Very good content sis. I need ur advice as far as using protein before the neutralising shampoo is concerned : don't u think the relaxer is still processing in the meantime with the protein on ? . My fear is over processing my thin hair. Pls give me ur point. Sorry for my english. French is my 1st langage. Xoxo
Hey hon, My friend that specialized in relaxed hair for almost 30 years brought this to my attention. She mentioned that it makes the process easier for the protein to penetrates your hair because the shaft is open after you rinse out the relaxer. Whenever you apply neutralizing shampoo the shaft close up, so the protein won't get to penetrate as much. It makes perfect sense, because the relaxer that I use from dark n lovely, in the steps the protein treatment comes before the neutralizing shampoo. Check it out ,it's the dark n lovely triple silkening relaxer. Your hair won't have any damages doing this, when you rinse out the relaxer it dramatically slow down the relax process. It not like you are going to go a full day not using the neutralizing shampoo. I have been doing this since November and my hair is doing fantastic. ❤️❤️As you can see I'm not bald headed and have damage hair. 😁🙌🏾
Wrapping my hair and just using serums did not work for me at all even with DC every week my relaxed hair was dry. I started using Ayurveda and air drying using a T-shirt for 15-20 mins then moisturizing and sealing in 2 twists caused less breakage and maintained moisture. The key to moisturizing and sealing is not using so much moisturizer that ur hair gets wet. I use a small amount of moisturizer and seal with an oil and for the first time in years my hair stays moisturized got thicker and stronger and stopped breaking. Everything is about experimenting and finding what works for your hair. You made some good points and gave options for viewers.
I find that my hair breaks more if I air dry it. I find that blow- drying my hair once a week after my wash reduces shedding massively, and reduces tangles the whole week.
For real, once per week and you are good. just never run the flat iron on your hair after the third day after your was day. My friend warn me to never use my flat iron on dirty hair.
You're following the haircare situation to the T which is so good because we break the relax hair rule and we're wondering why we're not seeing progress stretching the relaxer pass next never over deep conditioning the Hair Etc. you said on the relaxer box it stayed six to eight weeks which is true. When it comes to deep conditioning we overdo it one hair care expert on RUclips said follow the conditional instruction if they tell you 3 minutes it is for reason they know that their product will work within the time
Hey I have never use that product before. I tried researching and I saw African Best Mayonnaise Leave In, I'm not sure if that's the one. I would suggest using that leave in or Aussie Leave In Conditioner as your leave in conditioner during your wash day. And use a glossing polisher or serum twice a day. Don't use any moisturizers, they are not for our relaxed hair.
I will suggest getting a trim every 2 months. At times you just have to manicure ends a bit, no in depth cut. That's what I do. And make sure to deep conditioning your hair every week. And apply your glossing polisher twice a day and place emphasis on your ends. Wrap your hair every night before bed and use a silk or satin scrap or bonnet.
YES! It's terrible. It was made for natural hair and not for relaxed hair. I had a hard time giving them up, when my hairstylist friend told me to get rid of them. But now I'm so happy I did because she was telling the truth.
I thought relaxer should be applied to 1 inch new growth. My hair grows a quarter inch a month. So Im thinking every 4 months will work but i will relax if my hair is unmanageable and breaking at 2 months if necessary. I deep condition with heat im trying heatless styles and leaving it alone sometimes under wigs, and scarves. I just was natural 10 yeara and prior I never cared for my relaxed hair...im doing it differently now! I want belly button length, im 31 and scared i wont reach my hair goal b4 i die. Its taking forever!
Hey love, I am using carrot seed oil and Curls Blueberry & Mint Scalp Treatment on my scalp. ❤️❤️Always I love a hot oil combo before I go in with my shampoo on my wash day.
@@maryosei961Try to wash and deep treat every week. Get a protein treatment every month. Don't be afraid to get a decent trim, you hair will grow back. Is it shredding in my small pieces of hair or long strands?
Dont stress. Drink water. Take multi vitamins. Deep condition with heat. Trim. Gentle handling. Leave accessories that pull hair alone! Scrunchies, head bands, clips, rubber bands, can all cause more damage.
I need your help please so I realize I keep seeing my hair breaking every time I lay on the bed I see a few long and short pieces of hair however when I comb out my hair I don’t see any hair coming out so I am super confuse and I don’t know if it’s really shedding or breaking 😪
@@samminu I use to use rice water rinse everyday for like 2 week every month… I really started to drop condition I use d ors hairestore deep conditioner I use it one time I will deep condition again this week plus I use the wild growth oil
@@eyekandy3000 You hair is already moisturized from the step you use wash day routine including your leave in conditioner. Use the glossing to maintain your hair.
I don't use any more moisturizers. I am now using keracare leave in conditioner for my weekly wash days. Also Proclaim glossing polish everyday for maintenance.
Hey Luvita! I use hair glossing polishers/serums. I just did a video on "why you should stop moisturizing and sealing your hair" on my channel if you wanna check it out. I break down everything why for you. ❤️❤️

