Congrats on your pregnancy! I’m a retired OB/GYN. Please consider wearing protective gloves when using chemicals in your hair treatments. Always better safe than sorry. Best wishes.
She wore plastic gloves during application and smoothing!
I like too add that even rinsing the relaxer out after applying relaxer the professional would need too wear Gloves up too her elbows,Then the professional would not be able too fill if the relaxer is out of the clients Hair.mygod
Note:) the reason for gloves at ALL times when touching chemicals on hair is your exposed skin while rinsing out relaxer, absorbs into the body and can be harmful to unborn fetus. It’s a precaution to wear gloves.
@@lureneconkey7519needs to wear a respirator to prevent chemical smells harming baby.
@@lureneconkey7519
The entire process until after shampooing gloves should be used, especially during pregnancy ‼️
These comments 🙄 thought maybe she ruined her hair or something. It looks good and still healthy. People will literally say anything to impose their "team natural" agenda on others
Hey Crystal, I’m natural and I’m tired of it and will be getting a relaxer soon.😊
She didn’t look too happy I thought she was gona cry she gave a False smile at the end.
Didn’t she
😂 she really didn’t look happy at all
I wouldn’t have been happy with that end result.
Is so weird people when they have something good they wanna keep it secret but this hair stylist she explains things She does a good job
So true. I wish I had still lived in Florida to go to her. She truly cares about the hair and realizes everyone's hair and scalp are different. Some stylists almost seem to look down on a client if their hair is not "easy" to do or "genetically" healthy.
So True
Yes! Love her detailing things. May siund a little contradictory, but this is probably the healthiest relaxer processes I've ever seen or heard. Almost makes me wanna book a flight after about 12yrs natural. Lol
@@stephf4175 Nope, best to stay natural sis. Gotta think of the horrible LONG-TERM effects of of making your hair do something it wasn't meant to do 🤷🏽♀️ I love my natural. Takes a little more time, BUT well worth it in the end. 💯❤️💁🏽♀️
@V Arroz I hear ya! I actually did a an already'-natural big chop a year ago for a milestone bday. It literally takes me myself 30 minutes from start to finish FINALLY for an actual wash & go & about 5 minutes on non-wash days now! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Been natural for 25 years now and was relaxed for 35 years The relaxer was basically peeling my scalp off because my grew so fast that my beautician had to relax my hair every 4 weeks. Tried dying my hair but the same problem with those chemicals; therefore I am now natural and grey. My hair is thick and long to my shoulder and I love it.
Yesssssssss, Angela!!!!!! Your story sounds like mine!!!!! I will NEVA go back to putting a CHEMICAL in my hair! NEVVVVVA! 😊 Love my Natural hair! 🤗
@Tepid Cupcake He performed autopsies?
@Yazzmen Cortnee LMBO Righttt 🤭
I no longer use chemical s love my grey
How much does your hair grow in 1 month?
I am Natural and I love Natural look. My hair grows fast Natural than Relaxer, some people like a Relaxer, but with me been Natural over 14 years, I am used to it. My hair has grown and then break off, damage, grows, break off, now since I am using your products lines it's getting better, stronger and healthy, strengthening.
Her hair is gorgeous and shiny
My hair grows better with relaxer and using keratin!
I'm also natural I used to hate my natural hair but now I love it 😅😅my hair hair grew even better and natural after I accepted it😊
Hair grows with love and acceptance
Ok
Relaxed. I'm a senior with lots of hand cramping when doing any kind of curling or other manipulation of my hair, so I can't see myself ever going back to natural. I'm retired now so budget wise a trip to the salon every week is out of the question. My hair is long enough to just put one braid, pony, or just wear straight. Easy.
Locs
I like the way you instruct, & teach about the care & maintenance of Black hair, all types. I am an 81 year old retiree who works 6-8 hours week. For the past 6 months, I've used your Silk press. It's hard work for a rotator cuff patient, yet I like the feel & glow of my thick gray hair. Thanks
H Kelley
I'm relaxed cause I have thick hair. Most people aren't even aware I'm relaxed it's so thick. I don't care for braids wigs or weaves. Just wear to stretch hair. So I can relate. It hurts to have to do all that hair care (for me, my back).
