Hi my loves! Finally filmed my relaxer update🥰 let me know if you have any other questions 🤍
Hii kamsi, the link to the relaxed hair video isn’t working
What mild relaxer brand can you recommend. Thank you
I am a Natural hair content creator and I will like to point out that it’s possible to have a healthy relaxed hair…. As long as you are moderate on the chemical usage. The goal is to care for your hair whether natural or relaxed.
Thank you
Thank you for saying this.
Nope! Anything chemically altered to that extent is by its very nature of being unnatural, unhealthy
Yes, the goal is to care for the manufactured hair so it doesn’t break, but that doesn’t mean it’s healthy! That’s like saying weave is healthy. It’s over. All you are doing is maintaining it
a wig/weave is not hair that is still attached to a human scalp and still alive. So the comparison don't make sense.@@deealia2568
I have been relaxing my hair nonstop from the time I was 9 years old. I will be 56 next birthday. I have a full healthy head of hair. I have never worn braids or wigs. I relax my hair every 8 weeks. I wash my hair every weak and deep condition every other week. I take a regimen of vitamins and I eat healthy. I also get regular trims. I have absolutely no problems with my hair. Its cheaper to maintain and less fuss. My mother had it relaxed because I had plenty thick hair and she has problems combing it. At the start of menopause I had breakage and I just cut it into a shorter style until grew back out. There is no debate about relaxed or natural. You just have to do what is right for you.
Did you have cancer or fibroids coz that's what is scaring me
How often do you trim? I think that’s one thing I don’t have down. I prefer my hair relaxed.
Thank you!
Girl I had such a deep sense of relief when I relaxed my hair. Natural hair took so much from me. Had it for 10yrs.
I can imagineeeee. Tbh I feel like I am gonna relax my hair or just cut it and dye it different colors because natural hair is just a lot. Do this, do that. I really don't have patience for it tbh. It's beautiful quite alright and all but abeggg
I permed my hair last week after being natural for about 5-6 years. I feel so relieved
Chile I cut all this sht off after 15+ years of being natural; I needed my Sundays back lol 😆
I want to relax my hair with the Avlon relaxer, But I'm scared my hair might fall out or I might get cancer...I'm bored of natural hair...What do you think I should do?
Me too, too much work. My stylist texlaxed mines on Saturday ❤️
This is a good conversation to have - not being a slave to fake hair whether you're natural or relaxed.
This. I really hate having weave in, especially since my dry 4c hair grows dandruff too easy, but two strands kinky twists are the only ways to keep my hair manageable
A relaxer makes your hair more manageable!
I relaxed my natural hair last year after 3years and am happy i did. It makes your life so easier, easy to comb and style.
And cheap
I love this video because I was overwhelmed with wearing wigs and even more overwhelmed with wearing my hair out because I couldn’t seen the beauty in MY OWN HAIR. It’s a journey so I hope my confidence grows out more as I do it.
I was the same. I found confidence when my natural hair hit a certain length then I loved how it looked. Keep growing it out. I always felt self conscious in wigs it’s not for me x
As a natural hair content creator, I have to say people are honestly so different. When I was relaxed, I always had my hair ‘done’ because I was bored of the constant ‘packing style’. Now I’m natural, I have sooo many styles to explore and i rarely get added hair even when I style it. But my norm 70% of the time is THE PUFF! Yes girl😂 I’m over here puffing my whole life away! Lol but really everyone is different, just do what works best for you and enjoy the journey. ❤
Yes I would never ever relax my hair. The volume yassss!
My 4c is easy to manage. I shampoo it like 3x a week
My 12 yo daughter has hair just like yours... what do you use to keep it so bouncy looking lol
@@tmcurly3 times a week?
@@osamedennadi6309The myth of black women not washing our hair 3-4 times a week is why black women have trouble retaining length. Our hair follicles clog and we consider it normal. It’s not. We should be washing our hair WAY more than we do.
@@Justsomebodyelse235 interesting.
I used to be relaxed my whole life and decided to go natural during Covid lockdowns because I felt adventurous 😂
Now I don’t really see myself going back. I feel like relaxed hair is pretty high maintenance too because you always have to keep up with the relaxer touch ups and make sure to find a way to keep your hair from shedding excessively(which I was not good at 😅) I’m honestly more of a lazy natural, just wash my hair once every 1-2 weeks and leave it in a protective style. That’s what works best for me. At the end of the day, relaxed or natural you still need to make some kind of effort in taking care of it. Just do what’s best for you 😊
Knowing what you want is where it all starts from! I also agree that this sleek and laid-back style complements you so well 😍.
plss not the indomie lmao. i am glad you've found what works for you, Kamsi. as someone who has also found "their hairstyle" within the last year, i am an unofficial advocate for doing whatever tf you want. people will always have something to say. i have and LOVE my buzz cut and some folks (including family sometimes) won't stop asking me where my wigs are. let's all just do what works for us jare
Relaxed or 4B/C hair, they’re all natural.
