What's up gang?! What are some of your relaxed hair practices? Share with us!
Hi what relaxer do u use?
Hey what relaxer is used on your hair?
Great video! Loving your relaxed hair. Looks so full and healthy. Keep up the great work.
Hairlicious Inc. Thanks so much!! It really means a lot coming from you, an OG in the hair game! ❤️💋
My hair hates coconut oil I hope more hair products will not include it I think the safest oil to go with is olive oil
It's great that you're aware! Honestly, experimenting and seeing what does and does not work for your hair is key to growth. Thanks for watching!
My hair doesn't like coconut oil either, but it absolutely loves pomegranate oil, boabab oil, and jojoba oil. I find my hair likes lighter oils and not heavy oils, otherwise it gets extremely dry when I use coconut oil, or black castor oil. I read a tip online, if you have low porosity hair, it's best to use light carrier oils, and avoid the heavy ones, and it works. Give it a try.
Alaina C. Awesome tips, this is sure to help someone. Thanks for sharing love!! ❤️
Your hair is very healthy beautiful . Relaxed 5 months ago was natural for 3 years. Loving my relaxed hair. A little shorter than yours. Not going back to natural. Relaxed is so much easier. I have more time for other things that I enjoy. Thank you for this awesome video
Looking amazing. I can’t wait to reach your length
ColleenMarieT You’ll get there love!! Can’t wait for your growth! ❤️❤️
Thanks for these videos Alexis! I'm 5 years natural and seriously considering texlaxing because I'm genuinely exhausted with natural hair! Thanks for all the updates, they're super helpful
Natalie Tewa You are so welcome!!! My pleasure ❤️😘 I know exactly how you feel. That’s what made me decide to texlax and I love it. At the end of the day, there are no bad decisions, just experiences. Hair grows back. Good luck my love! ❤️
Your hair is beautiful! You're my hair goals!!
Max Germain Aww thank you babe! Set goals and don’t settle for anything less. You got this! ❤️❤️
Your hair..is just BEAUTIFUL and healthy!! I've been meaning to try the QP for quite some time..but for some reason I keep forgetting to..Meanwhile I use S-curl activator,Shea Moisture Curl Enhance Smoothie or KeraCare Overnight moisture treatment and seal with NOW argan or avocado oil.
❤️ your moisture regimen. It’s very similar to mine. Beautiful results.
Tiffany Williams Thank you babe and thanks for watching!! ❤️
Those ends look GOODT! Sometimes I miss my relaxed hair it was mid back length wen I big chopped my hair is back to that length but chileeeee 3 years in and it has been a journey I don’t THINK I’d go back to the creamy crack but I definitely would never rule it out lol
Rae of sunshine 🌻 lmao sorry for the delay boo. Girlll listen, the creamy crack ain’t for everybody but I COMPLETELY know how you’re feeling 😂😂 I was there! Hopefully you’re still experiencing great lengths with your natural hair? ❤️
My Godness.... i really love it 🥰 😍🥰
I hope to be this length by June 2020
mcelweewife I believe in you babe. Just keep up with a healthy moisture routine and regular trims and you’re on your way! Keep us posted on your progress! ❤️
Very informative, love your videos, and your makeup is always on point. From new subscriber
staciiish Aww thank you my darling!! ❤️🙏🏾 I’m happy you found this helpful and I’m so happy you’re here! 💋
Love it! Your hair is so inspiring for me on my hair journey, and we stretch our relaxers about the same time ☺️
The House Family Aww I’m so happy I could be of help! Sorry for the delay, life is crazy lol. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel! Set goals for your hair, experiment, and have fun. Good luck on your journey! ❤️💋
You really got people out here relaxing they hair. Nice length
Lol! Nah, I really want to encourage women to choose what's best for them and not make decisions based on what they think OTHER people would want them to do. And thanks love!