I’ll be 40 in a couple weeks and alotta grays along with natural hair is under my wigs and I actually wear my Afro when I’m not wigged up…it’s becoming very tiring keeping up with it…it’s why I’m watching these videos because I’m going back to relaxed hair today after years of being natural
I was 8 years natural and my hair was pass my shoulders. I allowed the owner of the shop I got my bi-weekly wash to relax my hair (since she seemed to know what she was doing) and within 4 -5 months my hair broke off barely to my neck. So here I am again now 11+ years natural. Hair down my back. Loving my curls and getting a blowout with no straightener every other year for full length checks. This was hard to watch. Her hair was coming out in the sink.
For me I never had luck with relaxers. I found e en when retouching the stylist would apply the relaxer all over my head.
I will never go back to the creamy crack. It's like smoking cigarettes. Absolutely no good can come from it. 🙁
Amen.
Hair comes out by shedding whether someone is relaxed or natural. That’s just normal.
@@92spice18 relaxers damage the cuticle layer of keratin on the hair shaft, dry and weaken them, and that is what causes relaxer breakage.
I’m team natural and don’t judge team relaxer. We all have different textures and experiences with our hair. At a young age I was getting relaxers at home by my experienced sister so doing it at home is okay just know what you’re doing.
I loved how you explained everything and styled. Congratulations on your pregnancy and best wishes.
The tricky part is these products have unhealthy ingredients that can cause long lasting health issues.
@The Zu I agree. Even if I knew what I was doing-I wouldnt Never do something like this at home.
I'm team natural and no matter how these relaxers look good on video and your hair, just can't get myself to put a relaxer in my hair. I don't judge any women who use relaxers. At one point of my life, I had them. Love what natural hair does for me. I believe no matter what texture, what chemical you put in your hair, you must take care of it.
After seeing this video, I will stay natural. I do want the convenience of a relaxer, but I enjoy the volume of natural hair. Since I have low density hair, it’s best that I stay natural.
I’m team relaxer and love every bit of it been relaxing over30 years ❤
Congratulations on your pregnancy Crystal 🎉🎉
I used to have wavy hair. Since going thru chemo twice, I have very coily, curly hair. 11yrs cancer free and learning how to get my curls to pop without being crunchy..😂
God is faithful to you
💙💙🙏🏿
Congratulations on 11yrs CancerFREE ❤😉
Crystal will help you with that. Her products and advice are amazing. My hair is growing after a 7 year draught. Yaye for being cancer free!
@@1soFortunate 💙💙🙏🏿
I've learned so much about hair care by watching your channel. You're very knowledgeable about what you do and how you do it. Blessings to you 🙏🏾 ❤
Been natural for 3 years. Been relaxed for 40. I love my natural hair & glad in my lifetime I am able to embrace it again & be thankful. I am a twist in/out girl & with it growing ....I love it...the volume looks nice. Nice to see our natural girls rocking their own hair...always get compliments. Brought the revair for the stretch & perfect!
Relaxed is not a wig!
Yes demi! Natural is most beautiful and will always reign Supreme ❤️
You did a great job.on the ladys hair
That is good for you and your individual perspective. We all don't have to agree.
My son has been doing twists in twist out for about 18 months and his hair went from 2 in to his shoulders beautiful healthy hair. His little sisters hair is more like world war 3 but it is growing very healthy using protective styles
Sometimes the professional don’t know what they doing
it grinds my gears to see a stylist be so rough on fragile wet hair when washing and wash scrubbing in circles like that and putting knots in the hair. than after putting knots in the hair you use a comb and comb through soaking wet hair and as you seen there was a glob of hair she pulled from the comb after that. Than that flat iron was so hot it looked like it was sending off smoke signals my god,newly relaxed hair does not need that hot of a iron.
