Yes you make a good point on trims. Back in the day, my in the 80's when i was a lil girl, i remember the adults around me saying that clipping your ends more frequently makes your hair grow faster. Which is exactly what was done to my hair! I had long hair as a child, past my shoulders, and it was considered long by most, but I can now imagine how long it could have been if my hair was only trimmed at least just twice a year at the most!

[@RaveenCierrea]

Right, I mean I get it…but part of me thinks we’re being scammed, they don’t have to take as much off as they do 😅💕

[@lalarose9907]

@@RaveenCierrea EXACTLY! 😂

[@tanyas1644]

Great video. I think I understand what you mean about trims. I have opted to just “dust” my ends…. like the very tips of my ends to catch those splits or slightly uneven ends and that has helped me to retain length. Those stylists can be scissor happy.

[@RaveenCierrea]

Definitely! I feel like I always experience a set back when I let a scissor happy stylist trim my hair 🤦🏽‍♀️😭

[@0tismadaline]

Thanks for the update ❤l love your hair texture, l agree with you on the trimming part

[@RaveenCierrea]

Thank you 😊

[@signednichole115]

I love how we come on and update each other ! Feels like we are friends on FaceTime. I'm 6 months due for a relaxer I've been protective styling !! Wish me luck

[@RaveenCierrea]

Yes! I love updating y’all and hearing about your progress as well! Good luck 💗

[@glitter4592]

Can you show your skin care routine? Sis skin is glowing 💅 ❤

[@RaveenCierrea]

Thank you! I definitely will 💕

[@mariegeorges3544]

Sorry to hear about your Motions experience. I don't care for that brand. It left my hair thin looking.

[@RaveenCierrea]

I’m starting to hear bad things about this one

[@kalishajnz]

There's no wsy you needed that much trimmed off, and it sucks that she tried you like that. It's definitely hard to find someone who's not scissor happy. One of the things that I love about ny stylist at Ulta is that she's not like that, and I always tell her to take off what needs to go, and she always keeps it super minimal. 💜

[@RaveenCierrea]

I’ve heard great things about Ulta Stylists. I may give them a try. Thank you for watching 💗

[@ThePracticalIntuitive]

I can't tell you how any horror stories I've heard about scissor happy hair stylists. I dust my ends when I want a polished look.

[@BPink-ke7jy]

Motions relaxer is strong. Try ORS in green jar with lye, mild

[@RaveenCierrea]

I’ve heard good things about this one. Thank you for the recommendation 💕

[@firdowsjohnson5766]

Absolutely! The ors one is very good and has helped me in keeping my hair soft after relaxer and am now reaching almost waist length hair. Definitely recommend!!

[@michelleej]

Have you ever tried using a base before relaxing and doing your edges last?

[@RaveenCierrea]

Yes, I do that each time

[@mariegeorges3544]

Also, I ended up with burns from the licensed stylist not adequately rinsing out the relaxer, if you can believe that

[@RaveenCierrea]

I can, I had a horrible salon experience once

[@SadieFarrell-fl4rg]

Can you please do relaxed hairstyle videos

[@RaveenCierrea]

Definitely 👍🏽

[@meeksjjm]

Ok so this is still a thing? I’ve been thinking about relaxing but everyone keeps jumping down my throat about cancer cancer cancer I just prefer my hair to be straight. I tried flat ironing but it reverts right back in humidity/rain.

[@RaveenCierrea]

I relaxed my hair for this exact reason, to wear it straight

[@EarthgoddessRaye]

The stylist would love me then lol. I stay thinking I need a cut. Thankfully my stylist will literally tell me no. She’ll do a dusting if necessary

[@RaveenCierrea]

😂😂😂 I understand, I love the blunt clean look trims give too

[@merlecalderajoseph5405]

Hmm, have you consider going back natural?

[@RaveenCierrea]

No
