I did an experiment with my hair and started to treat my hair similar to non black women hair care and I found that my hair does not like moisturizing products. But instead response better to smoothing products. It helped parts of my hair to become smoother and reduce friction so that I could have more defined curls and they can clump together. This made me understand that my type 4 hair was no different from other textures but my technique was most definitely problematic. My hair texture changes every time I cut it and its making me realize that my hair can be most definitely benefit from both sides of hair care.

This video is so helpful and thorough. I've been natural since March and I am also tender headed. Very much appreciate you pulling together all of the options in one video!

Thanks for the video. Loved the shed hair testing, first time I have heard that advice in 30 years, thats a good tip. Thank you.

I really wish we had better technology for relaxing. The FDA reports about cancer and reproductive health problems is crazy, the old tech is not it. I do a formaldehyde free keratin on my clients. I feel like it’s the healthiest option. It really does help the hair grow if done right.

Mild texturizers like Mizani are excellent for texlaxing your hair. I use to do it around every 4 months. I deep conditioned it with Shea Moisture conditioner and add Indian herbal powders to it, and it really keeps your hair strong!..Texlaxing did make my hair more dry than usual and I had to trim it more often than when completely natural, but it is worth it though, it made styling a lot more easy.

Black hair is amazing! It is versatile AF! Our culture alone kills. So no need to hate on anyone's choice. We are forever changing beauties!!! ❤❤❤ our hair!

Your curls look so beautiful!! You can see that you really take care of it, great work and inspiring! New subi ❤.

Thank you for this! You just gained a new follower 😊. I’ve been natural my whole life and had locs cut them off 6 months ago. Every morning before heading to work it’s a struggle I have to always keep my in protective styles because of my 4c hair. I love my hair but your video just gave me a new perspective. Thank you for that. I’m going to follow your routine to a T ! 😅 ( well some) love your process ❤

This video is FANTASTIC!!! Thank you SO much!

This is one of my favorite channels!

This is one of the best hair information videos ever!

Absolutely excellent video!

If you want to make timing less nerve-wracking, I recommend using a texturiser definitely. Thats what I did. And at least for my hair, I’d have to leave it on for about an hour to accidentally straighten it. its very hard to over process a texturiser compared to a relaxer.

Bruh her voice is amazing

Your hair is beautiful and thank you for explaining the difference between the various options! Do you deep condition weekly or monthy after a texturizer?

Thank you for you video ❤this was excellent ! New subscriber keep it up

Her voice is so cute omg

I really love this video. Thank you for making me really think more deeply about what exactly I plan to do next. I have very beautiful afro hair... I have used Brazillian keratin treatments a lot. I have also relaxed my hair in the past but liked the fact that my hair has more body via the keratin treatment however I hate how it only ever lasts my tough hair 3 months maximum. I never care about other peoples negative opinions as they are not the ones feeding or clothing me so I really give their negativity no attention as misery loves to seek company!😂😂😂 So I am actually considering a possible combination of relaxer 2x a year and brazillian keratin treatments inbetween..❤

Yo usaba este método para cambiar la textura de mi cabello hasta que se veía de la raíz a medios totalmente liso , así que decidí cambiar y usar keratina en lugar de cremas relaxer y me deja unos rizos hermosos

Very good video. I've been both relaxed and natural, but mostly relaxed. I like natural hair, but I have 4c hair and find it hard to manage. Both natural and relaxed I've struggled with dryness, but I'm managing it better now, by moisturising my hair as and when needed. I'm also trying my best to retain length. I've started to retain length and I'm taking some really good affordable hair growth pills. Thanks for the informative video.👍🏾⭐

Thanks for the information! Just subscribed!

Thank you very informative. I think for me I'd go for the keratin treatment.

Texturizes and relaxers are the same product. They are just marketed differently. If the dilute a relaxer in a thick conditioner, it’s the same. And, Keratin treatments use extremely high heat, so if you have fine hair like I do… you might want to steer clear.

Good video lots of information.Thanks for sharing.

This was very informative, I think I will like TJ try the keratin hair treatment.

I loved the information!!greatl video ❤ so if I have keratin and I want to change to texturizing is that safe change ?

I like all the before and afters.

