You need to be a voice actor. You have great inflection, and annunciation. You’re a beautiful communicator, sis!
Whitney Prather Wow! Thank you so much!
I agree. .I LOVE her pronunciation and enunciation. It's like she took elocution or public speaking lessons.
Whitney Prather I agree I’m bout to fall asleep listening to her
OMG yessss she should!
She speaks like a newscaster
Why does hair breakage hurt me more than breaking up with a boyfriend I never had. The pain is brutal
Lmao sis I felt this in my soul!! 😩😭
I know the feeling all to well😔 it's making me so sad! My hair has gotten so thin right now
I'm following your videos religiously this year so I can get my relaxed hair longer. Keep up the good work.
Pendo Afrika Thank you soooo much!
Give us an update okay!
Update?
Yea how it is going?
Your hair looks so cute in this video! 😊
This is great information! I have had relaxed hair since before i can remember, I'm at the old age when relaxed hair was the norm for little black girls, so I can't remember when my mom wasn't relaxing my hair. I would add to the conversation that some textured hair just can't take a relaxer, so if you are struggling and seeing breakage, you might consider a different hair care method. I am 1 of 4 daughters and my hair takes a relaxer with no problem and no breakage problem, my three sisters have all had problems and haven' t been able to use a relaxer without breakage. So, 2 of them have gone natural and one consistently uses a weave.AA curl patterns are so different, you have to work with what you have!
Olaplex works better on clean hair. You have to use a clarifying shampoo first to remove the build up on your hair, then apply the olaplex step 3 trmt. This allows it to penetrate better.
ramia184 You are absolutely right. Sorry for this confusion!
Your skin is moisturized and glowing
im soo greatful for your videos i was so clueless and regretting getting a relaxer bc my hair kept shedding alot your vids help me and now im loving my relaxer and learning how to properly take care of my hair
Amazing video. This answered so many questions for me. Many thanks
This is fantastic video!! Such helpful information. I recently relaxed my hair after being natural for 8 years so I wanna make sure I set my hair up for success!!
I've just discovered your CZcams channel today and watched this video. I wear a short pixie relaxed hairstyle and have noticed some breakage in a small section of my crown, so I was looking for some up-to-date information on caring for my hair. Any way, I was thoroughly impressed with this video; you clearly know your stuff... and it was beautifully explained and delivered. I'm now a new subsriber! Thanks again!
I have learned so much about how to care for my hair breakage from you. Thank you soo much.
Oh my goodness thank you so much. I’ve learned so much. I loved everything about your video. I can’t thank you enough. After all these years I finally understand how to take care of my relaxed hair. So glad I found this video.
This was a great vlog very informative and I can relate to many things you mentioned. I however with trimming was going to someone who was cutting my ends and length off every 8 weeks and I wasn't seeing growth and my hair grows pretty well. I love how you explained everything and why these things are bad.
Thank you for your great advice.
Woow thank you. Clear explanations❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very informative. Love your voice an innunciation!
I love watching your videos there’s something natural and nice about you .. I can’t put to words I love watching your videos 😃😃😃
Thank you so much for ALL of the great tips. I absolutely LOVE ORS leave in conditioner
Rochelle James Thank YOU so much! I’m so grateful!!
Satin scarf 🧣, bonnet neither stay on my head. I bought a silk pillow case... but I admit because I take it off my bed because it’s one pillow and doesn’t match my bed sheets ... I forget to put back sometimes.
Wow this is such a information overload
This video is absolutely awesome.
Awww! Thank you!
Another way to get good circulation to the scalp is to hang upside down for ten minutes a day. I tried it and it definitely works.
Loved your video content, I found it helpful! Thank You
Arlita I’m so glad! Here to help!
Thanks Dominique you saved my hair🙏💞💞💞
Loved the video. Thank you
So glad I found your channel. I have been trying to figure out why my hair is so dry. I deep condition and do all of the things you listed but b/t washes is the problem or was. I now understand what I was doing wrong. Thanks so much. Of course I subscribed !😊
Ahh! My Princess Thank You 🙏🏾! I am a queen Blessed with beautiful hair! I can’t thank you enough! My hair is breaking as I speak, but you gave me help! Blessings ✝️ and Be Safe my Princess! Ms . G!
