I remember in beauty school doing one of my practical exams on a Japanese woman for a PF, her hair took so long to lift. It was insane. I was on crunch time, I convinced her to lift to an orange and I gave her some nice chocolate copper lowlights lol but Japanese people have strong ass hair.
Yeah it's the strongest hair so obviously any straightener from there is probably too strong for many other people. I remember from highschool that the asian straight hair is very round, while curly hair is kind of flat with scutes sticking out. Mine will cling together like velcro without product, I can never use heat as my hair turns top straw even just from a blowdryer.
@Flower7 Oh no, round is the most perfect state of the hair. Though straight hair can be weak from damage and from being thin. You can have thick curly hair too but nothing is as strong as thick asian straight hair. It's what most natural extensions are made from too.
I'm not in school to be a hairstylist. I just like watching these videos because they're relaxing to watch. Oh and I love her sarcasm and subtle shade to other stylists. I love it!!!
I am a former hairstylist and could read right through all that. Who needs sarcasm. PROTECT YOUR HAIR YOUR HEART AND BE EXTRA CAREFUL WHO PUTS THEIR ENERGY IN YOUR HEAD. THAT SARCASM WAS ENOUGH TO BREAK YOUR HAIR OFF. WHAT YOU SLEEP ON LIKE COTTON DRIES YOUR HAIR AND BREAKS IT...STRESS ALONE. PREGNANCY AND THE BEAT GOES ON. SHAME SHAME SHAME
I'm a stylist also 15 years and all I kept saying was AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! I love that you did this live so people can understand the why's we do what we can/need to do to save the integrity of the hair!
I had a Japanese straightener done years ago, my hair fell out. Never again. Now I’m natural with nice length. Natural requires a lot of work too, but totally worth it!
I should probably be grateful that my hairdresser in Japan decided to do a much gentler straightening treatment for me. I have fine 2b/2c hair. I guess this would be the equivalent to the mild relaxer this lovely lady uses.
I’m glad I’ve learned to take care of my natural low porosity hair. With the right moisture and repair products and most limited amount of manipulation, it is actively growing.
@@giftofleadership to each their own. Relaxer is not for me, my hair never grew past chin length, now is back length as a natural. We all have to do what works for us. ❤️
And for you that's wonderful. Yeah and other women who decide to do whatever that's their CHOICE. I wear mines mostly braided started during college and lasted all 27 years during the military. MY CHOICE. Choices being the word here.
I would absolutely love to be one of her clients cause she be having me realize I don’t do my hair properly, she actually cares about your hair health and goals 💛.
I wish Crystal went into more detail about why the Japanese straightening treatment was worse for the client’s hair other than “its not made for us”. The damage on the first client looks no different than the typical damage you would see on anyone who is transitioning from a relaxer and trying to manage two completely different textures on one head. Honestly, I was impressed with how little damage there was given just how long her natural hair was. She was transitioning for a whole year, so the fact that all of that old straitened hair hasn’t all snapped off is way more impressive to me. Especially juxtaposed to the second client whose hair was fully relaxed and there were clearly chunks of uneven hair INCHES shorter than the rest. (This is in no way meant to shame client 2 in anyway! It’s not my place to judge any woman on the way she takes care of her hair. I don’t know her life and what she’s going through on a daily basis.) I’m only concerned from an educational perspective to learn why Crystal emphasized so much against the Japanese treatment, but had no problem doing a relaxer on hair that was so much more damaged. What is it specifically about the Japanese straightener versus any other straightener, and particularly why is a relaxer okay? I just don’t see how you can boil it down to “its not made for us” then go on to use a product that WAS made for us, but is clearly doing just as much (arguably even more) damage to that specific client’s hair. At the end of the day, all human hair on a molecular level is made out of the same keratin and disulfide bonds, the only difference is structural. All of these chemical straighteners and perms do the same thing. They break down the chemicals bonds of the hair shaft, the stylist then shapes the hair into whatever shape you desire, and then the chemicals reform the bonds again. There are many videos of black girls living in Japan getting these done, and making it work long term because that is all they have access to, so to attribute the issues the first client had to the fact that the treatment “wasn’t made for us” when there are a number of factors that could have contributed to damage she experienced feels irresponsible. It’s not just that “Japanese hair is more course than our hair”. I pray that you all know better than to generalize and entire population of people into one stereotype. These treatments were literally made for Japanese people with finer, curlier type 3 hair to get the straight look. It’s one thing to encourage the use of black-owned products and businesses to support the success of the community (we can all get behind that), but its a whole nother thing to say was can’t use certain products because “they weren’t made for us” with no explanation as to why that maybe the case. Its language like this that made me and the other little girls around me growing up think that we would never be able to have long healthy hair because we couldn’t afford the products that “were made for us”. Language like this limits our options as black women, and it doesn’t just stop at hair, but I’m not gonna get into that; this comment is already way too long. At the end of the day, whether you’re relaxed or natural, whether you’re using Suave, TGIN, or you’re buying products from the Asian market down the street because thats all you have access to, our hair is stronger than you think, and I guarantee, as long as you keep your hair moisturized, you are gentle with it, you manipulate it as little as possible, and you protect it while you sleep, you can make any product work.
You said what you said! I say all of the time on my channel... "Black" women will have a much easier time with hair care as soon as they stop subscribing to the myth of black hair.
I agree 100%!! I stopped getting relaxers when the pandemic hit in 2020...all the shops were closed so I made my decision to transition back to natural. I have been keeping my hair braided for about almost 3 years now and it's thriving!! Just leaving it alone works!