I read with age,your curls get looser,but i really love my hair.The versatility is insane

I'm hearing a slight Korean accent. I really love your voice

I can't help but think that it's not the keratin that loosens the curls, but the excessive amount of heat used during the process

You have gorgeous hair

Honestly factually speaking no matter how careful you are putting chemicals(relaxers, perms, permanent hair color, bleach, etc) on your hair it will damage your over time(now if damaged hair is not a main concern and you don’t care about having healthy hair I understand, my best friend bleach her hair like once a month bc that’s her look and she keeps it almost bald). It’s literally a tell as old as time. You are speaking for the experience of a person who put a relaxer on virgin hair of course the outcome is decent like every little girl when their parents put a relaxer on their hair for the first time so soft and flowing in the air. but overtime and by that third and fourth relaxer, your hair gets thinner and thinner, and it becomes brittle. And if you are one of the I only get a relaxer every six months or once a year then what’s the point? You might as well heat train. At least you don’t have to worry about the harsh burns or side effects of chemicals. But nevertheless I do believe ppl should do what makes them happy but there is nothing better than what grows naturally from your scalp no matter the texture once you learn how to properly care for your hair it will flourish. Trust me I have a 4C testimony😂💕

You have convinced me ❤ mwah

you think I can do highlights, if I relaxed my hair, and I love your content ❤

Hey idk if any1 can help me but i have very low prosity extremely thick and i either have 4b or 4a maybe 4c idk. But im pretty sure its 4b or 4c anyways i wanted to get a curly perm or texturizer bc i not only wanted to actually enjoy doing my hair by it being more managable but also wanted to change the texure to 3b or 3c hair bc i like the looks of those type of 3b/3c finger coils and the curls as well. can any1 tell me what i should do and if its expensive like what product bc i wanted a jherri curl i js dont know if my hair will always be wet also i wanted a ginna curl but thats like 700 for my hair length. Can sum1 pllzzzzzzzzzz help me i would appreciate it

In order to get your hair hydrated you need a oil mixed with some kind of mucilage. Example: mix jojoba oil with aloe vera and put on hair. I used grass fed ghee on my hair and it softens and gives it nutrients. Use just a lil of any of these things.

thank you sm

Do you have a link to your eye contact lenses?

If someone with 4a did this How would their hair look ? I dnt think it’ll go to 3 something Maybe 2c

I used to do this 20+ years when I had a “jerry curl” (Care Free Curl). It’s basically the same thing. When I went natural I saw my hair for the first time. I have 3c, 4a, 3b, and 4c curls. We have been deceived. At least I was deceived. I paid all of that money for a long time when I was born with the curls that I paid for, unbeknownst to me. 😩 But make the choice that’s best for you.

Is it possible to apply a perm without straightening the hair first?

You're natural texture was beautiful but OMG your texturized hair is so much looser and shows length better! I love the texturized. I did that many years ago myself and it was the longest my hair had ever been. I'm a straight haired natural but sometimes I think about texlaxing. The one thing that I don't like about it is obvious non-uniform textures/curl pattern throughout the head with straighter pieces.

I love your trigger warning!😂

What is the best texturiser everybody has come across?

You never made the straightening method video 😢

Id rather texlax or relax my kinky hair. I don't want the latter because all itll do is wash out and my hair would be kinky again.

Perhaps the method of using hair relaxer or straightener for a short time to texturize it is right for you, but I think the KCTexture Keratin Complex Treatment might have been a better choice because it strengthens the hair. It is the only Keratin Treatment that does NOT use a flat iron to lock it in and instead locks in the curl pattern made with your fingers or curlers. The advantage of this is also that you can get all the same curl pattern throughout the hair and it is not as permanent. Here is the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fKdlfcWc3rKwY4U.html

I use hair Botox.

You forgot Japanese straightening and Nanoplastia treatments.

Rude for others to shame or tell people to do what they want on their own person.

Tu ressembles à Michael Jackson ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Besides heat, all of these are harmful to the body. These chemicals have been shown to be a link in the cause of why so many black women suffer from issues relating to their cycles, fibroids etc amongst other things.

Obviously people can do whatever they want with their hair but choosing to still use chemicals that are soo harmful to your body and to your hair is surprising. Her natural hair was sooooo gorgeous---would never Permanently change it. Do a blow out, sure. Relaxer?, nooo way! I've learned what is healthier and better and I would bever go back to a relaxer. I really just thibk that soooo many people are just still brainwashed to feel/believe that a Looser texture is more beautiful. I think most times these choices really stem from that

no thanks ❤ i love my 4c hair. damn i was trying to look for better hair shampoos. please work on y’all texturism

It looks damaged af
