the creamy aloe was a clarifying shampoo also! Is that the same as the ORS neutralizer?
@@lavinawilson7243 I always thought they were the same, but just different sizes 🙈 😵💫😂
Chivon, the ORS creamy aloe is a clarifier, chelating and neutralizing shampoo all in one. I just use it for clarifying purposes though.
@@HairliciousInc whew! Thank you for clearing this up! I thought I had been destroying my hair from ignorance 😆
I throughly enjoy your videos. I follow your regimen and it works. Yes I’m natural.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing and watching, Felicia💕

@@HairliciousInc Thanks for all the tips and awesome videos! Keep it coming and happy growing!!
Your channel has inspired me a lot. Now I know How to grow a healthy relaxed hair! I intend switching to relaxed hair soon. Can I use this routine before relaxing my 7 year old 4c hair??
Contemplating getting a relaxer after 8 years. I use to get it once a year and loved it. Less product, less frizz. I feel so guilty thinking about going back. On the fence.
Its a big decision and I totally understand. What’s making you feel guilty though?!
@@HairliciousInc I feel like there’s so much pressure nowadays to love your natural hair. Like it’s a representation of your blackness. I don’t dislike my natural hair, a relaxer just makes it easier. My hair type is less coarse so there’s an assumption of “You’re not black enough to need it”. I think beautiful hair is healthy hair. Regardless of texture or length. It’s so acceptable nowadays to get Botox or body enhancements or wear wigs, but I feel like relaxers still get the side eye. I realize they’re also not the best for your hair. I probably need to do more research on certain brands to share with my stylist. Any recommendations would be appreciated. 🖤
Absolutely gorgeous! And very informative. Thank you!
Hi Val! New subscriber here 💖. I know you made a video recently about switching to Affirm and leaving some products alone because of formaldehyde. I’m natural (with color-treated hair) and bought a bunch of your recommended products to prep for my upcoming Tex-lax day. And I ended up buying SCurl Activator Moisturizer but my bottle no longer says it contains DMDM Hydantoin (also an Infusium repair leave in treatment says it no longer contains that according to its ingredients). Do you know for sure if SCurl changed their formula? I couldn’t find this info (like you I do a lot of research). Thanks, and great content 😊 I don’t know if I can truly trust that they removed it.
I like the way you pronounce the word process. I'm going to start saying it like that "PROcess".
Moça use vinagre de 🍎 nas suas hidratação talvez te ajude!!
I do not have one, but since I found you, I know NOW, how to treat relaxed hair now. You are a blessing!
So happy to hear this!!! Thanks for watching hun💕
Hello...I love your hair & I have been following your blog for couple of months now. I don't know if you can proffer any advice coz I am facing serious hair breakage. I am relaxed and my hair use to be thick and long but since last year I started facing severe breakage,it's no longer thick but weak and limp. Initially I wasn't using hair treatments,all I do is relax at least three months with ORS no lye relaxer & go on with protective styles likes braids,weavon,wigs, crotchets but since I started facing breakage I started doing protein treatments,use Creme of nature plex bond mender, Aphogee,great moisturisers,oils(coconut, olive oil, castor oil, lavender oil) couple with so much pampering of the hair especially while combing,I do bit by bit. I even stopped braids, crotchets even corn rows & wash it every weekend,I comb two to three times a week. Still no improvement. I neutralise with ors Shampoo,use other great shampoo like As I am,keracare,cantu, yet breakage is still on going. I'm so pained that I have spent a lot on hair products compare to in the past yet I'm not getting any result,I'm just considering chopping off my hair, perhaps it will help. I don't have issues with my edges but breakage. It breaks at the slightest touch weather I work with my hands or comb. Its that bad. Though the protein treatments I started is about two months now, could it be that my hair is not use to the treatment yet or what but to be honest,it's breaking more now that I'm using treatments compare to when I wasn't. If you can assist I'll be glad. Thanks in advance
It sounds like you need a moisturizing DC! I would pull back from the protein for 2-3 weeks and see if that helps. Including coconut oil- that’s a protein heavy oil!
Chop off
Do you ever use to full aphrogee protein treatment? If so how often ?
I needed this a week ago 💔 I’ll be back in 3 months 😩
Gosh been struggling with tangles when washing my hair. Glad you made this video. Definitely trying out your method of braiding before shampoo. Thank you Girl!
It’s helps to cut down on the tangles big time. Hope it works for you💕🙌🏾
@@HairliciousInc love the video. Any suggestions on how to keep my edges from kinks? It’s hard to find a gel or product to keep my edges soft .. thanks
Your hair is beautiful and I love your tips. May I ask why you use curl activator when the goal is straighter hair? Thank you.
Moisturizer
Thank you so much. Scurl is a moisturizer that I use to help hydrate my new growth. Without it, my roots can be very unmanageable. The goal isn’t just “straighter hair” but also healthy manageable hair during my relaxer stretch. HTHs💕
Hey! Do you use any shampoo’s that are sulfate-free? Do you think shampoo’s that are sulfate free are better for relaxed hair?
