I can’t speak for every one but me personally my hair flourished when it was relaxed. Now that I’m natural it can’t get past a certain length due to breakage, knots, and tangles. I just can’t do it anymore. I don’t have the time it takes to keep it healthy. Or the money to pay someone else to keep it healthy. 😂 UPDATE I have since relaxed my hair and it is once again flourishing. I only relax every 3-4 months. Keep up with trims, deep conditions and protein treatments. Do what’s best for YOU. Don’t let anyone that won’t help you with your hair tell you how to handle YOUR hair.

After a break of about a decade and a half, I am getting ready to start relaxing my hair again. Part of it is because I have gone much more gray, and as you know, gray hairs can be a real pain in the butt. And I decided that relaxed is the best for me. When my hair was relaxed, it was easy to take care of, but my desire to be natural really turned out to be much more time consuming. I refuse to wear wigs, weaves, extensions, or wear my hair in braids, so I'm pretty much stuck. I am one of those who doesn't believe in relaxing the hair bone straight, and like many others, I am relaxing my hair to make it easier to take care of and to style.

It would seem as though many of the KZitem influencers are going back to relaxers and most of my family members have relaxed hair. Those that are natural wear their hair straightened or silk pressed the majority of the time. I have been tempted to go back to relaxed hair because it was easier to maintain and that's when my hair was the longest (mid-back). Congratulations on reaching over 500 subscribers! Great video.

The main reason may be that people stopped caring about what others were doing to their hair and started thinking for themselves regardless of the "movement or the agenda" that was going on in our country. It's a personal choice regardless of the reason. I relax my hair every 12 to 13 weeks, sometimes longer than that. I've had a relaxer since I was nine years old. Two worthwhile inventions were the relaxer and air conditioner - All the things said about relaxers can be argued against products, weave, the water 💦 we drink, and other things. There are many cares in this life we must focus on as women, wives, friends, and mothers. Hair preference should not be debatable. Our choices are just that - ours! Respect yourself and honor those who make decisions without consulting you or me about their choice of hair care. I have learned much about hair from relaxing and natural hair content videos. The political part doesn't need fueling or policing - be thankful to God for your blessing and be kind to those you encounter daily with a smile❤.

I relax my hair every 3 months. It took me 2 years to learn my hair and begin seeing thickness and retention. To be honest, it was me who wasn't consistent with my regime. I also learned not to use the highest setting to straighten my hair. Now, that really was the game changer for me, as well as letting the dead ends go 😒. I have so many people compliment my hair now and ask who does it. I think that's a compliment to what I've been doing with being consistent. However, I would love being under a professional as yourself 🥰😊.

Yes, I believe people are going back to relaxers. I see alot of new yt channels coming up about relaxed hair. As for me, I never stopped (despite the backlash I received from my natural family members). I just never saw the point in going natural, because I started noticing my natural sisters (even saw some youtubers) constantly complaining about their natural (non relaxed) hair being damaged and then every other year they were doing "big chops". It all seemed pointless to me, since relaxers ALSO "damage" your hair. Not to mention I notice how much TIME natural hair women had to spend just to maintain (basically fighting with) and style their hair daily - which was MUCH more than I spend on my relaxed hair.

Hi. You did an absolute amazing job on your client's hair. In my younger years, i had my hair relaxed and it thrived. But as i matured I opted for the natural look. I had dreads which i then cut in 2013. Im now 61 going through menopause and my natural hair is now dry and brittle, very hard to manage. I often just grab a hat because i have no idea what to do with it!!! I wish you were in New Jersey so i can have it relaxed again.

Aw TY and if you come to Houston I would be happy to complete a service for you. But you can do hot oil treatments to help with the dryness. Rotate (every 2 weeks for each treatment) that with a protein deep conditioning. Here are links to my blogs that describe the process and product recommendations. Also be sure to bring up these changes with a dermatologist if you don't see improvement. my2goldenhands.blogspot.com/2022/05/

First, love your work. I’m from north Texas, but live in Illinois, and have been natural for over 5 years. With the humidity in Houston I know me and my natural hair would be struggling. Just visiting family there for the weekend, I have to put my hair up in a puff. But in Illinois I don’t have that humidity or when home in North Texas so it’s no issue whatsoever. I think the weather, climate, location plays a big part when it comes to natural hair.

Lmbf.. yes you are so right 😊 the humidity does play a factor in a lot of the things we kind of don't like like shrinkage and if you're not properly deep conditioning your hair than it can breakage because of dryness..

If you have been doing this habitually I would get fresh eyes on your process. You could be overprocessing especially if you are doing it yourself. It should be kinda difficult for you to only address your new growth being on average it would be about 1 inch. Maybe on your edges you can see it but middle of your hair and back it would be hard to differentiate from the angle that you are able to see. As always I strongly recommend chemical processes be carried out by a professional.

Hi ❤ I wanted to ask you a question about texture release. I’m a straight natural, I I go to the salon twice a month to have a blow dry my hair and silk 2 to 3 times a year. I’m pondering texture release for humidity and because I want to work out. I’m really afraid of damaging or change my hair texture Do you think is a good treatment? What’s your clients experience in the following months after the 1st treatment?
@BehindTheScenesM2GH

So with the texture release it does release the curl pattern so. So for example if you are 4C very curly then your hair will be loose maybe around a 3C. Now over time from washing your hair the release solution will wash out within 2 to 3 months depending on how often you wash your hair I highly suggest for healthy hair growth wash your hair deep condition every two weeks. Breakage no me and none of my clients have it experience breakage.. now you must still take care of your hair.. now it's not a relaxer so if you work out heavy or your hair get very wet then it will revert back.. I hope that answered all your questions and thank you ☺️💗
