I wish I could self-relax this clean. I have to go to the hair salon. Thank you for being so detailed in the video. Your hair came out so great. The shine and the silkiness, WOW!
I am so happy I found your channel!! I’m a hairstylist and I do my own relaxer. Almost two years ago I had a colleague perform my retouch and she overlapped my hair so badly! I’m growing it back now and I am always looking to learn!
Your hair is stunning. I never got the hang of doing my hair for myself and hats off to those that can. I'm a 67 black woman and have natural hair. My hair grows very slowly but it is not breaking off and I don't have split ends. I wear it very short because that's the only way to be with this hair. I'm using more moisturizing products to make it feel softer. My hair is the bane of my existence
I visit the salon to relax my hair. I have self-relaxed twice, I found it to be a nightmare, so I decided never to do it again. However, watching you do it so effortlessly is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
It really does takes practice to get it right when doing self relaxing. You tried twice then decided to go the salon I think you made the right choice. Maybe in the future if you are up to it you could try again but if not just keep going to the salon.
No more relaxers for me since 2011, because my edges were gone 😢 but since I have been natural and got my curl pattern back I have learned and appreciate it more now and my edges grew back too. I wish I knew back then what I know now but you do great videos 😁
Thank you for the informative video. Can you do ‘a week of your relaxed hair’ to show us how you manage your hair on a weekly basis. I want to relax my hair but I want to know how to take care of it
Your hair is looking quite marvelous ♥♥!! Great job with the relaxer. My hair is holding up well since I relaxed it last week. I plan to roller set a bit more this year.
I’m happy to see you’re back roller setting your hair. Maybe that’s what your hair need instead of the flat iron. I learned to roller set my hair watching your videos.. although I haven’t been able to roller set on every wash day but I hair dry. It’s been working well too. Your hair looks nice.
Thank you. My hair loves roller set for real😊flat ironing once a while my hair loves that but every week I don’t think my hair loved that. So it could be a factor. But for right now I am all for roller setting. I am happy you are roller setting your hair too. I have not air dried for some time now, but I didn’t have any issue when I did it. Thanks for watching I am glad that my videos are helping you on your healthy hair journey.
No I didn’t see it. Thank you I will make note and check it out too. Hopefully I can find it in my locality. I too found one I will be sharing it too soon. How does that protein make your hair feel?
Good bless you, I am so happy I found you in my life. I subscribed to your you tube channel and your Instagram account as well. Thank you for share all your knowledge, I will like to see a video on how can I trim my ends by myself, I want to keep my hair trim every 4 weeks.
U really want to know how my hair is doing? Everytime I comb my hair for the day I have a sink, counter , and floor full of hair😢. Way more than usual shedding. It’s a little past shoulder length and thinner than early last year. I use ORS relaxer. I may have over processed the length with the past few relaxers and now it’s breaking like crazy. I’ve been doing more deep conditioning. Any other suggestions?
I experience that 2 years ago. Is it shedding or breakage. If it is shedding that is from the inside so you would need to find out from your doctor as to what is happening and at the same time changing your diet could help. If it is breakage you would have to check to see what section of your hair is breaking. Is it breaking at the root or ends? Please reply and let me know which of the above you are experiencing.
@@kurlymeka Thanks for replying. It’s breaking at the ends and mid length. Long pieces and small pieces. I see pieces falling on my desk thru out the day at work.
Wow your hair is looking really great. I am trying to get my hair to grow back- shedding really bad. Since this month it has improved alot. Going to try your relaxer. Want to relax it but wondering if the shedding will start again.
I’ve been natural since 2020 when I cut off all my hair and I just relaxed my hair Saturday because I was so tired of the thick 4c hair combing it was painful. I love the relax hair now I just need some info on how to treat it so it can remain strong.
It is the products that I use on my relaxer day. After the roller set I use the ors hair polish for sheen. But my hair was feeling silky once the rollers were out.
@@swisdom9117 Girl I did it today! I was suuuuuuppppeeerrrr nervous 😬 My hands were shaking. The back was a little difficult and the plastic gloves that comes in box was messing up my hair so I took it off. I followed the steps in the video and maaaannn it turned out good 😊 Salon results at home by myself.
@@theonly_jannzz oh no you did it without gloves? :O be careful you damage your finders! I'm happy to hear it went well though! Did you use the pre-part twisting method (hairlicious) to get it done? What relaxer did you use and how long did you let it process? What plastic are you talking about? It'll get easier as you continue to do it, dw! My heart was literally in my throat when I relaxed my mom's hair for the first time but now I'm cool as ice when relaxer her's or my sister's hair. I can't wait to self relax my hair :p
I have used motions, crème of nature, optimum. But of the three I would recommend optimum because it doesn’t straighten your hair 100% so some curls remain which would give your hair bounce. Crème of nature and motions can be a little harsh on the scalp and might remove too much curls if you do not manage it properly. You can choose base on the above I hope that helps.
Sorry to hear that. It can be really disappointing when your hair is not looking and feeling the way it should. If you would like to book a consultation with me I would be more than happy to help you.
Why? I think people don’t get it. Here’s my two scent. Relaxers are not the only thing that could cause cancer furthermore the same ingredients that are used in relaxers are used in many other cosmetics such as lotions which are used by many daily. Relaxers are only used maybe 4 to 6 times per year. Which is more cancerous something that is used once a while are something we use everyday. The process food cause cancer, how many people have access to unprocessed food. Please be reminded that this is a marketing strategy to prevent people from going back to relaxers. Because if that was to happened a lot of company that switched to making natural hair products solely would lose millions. A key thing to note too is that a lot of these so called natural hair products are filled with the same ingredients found in relaxers. Did you know that that some of the ingredients found relaxers are in our food too. Do your research please you will be amazed. All the best now
@@kurlymeka there's a reason why Black women have more cancers -- one of the primary readons, relaxers. Let's not fool ourselves. It's like saying cigarettes aren't the only onlyt cause of cancer. We know that, but it damn sure increases the odds of getting it, just as relaxers do And you need to stop with this ridiculous propaganda about some marketing strategy. Here in the US a class action lawsuit is underway. BTW, what carcinogens/harmful by-products are in cocoa butter, olive oil, shea butter, etc.??? Do you, but stop lying to justify your use of relaxers.
@@kurlymeka Of course relaxers aren't the only things that cause cancer, but why increase your odds of developing it by using relaxers. Just as smoking increases ones chances of developing cancer, so does relaxing one's hair. Those are just facts, and deleting my comments won't change those facts. Your promoting relaxing one's hair to other women, (particularly Black women), when you know the possible harm, is unforgivable. Why not state the facts to your viewers -- I'm 100% certain they don't all know about the possible danger. Why not seek out less harmful ways to straighten/style your hair??? If you did that, you'd attract more viewers because women are looking for alternatives, but to support the use of relaxers when you know their harm is just wrong.
This was the nearest at home relaxer application I’ve seen on RUclips
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST AND THOROUGHLY EXPLAINED REALAXER VIDEO I HAVE SEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME. ❤❤❤
Awe thank you glad you enjoyed it
Years ago a stylist left me with bald spots in my hair, so i started doing my hair at home lol.
Thank you for being a new subscriber on my channel and I look forward to your videos
I wish I could self-relax this clean. I have to go to the hair salon. Thank you for being so detailed in the video. Your hair came out so great. The shine and the silkiness, WOW!
I use to say that until I tried, but if you don’t feel up to it going to the salon is a better option.
You can try the hairlicious relaxer method. I'm gonna relax my hair myself the next time and I'll see how it goes
So glad I find your channel especially using the Revlon relaxer s alp shield .
I am so happy I found your channel!!
I’m a hairstylist and I do my own relaxer. Almost two years ago I had a colleague perform my retouch and she overlapped my hair so badly! I’m growing it back now and I am always looking to learn!