Very nice job. I loved it. Thx😊
Wow I’ve been using the aphogee 2 minute reconstructor for actually only “2 minutes” I was sacred to leave it longer. Do usually leave it on for about 15mins ?
That’s what I do and it’s been great. Always do what works best for you, hun💕
@@HairliciousInc Thank you 🥰
switched back to ol school affirm sensitive relaxer!
When i use to wash the day before my scalp would burn. What did i do wrong
Would you recommend this routine before a protective style such as knotless braids?
Hi, do you find sharing the steamer that you use? It fit your whole head and it so hard to find one that covers the whole head.. thanks
You have to try Etae Silky Protein conditioner takes it to another level. Plus it detangles as well. Normally put the Etae on while the hair is wet Detangle (leave it in) ..than seal with the moisture mask and oil. Then steam it all together ... Saves time 😘
This is a great video. I was always told not to wash my hair prior to relaxers or they won't turn out well
It’s ok to wash at least a week before you relax, but not the day of. I leave my hair alone at least 3 days before I relax.
I don't have a pre-relaxer day routine. I think I need to start doing this.
I love your routine and your hair looks amazing,l love to prep as well before relaxer 🤗❤️
Thanks, right on time. Doing the same tomorrow.
Please can I do black tea rinse the same day?
* New Subscriber*
Hey Val, I did this over the weekend to prepare for my at-home relaxed next week. However, it hydrated, but my hair feels weird after the leave-in conditioner process? Should I wash it out?
Your videos are so informative and I've implemented much of your regimen. Thank you!!
You should be using the protein treatment after not before relaxing
Hi, thanks for the great informations.💜
Do you recommend doing protein treatments before or after relaxers? Or both?
Thank you🎀
Protein treatments can be done before and/or after. I do both.
Thank you for your videos! Where did you get your t-shirt wrap?
Pleaseeee I have a question
I think I have protein overload atm and so I’m staying away from products with protein in them,do I still need to do a protein treatment before relaxer
Also I’ve been using a clarifying shampoo more than once a week to wash my hair could that also be a problem? Also what do you base with? Moisturizer?
Please I would love to know your answer
So I don't own a steamer or a dryer. Is there another way to steam until I get one?
Heat up a wet rag in the mircrowave, place a cap on your head, then the heated rag and then put a cap on top to trap the heat in. When it gets cool just heat it up again.
What’s the next best to use? I have the Aussie, out of coconut, don’t have Keracare 2 step or the moisturizer, but I do have A PH Ogee Moisturizer and A PH Ogee protein Treatment, olive oil and grape seed oil.
Another great video! (I upgraded my hair dryer too and it was the best decision!)...I am 21 weeks post tomorrow.
Gotta level up the tools!😉 Thanks for watching Debbie. When do you plan on relaxing?
@@HairliciousInc I had an eczema breakout in my scalp so my dermatologist told me it's looking good but to go a little longer...my/ our bday is 3/31 so I know I want a fresh relaxer by then. Thanks for asking!
What did you do when your hair was much shorter and braids and twists don't really stay in??
Can you please share your weekly wash routine?
Happy Saturday Beautiful Hairlicous. I currently am 6 weeks post 👋🏾😍💞.
What dryer are you using?
I noticed that you did not use the avocado oil or the coconut oil. Instead you added the black Jamaican castor oil. Was there a special reason for this?
Good catch😉 no particular reason. Just wanted something a little more softening since my new growth was in full effect. Always listen to your hair🥰
I relaxed yesterday thanks to you ☺️
Aww congrats!
Thanks for this video..so how many days to relaxing can I do this process?
What do you use to base your scalp with? I went back to watch your self relaxer video, but you didn't say. T.I.A!
I lightly base with JBCO or jojoba oil.
Val...what kind if hooded dryer is this?where can I buy one?
I had no idea we could wash pre-relaxer day!
Not pre-relaxer day, it’s a week prior lol
@@HairliciousInc oh lol! But why though? I was always told not to wash my hair as long as I was about to relax it.
Don’t always believe what you hear😂 I explain everything in the video hun.
Off to Sally’s I go 🏃🏽♀️
Haha 😂 I was literally just there!!
This is what I need for my hair
I'm too lazy for a perm but my natural hair does get on my nerves because of the shrinkage but I just straighten it out but I still like to watch these videos ben subscribe to her for a long time I was watching her when she was making videos about castor oil in that's what drew me to her channel I wasn't relaxed then and I'm still not relaxed now but I like her healthy regiment👍
What do you base your scalp with the night before relaxer day? Dax?
Tell me Val, do you moisturize n seal before the detangling process n then after blow drying ?
Where did you purchase your hair dryer please?
Thank you!
Hey sis! Good video! How long does the whole process take? Thanks
I would say about 2-3 hours start to finish - no breaks.
@@HairliciousInc
That’s longer than my wash day.
Can’t wait to texlax. Great video 😍
Thanks babes😘