@@leratosss Once a chemical or high heat is applied to your strands, it breaks down keratin. Your hair is no longer healthy no matter how it looks visually. Yes, you have to take care of your hair for it to remain at its best state.. but dye, bleach, relaxers, too many unnatural products, and high manipulation will destroy your locks and prevent it from retaining its length. The majority of the time, the ends are sparse due to breakage.
I try to tell people that. You think they would listen to whatever I say since I so called "have thr longest hair they've seen on a black girl", but no. I do understand heredity plays a big part but I do believe leaving your hair alone works universally.
I’ve been natural for about 10 years. But when I was relaxed Affirm was my all time favorite relaxer. At least it did very well on my hair texture. Great job.❤
Been getting it for 18 years and once every 6 months. Also, I never had an issue! I think it’s also the texture of her hair as mentioned in the video. Mine is coarse but doesn’t seem to mind the Japanese straightening.
Olaplex stops bonds breaking and re-builds broken bonds on hair thats damaged from chemicals, bleach, colours and heat etc.. The No.3 home treatment is amazing, and I use it (no.1& 2) in my bleach when lightening hair to reduce damage. Its great stuff.
Since you like No. 3, you’ll love No. 0. Add it on top of 3 after 5-10 min and leave on an additional 5-10 minutes before shampooing. Recommend it to your clients.
My stylist used the Olaplex system and it damaged my hair. There is a whole Facebook and Instagram group about the damage Olaplex products does to hair.
@@msj793 Really? I have never heard anybody say Olaplex damaged their hair. I have heard people question if its doing anything but damage never, im surprised. il look it up.
@@msj793 I can’t explain why Olaplex products damage the hair of some women and work miracles for others. So don’t use this line. Another product line that also works great for me is K18. Would you be willing to look into it and perhaps give it a try? If I recall the maker offers a small travel size you could buy.
This lady is amazing, her hands are a gift, she is so knowledgeable and the best thing, she tells it as it is, tells if something is not good and says I don't know if she doesn't, no messing around, watching her do hair is so relaxing, the only problem I have is trying to stay awake as it's so soothing and mesmerising to watch! Lovely lady.
I wish you were my cos teacher back in the day. I've been around relaxers all my life and never have I ever thought to condition after rinsing but before neutralizing! It makes sooo much sense!! Break down the cuticle and bonds. Moisture Literally gets consumed by the stands. Shampoo closes the bonds and locks the moisture in hair. Ma'am that's genius!!!
Bravo. You are an excellent instructor. I'm a retired hair stylist of 24 years. I was also a Master Artistic Educator for Matrix and Lotel for 16 years. You are amazing.
My last relaxer was last June of '22. I do not see myself relaxing again, but I am not chopping, either. I'm just letting it be. If I were to relax, it be one more time and that be that. I am nowhere near tired of straight hair, but would one day love to learn how to get the curls that the Mowry Twins have when they have their natural corkscrew curls, and do it on myself without the flat iron, but have proper air drying technique.
Many people stop using relaxers because they want “healthier hair” when a bigger concern is the harsh chemicals and the health issues that have been linked to relaxers.
You are the blessing we needed on you tube!! ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰… it’s sad that every stylist isn’t like you! You can tell they’re in it for the money and not true hair maintenance! May your journey on here and in your life as a beautician stay blessed! 🤩🤩🤩
I have watched you the last month or so and I think you are an amazing Stylist as well as CEO. You really care about your clients hair and them personally. That is so wonderful. You are a joy to watch. Thank you.
CRYSTAL IS SO KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF THE HAIR ITSELF AND I LOVE THAT ABOUT HER!! ALSO SHE IS A FABULOUS HAIR MAGICIAN!! LOL😁 SHE'S A MAGICAN WITH HAIR NOT JUST A STYLIST!!!!!
Cushioned vs nappy is a better term to use so that clients aren’t offended by the term nappy hair. Also I’ve found that applying the relaxer to the by not allowing it to touch the scalp especially in the more cushioned hair; alleviates the burning sensation. The results are undeniable when it come to the relaxer effectively straightening the hair.
I just happened to stumble upon your channel. I am thoroughly impressed and entertained by your knowledge and your explanations! I am not in beauty school or a hairstylist...no way near...but I'll be watching!
Thanks for all the info you make washing the hair so relaxing .my hair is natural grey I braid my hair not often Jam 77yrs old after braiding I find much of my hair comes out.I gave you a thumbs up for your info❤
I'm new here and I absolutely love how you respond. "How can I get my hair to do XYZ" You: You can't 🤣🤣. I really appreciate your honesty. Soon as I figure out my porosity I'm gonna ask what would help my hair grow. I'm natural. My texture is fine and my hair seems to have stopped growing. Like it always get just passed the shoulders and stops.
I like what you said about the young lady being in school and her mom dedicated time to make sure her hair is done she ain't got no test that day she can go in and get her hair done it does build confidence and we need that a lot of black women need to understand that we need to keep up our appearance and our princesses. Make them feel and look beautiful at all times! You good
From one hair dresser to a another I’m very impressed with your knowledge and the way you make the hair do want you need it to do and not the other way around. Thank you for letting us in.
5 minutes fast and accurate with the relaxer. I really appreciate your teaching ways and how you help the hair care community. You’re Amazing..Thank You!!!
Hi I have just seen one of your hair services to a lot of hair for one person lol I am amazed at how well the lady’s hair looks and I just wanted to say thank you for the expert way you operate . Even though I am a 70 year old white woman I too have spent years on having my hair dyed and processed and would have loved to be one of your clients, however i live far away in Scotland but I have so enjoyed the positive experience of watching a professional at work. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. 🦋😊👍
I just got a new wig in that same style as the first girl. It’s much shorter and I absolutely love it because it’s just the right amount of hair, the perfect color blend and it’s my first time wearing a glueless lace wig with bangs. I learn a whole lot of information from Crystal.
