Please stop comparing relaxed hair and texlaxed or texturized hair. Moisturized and sealed is more compatible with texlaxed or texturized hair as I mentioned. I think a lot of people are discombobulated as it relates to what exactly is relaxed or texturized hair. Some of these CZcamsrs are misinforming us with a lot of information! One minute they are texlaxed and next they are relaxed! whatever to beat the algorithm I guess.....
The thing about relaxed hair is that you can't just moisturize and seal and leave your hair like that. Once you wet your hair, you must set it in a style . Be it a roller set, a braid out or a bantu knot out. You have to give your hair direction once it's wet or it will dry frizzy and feel brittle. Good video
Thank you Pat!
Great Feedback.
big facts
Girl, that's the same with natural hair too.
Its sooo true, def have to have a plan.
I think it’s about what works for the individual tbh. I’ve reached waist length thanks to moisturizing and dealing with a pea sized amount either everyday or every other day. If I don’t do it, my hair will be so dry and frizzy
Glad you found what works best for your hair. ❤️
👍🏾👍🏾
can you tell us more about your routine?
It’s the same with me. My hair never grew past shoulder length until I started moisturizing. Now it’s mid back
There is no one set rule to relaxed hair nor natural hair. Each individual hair is different. The key is learning what “Your” hair likes. Listening to your hair and how it responds when you try a new routine or a different hair product. Once you discover that stick to it and your hair will flourish!
Alicia Jones, thank you.😊
True words, I actually have a feeling that she was probably wetting her hair down completely with the moisturizer or has high porosity hair coz such have a bad reaction to too much moisture
Hair moisturizers are ok to use on your hair, the problem is that people tend to wet down their relaxed hair with the moisturizer, the moisturizer were never meant to be used in that way. If your hair is 100% relaxed then you are only to use a pea size and only when needed. However, if your hair is more dense then you might be able to use little bit more, but never ever use it to wet down your hair. I have been using moisturizer on my hair and it is doing very well. Moisturizer are only to be used when needed. If your hair do not need it at a particular time then do not use it. Please there no need to apply it everyday. I think moisturizers are good for any hair type I just think people need to learn the correct way to use them.
Thank you for your feedback. I guess we have to learn to use things in moderation.
Agree
Yes I agree. We cannot "wet our hair down" like i do my daughter who is natural. I make sure her hair is wet! On me I make sure it is MOIST! Not even "damp". Totally different! But M&S has totally changed my hair for the better - length, shine, thickness, shedding,
@ what moisturizer do you use?
You are so right. People are over using for sure! Even naturals are using way too much.
Girlie, you might be on to something! When I had a relaxer, I never did the traditional moisturize and seal. I would only use a hairdress- keracare or design essentials as my moisturizer once or twice a week. Sometimes I would use their oil as well just a tiny bit. My hair was never weighed down and I have fine low porosity hair. My routine was simple. Wash and deep condition with a moisturizing conditioner once a week, a protein deep condition once a month. A light weight water based leave in treatment, roller set, dry then wrap. Silk/satin scarf at night. Result was healthy colour treated hair below bra strap length. I believe if you are washing and deep conditioning weekly, then you don’t need the constant moisturizing and sealing.
Absolutely!!! Kar you are on point girl!! You know the deal. ❤❤🔥🔥🙌🏾
You really don't even need the deep conditioning unless your hair is damaged. I love this new simple hair routine I'm doing 😊
What protein treatment and water based leave in do you use?
My hairdresser told me to stop doing it too. She also said use a glosser. I was trying to take care of my relaxed hair like I did my natural hair. That was bad for my hair. Great information 👍🏽
Thank you so much!! You have a fantastic hairdresser.
I agree. I never self relaxed and had my stylist, but she retired. The more I moist and seal and stretched to 20-24 weeks the drier my hair and the shedding. I had a major set back and went to a stylist who specializes in relaxers. Told me to stop moisture and sealing, use serums: olive oil, carrot, or bio silk. She cut the dead hair about 6 inches. Healthy hair at collar bone length. I am through stretching past 12 weeks. My hair was always stringy, and all I did was wear it in bun. Not every one can do all that moist and seal. I have discarded all the oils , leave ins, protein sprays, and decided rather than buy all that stuff I go to her once per month.