Going on 53 and have been relaxed since I was in my late teens. Kind of natural during Covid. But that’s it. My hair is healthy and past my shoulders. To each her own!
Shoulder length isn't long hair 😂
@@aleksandralempart8305 you sound like a big ass kid. Smh.
She never said her hair was long in her comment
Scissors happy!😳 what a setback the lady wanted to cry🥺
I love your channel! I have straight "Scandinavian hair" myself and this is a new world to me. I realize it's soooo simple for me. I can just BRUSH my hair and I'm done... 🥺. You're doing such a great job!
You AN EXCELLENT JOB!!! I'm a natural for about 20 years or more. You taught me something when you said something in regards to the relaxer at the mid shaft versus starting at the root made so much sense. Her hair looks absolutely gorgeous. 🥰😘👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I really like how you tell us what and why you are doing to her hair. You are so amazing. Thank you 💓
Wear your hair whatever way you want to wear it! Don't let other women tell you how to wear your hair! Just keep it healthy.
Congrats on your pregnancy!! OMGosh! I carried my daughter exactly the same way and whew towards the end I thought she was going to break my ribs. Didn’t happen & you’ll be fine. I’ve been natural now for about 40 years and even started growing the gray out when Covid hit. Her hair turned out looking so soft…beautiful job!
Hi crystal I am natural I am a breast cancer survivor of 14 years, and i can not get perms anymore and I love being natural.
Locs
I’m relaxed for about 4 months now after being natural for 12 years. Just got tired of all the maintenance. Happy now! Just wanted to know what to use daily to keep it healthy.
Same. Exact same! I'm getting older, an empty nester, working out and just need my time and energy for other things in life. Blessings Sis!🩷
Daily moisturizer especially the ends.
There's no maintenance if you don't manipulate it to do what it's not suppose to do. My hair only takes an hour, tops hour in a half...because I leave it in an afro!!! Some people try to make there type 4 hair look type 3, then cry it takes so long. Accept it.
I love the curlers my mom used curl our hair with paper grocery bags , she would twist it and then twirl our hair around it, we would jump up and down to see our hair bounce lol we were so happy with it.
Paper bag hair rollers. I used those back in the day.
I remember!!
Yessss.. I even used notebook paper! Grandma said no electric devices in her house. Hot comb went on the stove too. Air dry..royal crown hair grease
@@terriewilliams8831
Yes !!
I remember the brown paper bag rolling days .
😂🤣
Ghetto
I wanted to tell you that I was concerned about your breathing. I have heard it before this video. it is good to see you working still. Peace to you and yours Crystal.
We need more ladies like this one she’s really good and not only that she doesn’t cut a lot of hair like other’s she cut only the end. Beautiful job love it
The client didn’t look happy, the hair did it aged her too 😕
Especially when she put them glasses on😂
I’m surprised this was posted because the client does not seem happy with the results.
The shine is incredible on her hair 😍
Virgin on the crown of my head and relaxed on the sides and back. My crown area is fine textured hair it grows slow. My sides and back grow fast. My hair cut is longer on the top and short on the sides and back. I wanted my hair to lay down flat….no curls. 😊 I just got the relaxer yesterday and I love it!
That's an old-fashioned "hair do."😮
Yes old lady ass hair style!
Wow ur client is beautiful I love her hair great job crystal
Hello Crystal.
I am relaxed. High porosity and I Get my touch up faithfully every 6 maybe 8 weeks. Thank you for all your great advice on product and hair care. I was natural for years and finally did a big chop and I love it. I just bought your biotin line and the line you suggested for protein treatments. I can not wait to receive my product.
Her hair looks beautiful. I’ve been natural for over 10 years. I have thin hair and the liquid crack was making even thinner
I am Natural. Her hair is so beautiful. Congratulations to up coming new members of your family 🎉
That hairstyle aged that woman. I knew it was going left when she gave her a middle part to apply the relaxer. And going to so-called professionals is one of the reasons I suffer from certain types of alopecia.