Great to know . Thank you . I always go for bone straight . I stopped using heat frequently. Just started deep conditioning.
Can you do videos on scalp hydration, scalp moisturizing and cleansing? Or even the massaging
I am a new subscriber, I came across your channel. I enjoy watching and you have great content. Thanks
This video was so helpful! I get my relaxers professionally done by my hairdresser and I'm looking forward to when they open back up because my new growth lord have mercy It's definitely a struggle!
I hear ya, girl. I think I will need to relax my own hair during the quarantine! Don't think I will last until June.
Great video! Thank you!
Missgaga Dt Thank you!
Dom you are awesome! I love your videos you are so real and beautiful.
You are! Love ya, Ava! xo
I love this lady
Yes I use to comb, brush and do my hair all the time now I leave it along and I make sure to oil it
Shewquet taylor Perfect! It seems like hair just wants to be left alone. That’s why most men have such nice hair (and eyelashes) lol!
I stopped perming my hair 8 years ago because I was LITERALLY going bald at the top front of my head. I started back perming it in October 2019 and I haven't had any issues yet. Perming it every 2 months and measuring the activator. Each bottle of perm activator is exactly 3 tablespoons. I only put 2 tablespoons and, my scalp doesn't burn and, it doesn't smell like chemicals when I'm done washing it. Maybe this will be helpful to someone else
I love this
That’s a good idea! I’m back to relaxing after 5 years natural and will do a touch up in three months. Going to try your tip!
Thank you for updating this video. It was very informative. My favorite part was that length does not equal health. My problem is consistency. So helpful. Thank you!!!
Natasha Ruffin Hi Natasha! You’re welcome! I feel you. I was really inconsistent. One day, sick of how terrible my hair looked, I made a promise to myself to just reserve 10 minutes a day to start caring for my hair. The rest is history! That being said, we’ve just been given word that the quarantine has been extended to end of June. Guess who’ll have to relax her own hair? 😖😖😖😖😖
@@StyleDomination Oh my goodness!!! I am fanning out!!! Thank you for the encouragement. I am not brave enough to relax my own hair. I actually have my relaxer of choice at home, the shampoo and everything. But, I am too afraid to ever do that. 😱
Thank goodness, my hair is not breaking! I decided to start using Olaplex because of you. Keeping the new growth at bay right now is no easy feat, I was just going to make an appointment for a retouch when the shutdown happened. Thanks for representing us classy ladies in our prime.
Perfect Karma Oh my goodness. You are welcome! Happy Easter! P.S. I’m dreading having to relax my hair myself. Nooooo
I was reading that for damaged hair we should be using Olaplex 3 a couple times per week...but it's sooo expensive!
I busted out laughing when you said "DEEP CONDITION" WITH FISTS IN THE AIR. 🤣🤣
Candice Reed Reed LMAOOOOO!!!
Your makeup is always flawless and simple.
Ashley Smith Thank you!
Style Domination i don’t even have relaxed hair. I literally only watch you look at your makeup 😂. Please consider doing makeup tutorials 😩🙏
@@Zzra8 Oh wow! I used to do makeup tutorials, but no one would watch them. LOL
Love that sweater.
Just bought the S Curl Activator. I’m going to join your Facebook page🥰
Hope you like it!
Informative...💥
Glad you liked it
I love that hair style and the makeup. You are just too pretty. I am natural but I like to wear my hair flat ironed, but your tips still help me. Do you think using essential and carrier oils, on the scalp, is bad or good? Thank you for your videos.
Thank you 🙂
Sarah Huber You’re welcome!
Thanks for the information; cute 'do!
This is so freaking helpful..
Shania Smith Omg. Thank you. Appreciate the feedback!
@@StyleDomination always Hun
That’s me I buy everything thank you
Can you do a video on shedding ?
I use Olaplex No. 3 on shampooed hair (with a good quality clarifying shampoo) so that all product build-up & residue is gone & the Olaplex can do it’s best job on my hair.
Wow your voice is amazing 😢❤️😂
Do not make a relaxer cocktail 🍹 love it 😂
Dr.miracle Shampoo is good for relaxed hair ?