It’s from “Your” roots. I think what should be more important is that your hair is healthy💯
I’ve watched you slay your relaxed hair and can’t dare to hate, it’s a great compliment to your look and aesthetic, I love it🙇🏽♀️❤️
Awww thank youu🤍
I agree with you wearing your regular hair in a simple style is perfect....you look beautiful ❤
Omg, you look absolutely stunning! I intend to relax my hair in a few months and saw your relaxer video. Thank you for the update. Great to see you so happy with your hair. Very inspiring.
Loved this video. relaxed hair is so comfortable and stress free. Made the best decision relaxing my hair ❤️
I love that you mentioned about the comments of “having your hair done” I love wearing my own hair in a low bun and feel my most beautiful that way! We are able to
Show our features! And you look beautiful with your hair like that! ❤
Relaxing my 4C hair was the best thing that happened to me! 5months since I relaxed my hair and I have not put any extensions or worn a wig, just enjoying my hair and styling it however I want and it looks so good on me and ppl say it looks gorgeous as well! My life is def easier now for sure and no regrets!
Happy for you🤍
Whew….. Im so closeee
Has it grown more?
What relaxer did you use? I am thinking about going my to relaxers
@@ItsjustKey I used Mega growth. It did the work.
Love love the new background kamsi and you rock your hair so well, as long as it’s not illegal, do what works for you always💕 💕
I’ve never been natural but I looove my relaxed hair so much, I can’t imagine my life without it. I do believe natural hair is beautiful and would love to consider it at some point though. Your hair is thriving by the way 🤩😍💗
I love your sitting room background sha
It gives a relaxed vibe
Love and enjoyed this video.. Thank you for sharing, the new background looks very pleasant. Have an amazing rest of your week kam 💜
I love your honesty Kamsi and appreciate your transparency!!! Hair is beautiful either way, and I am relaxed as well. Was natural 6 years and was very unhappy and too time consuming. I love being relaxed again and I am NEVER going back natural lol
Love the new background! The hair really suits you ❤
I relax my hair 2-3 a year. I even use natural hair products to still take care of my hair. My hair grows really well and fast.
I think most people should get to know their hair type (not just 4c kinda thing ) but how fast you hair get dry, your scalp etc.
I do twice a year as well. I use natural hair products too. I'm almost at mid back length. Relaxed hair grows too. Retention is key
Love the new background! Amazing video Kamsi.
I relaxed my natural hair last year and its the best decision i've made. I don't regret it at all because its alot easier for me to manage and manipulate my hair now.
I'm able to do more styles. I stress less about how my hair looks. There's more versatility. Its just so easy!
At the end of the day just do what you want with your hair and keep it healthy.
So true, big emphasis on stressing less
I love your hair Kamsi, it's giving hair goals for me☺️
Your hairstyle compliments your beautiful skin and features. You look amazing
Oh my gosh Kamsi! You hit the nail on the head. I used to never carry my actual hair out and always hid it under wigs. My hair wasn’t healthy back then but I started educating myself and being intentional with my routine and my hair started thriving.
I started wearing it out more and that’s when I observed that Nigerian ladies and men alike think it’s awkward for you to not have any extensions. I remember someone once asked if I never “made my hair” for religious reasons.
I was like haaa!!
😂😂 real haa o
Same experience here. I just ignore people's thoughts and opinions
Everyone is convinced I'm Muslim cos my hair is never out...how do I explain aloe and clove water under a shower cap to people 😂😂
I’m 48 and my “hairstyle” since high school has always been a bun or ponytail too. It compliments my face the best. Even when I wear wigs it’s in a low bun or ponytail.
Thank you for your confidence as a relaxed girly, I as a guy enjoy even my hair relaxed but I took in so much information i live for it. Bout to relax my hair today 😂
I have fine 4c natural hair, and wearing my hair everyday in sleeked looks is very doable. People ask me a lot when I’ll get my hair done, but my hair hates protective styles, and I don’t even love them either. Sleek looks give me the confidence I need. I’m literally getting my hair done everyday, so what are they saying fr 🤣.
