Hey ladies and Ms. Lesia😁, thanks for taking the time to make this video for us. It shows how much you guys really care about your viewers and that you are listening to our questions! Love y’all 😘😘😘
I just got the Japanese straightener, it’s amazing!! My Afro is bone straight out of the shower now and dries smooth, and it’s not damaged or dry at all! I don’t understand what more people don’t do it. Have you both looked into this?
Amby We’ve heard of the Japanese straightening system but it’s more permanent than keratin and since we already get a permanent processing by way of relaxers, it probably won’t be ideal for us. Keratin isn’t something we look to for straight hair, just strengthening the straight hair from relaxing :)
TwoLaLa I have about six inches of relaxed ends and he just avoided putting the product on the ends. I highly recommended it for you two, it uses this instead of sodium hydroxide, you can have the treatment applied to your new growth your relaxed hair won’t be touched. Look into it girlies!! I love your content 😊
Amby I really want to get Japanese hair straightening, but when i look in my area (chicago), i only see the stylists doing more wavy to looser curled hair. My hair is like a 3c/4a and i’m scared that if I go to one of these salons, they’ll mess it up because they don’t know how to deal with my type of hair. Are you in the midwest, and if so, can you recommend me to a salon because I’d honestly travel a good 2 hours or so to get this done by someone who knows what they’re doing.
i think more people like the going between straight and fro rather than just straight ? it’s just a preference but those straighteners look pretty cool if you are going for a straight look
@C A can I give you an alternative? I ordered before from Amazon! They have so many diferent that you can do by yourself. But now i botox because I am pregnant and actually love it more !
@ELaw it is safe to apply a relaxer within 3 days after your Keratin Treatment, You have to allow at least 72 hours for the protein to penetrate the into the hair cuticle.
Thank you for spreading knowledge !!! Knowledge is power ....You guys have a good stylist God bless her ..So nice of her to answer viewers questions...Great vid !!
Ok, so I texted her and here's her answer: Correct, your has to maintain a Ph balance of a 7 which is the perfect balance of moisture and protein. If your hair is over proteinized is when it becomes brittle and prone to breakage.
I have relaxer in my hair right now both of you ladies talk about the stretch. I relax my hair every 6-8 weeks trying to go longer on the 8 weeks side. so instead of perming at the 6 week mark do I do the Keratin treatment than wait a couple weeks and do the relaxer again
Hi! I need your help. I was so disappointed by keratin treatment now I want to switch to hair relaxer quickly. Can I do a hair relaxer with hair treated with keratin
Thanks so much Eboni & Erica, you wont believe I was afraid of doing a Keratin treatment,please tell your hairdresser Lesia thank you. Great job ladies. P.S. Have yall gotten your cactus oil by Vatika? thanks again.
I'm So Glad that you now have the proper information regarding the keratin treatment for natural and or chemically treated hair, the benefits are truly amazing!!! Enjoy
Hey ladies, I normally relax my hair. I decided to have a keratin treatment 8 weeks ago. Most of my length is the regular relaxer, which I was cutting off incrementally while I adjusted to my natural hair. My problem is I don’t like the way my hair looks. It’s puffy and kinky again in the area that was virgin hair before I had keratin, along with a 1/4” of new growth. It appears that the keratin treatment wore off to some extent. I would like to relax my hair again. Do you think it’s safe to do a relaxer?
Can I add a keratin smoothing treatment over my relaxed hair right after I complete my relaxer process? Second how long must I wait before relaxing the previously keratinized new growth? Is using olaplex to repair the broken disulfide bonds a good practice to do before applying the keratin smoothing treatment to newly relaxed hair? Thank you for sharing your expertise. 🎉 P.S. I will be using the keratin smoothing treatment by “ANSWR”.
This was super interesting and informative!! My question is, is a keratin treatment best for people who do really long stretches or is there a specific amount of time to stretch in between a relaxer and keratin treatment? Thanks
As you stretch your relaxer weather it being that you are getting ready for the big chop or you want to maintain healthy hair during your stretch it is important to maintain the intergity of your hair and the keratin treatment is brilliant away to accomplish the best results.
I active so my hair doesn’t quite make itnthe the 3 week mark lol can I use a leratin treatment as like a week 3 “maintenance straightener” between 6-8 week relaxing?
Yes u can I use it cuz at 6 weeks my new growth is crazy and too early to relax so use that to stretch my relaxer and it last 4 to 6 months depending on how often u shampoo I wash about once a month and last me past 6 months but that's how I manage to only get two relaxers a year hope I helped and only 70 dollars on Amazon def worth it to me
Hello Twins thank you both for taking time to give information on relaxed hair!!! I have a, question. I have started to stretch my relaxer and I got to week 9 with the advice about products, moisturizing, Aphogee Protein treatment once a month, using satin wraps, ect( I'd been doing this prior) my question is if I'm doing all the steps for taking care of my hair BUT around week 6 I start getting more breakage/shedding how do I train my hair to stretch for a longer period of time
Go ahead and get another relaxer put in if you see shedding and breakage. On the next go round, try to go longer. You may have to be stuck at week 6 for the next try, but the one after that, see if you can stretch. Your hair just needs to be trained. Hair vitamins are great and even collagen is helping me too. It didn’t happen overnight for us either.
I feel like you can over protein too and make your hair too hard. So my original question was if you get a keratin treatment you should only use moisturizing conditioners? Yes or no?
Hey Ladies! After years of wearing my hair in weaves I decided to get a keratin treatment. My natural hair is doing well but my desired look is for my hair to be alot straighter. How long should I wait to get it relaxed? Also once i start relaxing how often do i get the keratin treatment on? Do i get it relaxed every 3 months and the keratin every 6. I’m a little confused with the timescale of when i can put the treatment on relaxed hair, can i get it relaxed then the treatment 2/3weeks later? So sorry for the long comment, this is all new to me.
Leesa *** Hey! I’d wait about 1-2 months to get a relaxer. That way the keratin is still strong in your hair. Once you start relaxing, you can put a keratin in every 6 months (that’s usually how long they last of you can take care of it. For some people it only last for 3 months but I try to extend mine to 6 months). Let us know how it goes!!!
Section & Pre base your scalp with the Vaseline the night before or at least 15 minutes before relaxing. First round relaxing have relaxer applied 1/8 inch from the root. Second round relaxing apply relaxer close to root but avoid scalp. Smooth hair downward with dye brush
So the keratin doesn’t alter the curl pattern of your natural hair? I’m strongly considering this for my daughter. Did you notice your new growth was more manageable after the keratin treatment?
Shari Odom It doesn’t mess with your natural curl. Go check out my first wash routine after getting the keratin and you can see me run my hands through my hair new growth and all with so much ease! ❤️
Can you do a keratin treatment at home ? I see some keratin treatments said you can do it yourself without going to the hair salon. or should I go to a hairstylist? ( thank you for sharing this video it was very helpful 😃😊)