I didn't like how this client hair turned out@all. Def not Crystal's best, I do have to say.
I agree. The client didn't look pleased either. It honestly looked rushed
Hmmmmmm I’m underwhelmed by the results.
I would’ve gotten a silk press and kept it moving.
Hair not moving , and looks lackluster. The roots weren’t straight either. Is keeping the perm away from the scalp because of the connection to cancers?
She doesn’t look happy at all!!!!!
I’ve been natural my entire life.
@@TheJacasserie
And you'll still die from something. 😅 God don't care whether you were relaxed or natural, you'll be judged either way.
Ive been natural since '97 btw but y'all *judgemental naturals* make me sick.
Yeah you can achieve the silk press look without those toxic relaxers or toxic chemicals.
I love that Affirm uses conditioner before neutralizing because the cuticle is still open. And they have a nice applicator bottle to base the scalp with.
I’m glad she chose what was best for her!
🤔She didn't look happy, seems like it could have been styled better than that. Them curls too tight!
The style is dated. Couldn’t u have wrapped her hair and then combed it out. In my opinion, you really give your clients “old lady” styles. SMH
I’m Natural her hair is beautiful you did a awesome job!
Client didn’t seem happy.
I'm natural on the top and relaxed on the sides / back. I'm not one to judge, do what ever makes you happy. You did an excellent job on your client ❤
I was relaxed for over 20 years, and then I decided to go natural. I love it, but now I'm trying new hairstyles for my natural hair. It's been over 3 years now, so I've gotten some growth.
Same here exactly the same time frame! Team natural I’m all for it!! 🙌🏾
I am so glad that I am not getting relaxers anymore and just wearing my hair naturally. But thank you for the video.😊
Yes she did a proper job on her hair but it ofcourse looked less full. Looking at this video, makes me glad I'm free from that and know how to properly love and care for my natural hair. All those chemicals, heat, " new growth", hair bonnet and cap slipping off at night and fear of rain and humidity, I can't live like that.
@@clarktownsend506 I agree.
Locs😊
Team natural. Hair reached waist length this January. My secret is washing with natural ingredients, tension blowdrying it once every 2 weeks and oiling it every night. I personally would never use a relaxer, however I’m pro relaxer for those persons who need the chemical to keep their hair stretched.
what natural ingredients?
@@MyIGNameIsSuperThickVegan african black soap with ayurvedic herbs and spraying it with aloe vera juice and jojoba oil each night
🎉🎉🎉🎉yes ma'am for the anniversary sales as well as the clients hair. Looked good!❤
She cut a lot of that lady's hair off! All she needed to do was deep condition and trim the ENDS!!!!!!!!! That was not a trim. That was a deep cut.
I'm relaxed and my hair has a nice length. I'm with u. Do whatever u gotta do for your hair as long as your happy not the naysayers lol.
I’m relaxed also. I have a nice length too. I can’t do natural
Crystal, I agree that a professional cosmetologist for such hair care. I enjoy watching because my late mother was a cosmologist and it makes me smile inside and out. Thank you. 😊💜😊
Natural…and for the most part I leave my hair alone.
Wash, treat my scalp, moisturize, braid. No extensions!
No heat and clip my ends when needed.
Silk bonnet while sleeping!
And I bet your hair is sooo sooo beautiful!!!!
I love that I got a perm after 10 years natural and NOW i see others who did the same. I felt like....my hair is not happy, im not happy. I want easy happy times with my hair. I had a vacay, went swimming, washed my hair, wrapped it (deep condition helps) wore clip ins, it blended, wore my permed hair, effortlessly cute and easy and fast styling. Very fragile so I will let it grow with love and time. I think i should perm every 4 months. It depends cause my new growth is no joke.
I love this! Been natural over 10 years and believe it was the worst choice for my hair - ate my edges. I'm having a battle in my head to get a relaxer or struggling through temporary silk presses just aren't cutting in the long term, like you I want easy peasy get up and go hair with zero reversion and also I want to workout😂
Thats what i want. I feel like i look more beautiful with my relax hair. They will come for me but im got back to relaxer. Have to find a good stylist like her.