I am so happy you found an expert that gave you the best advice and is also taking care of your hair. ❤❤😍😍
This is amazing how I went through the exact same thing with the exact same confusion!! Led me into a set back of hair that was dried out just like you explained and all the shedding! Ladiesss! We neeed to use CZcamsrs as a guide only. 4 years and many set backs later, I am back to my basics! And my hair is shining again for the first time in too long! With my staple ORS conditioner and sealing every other day with a serum or petroleum jelly! Yes! Petroleum jelly!! Let’s listen to our hair I’m glad people are clocking on to this 😄😄
Thank you for you feedback love. ❤️ 💕 💗 💖 🧡 . I am so happy to hear your hair is doing amazing!!!
This is a very interesting perspective and thank you for adding to the conversation. Just goes to show the level of detail that goes into hair specific products i.e. relaxed hair needing less everyday water than natural hair. Also a great example of what works for others might not work for you.
Thank you love. Glad I could share.
Thank you for this information!
You are so welcome ♥♥♥
This video is all ! Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome Joan. Thank you for watching!
I fully agree with this. I'm learning about my relaxed hair after having it natural for 4 years. My hair was going well until I started moisturizing it. Moisturized it about 1 hour ago and it just feels damp and dry.
EDIT: So right after watching this video I washed my hair (ran out of deep conditioner so unfortunately was unable to do that). I used IC hair serum blow dried on medium heat and flat ironed. Minimal shedding after that. Theres more i need to do health wise to curb more shedding but ... You've saved my hair BIG Thanks.
OMG!!!!! Melissa!!! I am so happy to read your comment right now. Glad I could help. Get the Crecepelo Deep conditioner I use from Amazon also. Let me know how you like it.
@@samminu I'll order it but it might take some time since I am not in the US.
@@Mizzm3l OOOOh Yeah. It will.
Girl, why am I just seeing this! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, I will definitely be giving this a try. :)
YAY. 😍😍
Great video. Thank you 🙏
Omg, i had the same experience with moisturizing and sealing. Thanks for the helpful info.
You are so welcome love. Glad I could help. ❤❤
Thanks for the video! I just relaxed my hair after about 10 years of being natural. I've been trying to relearn how to take care of my relaxed hair and started moisturizing and sealing my hair before bed...my hair feels awful. Apparently I've been using too much product. Practice makes perfect.
You got this Erin! Practice does make perfect. I hope my content will help you on your journey. ❤️🙌🏾
Using hair serum was a big game-changer for me. Thanks for the tips!
YAY. I am so happy right now!!! Whoop whoop
Great information! You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber 🎉🎊🎉
Thank you!!🥰🥰 And welcome.
That moisturizer is actually my holy grail lol it’s so crazy how everyone’s hair experience is so unique but I also don’t use enough to wet it I use a small amount
Haha. Different results I guess. ❤️
Same here and I looooove it!
This explains what I'm going through. I'm getting a serum immediately
I'm so glad I can help! Let me know everything goes.
God bless you and your family, you don't know how much you are helping with this video
Awww thank you!! I am so happy I can help. This really warms my heart. Thank you. ❤️🤗
I've just started my relaxed hair journey and happy to learn great tips.
Definitely trying this, I'm a minimalist so if I can do more for my hair with less, sign me up! 😊.
PS - Just found your channel (CZcams recommended it) and I love it! 🖤
This advice applies to my natural hair. I have finally realised it does not like water inbetween washes. If i do moisturise i use very little.
I also went back to grease and serums - no more breakage!
You are right it for natural or texturized hair, not relaxed.
I actually don't moisturize and seal. If I do anything I'll add a little oil to my ends. Moisturizing products always felt like I was wetting my hair. So I agree with this post! :-) M&S is not for everyone.
Totally agree. 🙌🏾❤️
I used to moisturize and seal my hair every day (with something else, not that ors stuff, I don't like the scent), then I started doing it every other and now I pretty much don't do it and I think my hair is healthier. I completely agree with you, I think youtubers have a good idea by telling others to moisturize and seal but I think its too much for relaxed hair
So true Alexandra! Moisturize and seal is a fantastic idea, just not for our relaxed hair. If I was natural I would do it.
ORS moisturizing lotion STINKS!!
Thanks for posting this video.
Thank you for watching love ❤️ 💕 💗 💖
Hmm... I honestly feel you are correct based on my experience. I've noticed when using CHI serum only that I have no breakage, but when using a liquid moisturiser, then seal that i see some breakage/hair in the sink. Also, i saw another video that stated to only use the CHI serum🤷♀️... So, you onto something here... I believe leave-ins, moisturisers and such are to be used probably after washing and conditioning the hair, but before you allow your hair to dry... From then on you only need a serum...
Absolutely Louelle. You got it! You can use your leave in, moisturizers and hint of argon oil of morroco when wet for blow drying. Then only use your serums.
