- Hey guys! How are y'all doing? I FINALLY RELAXED MY HAIR, this has been one of the things i have always wanted to do but i have been putting it off because i wanted to be on the natural band wagon even though i was literally suffering, natural hair journey has been a toxic relationship.
I hope you guys enjoy this video as much as i enjoyed creating it.

relaxed hair relaxer routine relaxed hair routine relaxing my natural hair natural to relaxed relaxer day relaxer regimen
I just did it after 10 years! I feel free. Watching all the natural to relaxed videos now
I’m contemplating it has been for about a year . I have 4c hair and when I do a twist out as soon as the humidity hit it “ poof “ I’m tired of pony tail puffs and when I go out I can’t style my hair . I don’t do wigs and braids take out my edges .
💁🏽♀️I relaxed after 7 years & I feel free at last. No more 8 hour detangling sessions, constant breakage/shrinkage & same 2 styles (twist outs/puffs). WHEW now I'm swinging these silky inches! 🥳
how long ago did you switch to relaxed?
@@silu5061 April 2020. During the lockdown. I think when we were natural we learned alot about our hair to be able to care for relaxed hair. I stretch my relaxers every 4 months & do protein treatments often & my hair is thriving! 😊
Omg the 2 same damn styles!! I felt that one lol im so tired

Do you sis! Enjoy your hair. Welcome to the relaxed hair community 💕
ive been through both relaxed and natural and in the end I realized im not going to have my hair on my mind when I go to the grave so just live it up. Enjoy that hair however you want.
What do you mean by this comment, what are you trying to get at?
@@hmm7895 meaning when I die my hair will be the least of my concerns so just enjoy it and not stress over it
If you do feel when you die nobody’s hair will be your concern, why mention it? Why imply that it may not be the best decision? Reference: your mention of it not being on your mind when you die, yet still feeling the need to mention it in a way that implies it’s not a wise decision. Your comment struck me as quite ironic.
@@hmm7895 Im not talking about other peoples hair i was talking about my own hair and that I shouldn’t stress over it since I won’t be stressing over it when I die. So im just gonna enjoy it.
@@hmm7895 definitely sounded like she was referring to her own hair, not anybody else’s
You’ve got to do what makes you happy at the end of the day.
The reality of it is natural can be inconvenient
Your comment really made me feel better. I’m considering relaxing my hair right now
@@africiawright1396 did u? I’m considering right now😭
@@Kenxdrea I did it! If you wanna message me on insta I can send you a pic
I just bought one yesterday
Me having new born I need to change my routine
It's becoming time consuming
Wait what? After 9 years and still that length. Abeg lemme go and relax mine of 14 months. I've tried
LOOOL
Yeppa goo lol 😂 I beggg ooo
My hair stubborn die 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Kill me again
Nothing like a fresh relaxer honestly it feels so good 😭😫
That’s Right! Do You. I am texlaxed and happy with it. Being completely natural for some ican be a real struggle....not to mention time consuming, especially for me having fine 4c hair. You should only please yourself. Everyone’s hair is different.
True 🤲🏼🤲🏼
hey girl. My hair is 4c...I haven't relaxed my whole head since I was about 17, I am now 39 and have been wearing sew ins for the most part of the past 20 years(was completely antural for about a year 5 years ago) and I have now decided to relax my hair this coming weekend. I am done with the pain and expense of extensions. My hair needs to breathe and I am done with the headaches. I cannot wait
Im relaxing mine tomorrow. Its been 2 years. Tired of it. My natural hair isnt turning out how I want it too.
YASSSSSS I'm glad I found your video! I am 7 years natural and I'm sooo tired of all the long hours! Its too much time out of my life that I can do other things! I just purchased my boxes of ORS!
Girl just do your thing. Don’t need to explain nothing to nobody!
I had to move it forward
It’s length retention that you need to learn as our hair, precluding health reasons, is always “growing”
You're right our hair is always growing. To long hair it's all about retaining length. I'm trying to reach tailbone length by 9/2023. I keep my hair in protective styles most of the time and that's one of the ways I was able to reach waist length.