These older videos of yours have been popping up so i subscribed. Youre fantastic. You can see youre good. I went half way through cosmetology school years ago. My family has a lot of stylists in it. I regret not finishing sometimes but it still interests me. Great videos!
I have straight hair. I love the idea of putting the conditioner on towel dry hair. Thank you it is an amazing way. My hair is so much healthier. Thanks again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've specialized in Japanese Thermal Reconditioning, and have used Liscio for over 20 years. If the hair is overprocessed it will break off . If, done correctly, & cuticle is NOT shattered, it can be done on African American hair.
Speaking truth. I am African American and have the liscio system in my hair. My hair is stronger and down my back. My stylist is wonderful and learned how to do this system on Black hair. He’s not black but Japanese and took the time to get trained properly.
I'm east asian and I clicked this not knowing what to expect but after reading some well informed comments, I need to get myself some products from japan or korea because nothing really makes my hair move the way I need it to! thank you guys.
I love how educational you are about hair and I'm a stylist too and I tell you it's very frustrating when you have to keep telling your client to lift your head up it's not good for out ergonomics meaning it's not good for our posture,back or whatever else on our body......
The lady was lucky to find someone who knew how to deal with her problem. You sure have beautiful and graceful hands Crystal. Boy this lady has a high tolerance for pain. What would it cost to spend this much time with her $150-$200? Her hair looks so beautiful you did a great job!
Tell them like it is 😅!, each one must Teach one🎉 Listening and learning is always a good thing!! I’m glad they are giving you the right answers yes !, I Enjoy the way you teach them ,
Not a hair girl.... Childhood. So i don't like people in my hair. But youuuuu, I have to get to you. I'll come twice a year. Your knowledge has won me over. Blessed hands!❤❤❤
Japanese relaxers are better than a regular relaxer because of the chemical base. It's all about the after care. It's the same base as the Jerry curl back in the day that grew the hair like crazy.
@@gogoldiego My lovely late bonus used to use Geri Curls well before getting into my late daddy's life. At some point, I'll say mid '10s, and my bonus sis-in-law did her hair, and not only got the Geri Curls out, but went from shoulder length to Bob length or touch shorter. Since then, just wore natural hair, straighten it but bumped the ends. Edit: Jeri and not Geri.
I remember my daughter got some type of straightening system. It looked good in the beginning, but eventually her hair was falling out everywhere. Had to keep cutting it until it was gone
First time and I love it. Have learned a lot. My granddaughter will be going to cosmetology school when she graduates next year. I usually send these videos to her.
I have a Japanese hair straightening system. My stylist is Japanese and learned how to do this system on black women’s hair. I’m black fyi… I love it. He doesn’t put a lot of heat in my hair. And my hair isn’t processed fully. He tested my hair before applying my first treatment and wrote down specific instructions on how to do my hair. My treatment is tailored to my hair. I love my stylist and my hair is now down my back. I put heat on my hair maybe three times a year at 160 degrees and one pass. during the treatment he straightens my hair at 130 degrees and one pass.
Elite hair care USA thank you for all of your very useful advise you give to the listeners, I appreciate it very much, I love watching your videos as I get so much advise to what I need to or not to do with my hair. Thank you Tricia from Adelaide Australia ❤❤❤❤
I’m a stylist and I do Japanese thermal reconditioning every single day. That is all I do . If it is done properly it’s an amazing process and hair is often healthier if retouches are done in timely manner and client properly takes care of hair. I have clients that couldn’t get hair past their shoulders and now have waist length hair. BUT…. You are absolutely correct this hair type is not ideal for this process. I discourage all clients that come to me with this hair type from doing Japanese for this reason . It will break eventually, curl is strong , hair is weak and the two textures tangle . There are new options on the market that are also permanent but much more gentle .
Well said Summer. Every product is not made for everyone. But like you said, if you are serviced by a licensed skilled professional, and practice proper home maintenance your hair will flourish… Continued success with your career…😊
I've been using Liscio for 22 years. It's designed to be inner mixed according to the hair texture/porosity. For Adrican American clients I highly recommend the aftercare & 4 month retouches. Milbon is an AMAZING company , and I have used other brands..just found that liscio was more flexible and predictable.
JHS treatment is an amazing process for everyone but only if you maintain it with proper home care and getting touch ups when needed. I have afro hair , and i’ve had this treatment done for the past 2 and half years. For the past 10 years i haven’t been able to grow my hair past my shoulders up until getting the japanese hair straightening. Now my hair is half way down my back !! The only time i experienced breakage was when i waited to long to get a touch up. The difference in textures with your new growth and previously treated hair causes to much friction and cause the hair to snap !
@@lauramccullough9769 I use liscio as well, I do 4-6 thermals a week . It’s a wonderful product. Where are you located ? I’m always looking for hair straightening experts to refer clients to across the country.
Viewing a lot of the videos on various channels, I never knew so many black women had such beautiful, thick, long hair. Just looking as I walk in stores, restaurants and other places, all I would see was lace front wigs with the fake part, extensions or very short hair. It is so refreshing to see sisters with this gorgeous hair growing out of the scalp.
You did a beautiful style on the very young lady's hair. You are a super fast relaxer! My goodness. I love your techniques. That Dyson hair dryer is worth having ar home.