BEAUTIFUL HAIIRRR!!!!
mcelweewife Thank ya darling!!! ❤️😍
Your hair looks great 👍
Love your hair. I wish I could wear my hair relaxed sometimes. I've had bad experiences with relaxers so I am terrified to try it again. I love my curly natural hair but it would be nice to be able to change it up sometimes too.
Getting Fit After Forty I definitely understand boo! I personally love my texlaxed hair for the versatility, but it does come with its drawbacks. There really are no bad decisions. Hair grows back! Have you checked out my “Watch this before relaxing” video? I go through the pros and cons of relaxing there! Good luck on your journey and thanks for the support babe 💋
Beautiful relaxer outcome. Looks very healthy.
Debbie Debeaux Thanks so much! I’m really enjoying the health of my hair so far. Are you relaxed/texlaxed/natural? And thanks for watching love!! ❤️
@@AlexisKimberlyy I rexlaxed after 7 years natural ( December '18). I find that things are way easier this time around. I just stretched (using protective styling) for 6 months and for the most part it was a breeze. I use to relax every 6 to 8 weeks, had to be bone straight to be a "good perm" lol, now I'm looking for some texture right after relaxing. I really am enjoying your videos. Great personality and great info!
Debbie Debeaux Hahaha, sis there was a point I was relaxing every 4 weeks. It was out of control lol! I’m so happy you’re happy with your results. 7 years natural is a long time so for you to say that means a lot. You sharing this will definitely inspire someone. Thanks for sharing and for the kind words babe! ❤️
soooo prettyyyyy!
Christiana Okoye thanks boo 😘
I love the ElastaQP Mango Butter Moisturizer too. Some Sally Beauty Supply locations sell the 32 ounce size for $8.49. The same size also sell for that price in the website. Thanks so much for sharing your hair regimen and tips.
Sonia Stovall Oh shoot! I need to be buying in bulk then! Thanks for putting us on. And you are so welcome! My pleasure ❤️❤️
AlexisKimberlyy You’re welcome 😊
My hair is very wavy curly so I texlaxed 2x a year!.I get it trimmed every 3 - 4 months..I wear roller sets and sometimes curly I have thick hair..I do wear love knots.I have long hair no problems because it's trim frequently zI guess...because I hate uneven Hair! Your hair beautiful.Love your video!
Very nice!! I love thick curly hair. I'm sure yours is absolutely stunning! I bet the regular trims and protective styling go a longgg way for getting you your length. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the kind words, love!!
this makeup is absolutely beautiful a tutorial would be much appreciated 🌹 I've been binging watching all your videos I was depressed with my hair but somehow you motivate me hearts on you sis love your content 💕✨
BoZ Keep that motivation up. You’ve got this! I know how you feel and not feeling good about your hair can really make you feel like you’re not yourself. But I believe in change and you can turn this around. I’m so happy to have helped in some way through my content. Stay tuned for more babe! Feel free to reach out if you have questions ❤️💋
Hi! Your hair is gorgeous! I would like to know if your routine change during winter ? Do you do any protective style (other than wigs )? Thank you for your videos! I'll relax my hair in a few days and youre very helpful!
Laura C Thank you babe! Interestingly, I tend to wear my hair out more in the winter because it’s the only time of year my hair will survive the humidity lol. The only other protective style I do is braids and twists which I would like to do more of!
New subbie; love your channel
For some reason the nape of my neck grows longer and is softer than the rest of my hair
Tanna I You’re a lucky gal! I always have to be mindful of what I wear and giving that area a little extra TLC. Thanks for watching hun! ❤️
Mine too. It's silky and like 3c and grows strangely fast. But tangles more than my 4a/b hair.
Wow God bless you!! Mine doesn't...@ Tanna I
I'd give anything for 3c hair!! @ lissa rich
Me too- my kitchen is actually the easiest to manage
Your hair looks very healthy and thick.
Denesha Abigale Thank ya darling and thanks for watching!! 😘
😍
What relaxer do you use?