I was natural for 19 years and went back to a relaxer. I just couldn't manage it as it got longer. I don't have time for long detangling sessions and my 4C had was so knotted I had to cut them out. I couldn't retain length. My hair type does better when very short.
😩😩😩 should I relax my hair too ,, cause I can relate to the scalp pain and all the stress growing natural hair
The stress is just too much 😭
Only if you’ve done everything you could, tried everything you could afford, and still found it to be a pain or hassle. Her hair was under wigs and she wasn’t taking proper care under the wigs (leaving it in for months at a time), that’s why her hair seemed like it wasn’t growing. It was breaking off just as fast.
Maybe being natural isn’t for you and that’s still fine. Just take care of it to keep it healthy.
I definitely agree with you, I also want to relax my gair
That period when you feel like it's not growing
I relaxed mine. Do what’s best for you. I NEVER had issues when I was relaxed back in the day. I only went natural because that was the wave and I have regretted that decision. I love relaxed hair .
I just want my wrap back! Natural for about 10 years and I'm kinda over it too. My hair does good with a light relaxer 3 or 4 times a year👋❤️
I am thinking about relaxing too since my hair isn’t growing. I have been natural 7 years it’s still not hanging down like I want it.
Maybe you need to cut the ends and moisture and massage you're scalp. I also recommend using oils w protective styles like cornrows or braids (: just a tip
I recommend doing a detox no oils no butters no moisturiser except water. And stretch your hair heatless
Hair is always growing. You're just not retaining the length....
I am actually still in love with my hair afro hair...and no lie i am still in honeymoon stay lol and the thought of relaxing hasnt evevn crossed my mind and during the whole lockdown cuz of corona i literally learned a lot about my hair and girl if you want to relax its a personal decision and if it makes you happy aint nobody who got a say
Then you will one day realize, it’s just hair.
I just relaxed my natural hair yesterday... it feels like I’m bald headed lol. But the length ......it’s an ok length, at my collar bone. Im going to start taking Fenugreek, hibiscus, and green tea mix and incorporate into my hair regime to get my hair longer faster. But thanks for the video, new subbie
Ya! I intend to start serious treatment now that i have relaxed my hair...at some point my natural hair started cutting alot...i lost alot of length after relaxing becauae of breakage from natural hair...I am free indeed..
Contemplating relaxing my hair and I just needed motivation. The hair's just so stubborn and not growing and tiring
Finally relaxing my natural hair of 11 years
Exactly how I felt when I did mine, first hairstyle I did was a ponytail 😂
lol lol I just came from your previous video after dropping hot tips😂. Enjoy your new hair journey b
Forget the hair how is your skin so flawless 😩
Just thank God for relaxer
I swear 😂😂
You’re so beautiful girl😍😍😍. I’m here from tiktok
Lawd I just relaxed and cut my hair into a pixie after 5yrs… I almost cancelled my appointment… I was close to crying… I’ve always been an “it’s only hair” girl… Idky I was so stressed🤣🤣🤣. I love the new look… honestly I might stay this was for a while. Short and relaxed has always been my favorite.
New subscriber looking forward to your relaxed hair journey ❤️❤️
Yes yes
Can’t wait to share moving forward 💃🏽
2 more days…. I’m relaxing after 5 years natural and I can’t wait! Relaxing so I can relax! I can’t even imagine not spending HOURS on a hairstyle that is gone after 5 mins of humidity! And the detangling 🙄 my 4c hair tangles if you look at it wrong.
Glad I found your video. I have fine 4C hair and have been natural for over 10 years and my hair is and has been healthy, but does not want to grow past a certain point. For those who say to trim it regularly, at a certain point you’re trimming the knots and split ends every 3 months. It’s insanity, especially when you’re keeping your hair protected.
