I’m doing it anyway

I have no regrets. My hair is so much more manageable and I still have nice curls. But this is my experience.

You might just be the cutest human being I’ve ever seen in my life... but I’m still about to texturize my hair lol

I love it... I never retained length with relaxers. Now I texturize every 3-4 months and my hair is longer than it’s ever been. However, I deep condition every 2weeks and do hot oil treatments. I’m in love but it’s different for everyone😍

On the bright side, you have short hair so as it grows out you can cut the texturized parts.

Girl don't you worry one bit. This is the beauty of African hair. It is a journey and not a boring one at that. At times mistakes will be made , other times you will find what works for you until you wonder how you lived without that hair regimen. You are still beautiful no matter what happened or happens. Enjoy the journey, good luck girl.

Never thought about texturizing my hair but gotta admit the tapered hairdo does you justice.. It's bomb AF 🔥🔥

I literally have to because my hair tangles sooo much in its natural state...when I texturize my hair it’s more manageable but that’s me

Love your accent

Texturizing helped my hair , grew it longer , made it wayyyy thicker after I stoped using them and it gave it thick curly hair even after I stopped using them . I had no damage & no break off. I loved texturizing my hair but it’s summer so I go natural Inna summer

Love this Video. I had texturized hair with my boycut before growing my hair out. I always did my own texturizing at home. Never comb out the texturizer-rub with fingers. But if you want straighter edges/edges on fleek/hair gel responsive edges for nice baby hairs then you can gently press and pull the edges back with your finger while texturizer is "cooking". 2) I used men's texturizer -for some reason it was better curl pattern-wise. 3) Leave-in conditioner is bae. Texturizer tends to make hair crunchy and dry. Everyday application when hair is wet would work for me. 4) Water based hair gel (Eco) for Tinnie Winnie Afros is also bae (as was the case for me)....Perhaps I will do a 'tips' episode on Over 25 :) one day!

Hi Joanna, it's not a problem. I did too and i regret but for one time you can let the hair growing threw it. You are beautiful it does not mather how your hair is. Gorgeus...!!! Hugs from Holland 😘

Just After texturizing my hair and I'm like man I should have done this earlier

That's just life girl don't be too hard on your self and you look bomb af!! Thanks for always keeping it real with us.. 🖤

Thank you for being so real! Let me add, for me it was a volume thing I didn't like..my hair just became thin after hair days - I also think overprocessing. I tried to work with it for like 2yrs before going back to natural. You atleast, your hair looks alive. Anyway, your skin looks amazing!

I totally understand where you regrets come from. Im a curly girl and love my curls; regret allowing a untrained beautician to do a silk press on my hair which left it bone straight and it would not revert back. Finally found out it was extreme heat damage. I ended up cutting my hair off and letting it grow back curly. I totally regretted the whole process.

skin on the glow...sis i see the acne healing

I did it yesterday and i like how mine came out. I didn’t leave it in for the recommended time and left it in for a much shorter amount of time and it came out perfect. I left it in just enough so that it was slightly loosened.

Girl I regret straightens my hair so much, now I lost a lot of my hair. My hair use to be so thick and big and long. But I was so brainwashed about having straight hair. I wanted to fit in, now I want to go natural. I been natural for almost 2 years and love it

I am in love with your accent! It really makes me want to listen to you... if that makes any sense lol. Thanks for sharing! 💕

You're being truthful.,Thank you Joanna,

Refreshing to see a natural make up free face to go with the natural hair movement.. ur beautiful.

Thanks for saving my nashoro hair! I was almost going for the texturiser

I just texturised my natural after 8 years of natural hair and I hate the texture of the hair now. Definitely going back to my natural hair. I feel your pain girl.

