Guuurrl this part right here! I'm 49, with all my silvers uncolored, shaved sides and a long 4a shag- mullet. Like the kids wear today 🤣... but what I've wanted since the 80s 🫡 Life is too ephemeral to be bogged down by other folks opinions. 😪
I’ve haven’t had locs but I have done all the rest of those plus a perm. Out of all I prefer loose natural. One of best friends has been locked since like 2005. She loves it.
What we all have to realize is that everyone is different just because someone does something doesn't mean that it's right or wrong we all going to do what is best for us period
I went natural for two years. As my hair grew it became more difficult to comb constant knots especially in the back and my hair was falling out when I was washing it. I just went and got a relaxer and did it myself at home I feel much better now I can actually comb through my hair.
I relaxed mine after almost 5 years natural. And I love not having to do much. Every 2 days just moisture & seal the ends. My hair is almost waist length.Dont miss natural not 1 bit!
Why couldn't you follow the same regimen when you were natural? Also why did you have to do much to your natural hair? Or were you trying to make it look like what it was not texture-wise?
The person doing your hair should start a channel doing exactly this, watching them massage your head was proper ASMR for me, just the whole process was nice to watch.
THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS MATCH EVERYTHING TO YOUR CURRENT LIFESTYLE 🙌🏽. IM HAPPY FOR YOU SIS & I ENJOY VIDEOS LIKE THIS. AS BW WE CAN WEAR OUR HAIR IN ANY WAY WE LIKE. IT DOESNT TAKE AWAY FROM OUR BLACKNESS.
I am so glad you went to a professional to have your hair relaxed. Too many people relax their hair at home because they saw it on RUclips. The people on RUclips aren't not licensed professional. Your hair looks beautiful, your video shows a professional doing your hair, I love it. We need more videos like this. Thank you 😊
Yes, relaxers are harsh chemicals. So is the formaldehyde in nail polish. So are any artificial flooring materials, nonstick cooking pans etc etc. And the preservatives in those fast food menus. After surviving 2020, what people do with their hair should be the least of anyone’s problems. Live and let live.
My hair thrives when I'm relaxed and I'm the contrary it's better for me to retain length, style, take care of, and less stress on my scalp I have more pros being relaxed than natural. But I'm a conspiracy realist and things are getting more n more difficult to attain so I figured it'll be better to transition back to natural while it's early so I'll have a lil length when shit hits the fan.
I’m always amazed at the back and forth of BW when it comes to hair. From the whole sisterhood a couple of years back on learning how to take care of our natural hair yet now there seems to be an exodus back to relaxers. I went natural when I cut my hair because of a break up I honestly didn’t go into it because of the love thyself movement. BUT I can’t imagine relaxing my hair ever again 🙅🏿♀️
I just cut my hair completely bald where you can see my shiny scalp literally 👩🦲 I’m going natural for 4 years they I’m relaxing it . Natural hair is cool but I it’s frustrating at the same time I love relaxed and natural but 4d hair is annoying
@@TellyTingz2000 I heard about "Lit Curls" that temporarily makes your hair look like a curly perm until you wash it out! It's $70 online! It looks amazing but I'm still trying to grow my hair out. I'm going to start using the Clove water method and the Hair Growth Co oil mixed with castor oil.
Sisterhood?? No thank you. Natural girls literally bash other women for the decisions they make on their OWN hair. Y’all walk around like you’re entitled and supreme when in actuality y’all are annoying. Everyone has different hair experiences and I will never go back to natural again. I literally couldn’t comb my hair despite all the things I did. So no offense you can take your sisterhood and ✌🏾
its always years after big chop/being natural i relaxed ..... then months after i relaxed i big chopped ..... then my new natural hair journey but yea it is crazy ppl spend more time on natural hair than they do maintaining a relationship with the lord it consumes you it like bondage
For some naturals It’s not about the relaxer it’s more about the chemicals that you’re being exposed to during the relaxing treatment. There are many studies linking lye and other compounds commonly found in relaxers to fibroids, cancers, auto immune diseases, etc. Your hair is your hair and everyone can wear the styles they feel most comfortable with, however you only have one life. Do your research 🔬 🧐 !!!!