I just gave this dream of have the relaxed hair cut like Halle berry & Nia Long senior year of college so I have about a year before I switch back over to relaxers. I need to practice hair care more.
Still trying to decide whether I should relax my hair or not. I’ve been natural since 2016
It’s been a whole decade for me and now I’m heading back
Say bye to my natural hair my mom is going to cream it bc i hair is not knotty and combing it out it always hurt
I just relax my hair 2days ago,I had mine for 4years n my hair is long
Finally!!😁
💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
This popped up in my recommended, is this a sign or something lol
It may be 🤣
Do it Sis! Get those silky inches!🌹
You don’t take care of your ends that’s why it’s not “growing” retaining length. Keep up with trims and moisturize, your hair will flourish.
It wasn't growing at all. Mine is 3 years and longer than yours. Anyway I'm going to relax my hair on Saturday.
I love your hair its cute!! I am getting my relaxer today .. At first I was not going to do it becuz I've been natural over three years now so but I'm going 2 do it. Love your video.. Great job!! Happy 4 you
Mmeso convinced me to do this natural hair thing and here you are😅
I was the one that convinced her but here I am 😂😂😂
@@BabsAmara I have mine still tho. But omo this thing is painful 🤣
I am so tempted. No matter how much it grows, when my hair is wet it goes down my back halfway but when it’s dry it’s shoulder length 😩 like is it ever gonna fall or is it always gonna shrink to my shoulders lol
Same but do the twist outs it shows you're real hair length lol the shrinkage is real. Just a tip (:
I thought that it would be longer also. When she stretched her afro with her hand it seemed longer than it is now after relaxing.
Me too 😢
If you want length you don’t relax it instead you flat iron it. I learned the hard way :’(
You're going to be cute whether you're natural or relaxed, so do you! Enjoy! And if you don't like it you can always go back!
The introduction song♥️♥️😍
Sis I need one too
I’m gonna relax. My hair doesn’t drive natural because I don’t have time or energy to take care of it and I just don’t love it
Yes you should do whatever makes you happy and comfortable you. Do it you only live this life once. Just a tip (:
@@4layianorwood80 I actually did it a month ago, and I have absolutely no regrets, taking advantage of the relaxed CZcams community to learn how to take good care of it, I am enjoying my hair so much now, and I see much less shedding and breakage. I think I made the best choice for me!
can you show us what it looks like wet styled without heat -
No. This isn't about yall.
😍😍😍😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
i did it after 15 years
RIP your natural hair sending hugs and flowers to the old scalp , it is well
Free yourself sis🥰
😂🤣
I don’t know if you’ve ever gotten this but you literally look South African sis, your accent really caught me off guard 🤍😂 I lovvvvee the results 😍😍
I thought she was American until I heard her accent!
What is she
I mean where?
Amara you are so pretty
Thanks love ❤️
It looked like you were in bondage 😂🔥
I was my dear 😂
Jus came from watching yur wash day routine and 3 months old cornrow take down. The way you combed the braids out clearly shows that you weren't really taking care of your hair properly... Yur hair probably was growing but you probably weren't retaining the length correctly... You can have natural hair and still get styles that relaxed hair persons have, but as you said natural hair isn't for everybody 🤷🏾♀️.....lol I now have locs cause I was tired of dealing with my 4c hair as well and ik I wanted to have locs some time in life.
FREE AT LAST!! Now I can live my life and bye bye to those long ass wash days!!!!!
You are so beautiful 🥰
Aww thanks 🙏🏾
I can't hear her
It’s cute!! Lady’s you must remember what relaxers do to the brain 🧐
Babs ur girlfriend is so pretty
Aren't they married now?
Harriet we lost one👩🏾🌾
Don't tell me you let a white person relax your hair😒?
Are you stupid? Watch the video lmaoooo
what does race have to do with anything
After six years! Am doing it next weekend,am so tired,my hair is so full,I can't style it without my shoulders and back hurting.
Me too. & forget about gathering it into a smooth, flat ponytail/bun