Been waiting for a video from you again!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Hello. I love your videos. Where can I find the normalizing rinse, or what can I use in replace of that. I can’t seem to find it.

Use derma roller i heard its good
Great tutorial, amazing result 👍🏽
Great job! I wish i could do what you do as well as you do it.
I have been doing my hair many years now so it’s practice practice. You can if you have the will power. If not that’s ok too😊
@kurlymeka you're so encouraging which is awesome and humbling
Hi Meka I'm revisiting this video..how long did the whole touchup process take to apply and smooth?
Meka the hair is fabulous,but i still think you put more than the foam to haveit shiny😮
Thank you for the informative video. Can you do ‘a week of your relaxed hair’ to show us how you manage your hair on a weekly basis. I want to relax my hair but I want to know how to take care of it
You are welcome. That’s an awesome suggestion I will do that. 😊

What is the best time to have short is it after relaxing or I do before relaxing the hair
Your hair is looking quite marvelous ♥♥!! Great job with the relaxer. My hair is holding up well since I relaxed it last week. I plan to roller set a bit more this year.
I plan to continue roller setting this year too so we are on the same page with that. Glad that your hair is doing well keep it up😊

Awesome, you are in the right place.

Great job 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thank you
I do mine at home thankyou and godbless.
Awesome😊
Pretty! How long did you have to sit under the dryer?
One hour
Your hair looks great. Do you use a semi permanent color on your hair?
I have not use a semi permanent color for the past 8 months. So at this time no I have not. 😊
3:24 salon atm but I'm planning to try doing a self relax next time
Did you try it?

Do you use professional double mirror when applying relaxer or just 360 mirror or just a normal ? Because i cant get to the back of my hair
I only use mirror at the front. If you can't get to the back then using a mirror at the back would help.
Thanks so much i do enjoy watching your videos plus i relaxed my hair last year august after watching your videos
I wish you were in Trinidad to so my hair.
Me too 😊
Did you roller set with heat?
I dried my hair under a dryer
Can you recommend another relaxer that is great if the two mentioned is not available in the beauty store.
I have used motions, crème of nature, optimum. But of the three I would recommend optimum because it doesn’t straighten your hair 100% so some curls remain which would give your hair bounce. Crème of nature and motions can be a little harsh on the scalp and might remove too much curls if you do not manage it properly. You can choose base on the above I hope that helps.

How many weeks before u relax ur hair
Between 8 and 10 weeks😊
Why did you cut your hair it was beautiful long
It needed it
❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You must have a mirror posted behind you or something so that you're able see what you're doing OR you're just going on instincts!
I have been doing my own relaxer for many years now so I guess it comes with practice. No mirror for the back.
The Salon...what you are doing needs to be the standard
theres barely any growth girl, what are you relaxing ? give it one more month for a good growth
I can't believe anyone would continue to use relaxers knowing what we know. 😢