I texturized my hair and at first it was good but looking back I regret it... it wasn’t till after my hair started growing back healthy that I realized how terrible it was... my hair had very minimal hair growth in the 2 years after I had it in, it’s now been 4 years since I had it and it’s just now growing (with the help of hair masks and rice water), it also made my hair dry and my coils were not the same. I have 4c hair and it does get hard to manage but I’m learning how to properly take care of it and learning what works for my hair by watching videos and through trial and error

Don't regret gal thats the beauty of it, you will still return to natural. Play around with your hair 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I had a texlax years ago and I eventually cut it off. My hair was damaged and I realized after the fact I'm allergic to relaxers of any sort. My hair was very dry, lack luster and very hard to maintain. My hair now 5yrs relaxer free is far healthier and shinier than it previously was.

I had mine done at Urban Hair Salon and Patrick used Mizani texturiser . He only applied with a brush and washed the chemical off immediately. I absolutely love it more as it's so easy to manage

I have no regrets tuxturizing my hair jus apply conditioner b4 applaying the relaxer n make sure nt to come it n not to leave it so long den u will have curls poping

Omg! You are so cute and seems like a super nice person. Thanks for the vid and keep it real!

I’m in the same boat with you, I thought I didn’t love my natural hair even after it had gotten to a decent length just because it was so hard to handle, but I really miss it now. And you’re right, when it’s wet, it has no bounce or curls 😫 I look like a wet dog.

Amen!! I was waiting for this video. Anyway Joanna...your hair will Grow back To be the way it was before...and More beautiful!!

Yes that has also happened to me with texlaxing. And it only happens to the section of my hair that didn't really have a curl pattern in the first place. The ends get too straight and I cut them off. I wear wash n go on my hair but I have to twist or braid that section to develop a curl pattern that matches the rest. Other sections - most of my hair just develop a looser curl pattern from texturizing/texlaxing.

The way she says "pop-pingggggg" 😍😍

I adoree your voice and accent. Its so nice to listen to

I have 3c hair and my issue is the frizziness. I’ll have big juicy curls with frizz In between. Thank you for this because I don’t need straight hair 😩 I probably just need a better gel or conditioner.

No disrespect to this video but i am going to be real with about my experience. I admit that i have thick average curly hair but during the quarantine my hair was unmanageable for about 6 mos. It was extremely thick and i was unable to comb through it. I would be so busy during the day that i just ignored it since we basically stayed home during pandemic. I decided to texturize because i would relax about twice a year but i wanted to try the natural route for 6mos. Anyway, IT WAS THE BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE! I literally have more curls and they are ELONGATED CURLS. The texturizer makes the curls you have waaaay longer than before..I do not regret my decision and i wish y'all knew the less stress i have! To each its own but i have no regrets:)

Why your hair is gorgeous!!💗

4:56 On most brands, the box usually suggest clipping the ends afterwards anyway

We all make mistakes on our hair lol.i put im a texurizer not too long ago i lost my natural curls more of the coil look.loss the thick condensity of my hair and i had mild breakage in the back of my head.talking about devasted and i am a man.i know totally can relate.i.think i did it because.trying to rush getting my loc.extensions thought it will make it grow in length lol. Felt like i wanted to cut it but still not going to.it was very tempted but choose not to.it's plenty of things you can put in your hair to fix problems.our beautiful blk hair is unique

I absolutely LOVE your accent .! ❤️

I've texturized my hair for the first time too. I had a full on relaxer before which I'd relax twice a year. My hair was so little then and it was breaking, atleast now the volume is better but its still so little than I'd like to see it. I don't really know how to style my hair cause it's a weird length and like I said, little. I usually just put it in a ponytail. I had the same problem with the edges that were over processed but I'm guessing that's because I had a full on pam before. I'm midway deciding whether I can ever go natural or keep it texturized. I think I like it this way but want to ask if you can do more videos on styling texturized hair so I can get more ideas on how to wear mine.

I regretted texturizing my hair big time! It became so messy and hard especially when the natural hair started to grow! But it's getting better now after continuous plaiting. All the same the styling looks good.