This sounds like something to consider after my relaxer this week. Embarking on a new journey 🙃
@@krislatoya7556 Yes Kris!! Let me know how everything goes.
Are you talking about the “chi silk infusion”?
@@teairrawarner, yes I am.
Omg, it works on my hair, u have saved my hair, i am sooo happy 👍😊
YAY!!!!! I am so happy to hear that!!
I think this is great information! Your hair is SUPER SLEEK ❤❤! M&S does work great for me but I never "wet" my hair! Just a few drops on relaxed hair. On my daughter who is natural, I'll wet her hair down!
But I don't wear my hair as sleek as yours!
But I still found this video valuable because I think I will do this on the days i don't M&S!
Thank you Riana. I am happy that M&S works for you. I really love that you are willing to give the glossing polisher a try on the days you don't do M&S. Let me know how you like it. ❤️
Thanks for sharing, great video.
You are so welcome Mayra. Thanks for watching! ❤️🙌🏾
Like how you keep it real 💯 subscribed
Thank you love ❤️❤️
Thank you so much!!! I’ve always had my doubts about moisturizer on my relaxed hair…👠👠👠
❤❤. Definitely trust your judgement, you were on it.
It is about finding the right moisturizer that works for you. That moisturizer breaks my hair as well and I feel it is because of the ingredients which includes petrolatum which blocks moisture and makes the hair feel brittle and dry. I was on a roller coaster trying to find moisturizers that will not break my hair and I finally stumbled upon Asiam - the liquid and the cream, and they have been amazing (for my hair). Moisture, strength and health. I use hair polisher as well but to use everyday without moisturizing results in dry hair for me. What I have come to learn is that our hair is different and will respond differently to different products and treatments. I have very fine hair, but strange enough texlaxing or underprocessing breaks my hair like crazy. I have to use Super strength box relaxers to adequately straighten my hair for it to thrive. I however compensate by relaxing every four to six months so it doesnt look lifeless. But.. the asiam moisturizers (the asiam so much moisture and the double butter cream) have been game changers for my hair. I no longer have to be a product junkie; I finally found what works. I dont use the liquid everyday, only as needed but it works perfectly during my stretches. The liquid is not like water, it has a somewhat thicker consistency; the same moisturizer hairlicious uses. The cream I use every other day especially after relaxers. I think ingredients play a significant role in the way some products work. Mineral oil and petrolatum based leave in moisturizers break my hair so I avoid them altogether. These ingredients tend to prevent the hair from absorbing adequate moisture and results in product buildup and dryness. We just have to find what works for us on our hair care journey and stick with it.
I am super happy you found what works the best for your hair! ❤️🙌🏾
Omw you're very right. Most moisturizers have damaging hair ingredients hence the dryness and breakage. It's not that you're moisturizing. The ORS products have damaging hair ingredients - petroleum, mineral oils etc. I noticed their caster oil was making my hair very dry and one day I looked at the ingredients and it was drying ingredients - mineral oils. I threw out all of the ORS products. And starred using the African pride creme for moisture and my hair loves it.
This is something to try. I didn’t care for the moisturizing and sealing, but thought it was necessary for my hair to thrive. I’ve been experiencing some shedding (more than Norma I’m I think). I’ll see. Thanks for the video.
Yes try it out Sakeenia and let me know what you think. So sorry about the breakage you are facing right now. I have a video about "the reason your relaxed hair is shedding and breaking" on my channel also. I hope that video can give you some insights as well. All the best. ❤️
Great video 😍😍
Thank you beautiful!
Im going to try this method and see how my hair reacts. Thankyoh for sharing i appreciate different tips and perspectives to give us ideas on things to try and see what our hair agrees with
You are so welcome gorgeous. ❤❤💕💕💕
Update please, I would love to hear the progress or regress.
I think a lot depends on your hair porosity. I’ve noticed that most of the relaxed CZcamsrs who promote M&S have high porosity hair (so they need more moisture) and they primarily wear low manipulation hairstyles instead of straight hair. Therefore they don’t mind if their hair is weighed down a bit.
Relaxed hair does not have any porosity because it is chemically processed/change. I think that there is a confusion between taxlaxed and relaxed hair. That's the dilemma! You can't say you are relaxed, yet you have a lot of texture in your hair. Texlaxed or texturized hair can use the moisturized and sealed method.
Hi, how do you tell the difference between texlaxed and relaxed hair?