FYI- when trying to clear the shampoo(or any type of soap)bubbles down the drain, use cold water. It dissipates the soap bubbles faster and you use WAY LESS water💦 This tip is for clearing the bubbles down drain only not the head (technically you could but it’s not terribly comfortable 😱) I live in California where the water rates are high and they like to ration our usage😅I hope you find this info helpful😊👍🏼
I am a knowledgeable Licensed Barber Stylist. I think you do good work. A curly perm is what they called jeri curls. So your right about that. That japanese perm reminds me of a Perm that targeted out to the black community it was called RIO. Once you have had a Rio Perm you couldn't put a relaxer back in the hair or your hair would fall out. Knowledge is power
I tried telling some of my relatives who went natural(I chose to keep using a "mild" relaxer) about what you said about how some of these straightening methods damage hair OVER TIME..but they'd rather focus on the fact that I STILL get my hair relaxed!
I still occasionally get mild relaxers too. I just hate telling people because now that everyone is so #teamNatural they act like getting a relaxer is commiting a crime or something. 😩
@@preciousjohnson8088 I'm natural and prefer it but I never had any problems with my relaxers. We all need to do what works for us with our hair. TeamNatural does need to calm it down.
@@preciousjohnson8088 Committing a crime! I'm so very sorry, but 😂😂😂😂😂 I guess I am guilty for not being opposed to people relaxing even as I am choosing to a very strong chance of me not relaxing anymore. But no plans to big chop. I am now 8 months post relaxed.
Love the fact you clarify the difference between a relaxer and a perm. When I started to introduce myself to black people hair I cuestioned that same, because I come from a place where women get perm and that's a very different procedure. Also, because here people naturally don't have that type of curl that often, there fore, people go to get a curly perm treatment to change their waves or lines.
Relaxers straighten the hair and perms add curls/waves. Though some still consider getting a perm, as straighten the hair. It's all good. Depending on the coarseness of the hair and the strength of the curl, perm solution can be used to straighten hair but is not as strong as other chemical relaxers.
@@ToniaAlex13 You still didn't look up what a hypocrite is. Stop talking others reading this will see what a fool you are. Seriously now your just an uneducated fool.
I have had a bad straightener before and had to go to the salon and cut off the bad parts every two weeks. After all the bad parts were cut I got a relaxer and have been relaxed for twenty years. My hair is still thick and healthy. I go to the salon and either get Affirm or Mizanni. Straighten out natural hair every week is bad. My mom only straighten our natural hair every three weeks when we were younger.
Something I notice while watching your videos . Be sure to get the right side of the hair ie. side burns especially when and where there is hair. Side bar I love the education that you are giving about hair care. So I for informative.
I'm a licensed Cosmetologist myself and you can't tell "US" certain things aren't for our hair. So many at home uneducated ppl doing hair at home off RUclips feel they don't need an actual license Cosmetologist until it's too late. Thank you so much for saying that certain products were not designed for curly/ kinky hair. 😫
yall act like hair salon dont also be burning the crap out of our hair too haha just cause yall do it professionally does not mean our curls are safe, either waiy straightning hair will f our curls up.
@@YVhere No if you put in a leaving in conditioner with a heat protectant and only have the style in for max two weeks. Your curls will revert back and be healthy. I t's when you leave a silk press/ flat iron in for more than two weeks your hair will start breaking because of the lack of moisture. Not only that but some women be flat ironing every few months which can lead to breakage, split ends etc..
Curly hair is *exactly* what Japanese straightening is for, though. It's not very common, but there are Japanese people with curly hair. Because it's not the norm, they may have difficulty figuring out how to care for their hair or honestly just prefer to make it straight bc they like it. Koreans do it too and I believe they use the same chemicals/process as the Japanese straightening.
@@butteredtoast12 Asian hair cuticles are genetically stronger than African hair. Straightening methods might look good at first, but over time it *will* break your hair off
I wish you were in the Caribbean, i have natural hair most of my life twice i straighten it when i was getting married at 22, and some years later then i cut off the straighten parts since then its natural. But the way you was and treat hair i wish you could get you hsnds on my hair. You do wonderful work my dear.
I love how well educated you are in hair care. I don't see to many hair stylist that is knowledgeable. They just do hair. You are a lady with ambition and drive to be successful. Q&A: I am a lady that is starting to go into menopause and take certain kinds of medications. I have been noticing that my hair has been hard and dry but yet thinning out in some areas. I know that menopause can put a stress on a person but do you recommend any OTC products that can help me bring back some lust and shine to my hair? Thank you very much. It will be greatly appreciated.
She's said in the past that she's not a doctor or pharmacist so she won't give out medical advice. She's says she's knowledgeable about hair, but not medicine and doesn't want to recommend something that she doesn't understand that well. I hope you find some things that work for you.
I take 2 medications...I wait 2 hours or so after taking the medication to take my vitamins and minerals(magnesium,Nutrafol, B-complex,liquid B-12,vitamin D)I started using henna and indigo (Hennasooq brand)instead of color since I still relax my hair,(you know,pick a chemical) I chose to stay "mildly" relaxed and I also use ayurvedic powders (amla,fenugreek,aloe vera) to name a few.. using henna/indigo is a long process though but worth it to me and I have seen significant progress in the health of my hair...the beautician noticed how thick my hair is and how she's sees some length! She's been taking pictures of my hair...
I have been natural for 60 of my 68 years I have no regrets!
I remember in beauty school doing one of my practical exams on a Japanese woman for a PF, her hair took so long to lift. It was insane. I was on crunch time, I convinced her to lift to an orange and I gave her some nice chocolate copper lowlights lol but Japanese people have strong ass hair.