Hi great tips in the video love this channel! Recently I experienced heartbreaking damage to my hair due to hygral fatigue. I usually moisturize & seal every other day but lately I’ve been doing it daily. I used a natural hair mask that claimed to be protein mask and applied a dc after with cap. BUT I later found out the mask was actually a moisturizing treatment with no protein benefits. My hair was so greasy and thin with breakage after I washed it out! Next time I won’t trust hair masque recipes and also be more cautious about protein/moisture balance
These are some great tips. I think I’m washing way too much but I go swimming in the salt water two or these times a week as my workout routine so not sure what else to do. Any tips welcome. P.S. I used a swim cap and broke off my edges
Finding Happily... Oh no! Collette - sorry to read this. Swim caps are too tight, and because they are made of latex, they are extra grippy - hanging on to hair and ripping it! Have you tried rinsing your hair well with a conditioner after swimming in the ocean?
Good night. I just stumbled across your video and had to subscribe. I’m having a hair crises. Immense breakage the entire back section has fallen off. I was trying to go natural so I was under processing now I’m perming again. I need help. I purchased the No3 and the aphogee 2 step. I’m currently using Pantene repair shampoo and conditioner. Any input. Thank you
Thank you for this video, I recently texlaxed my hair after 6yrs natural. Everything is new to me because when I was relaxed previously, I never really focused on hair health and I now realise just how severely damaged my hair was. I tried Olaplex a week after texlax and I shampooed first ( hair felt stripped after😱) then put HALF the bottle in my hair and left it in for 4hours😱😱🙈🙈. It got really dry and crunchy and omg it was horrible!! I'm trying to get it back to soft and moisturized. Next time I will try your way. Thanks for the tips❤❤
After the Olaplex No. 3 you’re supposed to shampoo then deep condition the hair. The directions for Olaplex No. 3 say leave on for 10 mins or longer. I leave on for 30 mins with a plastic cap, then I shampoo & deep condition. 4 hours is too long. Did you use genuine Olaplex or a knock-off?
@@bumblebee4024 it was genuine Olaplex, it got it from Lookfantastic.com (im in the UK). I have since used it as directed and my hair feels so much better. I have since realised my hair had some serious protein overload hence the serious dryness🤦♀️. I have used up the bottle, but i don't think i will be buying again.
Hi, I do have a question, how long do I let a relaxer cream for a texlaxed texture on a 4c hair? Thank you 🙏🏽
Fantastic video. Thank you so much! How long can you keep a tub of lye relaxer for after youve used it?
elusivebabe I’m not sure. But all creams, lotions, soaps and cosmetics have a little symbol on their packaging that looks like an open can with a number on it. That number signifies how many months the product will be good after it’s been opened. Hope that helps!
Style Domination lots! Thank you
What brand condition can u recommend to do a deep condition
what tips do u have for knots?
I have been relaxing about 40plus years. Now that I need to color. I get my relaxer and color the next week. My hair is just past my shoulder blades. I'm having problems finding the right hairdryer that will dry my hair. I don't blow dry. I stay away from that type of heat. I roller set and use a hood hairdryer. But my hair is to long for it to dry after 2 hours. Any suggestions on a really good hairdryer. Blow drying is off the table.
So how are you drying your hair exactly?
Please how long should you leave relaxer on your hair
I'm having issues with shedding and need help. My hair actually isn't breaking but coming straight from the root. I deep condition, drink lots of water, take my vitamins and my hair has great moisture but it's still coming out from the roots. It's confusing. Help!
What does deep conditioning mean, having the conditioner in your hair longer? 30 minutes?
Nice video, especially for me on relaxer day! I was wondering how often do you wait between relaxers?
McNiki For years, I would wait two months. Then because I got busy with work due to the quarantine, I had to stretch 3.5 months. Best thing I ever did. Going to stretch that time period again. ☺️
We might have to stretch long i went into Walmart THERE WAS NO RELAXER!😩💀🤣
What do you do when new growth comes in I can't wrap it then
You're a goddess thank you so much
HI i have dull relaxed hair and dry relaxed hair. i moisturize and seal with African pride olive miracle anti- breaking maximum strengthening moisturizer lotion. i seal with KeraCare essential oils. My hair is dry in the mornings despite also wearing a silk wrap. i have low porosity hair protein sensitive. I deep condition once a month with ORS. I am woundering if i should go back to the blue magic conditioner with Keracare essential oil.