Forgot ORS..shampoo and conditioner love it too!
Where can we go for professional straightening
😍😍😍
Samantha Kendrick Thankss hun! ❤️❤️
When you wear wigs and want to protect your edges, wear a wigi grip. It will protect your edges and leave no room for you need to use the built-combs within wigs. You can find them in a well-stocked beauty supply store or amazon. My edges are extremely thick and have taken off after using wigi grip and i always wear wigs
Kayla Warner THANK YOU! I always heard about wigi grip but was always skeptical. I figured the wig wouldn’t lay flat if there was something sitting on my hairline. Now I want to give this a try! Thanks babe! ❤️🙌🏾
How many weeks do you relax
Please.... I need your help! Where to go to professionally straighten
I just slap coconut oil in my head 😂. Keep a jar on me
Hahaha, coconut oil is my jammm! It's good for everything. Keep a personal always girl, hahaha.
Beautiful hair! How long has it taken you to get to this length?
SD Wind Thanks babe! Oh man, it’s hard to say. At least 3 years, maybe more... I’ve done cuts along the way.
Beautiful woman, beautiful hair!!
Nom Cee Aww thank you beautiful!! ❤️
Hi, your hair is beautiful! Do you dye it? And what color, because it is beautiful!!
Monica Taylor Hi love! Thank you! 🙏🏾 Nope I don’t dye it. Thanks for watching ❤️
I relaxed my hair 3 days ago after being natural for 6 years. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I miss my big hair.
Synobia Smith Aww hun don’t lose hope. Give yourself time to get used to the adjustment. You may start enjoying some of the pros to relaxed hair. Sometimes it takes time to see yourself in a way you’re not used to. Good luck love. If you have questions you can always ask ❤️❤️
Synobia Smith if you don’t like it, you can transition back to natural
@@AlexisKimberlyy I'm getting more comfortable with it
@@darceyderosa2426 I'm getting a little more comfortable. Thanks
Synobia Smith that’s great! What styles are you going to do?
Use the elasta QP extra body relaxer that will smooth you you and give extra body
Odjevwe Oraka Nice! I want to look into more of their product line because the moisturizer works so well for me. Thanks for the tip! ❤️
To grow your nape you should focus on it, moisturize in sections, the middle of the hair tends to get neglectes. Wigs and protective styles should be done carefully, tight braids can cause breakage too. Congrats for your hair, your doing right.
JA C SA You’re so right! It’s so easy to overlook that section so making a point to moisturize in sections is key! Thanks for the kind words babe and thanks for watching!
Your hair is lovely 😍 but is it relaxed or texlaxed? I’m currently texlaxed and considering going to full relaxed due to my hair still frizzing out with any moisture !
Love your vids too xxx
Leanne Gustave Thanks darling!! It’s definitely texlaxed. My hair is always the straightest right after a relaxer service. Give it a couple washes, my texture will become more apparent! And I hear you on the frizz! That’s the biggest downside to texlaxing in my opinion. So annoying. Good luck boo! Maybe do a strand test first? ❤️
Texlaxed? Is it relaxer mixed with extra oil?
Jane Louw Nope! I just leave the regular relaxer on for. Shorter period of time. Check out my how I texlax my hair video, love. ❤️❤️
My hair has never been this straight even though I've got fine hair with medium density. Texlaxing didn't work for me. I'm natural now. Might go back to relaxers but not now. Maybe in 7 years time
Gorgeous 😍😍😍💖💖💖. When I get my touch ups I coat my previously relaxed hair with coconut oil or vaseline.
Jasmine Brown-Kyles Smart practice! Helps to prevent relaxer run-off! Thanks for watching babe ❤️
Jasmine Brown-Kyles - Hmmmm I’m not relaxed but this is smart ☺️ I’m tempted to relax though...