At the end of the day, whether you’re relaxed or natural, whether you’re using Suave, TGIN, or you’re buying products from the Asian market down the street because thats all you have access to, our hair is stronger than you think, and I guarantee, as long as you keep your hair moisturized, you are gentle with it, you manipulate it as little as possible, and you protect it while you sleep, you can make any product work.
Totally agree. Perfectly said 🙌
You are so correct! Thank you so much for this wonderfully thorough and logical critique.
You said what you said! I say all of the time on my channel... "Black" women will have a much easier time with hair care as soon as they stop subscribing to the myth of black hair.
This is such a good comment!
VERY well said.
The key to having beautiful hair is leaving it alone.
I agree 100%!! I stopped getting relaxers when the pandemic hit in 2020...all the shops were closed so I made my decision to transition back to natural. I have been keeping my hair braided for about almost 3 years now and it's thriving!! Just leaving it alone works!
Actually the key to having beautiful hair is taking care of it, whether relaxed or natural. I’ve been both
@@ursalawooley9334 Amen!
@@leratosss Once a chemical or high heat is applied to your strands, it breaks down keratin. Your hair is no longer healthy no matter how it looks visually. Yes, you have to take care of your hair for it to remain at its best state.. but dye, bleach, relaxers, too many unnatural products, and high manipulation will destroy your locks and prevent it from retaining its length. The majority of the time, the ends are sparse due to breakage.
I try to tell people that. You think they would listen to whatever I say since I so called "have thr longest hair they've seen on a black girl", but no. I do understand heredity plays a big part but I do believe leaving your hair alone works universally.
I’ve been natural for about 10 years. But when I was relaxed Affirm was my all time favorite relaxer. At least it did very well on my hair texture. Great job.❤
I like how honest you are! You are a straight shooter when you give advice/information! No sugar coating/no bs! Just straight to the point! Love it!❤
I get a Japanese straightener once a year. Love it. Been getting it for 8 years. No problems. Think a lot has to do with Stylist.
Agreed
You’re literally a white man
So true. Japanese relaxers are great. Like anything you have to take care of your hair in between services.
Been getting it for 18 years and once every 6 months. Also, I never had an issue!
I think it’s also the texture of her hair as mentioned in the video. Mine is coarse but doesn’t seem to mind the Japanese straightening.
Not the same hair ok
Olaplex stops bonds breaking and re-builds broken bonds on hair thats damaged from chemicals, bleach, colours and heat etc.. The No.3 home treatment is amazing, and I use it (no.1& 2) in my bleach when lightening hair to reduce damage. Its great stuff.
Since you like No. 3, you’ll love No. 0. Add it on top of 3 after 5-10 min and leave on an additional 5-10 minutes before shampooing. Recommend it to your clients.
@@laurelharper1109 Yes thank you its great stuff.
My stylist used the Olaplex system and it damaged my hair. There is a whole Facebook and Instagram group about the damage Olaplex products does to hair.
@@msj793 Really? I have never heard anybody say Olaplex damaged their hair. I have heard people question if its doing anything but damage never, im surprised. il look it up.
@@msj793 I can’t explain why Olaplex products damage the hair of some women and work miracles for others. So don’t use this line. Another product line that also works great for me is K18. Would you be willing to look into it and perhaps give it a try? If I recall the maker offers a small travel size you could buy.
Been Natural Since end of 2020 and hair has thrived much more than what relaxing could ever do .
Thank you Crystal for the educational hair videos ❤
I love that you educate while you’re working on her hair.
She still had so much hair even after the cut. It was damaged but I was surprised how ok it looked after the initial blow dry. Happy for her!
This lady is amazing, her hands are a gift, she is so knowledgeable and the best thing, she tells it as it is, tells if something is not good and says I don't know if she doesn't, no messing around, watching her do hair is so relaxing, the only problem I have is trying to stay awake as it's so soothing and mesmerising to watch! Lovely lady.
I wish you were my cos teacher back in the day. I've been around relaxers all my life and never have I ever thought to condition after rinsing but before neutralizing! It makes sooo much sense!! Break down the cuticle and bonds. Moisture Literally gets consumed by the stands. Shampoo closes the bonds and locks the moisture in hair. Ma'am that's genius!!!
Crystal that shampoo you're doing looks awesome! I wish I could get someone, anyone, to wash my hair like that!!!!
Bravo. You are an excellent instructor. I'm a retired hair stylist of 24 years. I was also a Master Artistic Educator for Matrix and Lotel for 16 years. You are amazing.
She looks so Pretty!! Her Hair is just so Lovely!! Georgeous!!! GREAT JOB CRYSTAL!!!
I got my last relaxer March 2008. I was done. It was a rough transition but I hung in there. Love ya - Vegan Vanessa
My last relaxer was last June of '22. I do not see myself relaxing again, but I am not chopping, either. I'm just letting it be.
If I were to relax, it be one more time and that be that.
I am nowhere near tired of straight hair, but would one day love to learn how to get the curls that the Mowry Twins have when they have their natural corkscrew curls, and do it on myself without the flat iron, but have proper air drying technique.
Wow Crystal absolutely beautiful and so professional thank you for sharing 😮
Many people stop using relaxers because they want “healthier hair” when a bigger concern is the harsh chemicals and the health issues that have been linked to relaxers.
Very good treatment clean powerful clean wash😊
You are the blessing we needed on you tube!! ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰… it’s sad that every stylist isn’t like you! You can tell they’re in it for the money and not true hair maintenance! May your journey on here and in your life as a beautician stay blessed! 🤩🤩🤩
I have watched you the last month or so and I think you are an amazing Stylist as well as CEO. You really care about your clients hair and them personally. That is so wonderful. You are a joy to watch. Thank you.