I know right?! She's awesome. Thanks girl!
@@twolala1 God bless her !! sending love from Canada
How long do you wait between relaxing and keratin treatment?
Leisa, if one has hair protein sensitivity, will the keratin treatment cause increase drying and breakage? Thanks
I was wondering the same thing
Your hair already has keratin so it shouldn't be harmful
Ok, so I texted her and here's her answer: Correct, your has to maintain a Ph balance of a 7 which is the perfect balance of moisture and protein. If your hair is over proteinized is when it becomes brittle and prone to breakage.
Yh especially if U have low porosity hair , high porosity hair loves proteins

What brand of keratin treatment do you use?
Hi! I need your help. I was so disappointed by keratin treatment now I want to switch to hair relaxer quickly. Can I do a hair relaxer with hair treated with keratin
Did you relax it? i have the same question
Wow!! This was way informative and enlightening. Thanks, Erica and Ebony. The way forward is CLEAR.😄😄😄
This was a very informative video. I learned a lot about the keratin treatment. I also thought that it was similar to a relaxer! Great video!😊
Deidre D Thanks Deidre! I learned myself too! ❤️
Thanks so much Eboni & Erica, you wont believe I was afraid of doing a Keratin treatment,please tell your hairdresser Lesia thank you. Great job ladies. P.S. Have yall gotten your cactus oil by Vatika? thanks again.