@@LexxieDivine Texlaxed is when you have texture or kinkiness to your hair. You can see it better when your hair is wet. A lot of times when relaxed your hair with an applicator bush at the first stage of a relaxer, many fail to go it after with a fine teeth comb before rinsing it out. Just using the brush doesn't help to fully relaxed your hair. Some people also, rush the relaxer step by rinsing it out too quick, I know they are trying to go by the directed time on the package, but you have to watch the hair to make sure it is fully relaxed. One day I am going to make a video on how I relaxed my hair.
@@samminu Porosity has nothing to do with texture. It's the hair's ability to absorb moisture/product based on the nature of your cuticles. Relaxed hair also has porosity/is permeable. Relaxers, dyes and chemicals actually make the hair shaft more porous because the protective cuticle is a little damaged/compromised. Just wanted to clarify that bit.
This is what I was thinking too. That's why most ladies on here tell you to do what's best for your hair.
I agree, excellent advice. Wetting and moisture does make your hair brittle and dry.
It sure does love. Thank you for your input Queen. ❤️❤️💕
I'm going to give this a try and review it on my channel.
I'm happy to hear that Vicky! It's life changing. I have to go check your channel out now and subscribe.
I use a liquid leave in spray instead of cream based moisturizers cos I have control on the amount of products I use . Then I seal it with serum. If I have too much new growth , I use leave in spray plus lighter leave in cream and top it up with castor oil on my new growth and serum on my relaxed hair . Hope this helps someone ❤️
Thank you so much Emmanuella ❤️❤️
I followed your advice and got the polisher and noticed a different. I will definitely keep using it from now on (why didn't l use it before 🙄) l will use hair lotions and creams when l protective style but that's it. Thanks for sharing what you learned it has definitely helped me A LOT!!
YAY...❤❤❤You are so welcome. Polishers are a game changer.
I got tired of my hair being weighed down so I stopped years ago. If my hair needs to be moisturized I'll use lightweight products like CHI total protect and Paul Mitchell skinny serum but it's not a routine. Great video!!
Thank you so much Kalisha! I need to check out those products you mentioned.
Thanks for this insightful video. I'm glad I already had a glosser oil in the back of my cupboard somewhere. Otherwise I'd be off to the shops tomorrow!😂 Also thanks for reminding us to do a treatment on our hair right after we wash out the relaxer. Don't go directly to the neutralizing shampoo guys! Do the treatment 1st (I use the Affirm 5-in-1 Reconstructor).
You are so welcome Riley! Yes go grab that glosser oil haha. The treatment before neutralizing shampoo is the best thing since sliced bread.
@@bkandy7165 It makes your hair extremely stronger, you will experience less shedding and breakage.
If you are gonna use the affirm 5-in-one reconstructer it would be best to use the affirm relaxer. FYI : For those who are thinking of using the reconstructer...try to use the same brand of products....it is just like using a shampoo, use the same brand conditioner as shampoo.
@@bkandy7165 I haven't. But I am open to try.
Oh my this makes so much sense because i was so confuse as to why my hair is breaking
Glad I can help love. It took me forever to realize what is happening. I wish you all the best on your relaxed hair journey. ❤❤❤❤💕💕
Hmm I thought I was the only one.... I don't like the heaviness of moisturizing and sealing either. I use a Rusk serum and it give moisture and shine minus the heaviness. When I cannot get Rusk I use Paul Mitchell. Great video!
Thank you! Yes too heavy.
Wow! Thank you so much! My hair was growing and flourishing it was off my shoulders but I have been following CZcams videos about moisturizing and sealing and my ends keep breaking and my hair was shedding soooooo bad . Everytime my hair grows I have to trim because it was just too much on my hair and I didn’t understand what I was doing wrong. My mom told me today I can not do that with relaxed hair and fine relaxed hair at that. just wash every week and deep condition. I have a serum here at home that
I only used on my wet and wavy wig. I will start to moisturize with that and make sure I am washing every week as well as protein treatments once a month. Thanks for the tips , can’t wait to maintain the hair growth now.❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome love. I can't wait for your new journey! All the best ❤❤❤
@@samminu thank you 💕💕💕
How has that been going for you ? Cause I’m currently having a lot of shedding cause my hair is over moisturized .. & do you really have to do it every week cause I was told dirty hair grows ?
@@Cammiereignn_ I did a big chop and I went natural. Natural is going so much better for me my hair just breaks with relaxer but everyone is different me on the other hand my hair just prefers it’s natural state
@@godsvirtuouswomen6849 with all theses do’s and don’t do’s I’m about to transition back and I just permed my hair this month 🤣
Good info. Moisture should come from the shampoo and deep condition process. Coconut oil prepoo will help with hygral fatigue.