I was natural for 6 years, and I just got my perm back and I am so happy!!😊😊
Me too 😂
😁😂I haven't yet but I'm sure thinking about it and I've been thinking about it for a long time I'm with you cuz this sis tired😫
Make sure you keep your reproductive health in check. Uterine fibroids are hell and can steal your fertility.
CRYSTAL IS SO KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF THE HAIR ITSELF AND I LOVE THAT ABOUT HER!! ALSO SHE IS A FABULOUS HAIR MAGICIAN!! LOL😁 SHE'S A MAGICAN WITH HAIR NOT JUST A STYLIST!!!!!
Her natural hair is growing beautifully...
You are an awesome hair stylist. I love all the explanations and how beautiful everyone’s hair comes out!
Cushioned vs nappy is a better term to use so that clients aren’t offended by the term nappy hair. Also I’ve found that applying the relaxer to the by not allowing it to touch the scalp especially in the more cushioned hair; alleviates the burning sensation. The results are undeniable when it come to the relaxer effectively straightening the hair.
Yes, if that were applied to my scalp I would be on fire.
Nappy does have a negative connotation.
I'm from the '70s, so I know those times when nappy was much more commonly used.
Watching you work is so relaxing and therapeutic. Love you Girl!
I just happened to stumble upon your channel. I am thoroughly impressed and entertained by your knowledge and your explanations! I am not in beauty school or a hairstylist...no way near...but I'll be watching!
Thanks for all the info you make washing the hair so relaxing .my hair is natural grey I braid my hair not often Jam 77yrs old after braiding I find much of my hair comes out.I gave you a thumbs up for your info❤
I'm new here and I absolutely love how you respond. "How can I get my hair to do XYZ" You: You can't 🤣🤣. I really appreciate your honesty. Soon as I figure out my porosity I'm gonna ask what would help my hair grow. I'm natural. My texture is fine and my hair seems to have stopped growing. Like it always get just passed the shoulders and stops.
You’re very Professional and knows how to interact with your clients I give U 💯 percent full mark 👏🏽👏🏽
I like what you said about the young lady being in school and her mom dedicated time to make sure her hair is done she ain't got no test that day she can go in and get her hair done it does build confidence and we need that a lot of black women need to understand that we need to keep up our appearance and our princesses. Make them feel and look beautiful at all times! You good
From one hair dresser to a another I’m very impressed with your knowledge and the way you make the hair do want you need it to do and not the other way around. Thank you for letting us in.
5 minutes fast and accurate with the relaxer. I really appreciate your teaching ways and how you help the hair care community. You’re Amazing..Thank You!!!
Yesss her hair is very long and beautiful 😍
Gorgeous
Hi I have just seen one of your hair services to a lot of hair for one person lol I am amazed at how well the lady’s hair looks and I just wanted to say thank you for the expert way you operate . Even though I am a 70 year old white woman I too have spent years on having my hair dyed and processed and would have loved to be one of your clients, however i live far away in Scotland but I have so enjoyed the positive experience of watching a professional at work. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. 🦋😊👍
You are amazing. I love how you transform people's hair and at the same time you transform theirs lives.
I really enjoyed this former energy in your videos. You seemed genuinely kind and informative.
You’re a fantastic hairdresser & stylist.
Absolutely beautiful not a lot of cutting the hair looks very healthy
“For those of you who like to keep conditioner on all day and you think that’s gonna change your life- ITS NOT!”🤣🤣
Lmao all it does is make your hair more manageable sometimes 😂😂🤷🏾♀️
I just got a new wig in that same style as the first girl. It’s much shorter and I absolutely love it because it’s just the right amount of hair, the perfect color blend and it’s my first time wearing a glueless lace wig with bangs. I learn a whole lot of information from Crystal.
I enjoy your teaching as you do hair
These older videos of yours have been popping up so i subscribed. Youre fantastic. You can see youre good. I went half way through cosmetology school years ago. My family has a lot of stylists in it. I regret not finishing sometimes but it still interests me. Great videos!
I Never Heard Of A Japanese Straightener Until I Seen This Video. Thank You.
I have straight hair. I love the idea of putting the conditioner on towel dry hair. Thank you it is an amazing way. My hair is so much healthier. Thanks again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've specialized in Japanese Thermal Reconditioning, and have used Liscio for over 20 years. If the hair is overprocessed it will break off . If, done correctly, & cuticle is NOT shattered, it can be done on African American hair.
Speaking truth. I am African American and have the liscio system in my hair. My hair is stronger and down my back. My stylist is wonderful and learned how to do this system on Black hair. He’s not black but Japanese and took the time to get trained properly.
@@AshleePaige365 where do you live? It's hard to find someone who truly specializes in this process..

I'm east asian and I clicked this not knowing what to expect but after reading some well informed comments, I need to get myself some products from japan or korea because nothing really makes my hair move the way I need it to! thank you guys.
Love this lady ….she is so informed! I admire her Knowledgeable personality ❤
I love how educational you are about hair and I'm a stylist too and I tell you it's very frustrating when you have to keep telling your client to lift your head up it's not good for out ergonomics meaning it's not good for our posture,back or whatever else on our body......
The lady was lucky to find someone who knew how to deal with her problem. You sure have beautiful and graceful hands Crystal. Boy this lady has a high tolerance for pain. What would it cost to spend this much time with her $150-$200? Her hair looks so beautiful you did a great job!