I do enjoy watching your videos; you are very passionate and devoted in what you do. Thank you for sharing your hair journey for relaxed hair.
I can’t believe some people mix their relaxers and save left over kits!! 🤯
SadeChampagne I use to save when I was in school 🤦🏽♀️ I was poor
I saved it but never mixed!
Hi Dom! Thanks for all the good tips. Do you shampoo your hair before using the olaplex 3?
ethanmam Hi luv! I’m so sorry. I gave you wrong info. Olaplex should be applied to clean, damp hair.
@@StyleDomination Thank you darling😘
I'm a straight hair natural. I was previously relaxed for years since I was 12 years old. I stopped relaxing my hair in 2016 and transitioned to natural. The reason being is because no matter how well I cared for my relaxed hair I always dealt with dryness, split ends and pretty severe breakage at times. My hair is fine in texture and high porosity. I just don't think my hair type can withstand a relaxer. However I prefer wearing my hair straight so I find watching your channel extremely helpful for my haircare needs since I do straight styles most of the time. I straighten my hair every 2 to 3 weeks. Sometines I'll stretch to 4 weeks just to kind of give my hair a rest in between blow outs and flat ironing. Love watching your channel. Your haircare tips (primarily on moisturizing and sealing) have helped me retain so much length. I've finally reached bra strap length lol. That's for creating great knowledgeable content! Btw I also love your effortless style and great personality!
Sis I tried everything , At this point I’m just gonna go bald 🤦🏽♀️
Deserts Masert Nooooo! Hang in there, babe! Happy Easter, girl!
Try taking zinc, you could be deficient in that vitamin.
Don't give up
Have you tried FENUGREEK powder.
It's cheap. Try and find it at Chinese grocery stores.
I know Amazon sells it but its, double the price.
I am from Canada and its $2.
It's the best thing.
Thicker hair, promotes hair growth.
No dandruff.
I have used it for 4 months, and I love it.
CZcams has videos on it.
Look it up.
Goodluck.
Check your vitamin D levels. Most people are deficient in Vitamin D
How often do you wash your hair? I have long hair (waist length) and since it s dry I wash it every 2 weeks
Ines Ramoudi Hi Ines! I wash mine about twice a week. When I was flat ironing it, only once a week...
Do you think the Ors replenishing conditioner without the orange oil will work just as well?
Haylia Joy Oh - I’m sorry. I haven’t tried that one.
Yes
Why would a first time relaxer break my hair? I did it myself and have used lye and no lye. Both times my hair fell off (many months apart and no prior relaxer) within 2 weeks. Ive had to start braiding again. I even used less activator than what the bottle indicated. Still breakage. Moisurizer was being used as well. I am afraid to try again. I dont know if the issue is not enough washing after the relaxer is complete.
Update. I will stay natural for a while longer!
You look like combination of Natalie Cole and Gabrielle Union. So beautiful!
Natalie cole not Gabrielle union
Do you do any protein treatments the week before your relaxer?
gemruby41 No - usually the week right after a relaxer. 😊
Are you a teacher? you give me teacher vibes when you talk about hair, hope this doesn't offend you
Vanessa Starter No - I just sound like one. Lol!
@@StyleDomination oh, cool!
So true and Gorgeous to boot
Why would that be offensive???
Charlotte Rawlins you never know what might offend someone!!!
I live in a really dry climate now and glycerin is abusing my hair 🤦🏾♀️ There isn’t enough CZcams help for relaxed hair in dry climates like Nevada and Arizona. Add Las Vegas hard water to the mix and you literally wanna cut it all off 😔
Hello. I’m a new subscriber. Do you take care of your own hair and only go to your hairstylist to get your relaxer? I apologize if you’ve answered this question.
Stephanie Gelera Hi Stephanie! No no - ask as many questions as you like. I go to a trusted hairstylist for my relaxers but GASP!!! Thanks to COVID-19, I relaxed my own hair today.
Thank you. My hair is relaxed but I don’t do my own hair. I would normally go to the salon once a week before the lockdown. I have only washed my hair 4 times since March 14th. I wear a long pixie so of course there’s new growth. What products would you recommend until I’m able to get to the salon. I’m California so it could be a few more weeks. Sorry for the lengthy message.