Absolutely! Glad you are so insightful. ❤️🙌🏾
I think its about knowing what your works for your hair. I moisturise and seal my hair using a leave in cream conditioner and seal with hair grease. I have returned alot of length.
Thank you Carol. I am happy everything is working out for you.
@@samminu thank you.
@@samminu I was going through your video again and eventhough the "moisturizing and sealing" has worked for my hair ,I understand what you are talking about.
@@carolkamboyi2106 Thank you love. ❤ ❤ ❤ 💕 💕
Really appreciate the tip on doing protein treatment right after relaxing. Pls clarify if the protein conditioner should be added before using the neutralizing shampoo or after ??? Thx allot
Glad I can help love. I don't use a protein conditioner after my neutralizing shampoo. So after I rinse out my relaxer, I apply a protein treatment, then my deep conditioner. After I go in twice with the neutralizing shampoo, once with a moisturizing shampoo and finally a moisturizing conditioner.
People are using the wrong products to moisturize and seal.Oils do not moisturize,they coat the hair. The moisturizer is only good for roller sets that you sit under the blow dryer with. Glosser polish is great for wrapping,and heat protection. The best moisturizer is water and hair grease seals it in. Only a dab for each section.
Interesting!! Because different things work differently for each person... my hair is relaxed as well as fine strands, and always felt like many items are too heavy for my hair, especially this particular step! It's really a lot of trial and error.
Glad you found this insightful. All the best with your hair journey. Get those serums, and let me know what you think. ❤❤❤💕💕
Just came across your page and the title caught my attn. I'm glad I watched this because I thought I was tripping how my hair would snap when moisturizing and sealing but if I just used a leave in conditioning spray on wash day and use my oil and serums my hair had less breakage and was soft and shiny. This all makes so much sense thanks new subbie!!!
I am so happy you figured out this new remedy! It's truly amazing. Thank you for subscribing! 🙌🏾❤️
What porosity hair do you have?
I wonder if this rule is really for relaxed heads who use heat. Of course if you’re flat ironing or blow drying hair straighter on wash day you wouldn’t use a water based moisturizer. But if you air dry and plan to cowash more often I feel like it might be ok
I can definitely agree with everything you just said! Although the LCO (I have low porosity hair) method worked when I was natural my hair flourished, but not when I’m currently relaxed. My hair was so healthy & bouncy at first & then a few months later it was dry, brittle, and shedded broken hairs would always be all over the place when I would comb it, I didn’t understand because I always kept it moisturized. So one day I just decided to just wing it lol and stopped using leave-in conditioners. My current routine: wash & deep condition every 2 weeks and use a hair serum every other day when needed. My hair is finally back like it was before thank goodness!!! So you are most definitely making sense here. I’m going to start using protein treatments after washing out my relaxers before the neutralizing shampoo because that seems pretty smart too. Glad I’m not the only one now lol, it’s crazy how I was fed up and intuitively knew what to do for my hair health.💖💖💖
Tierra you are everything!!!! I was so in this moisturize and seal bull, that I didn't know I was ruining my hair. Yes try the protein treatment method it is life changing! Let me know how you like it.
This is amazing how I went through the exact same thing with the exact same confusion!! Led me into a set back of hair that was dried out just like you explained and all the shedding! Ladiesss! We neeed to use CZcamsrs as a guide only. 4 years and many set backs later, I am back to my basics! And my hair is shining again for the first time in too long! With my staple ORS conditioner and sealing every other day with a serum or petroleum jelly! Yes! Petroleum jelly!! Let’s listen to our hair I’m glad people are clocking on to this 😄😄
I have to agree that it depends on what products a person is using. I am currently natural and I both had super long hair with my relaxed hair. Now I’m natural for 5 years I still have super long hair. I really believe it depends on the products. Yes I did moisturizer my hair when I had a relaxer, but it moisturizer it once a week. So perhaps people need to understand what really works for their hair..
She is right I use moisturizer on my daughter's hair they are natural it works for them, I stop using moisturizer on my relax hair I use the old school hair grease and pink moisturizer.
Doesnt pink moisturizer still have the same effect as moisturizer? Just curious
Thanks for sharing - I've never heard this before but it makes sense to me...I've literally washed my hair yesterday so will practice the use of a polish/serum when needed instead 😃 How about using moisturiser on your new growth only and sealing with an oil? New growth will need love too no?
You are so welcome. For your new growth, do you stretch your relaxer? I feel like the moisturizer can make its way down the relaxer areas.