Tell them like it is 😅!, each one must Teach one🎉 Listening and learning is always a good thing!! I’m glad they are giving you the right answers yes !, I Enjoy the way you teach them ,
the hair came out so beautifully. Love you tips and teachings.
Oh her hair looked so good b4 you cut it it almost is as if she had no problem
Beautiful Job!!!!! Just gorgeous!!!!
Her hair is beautiful 💞
Not a hair girl.... Childhood. So i don't like people in my hair. But youuuuu, I have to get to you. I'll come twice a year. Your knowledge has won me over. Blessed hands!❤❤❤
Ummm….Her hair is beautiful! That Japanese hair straightener looks like it worked for her. It’s just time to get a touch up.
Agreed, it's recommended to use certain products for the straightened hair, she also needs to smooth/stretch her new growth to mitigate damage
Japanese relaxers are better than a regular relaxer because of the chemical base. It's all about the after care. It's the same base as the Jerry curl back in the day that grew the hair like crazy.
@@gogoldiego
My lovely late bonus used to use Geri Curls well before getting into my late daddy's life. At some point, I'll say mid '10s, and my bonus sis-in-law did her hair, and not only got the Geri Curls out, but went from shoulder length to Bob length or touch shorter. Since then, just wore natural hair, straighten it but bumped the ends.
Edit: Jeri and not Geri.
That's not her hair texture her hair that's growing in is porous breathing their hair on the bottom is limp and did you don't know what you're talkin
You know they love to cut your hair, not looking at the fact her hair really do need a touch up. Smh
Crystal, I love your chair side manner.😁 I will continue to watch your hair styling videos, you give great hair care advice. Thank you dear…🙏🏾💞👍🏾
Her hair is so Pretty it has a lot of body bang is awesome.
Both ladies hair was beautiful. I especially liked the young lady with the fly away bangs, but both were beautifully done.
I remember my daughter got some type of straightening system. It looked good in the beginning, but eventually her hair was falling out everywhere. Had to keep cutting it until it was gone
Without a stabilizer to stop the cleating. Your hair can fall out
First time and I love it. Have learned a lot. My granddaughter will be going to cosmetology school when she graduates next year. I usually send these videos to her.
I have a Japanese hair straightening system. My stylist is Japanese and learned how to do this system on black women’s hair. I’m black fyi… I love it. He doesn’t put a lot of heat in my hair. And my hair isn’t processed fully. He tested my hair before applying my first treatment and wrote down specific instructions on how to do my hair. My treatment is tailored to my hair. I love my stylist and my hair is now down my back. I put heat on my hair maybe three times a year at 160 degrees and one pass. during the treatment he straightens my hair at 130 degrees and one pass.
Elite hair care USA thank you for all of your very useful advise you give to the listeners, I appreciate it very much, I love watching your videos as I get so much advise to what I need to or not to do with my hair. Thank you Tricia from Adelaide Australia ❤❤❤❤
I’m a stylist and I do Japanese thermal reconditioning every single day. That is all I do . If it is done properly it’s an amazing process and hair is often healthier if retouches are done in timely manner and client properly takes care of hair. I have clients that couldn’t get hair past their shoulders and now have waist length hair. BUT…. You are absolutely correct this hair type is not ideal for this process. I discourage all clients that come to me with this hair type from doing Japanese for this reason . It will break eventually, curl is strong , hair is weak and the two textures tangle . There are new options on the market that are also permanent but much more gentle .
Well said Summer. Every product is not made for everyone. But like you said, if you are serviced by a licensed skilled professional, and practice proper home maintenance your hair will flourish… Continued success with your career…😊
I've been using Liscio for 22 years. It's designed to be inner mixed according to the hair texture/porosity. For Adrican American clients I highly recommend the aftercare & 4 month retouches. Milbon is an AMAZING company , and I have used other brands..just found that liscio was more flexible and predictable.
JHS treatment is an amazing process for everyone but only if you maintain it with proper home care and getting touch ups when needed.
I have afro hair , and i’ve had this treatment done for the past 2 and half years. For the past 10 years i haven’t been able to grow my hair past my shoulders up until getting the japanese hair straightening. Now my hair is half way down my back !!
The only time i experienced breakage was when i waited to long to get a touch up. The difference in textures with your new growth and previously treated hair causes to much friction and cause the hair to snap !
What system do u use?
@@lauramccullough9769 I use liscio as well, I do 4-6 thermals a week . It’s a wonderful product. Where are you located ? I’m always looking for hair straightening experts to refer clients to across the country.
Thanks!
DANG….. THATS THE BEST SHAMPOO IVE EVER SEEN. SHE GOT HER HAIR SUPER CLEAN ❤️
Beautiful!!! She looks like Cleopatra! 👍🤗💖
Viewing a lot of the videos on various channels, I never knew so many black women had such beautiful, thick, long hair. Just looking as I walk in stores, restaurants and other places, all I would see was lace front wigs with the fake part, extensions or very short hair. It is so refreshing to see sisters with this gorgeous hair growing out of the scalp.

You did a beautiful style on the very young lady's hair. You are a super fast relaxer! My goodness. I love your techniques. That Dyson hair dryer is worth having ar home.
FYI- when trying to clear the shampoo(or any type of soap)bubbles down the drain, use cold water. It dissipates the soap bubbles faster and you use WAY LESS water💦 This tip is for clearing the bubbles down drain only not the head (technically you could but it’s not terribly comfortable 😱) I live in California where the water rates are high and they like to ration our usage😅I hope you find this info helpful😊👍🏼
That surely barks, as water is a necessity.