I love my natural relax ponytails that’s my signature . It’s so timeless and classy
Love the detailed wardrobe doors😍
I was contemplating stopping relaxers as I have only had 2 starting last year and want to be healthier but the maintenance involved and how I just want to look DONE out the shower very minimal work involved has me reconsidering 😀
I love your videos Kamsi you inspire me so much, a new youtuber subbie❤
Loving the new background 😍😍
Wow, contemplating relaxing my hair and this shows up❤❤
🥰
Also, yes to the new background. The wood used to reflect your light sources. This is really lovely
Thank youu
@@kamsinnamani ♥
Your favourite hair style is my favourite hair style on myself too. The bun just brings out all the beautiful features.
Ikr🥹
This is really lovely!!! Can you please do a video on the real effects of Edge control 😊
Kamsi, please preach!!!!!!!! Why can't I appreciate my hair? Why is it seen as “not being done”?
Your hair is beautiful, whichever way you choose to flunt it. It'll still be beautiful. And you're looking real good here.
I love this new background 😍
Yes girl, I love your attitude you definitely motivated me to go through with it today. I am running to the store to get my perm
Babyyy your teeth, your smileee I love it❤🥹
Love your videos even more!❤️
Thank you so much 🙈
Thank you Kamsi. I hate the school of thought that your hair must be braided or under a wig always as an African woman for your to be beautiful. I noticed you always wear your natural hair more and I love that. Once my natural hair grows and I can pack it into two or one puff, I'm done with wigs.
100k coming hun🎊🎊
Wow, I started this journey at the beginning of the year and my hair has grown so well, and for a while I received such harsh comments that relaxing your hair is not natural. I'm happy that you encouraged me once again to continue. Thank you so much Kamsi.
🤍🤍
First one here 🎉
I’ve had relaxed hair all my life but never use to wear it out. But after seeing you girlllll, ponytails have been the order of the day for me for the past couple of months. If I’m trying to be fancy, I add a detachable ponytail 😅
Awww so happy to hear🥹🤍
Honestly I can’t wait to relax my hair. I have such thick natural hair which really overwhelms me these days, limited hairstyling and what not. I want to leave my hair out more.
No truer words have been said about relaxed hair. Unfortunately I’m currently struggling with mine and I haven’t found a way out yet, I hope I do soon. It’d be nice if you can share your routine in a separate video😁
She has spoken what has been on my mind of late😂. My hair is done if I’m on my natural hair period😌💅.
I can relateeeeeeeee oh my! I can so relate to that feeling of bondage. I really am not one who has the time to care for my hair and natural hair requires just so much care. Anytime I loose my hair, I have to quickly make a bew hair because caring for natural hair is just a lot. I have full hair and so I can't decide to just leave my hair packed when it's natural and it's so annoying
When I was still on relaxed hair, I leave my hair for 6months before I relax again so I just relax my hair just twice in a yr. It helped me retain lenght. But I notice my hair was shedding too much at a time so I decided to go natural
Your hair is giving.
I remember when you decided to relax your hair
I was like oops I hope the outcome will worth it.
But now seeing your hair on relaxed
I.must confess I think I love it more🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank youu 🥰
The makeup though 🤯👏🏽
I really admire your hair anytime i watch your videos thanks for the tips you dropped about growth.
I just reverted back to relaxed mode today! Almost 4 years to the day I done the big chop. April 2020 while I was locked down. So I’m not really sure if I did it because I really wanted to or because I was bored to death. Nevertheless I was over it. I enjoyed my natural curls, but it was so hard to keep it moisturized and managed, especially as it grew out. When I was rocking the TWA, it was lovely, but as soon as it started to grow and got some length, it took me longer and longer to get ready for work. Then I felt that I was always trying to slick it down. It’s like why do I having natural hair if I’m always trying to do a slick back? I feel so much better and I’m happy. Thanks for the comforting confirmation ♥️
Thank you this video gave me the push I need :)
It’s GIVING! 😍
Thank you so much for this video,i have a full on 4c thick natural hair that everyone seem to love and i do too but that ish is painful.. For my bday next month I'm letting it hang loose..i cannot wait..And thank you soo much for your tips,i will definitely be taking note😉🤗🤗
Relaxed my hair last week after 2years of being natural.... Best decision ever ..
road to 100k, im so gassed 4 youuuuuu
🥹🤍
It’s the “the ponytail that doesn’t belong to me” for me 😂😂❤
You do you kamsi
I was relaxed before now I’m natural
How is it?
Does you hair grow more when you go natural or when it is premade
@@baggyjeans_reese well I’m just 1 yr 5month natural and it’s giving 4c length
Depends on how fast your hair grows. Mines slow
omor the quality of this video 🔥🔥🔥
Thank youu
I’ve really enjoyed watching this video.