Girl it’s 2022. People know and understand the risks of relaxers. As a woman with locs, allow our sisters to do what works for them instead of the passive aggressive gatekeeping and shaming
🤣🤣It's so funny how people have to apologize about saying " Natural hair is hard to take care of", yeeeyy It is very hard to take care of it🤣 I have been natural for almost ten years, I do not see myself relaxing, Kodwa wow sis, Natural hair is a lot, you did yourself a favor
I know its less of a hassle to be relaxed or have straighter hair but whats good never comes easy and the things that are difficult that are worth it, last longer and are healthier. Natural will always be whats best for us all, in every aspect of life. Be blessed
YOU…for you! Everyone’s experience is different and I’m so sick of natural people talking. Do you think the products you use for your hair doesn’t have chemicals? Well breaking news it does. I literally couldn’t comb through my hair despite everything I did. My scalp used to hurt so bad trying to comb my hair and my scalp would get so itchy and dry. I was natural for almost 7 years and I could barely retain hair length. I was miserable being natural and now that I’m relaxed I’m literally relaxed myself.
I don't blame you one bit. I am the same. I went back to flat ironing my hair. I never had a relaxer . I just used heat. I stopped because I let people in the natural hair community tell me it was not good or natural . Well my hair grows better with heat. I was so sick of those 6+ hours of wash days and hair products which I pay more for now than I do when I flat ironed not to mention my hair was much healthier. I see so many naturals with broke dry brittle hair with ton of products and it don't look good. Heat is not the enemy it's how you use it. I just started back flat ironing my hair it's so much easier and less time consuming. I just don't have time anymore to deal with my natural hair. I need something simple. . Im going back to heat training my hair it was healthy long and I never had issues with damage and so what If it does happen just cut it off and start over. If you can't have fun with your hair no point to have it.
Beautiful hair girl! So so healthy. And yes to less maintenance. Some people really love the process of taking care of natural hair & for others, it just gets tiring. So your reasons for relaxing are valid.
I was natural for two years before I decided to relax again. When it was natural I couldn't do nothing to it and couldn't put a comb through it because it was so course. But if I go over three months without relaxing my hair starts to thin and fall out and I got to start all over again everytime I go too long without a relaxer.
@@writteninstars white ppl have nothing to do with this ? u sound obsessed with white ppl get help. relaxed hair is done cuz more styles can be done and kys easier to manage?
The nice things about relaxers is there’s more information now on how to take care of it, grow it long and keep it healthy. Even though I don’t want relaxers I want to do a silk press especially so I can see how long my natural hair is. But I don’t trust most SA hairdressers lemme wait 5 years and see lol.
The natural and relaxed both look so healthy band absolutely stunning! I used to texlax my 3b hair due to moving to a humid climate but the hair would always break off in the center of my head around the crown and while fairly long, I shed a lot and it was always dry. So I went natural again and I can get my hair how I like it in under 5 minutes, but that is a me thing. Everyone is not the same and some women really flourish with relaxed hair or natural hair and others don’t. Do what makes you happy and stay beautiful. But in all honesty your hair looks so good either way.
@@likeagenieinabottle1591 i know we have different challenges with our natural textures and this is why I support everyone doing what makes them feel beautiful. I was raised by people with type 2 hair and they didn’t understand my 3, but it’s all beautiful because it’s ours. I just want less guilt in the curly coily space. She looks amazing no matter what and I just wanted to show some love.
Live your best life sis, I've been natural for many years and I've texturing my hair when it was very short since when my hair is short it won't do anything. A completely relaxed head makes me feel bald and I don't like it, I won't even straighten my hair because within 24 hrs I want my hair back
Your hair looks so lush. I've been natural 15yrs. I don't know if I could handle having hair your length. I hope you enjoy this new journey. Your stylist is very talented.
Good for you girl u will enjoy it, I relaxed last year after 3 years natural, I'm doing big chop again next week coz we do what works for you at that point In time, enjoy love you look amazing

Your hair looks beautiful and healthy! 😍I’ve also been going back and forth about relaxing my hair. My problem before was I didn’t do a good job of maintaining my relaxed hair so saw a lot of breakage. Would love to see videos on how you maintain your relaxed hair.
Let's all do to our hair what makes us happy. I've been relaxed back to natural back to relaxed back to natural and now I'm relaxed and if I choose I will go back to natural but it is all up to ME. Leave my hair alone and I'll do the same for you.
Right!...I had relaxed hair for years. Then when I was pregnant with my son I went natural. Then I went back to relaxed hair after I had him. Then I went back to natural, years later, back to relaxed hair, shortly after. Honey back to natural for years. And now, ready to go back to relaxed hair. So as you see, I've been, back and forth, over the years. My hair...we can do what we please!