Hey!! We will!
Hi ladies! Been vacationing and just now able to watch this vid. 🙌🏾
NaturallyCorporate Hi!! Hope you’re enjoying your vacay!!
I used the keratin and it did not straighten the roots of my hair. I love the smooth on the ends but the roots are not

Im looking for the same answers. Did you find out the answer ?
Ebony your hair looks so full and healthy!!!Beautiful ❤❤❤
Aww thank you!!! 💕💕

Is there a solution that's: Cheap, safe & healthy, permanent (almost) to your hair??
How often should you get a keratin?
3-6 months, but I'm gonna do every 6 months :)
Please shows your relaxing and when shopping buying
I use ORS no lye relaxer when can I use and apply keratin Or protein to my hair to change the treatment I’m using now??
This was super interesting and informative!! My question is, is a keratin treatment best for people who do really long stretches or is there a specific amount of time to stretch in between a relaxer and keratin treatment? Thanks

@@lesianyarko9417 Thanks
I didn't hear the answer to this question unless I missed something. After applying keratin, when is it safe to apply a relaxer to all natural hair?
E Law Hey girl, She answered you in another comment..haha. Were you able to see it? 💕
@@twolala1 Does the answer involve the safe timeframe to be, apply relaxer at the end of 6 months after the keratin application?
@@erikablack6761 THANK YOU!!! Be blessed!!!
I'm relaxed and Is a keratin treatment the same as me getting my aphogee treatment every six weeks?
ternisha johnson yes I believe so.
Keratin is more intense, but I wouldn't do both. I loved Aphogee when I did use it though :)
Hi girls! First yay!! Very informative video.
melissa silva Hey girl!!! You are on it when it comes to the comments!! :)
I active so my hair doesn’t quite make itnthe the 3 week mark lol can I use a leratin treatment as like a week 3 “maintenance straightener” between 6-8 week relaxing?

I just relaxed my hair after being natural for 10yrs 😄 and I was wondering how often you do your keratin treatments between relaxer touch ups?
I usually do it every 4 months and relax every 6 but the keratin aftercare products help it last a long time
Thank you so much! Very informative!
Arlita Ahh you’re welcome!!

Thanks ladies for the info 💜💜💜💜
I feel like you can over protein too and make your hair too hard. So my original question was if you get a keratin treatment you should only use moisturizing conditioners? Yes or no?
0.0M views You definitely should. Moisturizing conditioners can still have hydrolyzed keratin in it and still not dry your hair out.
Can I relax my hair after keratin treatment
Can you get permanent color with relaxer and keratin?
My guess is going darker or a rinse yes but I wouldnt put bleach with all those chemicals. I hope Lisa answers this question.
@@bestlife9409 I use just a black rinse it's out in a few washes. In my 20s I used bleach it turned my hair orange and took most of my hair off.
@@DANNYTHEFROG123 thank you so much!
You can color your hair with keratin. It will probably help your hair be able to handle it. I'll check with Lesia for you though :)
Thank you for your answers!

Thank you so much ❤
Will a keratin treatment loosen your natural texture ? And where does your hair dresser do hair ?
Brigg Cave I think so I’ve been told to use it to loosen my texture by hairdresser
She does hair in Chatsworth area (Salon Integriti) .
Yes it does.
Can you do a keratin treatment at home ? I see some keratin treatments said you can do it yourself without going to the hair salon. or should I go to a hairstylist? ( thank you for sharing this video it was very helpful 😃😊)
Thanks Brooke! In my opinion, I think you should have someone do it for you, but I'll ask Lesia and get back to you or have her get back to you :)
@@twolala1 thank you ^_^
@@twolala1 Hey I just want to let you both know that I'm getting the Uncurly plus keratin treatment that's the one you can used at home.
Thanks for answering my question!!!
No problem!
Nice one
How long after my keratin treatment can I get a perm?
Ready OrNot I would wait at least 3months
You could probably get away with 2 months as well..I may wait 2 months before getting my next keratin after my relaxer :)
I would love to see yall natural hair😭😍
Ta'Aisa Robinson Haha you saw a little bit of it in that new growth pic. Like Erica said, never say never 😉