This hairstyle is so pretty. I could never grasp the concept of curling hair with flat irons.
Me either I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who couldn't
Lol same here 🙌🏾😂
I would travel the globe to have this woman do my hair😅😅😅..
Many blessings to you and your family! Congratulations 🎊 on your pregnancy, please remember to take your rest periods, I can hear your labor breathing, it could be because you were talking, standing, and working, that's a lot! Your client hair look beautiful! 🙏🏽💐
I’ve been natural going on 4 years now…I almost went back and got a relaxer a couple of weeks ago because I have soooo much hair and needed an easier way to manage all this hair! My braid outs weren’t acting right anymore. 😢Then I thought about all the hard work, time/energy I put into my hair when transitioning back to my natural hair, that I decided not to go back to a relaxer. 😮💨 I went and got a Dominican blow out instead!😌😊🥰
Thank you so much for this video, I've learned so much. I used to do my own relaxing at home and suffered so much damage. I have been natural for several years now but considering a relaxer for the summer. I will definitely go to the professional 😊❤ I will be checking out your products as well 😊
Locs
Yes Crystal tell 'em 'bout rinsing that relaxer off the nape and behind the ears. I had friends who suffered hair loss because of not enough rinses.
You messed up her hair. That hairstyle looks like a elderly lady style. You cut hair but that's not at all necessary😮
I'm glad you said that about the smoke. People do think the hair is burning
I’m natural. For over 20 years I was relaxed. I made the choice to go natural because of allergies 🤧 I’ve been natural now for going on 10 years the August. I love seeing videos like this though ❤
All hair salons should have power showers. Especially for washing out chemicals.
I just want to say that you did a amazing job on her beautiful hair! I myself have natural curly hair which I straightened all the time! This was my first time seeing your video, I can't wait to see more 🤗😃
Her hair is so pretty. I am team whatever as well. As a woman who has been both relaxed and natural, I embrace both. Personally, my hair was more damaged when it was relaxed. I did the big chop last year after going back and forth for years.
Love watching your technics! You make it look so easy.
Nice work...
Congratulations on the new bundle of joy.
Shoot I don't blame her, I'm satisfied with the length I have rn, a relaxer for some more manageable roller sets and braid outs starting to not look like a bad idea....
You are the best in this business. Very clear in explaining the process. Congratulations on your baby 👣
Nice results. Only thing I always notice the way you rinse hair. Do you ever open, part hair to rinse in the middle and all areas of the scalp? It looks like you just go around perimeter abd hold at the top of the head.
I think you explained it so well. It's like you're not suppose to have a relaxer done by any other person who's not a cosmetologist but if you do this is the right way to do it. That's hecka Kool I think you rock.😢
Awww IDK you were pregnant. Congratulations. I haven't been tuned in for a while. Also I wished ALL hairstylist was like you about trimming AND not cutting. There's a difference
I truly enjoyed this video! I have locs and I'm so ready for a change.
🔥🔥🔥🔥looks beautiful. I am natural curly hair. Crystal you does amazing work with hair🥰
Ms. Crystal ma'am you are one of the most truly knowledgeable hair stylists I've ever seen. The question is how can I get my hair done by you?
Her hair is so pretty you did a wonderful job on her hair Crystal you always do
Im natural but was permed for several decades.
I too am learning how to care for my hair. Its not easy in the area where I live.
Locs
The client not smiling when it was done is a tell tell sign.
I'm going to be honest her hair is very pretty. No matter how hard they try to keep it with that silky bounce & Flow it's still is very obvious that there's a relaxer
Facts! It’s very obvious to the eyes natural versus chemical
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Many blessings to you and your baby.
Absolutely loved the process from start to finish! She looks beautiful!