You are such a professional, knowledgeable and lovely lady.😊😊
I am a knowledgeable Licensed Barber Stylist. I think you do good work. A curly perm is what they called jeri curls. So your right about that. That japanese perm reminds me of a Perm that targeted out to the black community it was called RIO. Once you have had a Rio Perm you couldn't put a relaxer back in the hair or your hair would fall out. Knowledge is power
Beautiful the way she did her hair. Really nice.
I tried telling some of my relatives who went natural(I chose to keep using a "mild" relaxer) about what you said about how some of these straightening methods damage hair OVER TIME..but they'd rather focus on the fact that I STILL get my hair relaxed!
I still occasionally get mild relaxers too. I just hate telling people because now that everyone is so #teamNatural they act like getting a relaxer is commiting a crime or something. 😩
More women are starting to get relaxers again…they TIDEEEE of the natural life 😭😩😂
@@preciousjohnson8088 I'm natural and prefer it but I never had any problems with my relaxers. We all need to do what works for us with our hair. TeamNatural does need to calm it down.
@@preciousjohnson8088
Committing a crime!
I'm so very sorry, but 😂😂😂😂😂
I guess I am guilty for not being opposed to people relaxing even as I am choosing to a very strong chance of me not relaxing anymore. But no plans to big chop.
I am now 8 months post relaxed.
I love the mizani butter line for relaxers 🤌
Love the fact you clarify the difference between a relaxer and a perm. When I started to introduce myself to black people hair I cuestioned that same, because I come from a place where women get perm and that's a very different procedure. Also, because here people naturally don't have that type of curl that often, there fore, people go to get a curly perm treatment to change their waves or lines.
Relaxers straighten the hair and perms add curls/waves. Though some still consider getting a perm, as straighten the hair. It's all good. Depending on the coarseness of the hair and the strength of the curl, perm solution can be used to straighten hair but is not as strong as other chemical relaxers.
@@roobear9935 she already knows the difference. She did not ask for clarification.
@@ToniaAlex13 I gave it anyways, mind your own business. Learn a new word "hypocrite", describes the person you are. Next...
@@roobear9935 maybe you should take your advice next time... Comprehension is key...

I have had a bad straightener before and had to go to the salon and cut off the bad parts every two weeks. After all the bad parts were cut I got a relaxer and have been relaxed for twenty years. My hair is still thick and healthy. I go to the salon and either get Affirm or Mizanni. Straighten out natural hair every week is bad. My mom only straighten our natural hair every three weeks when we were younger.
Her hair is so so beautiful
Just ordered one of those shampoo brushes, it looks like heaven! LOVE your videos! Thank you to all your clients for sharing their experience!
Something I notice while watching your videos . Be sure to get the right side of the hair ie. side burns especially when and where there is hair. Side bar I love the education that you are giving about hair care. So I for informative.
I'm a licensed Cosmetologist myself and you can't tell "US" certain things aren't for our hair. So many at home uneducated ppl doing hair at home off RUclips feel they don't need an actual license Cosmetologist until it's too late. Thank you so much for saying that certain products were not designed for curly/ kinky hair. 😫
yall act like hair salon dont also be burning the crap out of our hair too haha just cause yall do it professionally does not mean our curls are safe, either waiy straightning hair will f our curls up.
@@YVhere No if you put in a leaving in conditioner with a heat protectant and only have the style in for max two weeks. Your curls will revert back and be healthy. I t's when you leave a silk press/ flat iron in for more than two weeks your hair will start breaking because of the lack of moisture. Not only that but some women be flat ironing every few months which can lead to breakage, split ends etc..
Curly hair is *exactly* what Japanese straightening is for, though. It's not very common, but there are Japanese people with curly hair. Because it's not the norm, they may have difficulty figuring out how to care for their hair or honestly just prefer to make it straight bc they like it. Koreans do it too and I believe they use the same chemicals/process as the Japanese straightening.
Please some so cosmetologist damage clients hair from the jump. Then the client has to take a second mortgage for that 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
@@butteredtoast12 Asian hair cuticles are genetically stronger than African hair. Straightening methods might look good at first, but over time it *will* break your hair off
I wish you were in the Caribbean, i have natural hair most of my life twice i straighten it when i was getting married at 22, and some years later then i cut off the straighten parts since then its natural. But the way you was and treat hair i wish you could get you hsnds on my hair. You do wonderful work my dear.
I love how well educated you are in hair care. I don't see to many hair stylist that is knowledgeable. They just do hair. You are a lady with ambition and drive to be successful. Q&A: I am a lady that is starting to go into menopause and take certain kinds of medications. I have been noticing that my hair has been hard and dry but yet thinning out in some areas. I know that menopause can put a stress on a person but do you recommend any OTC products that can help me bring back some lust and shine to my hair? Thank you very much. It will be greatly appreciated.
She's said in the past that she's not a doctor or pharmacist so she won't give out medical advice. She's says she's knowledgeable about hair, but not medicine and doesn't want to recommend something that she doesn't understand that well. I hope you find some things that work for you.
I take 2 medications...I wait 2 hours or so after taking the medication to take my vitamins and minerals(magnesium,Nutrafol,
B-complex,liquid B-12,vitamin D)I started using henna and indigo (Hennasooq brand)instead of color since I still relax my hair,(you know,pick a chemical) I chose to stay "mildly" relaxed and I also use ayurvedic powders (amla,fenugreek,aloe vera) to name a few.. using henna/indigo is a long process though but worth it to me and I have seen significant progress in the health of my hair...the beautician noticed how thick my hair is and how she's sees some length! She's been taking pictures of my hair...
It's really pretty. Beautiful Black color.
Her hair is so thick and pretty