I really enjoyed watching the video and found it very relaxing when the hairdresser was washing and massaging your hair💆🏿♀️😴.Your hair looks healthy and beautiful natural or relaxed. Each to their own! 💕👸🏿
I did it...WORST MISTAKE EVER💯💯💯..1 relaxer and I regretted it! ...put my hair back in braids growing the relaxer out that was 2 years ago...still growing out the relaxer
I have been considering relaxing my hair after 5 years of going natural. After watching this video and can safely say, I am relaxing my hair this coming s summer.
The first relaxer is easy the issue comes with relaxing the new growth and that same relaxer touching on previously relaxed hair damaging it more. So don’t base your decision of first time relax video. Watch other videos from those that have been relaxing for a year or so or keep following this lady’s journey to see how her hair is doing a year from now.
Notification gang, yooooo Thandi and Christine ningenzani kodwa relaxing . I wanted to relax my hair but I had doubts now I see Thandi relax her hair Iam so tempted.....it is true, it is very hard to tame care of natural hair.....💕💕.
God Bless your beautiful hair BUT I WOULD HAVE NNNNNEEEVVVERRR!!! Looks lovely though! Much love on your new journey Sis!!! ETA Hair looks BEAUTIFUL at the End!!!
Nah sis you were right natural is a lot of work especially if you’re just starting out or if it doesn’t fit your lifestyle. You gotta do what works for you
Sweetie if you want to keep that long relaxed hair never let anyone round brush. If you don't like hooded dryers or air drying your hair natural hair will work best. Direct heat and relaxers don't go together
I can relate with the relaxer burns, that is why I went the natural route. It seems relaxing hair is much more expensive now 😩, or is it the Mizani relaxer? Not relaxing my hair anytime soon.
Not me watching this all over again just to convince myself to actually relax my hair. Constantly thinking about it and actually doing it includes a lot of emotions 😭😭😭😭🙈
Your hair looks nice..and that’s great you like it..personally I’m Team Natural, and would do a simple deep condition, blowout & trim once in awhile (to avoid heat damage) to get that look..afterwards, though, I couldn’t wait to go back to my kinky curls!😀😀
I have natural hair and yho 😩 its so hard to maintain 😪 I always have to have my hair in some protective style. After watching this video I'm slowly considering relaxing my hair also. Your looks amazing Thandi.
I’m a bit shocked they agreed to relax your hair when it wasn’t in a healthy state. I’m not sure what was going on with all the hair that broke of in the brush, but as long as your happy. You didn’t take care of your natural hair are you for sure going to take care of your relaxed hair?
I so want to relax my hair but my hair doesnt want to come to the party.... After a week it blows out if I have relaxed it.... I don't know what to do 😣
I'm enjoying watching your content. I wish the volume was a bit higher. I'm missing parts of what you're saying while I'm on the road. Thanks for sharing the process!☺️😍
Looks nice, I would have recommended you just doing a silk press, relaxing is just not something I recommend especially with such beautiful hair already.
@@wintersantiago2274 Maybe you went to the wrong place, where did you do it? mine lasted 2 to 3 weeks and was crazy silky it was as if I had on a weave sleep, tie it still.
Wow what relaxer is this that doesnt burn? relaxing makes hair so much more managable I relaxed my hair this looks like a great salon where is it?please share and hair is gorgeous

@@ThandiGama Okay that makes a lot of sense. I am not familiar with the products. Your hair looks so lush and healthy by the way. 🥰🥰
Not me watching this all over again just to convince myself to actually relax my hair. Constantly thinking about it and actually doing it includes a lot of emotions 😭😭😭😭🙈
Maybe try a texurizer. I had one before going natural. My scalp is too sensitive due to eczema or I'd get another one.
@@artchick07sis a texturized is a form of relaxer...
@@writteninstars I know. I've been natural for 15yrs. I tried the texurizer thing before going natural.
Your hair looks nice..and that’s great you like it..personally I’m Team Natural, and would do a simple deep condition, blowout & trim once in awhile (to avoid heat damage) to get that look..afterwards, though, I couldn’t wait to go back to my kinky curls!😀😀
Ok that’s You. Clearly she relaxed cuz she didn’t want her hair reverting after a wash or just from sweating lol
Skin is skinning 🤩 Nje it's giving what needs to be gave!
Thank you 😍
I am definitely transitioning 🥺🥺❤️
You and Christen are my motivation ❤️❤️
Everyone is relaxing their hair, we are tired shame.