We shed on average 80-100 strands daily. As you mentioned in your video, you wore your hair 90% of the time in protective styles. Therefore, it was hard for you to notice the shedding.
it's interesting that you get comments on your hair not being 'done'. it's been the opposite for me. since my relaxer in Jan 22, I keep getting compliments on how beautiful the hair looks, how it's made me look more mature etc. people will always have weird opinions lol
Lol really…I get compliments but then followed up with when I’m doing my hair🤣
@@kamsinnamani Lmaoo we can never win😭😩
Totally agree!! My hair grows better and much faster when relaxed! 💯
✨Lowkey love the new background, very simple and very Kamsi if that makes sense but yeah you gerrit😂☺️
Thank youu Susan 🥰 not done yet though
And you look beautiful! I'm thinking about it as well...my hair has a great length and I'm a little nervous.
Notification geng 😁. I relaxed my hair a month after yours. Thank God I'm loving it the way you are.
Awww yay twinning🥰
10 weeks is apt for a touch up. Keeping it in protective styles helps to achieve the stretch periods.
Girl do You!
in the last 4 years ive gone through natural to microlocs , last weekend i cut of my locs (big chop) i want to grow my hair out this time straight and ill be "heat training" its a great alternative to relaxer
I asked Bae today, remember kamsi that my favorite CZcamsr and he goes…. How can I forget, you drum her name in my ears 😅😅😅 go girl I am always rooting for you. You made me start my CZcams channel and I love my growth so far. Thank you ❤❤❤
I can relate. That's how my sister won't let me rest. Everytime kamsi, kamsi, kamsi. I tire...I'm sha here😅
Aww thank youu🥹 and congrats on your channel
@@Joanloveikani kamsi has an effect on people❤️🥰🥰
@@kamsinnamani Thank you Sis🤎
do you recommend doing protective styles like braids after 8 weeks?
I know exactly what you mean. Im about to relax my hair after 2 years of agony. I understand the bondage part. Im wearing MY hair from now on
We need a hair care routine and tips
Not the shade at indomie please 😂 The slick back hairstyle fits you alotttt and it has this clean look
I use to be a relaxed hair girl right from childhood,but I decided to go natural for change of look, something different I guess, sometimes it can be a lot when managing, but I love it though, I enjoyed the video btw ❤️
I’m going back to relaxed hair. I’m tired of knots and tangles. Relaxed hair is more manageable
Thank you, great video
Hi Kamsi! I love how honest you are and I completely agree with you on the sentiment of people thinking my hair isn’t done when it’s simply slicked back. I’ve been contemplating relaxing for yearssss because I usually wear my natural hair pressed straight or in a slicked bun and I love wearing my hair out. I know you can have great hair while relaxed but I find it difficult to find salons that can apply lye relaxers professionally. Can you please make some semi-affordable recommendations in Lagos?
Hairitage and tasala 🤍
Kamsiiiiieeee ❤
It looks good slick back. Beautiful
Thank you very much Kamsi😍
💃 been waiting
I don’t get people who tend to judge people with relaxed hair😅. It is still the hair that grows from the roots of your head 😂❤.
Kamsi yooo💞🥰
Almost at 100K🎉🎉🎉🎉🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️been here since 40K..
Same I got tired of the natural hair it was painful . Wish I kept videos of my natural hair to relaxer journey 🥺🥲
Definitely agree with all you said
I’m a relaxed hair girlie and I’m in the cornrows and throwing on a wig phase cause I’m trying to stretch that relaxing hair date
By the way love the new background ❤
Been braiding my hair as soon as I undo it. I want to relax as well so as to enjoy my natural hair.
And keeping a natural hair routine is a struggle
Just follow what works for you girl.
I never had a relaxer before only flat iron it so I m a straight natural . I been thinking to try my first relaxer
I like this background a lot!
Oh my goodness… I absolutely love wearing my hair in a pony tail pulled back. I get the same bs about doing my hair… I don’t like how I look with weave or wigs and I don’t like wearing my hair down all the time🤷🏾♀️
It’s a lot of work being natural and my wash days drain me! It’s such a strenuous process. I’m getting restless I want to not have worry about my hair so much and just have a easy basic routine
Hi kamsi please could you drop the hair routine
I am at the point where I do not want to do anything at all to my natural hair, feels like I am in bondage, I have been hiding it away in protective styles, not having fun with my hair anymore. I am really contemplating relaxing it.
I started to feel like that but I choose colour and a tapered cut instead of relaxer. I also find having two textures annoying when the relaxer grows out.
