Hi my loves! Finally filmed my relaxer update🥰 let me know if you have any other questions 🤍

[Yhudiejames]

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.

This video is confirmation, relaxing my hair tonight, I can’t take it anymore

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.

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.

A relaxer makes your hair more manageable!

[nazikiwe]

This is a good conversation to have - not being a slave to fake hair whether you're natural or relaxed.

[heathernicole]

I’m going back to relaxed hair. I’m tired of knots and tangles. Relaxed hair is more manageable

Relaxing my hair this week after a few years of wearing it natural. I’m so ready.

[officialvanny]

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.

[estheredigbe]

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.

[Didiecurls]

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. ❤

[brendaboyd]

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

[reginaokereke]

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.

[franklyfrances]

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!

[IAmPhasion]

I love my natural relax ponytails that’s my signature . It’s so timeless and classy

[graceHumphreyy]

Knowing what you want is where it all starts from! I also agree that this sleek and laid-back style complements you so well 😍.

[amarajenniferojiaka]

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!!

[Tahiha]

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.

[brittanyb]

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