🤣🤣🤣Phansi neshluthu
We are very tired shem. I relaxed back in Feb
It’s too much really 🙆🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️😳
What are you guys tired of? 😂
@@AyandaMakhanya WASH DAY 😢
STIFF WHERE SIS!!!! So in love, it suits you!
Your hair is so gorgeous 😍😍😍. It looks so beautiful relaxed. Might take my daughter to that salon, think she’s also over her afro.
Yes they are gentle
Please don't do that to your baby girl.
Let her be 18 and make her own decision and an adult
I have natural hair and yho 😩 its so hard to maintain 😪 I always have to have my hair in some protective style. After watching this video I'm slowly considering relaxing my hair also.
Your looks amazing Thandi.
Thank you
Your hair is beautiful and you look gorgeous, can’t wait to see more🤗❤️
Relaxed hair is nice until it sheds.I recently converted to natural its hard but I honestly didn't enjoy relaxed hair.
Well let me see how long this lasts 😂
@@ThandiGama With good products and proper care am sure it will last😍
It definitely looks like some Peruvian hair. Wow I love I love😭😍😍😍😍 should try me some Mizani
This is the first relaxer application video that had been done correctly that I’ve seen
Yhoooo bathong I haven't watched u in a while.... Wow ur SKIN LOOKS SO GOOD OMG👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you so much ❤️
Straight hair natural and loving it😌
Yoh mina be alopecia yami sisazama ukukhulisa iAfro, nonetheless umuhle as always ❤️❤️🔥🔥
I have FOMO but I know my hair doesn’t like chemicals
Samel
Yhoo hle.
I’m a bit shocked they agreed to relax your hair when it wasn’t in a healthy state. I’m not sure what was going on with all the hair that broke of in the brush, but as long as your happy. You didn’t take care of your natural hair are you for sure going to take care of your relaxed hair?
We are not our hair🤗
Straight, Afro, curly.. still beautiful
Your hair is jet black, would you ever try colour?
The people at the salon kept asking if I’ve colored my hair actually. But I’m not sure I like color on my natural hair
@@ThandiGama Niceee... hopefully you ll keep the hair contents on
🤍
The hair looks really healthy.
You look so much like your sister in that last clip before taking off your mask🥰
wow, I love seeing these videos I'm going to leave my 4c hair for 2 more years so it can be even longer.
I’m excited about the new relaxed hair content coming our way…
I so want to relax my hair but my hair doesnt want to come to the party.... After a week it blows out if I have relaxed it.... I don't know what to do 😣
Still looks healthy.....😍
Thank you
I’m going back relaxed at the beginning of the year. Ive had locks for 12 years and will be combing them out before my 30th birthday.
I wish I could go natural but my hair is so so so coarse and thick and I’m extremely tenderheaded. Relaxer it is
Such healthy gorgeous hair 😍😍😍 I love it , your hair looks amazing
I'm enjoying watching your content. I wish the volume was a bit higher. I'm missing parts of what you're saying while I'm on the road. Thanks for sharing the process!☺️😍
I tried to go back to relaxed and my skin protested big time. 😩 They did a good job
Your hair looked so beautiful the final result
I’m so tempted to relax my hair😭😭
Wow your hair is perfect. Did he apply anything after straightening your hair to keep it silk?.
Looks nice, I would have recommended you just doing a silk press, relaxing is just not something I recommend especially with such beautiful hair already.
Silk press is a fkin joke. Overpriced and doesn’t hold. Look like Sister Sister in 3 days. All that heat is just as damaging as a perm.
@@wintersantiago2274 Maybe you went to the wrong place, where did you do it? mine lasted 2 to 3 weeks and was crazy silky it was as if I had on a weave sleep, tie it still.
😭😭😭😭😭 Thandi! Looking stunning 😍
Wow what relaxer is this that doesnt burn? relaxing makes hair so much more managable I relaxed my hair this looks like a great salon where is it?please share and hair is gorgeous
I wish I could get a relaxer but my hair is too fine, being natural helps to make it look thicker.
Same💔
Same
These too sisters are a bondage too tight. 🤛🏾🤛🏾 A we did it team!
Your hair turned out beautifully
Gorgeous. The trim they did was just around the bottom ends or did they go in to trim the end in the middle and front of your hair?
Yes they went in and trimmed all split ends
I textlaxed my hair last week to loosen my 4c curls a bit and make my hair easier to manage.
How are you liking your hair since you've textlaxed? Does it seem dry?
It’s so long and healthy!😍
Great decision Thandi!🌸🌸
I'm so tempted to do the same, I'm just not inlove with my afro anymore 🥺