@@samminu hummm if you call 10 - 12 weeks stretching then yes! 🤣 I've tried 16 weeks and that's not for me. I end up losing more hair. But at 8 weeks I feel my new growth needs some moisture but then again in wash days I'll add as much moisture and oil to that area as necessary then just continue with oil in the new growth of required and see how that goes. Even good old hair grease on the new growth for pony tails should be ok. We shall see!
@@Zedmelia I only go 8 weeks, my friend recommend no more than that. But I would use just the oils on the new growth.
@@samminu briliant then - many thanks again! Xo
@@Zedmelia 😍🙌🏾. Anytime!
I have to agree with you because I also noticed that after moisturizing and sealing my hair, overtime it has become dry and brittle so I will definitely be using glossing polish to see if I have better results. Great vid!
I am happy to hear that you are willing to try out the glossing polish. Let me know how everything goes! 🙌🏾
@@samminu I will.
@@charmorac1124 ❤️🙌🏾
How did it go?
Love your videos. At present, I use the creme of nature argon oil treatment as my daily moisturizer. Do you think I should replace it with a glossing polish?
I tried looking up that product and I can find the specific one, is it a moisturizer? I see they have a argon oil polisher that you can use.
cremeofnature.com/products/argan/shine/argan-oil-treatment/ please check this link. I dont think this is the polisher.
@@natasha.77 Got it! This is perfect when your hair is wet and you are about to blow dry. I love to use to use a polisher to maintain my hair. If it is not heavy you can use it daily. But I do prefer a polisher to use daily.
@@samminu Thanks much. I will give the polisher a try.
@@natasha.77 You are so welcome Kenisha.
Soooo, would you happen to have a video that shows the correct/proper way to use hair glossing polish on texlaxed or relaxed hair?
I stopped moisturizing and sealing a long time ago. I don't own any moisturizers. I just apply a little serum on my hair before wrapping it at night.
🙌🏾❤️❤️. You got it! You are a Pro at this.
What serum?
Thank you for your info..Can I ask what did you use for your scalp?
Your'e are so welcome! I did a video showcasing what I use on my scalp and how I wrap my hair on my channel. It's called my relaxed hair nighttime routine. Check it out and let me know what you think. ❤️
Yes, it made my relaxed hair greasy and flat.
THANKS!
You are so welcome love ❤❤❤💕💕
You might have a point. My sister don't moisturize and seal her hair and she hardly has hair breakage. And I have all the fancy hair treatment and have breakage. I will give it a try. My only concern is that is recently put highlights on my hair, does that apply to relax hair with highlights.
Absolutely love, give it a try and let me know. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕

Hey love, sorry you are experiencing this. I know the feeling, give your hair a well deserved trim. Then do a deep conditioning and protein treatment. Maintain your hair throughout the week with a serum, try IC fantasia. Make sure to wash and deep condition your hair every week. Finally be gently when you are detangling, and make sure to wrapp your hair at night. Watch my night time hair routine video I recently posted.
Heeeyyyyy Chick.....thank you , noted with thanks. I am off tomorrow, so it's me and this crazy hair of mines. Girl with a husband and 2 kids plus a fulltime job sometimes it's almost impossible to get 5 minutes me time. Will do , thanks , have a good one sweetie and I,m looking forward for your next video. Can you do one on your facial skin care routine cause you have gorgeous skin as well . I know you search for the best that works through trial and error you get it right . I gave away alot of quack products myself .Your make up is light and perfect never over done. Stay well. 😊😊😊.
@@seanagill4775 You are too kind Love 😍😍😍. I definitely feel you on finding the time to do thing with a full time job and your family. I don't have kids yet so I can only imagine how ethic it is. Do want you can. I am working on my skin right now, i suffer from really bad hyperpigmentation. I have wasted some much money on skincare. I went to a dermatologist and it made it worse.😭😭😭. Horrible story, so now I am using Curology and others products. I am seeing major results. I will definitely do one as soon as am 100% at my goal. ❤❤❤❤
Nobody knows what works for their hair but the individual. Maybe some use too much others not enough. Everyone’s hair is different
Thank you for watching.
Thanks so much
You are so welcome ❤️❤️❤️
Bingo I knew I was not imagining things my relaxed hair hates water and water based moisturiser it loves oil more
Glad you figured it out!! 😍😍😍😍
Very Good with Hair polishers with my hair.....feels very silky and frizz free
That's so awesome love.
Pink oil moisturizer is the absolute best its the only thing that actually work's for me along with afrosheen
I'm happy to hear it works for you. Pink lotion is a staple in some people's routine.