Great job once again!!👏🏾and Congratulations on your new little Blessing❤
This style is not flattering on this young lady. That was the hairstyle I would give my mannequin heads or the older clients when I was in cosmetology school back in 1992/1993. I don't know if the client asked for tight curls or not but I think this style would have been so much better if the hair was curled a little looser, wrapped and set under a no/low heat hooded dryer, and then combed out.
Her hair is beautiful. You did an excellent job.
I did this last year after 7 years natural and my hair started breaking off terribly. I cut it down and im going natural again.
Locs
I've been putting relaxers on for 30yrs! I would press it out! Because I wouldn't listen- I pressed through the strands --4-5x's! Unfortunately after 5 yrs of growing out my relaxer -- I then put a Jeri Curl on- my hair! It fell out! I then cut it all off bald-- and my natural hair is curly! So happy that I'm all natural now!💓
Locs
Went from natural to locks. I love my hair! My hair was at its worse when I would have it relaxed.
Me as well. Love locs
I'm natural since 2008. I love it
I’m natural Crystal. I wear Mohawk style, and my hair is Salt/pepper, but I LOVE using wax colors to give that Feisty and Sassy vibe-I ABSOLUTELY Love your products, especially the B7 collection, growth balm and Super Growth serum- All Chefs’ Kiss 😚 🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🥰 Blessings’
Hi. Do the wax colors bleed onto the pillowcases?
@@ms.ladysanders3939 hi there. Nope, not at all!! That’s why I Love this brand.👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
IF SHE SAY DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL AGAIN, I'M SKIPPING THE VIDEO. THREE TIMES ALREADY. WE GET IT!
You may be anemic from your pregnancy if you are short of breath like that . Pregnancy can induce anemia in some women . Get your ferritin levels checked and b12
So glad someone noticed that
I'm natural and silken pressed. I love it,I tried a protein conditioner and didn't know I was supposed to wash my hair again, then moisturize..
lesson learned lost a little got a good trim back on routine. My hair grows really fast, I was upset, but my then hair dresser only silk press and she doesn't do shampoo and conditioner. I'm going to do it myself for a little while,I really love how she silk press my hair. If I have to do the wash I'm just going to do it all myself, I'm not mad just getting older and a little lazy,lol!
So pretty, her hair looked healthy and full of bounce.
I love how you made her natural hair so beautiful.
Where can we get our hair done
Team Natural
She didn’t need a change at all nothing wrong with being natural I haven’t used any chemicals in my head in over 7 years
Exactly. She will regret
I’m natural and love the diversity. A silk press done properly can give a straighter look than a relax and lasts until the hair is washed.
Do you wear your hair in wigs, weaves, and braids with extensions half the year. If so, you are a hypocrite for telling a woman not to relax.
Relaxers have been shown to increase risk of cancer in women, especially those who relax their hair regularly. Black women, we need to do research about the products we put in and on our bodies.
Ppl know cigarettes cause cancer and cigarette companies make billions...black women know the risk now but it doesn't mean all black women should or would stop relaxing their hair.
Locs
I don’t know if this is complete ignorance, but I sometimes really wish I had Afro hair. It seems like you can do so much with it, the way you care for it, it’s so beautiful.
It is beautiful. I have more of 3b hair I think, so my curls are pretty loose but I wish it was straight only bc I gave 5 daughters and it’s hell keeping up with all these heads.
It’s not ignorant. Everyone wishes for something they don’t have. I want a thigh gap, it’ll never happen though.
I'm natural. 51. My hair changed drastically around age 30. I want to get relaxer again, but I'm concerned the rest will fall out, but my texture is so coarse, and the shrinkage is beastly, I can't do anything else with it, but wear wigs.
Locs
Twistouts or afro with cute headbands
Have you tried seeing a hair stylist who specializes in natural hair? They can help you with styling ideas!
It may be coarse because of buildup (this was my problem when i first went natural). Change your shampoo to a sulfate shampoo with strip all the dirt/oil...it will make the conditioner absorb much better, and your hair will soften a over time 😊. Hope this helps.