Wow...
Things regarding my hair are starting to make sense since watching this video!
❤️❤️. Glad this video put somethings in perspective for you.
I find that my hair breaks more if I air dry it. I find that blow- drying my hair once a week after my wash reduces shedding massively, and reduces tangles the whole week.
I am glad you figured out what works best for you. I don't air also because of the same reason. I just make sure to use my heat protectant.
That is the same with me unless I put it in corn rows right away.
I heard that too!
Same!!!
@@sayitloudblcknproud No air drying for us!!
Your hair looks healthy and nice
Thank you so much!!
When I had relaxed hair I relaxed every 4-6 months and it was long and flourishing, that was over 10 years ago.
Amazing!!
Also stress and some medications can cause breaking..
Absolutely. Long strands definitely indicates stress.
I agree on the stretching
For real, it's definitely a major reason.
You make a lot of sense 😀
Thank you love ❤❤
Thank you this video really helped a lot ❤️
You are welcome! I'm so happy to hear that.
I love all your videos. You're smart.
Thank you so much Pretty Enje. I appreciate the kind words beautiful. ❤️
Using heat once per week, thanks. I was told to run away from heat.we've learn that heat the enemy
For real, once per week and you are good. just never run the flat iron on your hair after the third day after your was day. My friend warn me to never use my flat iron on dirty hair.

I’m not lazy. I’m depressed. 😡
So helpful!!!
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤
Great video. Can I use Olive oil hair mayonnaise for relaxed hair as a moisturizer/leave-in?
Hey I have never use that product before. I tried researching and I saw African Best Mayonnaise Leave In, I'm not sure if that's the one. I would suggest using that leave in or Aussie Leave In Conditioner as your leave in conditioner during your wash day. And use a glossing polisher or serum twice a day.

Bless you, sis
❤❤❤❤
Wrapping causes my edges to become thin and sparse.....sometimes painful. I wrap on occasion.
Do you try to rotate sides?
Same for me! I never wrap and use pin curls to put my hair away. My edges thinned out when I wrapped my hair and it hurt!!
You must be putting every pound of muscle you have into wrapping it
I noticed i cant wrap every night. It breaks i have fine delicate hair that wants to be left alone
"Get rid of the manly hands and get feminine hands" 😂🤣😂🤣
Haha. Gurllllll.
how can i take care of my tips? 🥺 like i cut my split ends every 4-6 months, but like my tips are so dry and crooked🙈

That’s where I think my breakage is coming from, the wetness from the cream and then you can hear pop, when I platt my hair

Hey sweetie,
Silicones products bring also dryness and breakages
Yes those lotions are not for relaxed hair . Every time I’ve tried one and tried to manipulate my hair after . It popped and broke 😩
The worse for your relaxed hair!! Broke my hai off so bad.😭
@@samminu 😩 just had to cut my hair back to chin length September last year .. now back to shoulder length and I’m staying away from them ..
@@Boujieboss Yay!! See your hair is striving without it. Glad we saw the light!!! 🤣🤣
Do you use oils for your scalp? Or do u put it in before you condition it on wash day?
Hey love, I am using carrot seed oil and Curls Blueberry & Mint Scalp Treatment on my scalp. ❤️❤️Always I love a hot oil combo before I go in with my shampoo on my wash day.
@@samminu Thank you. I've changed my regimen. I see a whole difference. 😇
@@shatorialarry8150 Great! I am happy to hear that.
That's true, happened with me also
For men 👊🏽
What part of the video are you referencing?
Mary hair is breaking too much please i need help
Are you stretching your relaxer? Do give your hair a regular deep conditioning treatment?
@@samminu Yes please i steam very month
@@maryosei961Try to wash and deep treat every week. Get a protein treatment every month. Don't be afraid to get a decent trim, you hair will grow back. Is it shredding in my small pieces of hair or long strands?

Since like it's breaking. Try to use your glossing polisher every night and wrap your hair before bed.
How often do you get a protein treatment?
@@samminu ok thnx for replying can you recommend a glossing polisher or I can use anyone?
@@samminu I use to use rice water rinse everyday for like 2 week every month… I really started to drop condition I use d ors hairestore deep conditioner I use it one time I will deep condition again this week plus I use the wild growth oil
@@Babygurlkayy I use proclaim and IC Fantasia olive oil glossing polisher. You can use anyone of your choice though.
Moisturizers leave your hair damp and then dry the next day.it weighs down tge hair
So true!!!
True but whats the best to use
@@scoviak Use hair glossing serums/hair polishers like the ones I mentioned in the video.
Hair serums aren’t moisturizing though
@@eyekandy3000 You hair is already moisturized from the step you use wash day routine including your leave in conditioner. Use the glossing to maintain your hair.
I've noticed that the moisturizing lotions do the exact same thing to my hair as it does to yours. Can you recommend any specific moisturizers?
I don't use any more moisturizers. I am now using keracare leave in conditioner for my weekly wash days. Also Proclaim glossing polish everyday for maintenance.
@@samminu thank you
@@meaganseraphin2990 You are so welcome.
U didn’t say which moisturizer
What do you use for deep conditioner?
Hey, I use Motion's Conditioner. I linked it in the description box. ❤️
I totally misread your question. I use the Beo Crece Pelo Treatment, it's fantastic.
Relaxing your hair in jamaica is $10 to $15 . Im shocked its expensive in the US
Right!! Crazy expensive here. It’s good when you can do it yourself.
@@samminu yes so true.
Maybe you should look into fast hair growth shampoo to double hair growth.
Thank you Dorothy for your suggestion, I will look into that.
Hi do you know any names of these shampoos? I will look in my country to see if we have it.
Lol @ in Shambles!!! 🤣
Haha! The struggle is real!
What to use if not moisturizers?
Hey Luvita! I use hair glossing polishers/serums. I just did a video on "why you should stop moisturizing and sealing your hair" on my channel if you wanna check it out. I break down everything why for you. ❤️❤️