When I was relaxed, I remember my hair loved Pink Oil too! Especially, living in a dry climate (Arizona). You really need to do what’s best for your hair. Not everyone has the same type of hair, live in the same climate nor will share the same results. So, it is nice to have a different experience in case you need to change your regimen.
@@jennifermccurdy5060 Absolutely. People should always do what they think is best for them.
You are my guardian Hairangel 😘
You are too kind!! Thank you love. Glad I could help. 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤
Everything in excess is bad, at the beggining of my hair journey my hair was very thirsty and damaged, needed to moisturize every other day, never had issues, but presently it is healthy so I only need it middle of the wash cycle...
That so true Maria moderation is everything. However since I have eliminated those moisturizer from my routine, my hair is thriving.
I do use these ORS hair lotion and jojoba oil to moisturize and seal (I’m relaxed) but I use a very very very small amount per four sections of hair and one drop of the oil on each of the four sections and my hair seems fine so far. 🤷🏽♀️ I have coarse, thick hair.
At first I thought this title sounded crazy and just had to watch, but this is an interesting perspective. I have thicker relaxed hair and often m&s, do my protein treatments, etc...but still notice shedding when I comb and also AS I'm m&sing!!! So you may be on to something🤔. I guess it's just whatever works for your hair at the end of the day 🤷🏾♀.
Absolutely! It's probably time to try something new and see what works.
I think you’re on to something, sometimes I don’t like using cream moisturizers on my hair when it’s dry because it’s makes my hair wet and I just don’t like the feel of it. I’m trying to see if I can find like moisturizing serums or like a hair butter like mango butter.
I’ll probably use the moisturizers that I have now as a leave in on wet hair.
Weights it down and makes it wet as hell, and have a weird texture. I just prefer a good leave in and maintain with a serum and I am good. ❤️❤️💕💕💕
My hair absolutely HATES oil!!! Ugh. I can only use it as a rinse out. I haven't "sealed" my hair in 2 years now
Glad you realized and stop using. I only love a deep hot oil treatment before my shampoo on my was wash day.
I just realized this like 2 weeks ago. I got so sick of damp, tangled, dry hair. I will buy popular moisturizers and moisturize and seal religiously, but my hair was still dry and breaking. Now, I just apply baby oil every other day and my hair feels great for the first time since I first went relaxed.
Baby oil????????
@@mialong2363 I know it sounds weird, but it works for me. After washing and conditioning, I apply a leave-in conditioner and Johnson & Johnson baby oil to my damp hair. In fact, throughout the week, I only apply a small amount of leave-in and baby oil to my ends.
@@beverlysimple411 well how's your hair doing because baby oil is new to me
@@Queen_Neo My hair is doing fine: I went from shoulder length to APL since I wrote my comment.
I mostly use baby oil on the day after wash days after my hair has gotten a chance to air dry. First, I divide my hair into four sections, then I massage my leave-in into each section, and then I follow up with a few drops of baby oil in each section. Finally, I braid my hair into four jumbo cornrows as an easy low-manipulation hairstyle..
@@beverlysimple411 I might have to try this thanks for the update and congrats on the hair❤️❤️❤️
I do M&S at times, but I mostly use serum. I thought it was just me that heard my hair snapping when I moisturised and sealed. I guess I was using too much.
Maybe just deep moisturize your hair and use the serum daily.
I will try I have the same problem
Yes try it out ❤❤
What products do you use on your scalp and how often do you use it
Hey love, I use curls blueberry & mint tea scalp treatment, crecepelo scalp treatment also carrot oil. I interchange between each products depending on my mood, but I use them everyday starting at the third day after my wash day routine. I love to let me scalp breath for two days before applying anything. Sorry for the late respond, I hope this helps. ❤️❤️❤️
Ive always been an hair lotion and oils here and there person but still struggled with dryness. I recently tried Tec Italy Heal Dimension spray and its great for moisture.
Glad you found the right product for you. Thank you for the product suggestion! ❤️
I have to agree.. i dont really M&S as much any more.. i use polish most times and my hair is fine.. i pre poo with african pride, DC weekly, use my spray leave in, air dry a bit add a light hairdress, wrap then use polish and thats it for the week ( i may add a touch of hair dress to my ends depending) till next wash day... i do protein treatments once per relax cycle because my leave in keratin based and thats my routine lol M&S left my hair weighed down and greasy
I love that!! I need to try pre poo and see how I like it. I love your weekly routine. What leave in do you use?
@@samminu i use Lottabody fortify me leave in spray and i use mizani moisture fusion DC 😍 and yes that pre.poo. is a game changer.. apply a plastic bag after applying for 15-20 mins then shampoo etc.