@@AlexisKimberlyy thank you gorgeous 💖
@@joy5016 thank you 💖💖💖
I’ve been natural for 9 years. I’m thinking of going back to relaxers! The back of my hair grows longer than the front. The front always gets breakage smh
Kelli Kerr Those front hairs are hard to grow long too! My whole perimeter is fragile so I have to give it some extra tlc. What’s making you think about relaxing, love? ❤️
AlexisKimberlyy I want a different look. I’ve done wigs and weaves and braids but I’m ready for a change. I have a pretty good method for keeping my 4c hair moisturized. Using better quality products helped reduce a lot of my breakage, the front is just growing slowly. One I get that part to a length I want I will do a healthy cut/shape and then relax it. My goal would be to get it straight and still keep a lot of texture and volume. I live in a very humid climate (Miami) and a texlax might not work for me.
Kelli Kerr Sounds like you’ve got a great grasp on your hair care! I completely know what you mean about wanting a change. I go through seasons of change myself. Keep up that routine and I’m sure your front will grow out. Make sure to do regular scalp massages to circulate the blood flow to that area. Mind sharing some of your staple moisturizing products?
AlexisKimberlyy yesss! I’m about to be 30 soon so I’m thinking that’s the time when I make the change. My favorite moisturizer right now is from Mane Choice, the tropical moringa collection. The leave in conditioner and sealant are amazing. It makes my 4c hair feel like a cloud with lots of movement.
Kelli Kerr Yes! New season in life calls for a change! I’m rooting for you. Good luck! Let us know what you do ❤️
Really considering texlaxing.
Hi Alexis, which lipstick are you wearing here? I love it!
Ruby Woo with Nightmoth lip liner!
@@AlexisKimberlyy Thank you so much!
Where's your lip color from???
Sierra LaFaye I line with MAC lip pencil Nightmoth and the lipstick is MAC Ruby Woo. Thanks for watching hun ❤️
@@AlexisKimberlyy I love your nail color too !!! Which brand it is ?
Joseph Rose Marsha aww thanks darling! I’m actually not sure because I get them done. It’s a gel powder color. It may be OPI.
I have just switched to relaxed hair After being natural for 10 years ...and 15 months from a c-section.
My hair is such weak, dry, flat and breaks easily 😟😩😩😩... I will try keracare products or satinique antifall or volumizing products ... I really hope it will repair all this mess 😢😥
Joseph Rose Marsha Oh no! How long did you leave the relaxer on? Did you do a protein treatment? If you haven’t done one yet you may want to consider using Aphogee’s product line or Olaplex to restore the protein in your hair. Balance that with regular deep conditioning and make sure those ends are in good shape. You don’t want any breakage to work its way up the hair shaft.
@@AlexisKimberlyy Thank you for your advice!
I've been to dominican hair salon. I think the timing was OK. Maybe my hair was so fragile before the process.
I will try the protein treatment (I have high porosity)... with aphogee's products, thank you again!
@@rosemarshajoseph2972 Of course babe!! If I'm honest and I don't mean any shade by this, but in my personal experience going to a Dominican hair salon many years ago, the stylist used a lot of heat on my hair and I ended up with SO much damage just from one visit. Obviously that doesn't mean all Dominican hair salons are bad, but you just want to be mindful that some stylists don't know how to treat our hair properly. What works for some may not work for all.
@@AlexisKimberlyy Yeah! I get it!!! A lot of heat, for sure! And, ...without using a heat protector... You're right!!!!
By the way, I've tried the protein Mask and I see the difference in just 2 weeks. It's Amazing!!! Thank you !
Joseph Rose Marsha Yay! I’m happy you’re seeing progress! Keep up a good regimen (balancing deep conditioning and protein) and I hope you see more improvements!! ❤️❤️💋
Pretty
Esther Zaake Thanks doll!! ❤️
Very beautiful young lady! U resemble Kelly Rowland.....
Gazelle Countryside Thanks so much! What a compliment ❤️❤️