Try using a chelating shampoo. Like Mizani Phormula 7.
What does chelating shampoo do? Is that the same as a clarifying shampoo?
@@trawlins396 Chelating shampoo is able to remove deposits in the cortex layer. It leaves the hair clean from inside out. Clarifying shampoo cleans the cuticle layer, that is the top layer of the hair. Both are good, chelating once a month is better
what deep conditioner do you recommend after?
@@creshenoleopata1822 Redken's all soft or extreme line. MIZANI'S hydraphuse. The one that Dom mentions Joico moisture recovery balm. Soultanics has awesome deep conditioners too.
Thank you!
If u dont have a satin bonnet or a satin pillow case can u use a sticking cap ??
Shania Smith I stopped using stocking caps years ago. They caused creases in my hair - but they are better than nothing!
@@StyleDomination so it not wrong to use ?
@@shaniasmith6007 i use my satin scarf and put the stocking cap over it because my satin scarf always comes off lol
This journey is not only hard but frustrating. I'm honestly losing hope. Especially since my hair is very fragile rn and get tangled no matter what I do.
Adrianna I’m so sorry, Adrianna. Maybe going natural is an option if you’ve tried everything.
@@StyleDomination well I've recently rediscovered your channel so I'm going to follow along for a few months and look for improvements before I decide to switch.
Is it good to do rice water treatment pls
Nana Efya I’m not sure if it actually works...I’m not going to bother trying it.
Is it ok to use one brand one time and another brand another time. I usually use the same brand EVERY time
Rochelle James I like to stick to one brand - unless it’s not working for you. Always research the product and read the reviews! 🙏🏾
@@StyleDomination that's what I thought, thank you so much
I shouldn't say EVERY perm activator, the brand that I use
How do you 4:46 deep conditioning your hair 😢
PLEASE HELP: Is roller setting a form of heat styling??
To me it is not as harsh as a hot blow dryer . It is healthier for my hair.
Vanessa Kariuki It is, but it’s a whole lot safer than the others! I think roller-setting is a great way to achieve beautiful do’s without hurting your hair. Go for it!
@@StyleDomination Thank you so much. I was really curious
So if I’m going to the salon to get another relaxer, is it not normal for the hairdresser to comb out the relaxer to the ends of the hair after applying it to the roots first?
Karen Moise That is definitely NOT NORMAL. She or he should only be applying relaxer to new growth. The only time you apply relaxer throughout hair is if you are having a corrective relaxer
Olaplex is not in Jamaica... not yet I think.
Have you tried Amazon?
@@StyleDomination will I be getting the original though? I'm scared lol
Still on the hunt for a good moisturizing spray! Unfortunately S Curl made my hair feel like mush. D':
Omg isn't it too hydrating at times?
Mizani miracle milk is a good leave in condition
pats cookie yes 😟 I had to return it. It didn’t react well with my hair at all
Shanelle Webb Thanks I need to find some!
Wave Nouveau works good as well
Thank you for all the tips🥰💗
By the way, I way do everything to keep my hair healthy, but I don't understand why it still act like damaged: my hair gets tangles soooo easily. My washday is a nightmare, I prepoo, deep condition once a week, detangle wet or detangle damp or detangle dry, nothing works for me. I moisture and seal, do protein treatment once a month, put a satin bonnet at night. Nothing works, it still acts like it's damaged, dry and stiff.🤷🏽♀️😂
It grows. It's midback now. But taking care of it is so stressful ans exhausting.
My hair is like my ennemy😂 sometimes I just want to cut it all off.
Do you have an idea about what's doing wrong please?
Ps: I have fine strands hair
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 blesses!
i love you
Why not use rollers
Robin Nightfall Exactly, girl. I just don’t have the time for them...until now! I admit, I’m horrible at putting them in. I’m practising though! My stylist suggests roller sets all the time. I used to do them weekly back in the day. Miss those gorgeous curls!
They give the best curls
it's not cheap
Style Dominion, can I ask you if you've ever been fetishized because of your hair? And how do you deal with it, if yes?
Oh wow. I can say that I have not. I get fetishized for my skin colour though by men of other races ALL. OF. THE. TIME.
@@StyleDomination That's really disgusting, I can only imagine how you feel :( I'm sorry you have to go through that experience