@@btac8528 Thank you, thank you!!! ❤️🙌🏾
What should I use to moisturise my dry ends texturised hair
Texturized hair can get away with moisturizers, just don't over do it, to prevent your hair from looking wet and weigh down. But if you stick with deep conditioning your hair every week and use a serum, you should be fine.
I am seeing more and more videos like these, but you can never argue with science
Thank you Rhonda!
New subscriber. I have relax hair. What do you recommend to put on n your hair nightly example: grease. Just getting some information. Thanks.
I use Proclaim Glossing Polisher and wrap my hair.
Thanks for subbing! ❤️
@@samminu I realize that my relaxed hair loves silicones. I had the same experience with breakage, using moisturizers.
@@marierey1196 Sorry you had to go through that.
What leave in conditioner do you use? Thanks
Currently Aussie miracle curls leave in. I am seeking out a new one though. I am thinking about getting the Keracare leave in conditioner.
Do you wet your hair before using the serum and polish?
Or do you just apply it on a dry scalp?
No I don't wet my hair, I apply it to my dry hair. I don't apply it to my scalp, just my hair. I hope this helps.
@@samminu It does, thank you.
@@KaydeeErryern Great!! 🙌🏾
Is it okay to use Chi Silk instead of the IC or Proclaim gloss/polish?
I have heard great things about it. never used it before. If you give it a try and let me know how you like it. ❤️❤️💕💕
After relaxer u wash out the relaxer do a protein treatment then deep condition and then wash your hair with the neutralizing shampoo???
Yes love, you got it!!
I have to keep getting perms because I don't want to go back to natural again. But I want my hair braided so that it can grow because I suck at wrapping my hair and don't really like it down
I understand. I miss braids. I have a video on my channel that I show you how you can wrap you hair easy. I think it’s called “what you should do to your relaxed hair before bed” ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please also see style Domination she too holds some great advice for RELAXED hair
Most definitely. Thank you love.
Please, which protein can l used on my relax hair thanks
Hey love I use Palmers Coconut Hair Oil Formula Protein Pack
Do you think cold curling your hair is a good way to protect your ends?
I never tried that method before, so I am not knowledgeable about it. Sorry. I just use my heat protectant and flat iron my hair once a week.
Now you've got me questioning. I've bought the Creme of Nature oil moisturiser and it is so very thick, I'm not a fan. I tried to use the tiniest of amounts. I do have an issue with dryness in the middle of my head so I've been trying to figure out what to do.
I am so glad my friend thought me this about moisturizers.Try any glossing polish you can find twice a day. Just make sure to wash your hair every week with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Use a deep conditioner and use your favorite hydrating leave in conditioning. Oh and don't forget your monthly protein treatment.
@@samminu Thank you for this as I am trying to build up a proper regimen. For 4 weeks after my relaxer, I use Design Essentials honey creme sulfate free plus the Almond butter conditioner mixed with Creme of Nature intensive conditioning treatment. At week 5 onwards to week 11, I use Design Essentials honey creme sulfate free shampoo, Aunt Jackie's in control conditioner & Creme of Nature intensive conditioning treatment mixed with coconut oil and olive oil. Week 12 is relaxer. I mainly deep condition after shampooing. I'm trying to incorporate the monthly protein treatment as that will be quite new to me and try out a new leave in conditioner. I have used Creme of Nature sulfate free shampoo too. I'm really trying to just revamp.
@@krislatoya7556 Nice! I love your routine. That Design Essentials Almond Butter Conditioner is on my Relaxed Hair 2021 wishlist, I made a video on it. Great choice! For leave in I use Aussie, for protein treatment, I use Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Protein Pack. I have a video too of my wash day routine on my channel, if you want to check it.
@@samminu After my relaxer in the city on Saturday, I'll visit the beauty stores and see what's available. Some product lines that I'd like to try such as Mielle can't be found here in Barbados.
@@krislatoya7556 Sorry about that, let me know everything goes. I hope you find everything. I heard about Mielle, but I haven't tried. I am gonna read up on it.
I hear You loud and clear
❤️❤️💕💕
Can I do the same thing for colour treated relax hair.
Absolutely love.
Good stuff! I don't believe moisturizing & sealing is necessary for relaxed hair. I use light oils or a serum.
Thank you. I wish I knew earlier!! I had no clue. what serums you love using?
Design essentials botanical oils & Paul Mitchell skinny serum
@@ms.nikollbenford9231 Thank you, i am going to research those.