The hair + Lashes + Hoops are the perfect combo! Hata hakukna haja ya foundation

I hate it the texturizer messed up my hair I’m currently transitioning and been doing it for 3 months now . My hair is straight at the ends .

Hello I would like to advise you, next time choose dark and lovely relaxer or Mega growth It's has good effects on any type of hair

I don't regret my texturizer. It's so much better then perming and my hair grows better and faster..but you shud only apply a texturizer no more then 3x's a year. It's still a chemical and if not we'll managed it will bring your hair out

But i love your hair...i think your hairdo looks gorgeous and i cant wait for you to start doing makeup again coz its gonna look bomb...

I had the same experience as u had,only that my hair was fully permed,I haven't cut mine yet,I read it takes 8 to 10 weeks to get back,m hoping my natural hair goes back to how it was,I really regret and hate my hair now...

Favorite KZfaqr 💕

Hi came across your video. Your hair looks really nice. It’s probably because it’s the first time you’ve done it with virgin hair. I don’t think you should give up. But texturzers need constant moisture s curl no drip is a really good curl activator it will work well with your short style. Or Sof n free curl activators

This haircut looks good on you now!

You feel my pain, stretching my hair when I could be sleeping

I think it wasn't done right. I texturized my neighbours hair today and I used a detangling brush once through the process. The result was surprisingly good. Her curls were popping

Hey. There are times i used to have my bantu knots behave like yours but i noticed they could hold the curls better when i left them on longer....like undo them after a day or two (when i fix them at night) or at midday if i had fixed them a lot earlier the following day. It might also work for you.

I'm so sorry bout your experience but it's good that you did it and it's just unfortunate that one bad experience caused all this though. It's true, if your salonist was more keen it would have been different for sure and yeah...... About your natural hair twist outs and all, maybe you can try a different technique cause my hair used to be so full when I did them, I used to let them sit for quite a while...cause they are protective and headwraps were bae at some point cause natural hair is work. I had textured my hair initially and it worked for me (spent like 7k on everything: products and Salon services) it served me well cause I was in school and I never had time to go to the Salon then after school I braided back to back for a year then went all the way and replaced my hair back in 2015. Later shaved my hair in 2016 October, grew it from scratch and relaxed it again last year November and so far so good. The tricks are almost the same: don't over work and tire your hair. I still use the same products that I used to used in my natural hair but you tone it down by like 50%. I braid my hair more often and only relax when need be. Basically, retouched my hair in Jan, braided in Feb to April. Got Extensions in May which will give me service till mid July cause my extensions/weaves are human hair. I also invested In a good wig for when I I'm not quite sure what I want to do with my hair or my budget demands for other things and just do nice neat cornrows that will for work for 2weeks then wash and redo them.

I love her voice😊 your hair is beautiful too

One, girl ur crazy ur bantu knots and all used to pop I always wanted mine to look.like urs .And two kesho niko salon getting a texturizer done on my hair hope it goes well 😮.Might even do the cut.Overall ur.hair looks amaizing don't feel so bad bout the whole process u look good

I'm so happy I did mine! It's still curly and still has body but it doesn't tighten up when it gets wet which is great because I like to swim and not wear a swim cap but not I'm going straight relaxer

I love how real you are... 😊

Been texturing my own short boy cut for years. Now I want a lil afro. Hair has curls and is soft but not the shiny popping curls is others with. I have used everything. It looks good so as I apply to damp hair but goes back to fuzzy soft fuzz hrs later. I have tried some of the gels like don't shrink, it looks good but makes hair hard. Any shine methods tips which last are desperately n greatly appreciated. I want to keep my texterized hair as it grows but this dry look isn't what I want. Thx all

I think it’s beautiful! Love 💕😍

You look like a literal doll. Super pretty❤️

I did it too and I absolutely regret it, had to chop off my hair after 4 long years 😫😫😫😫. I’m hurting

I just used just for me hair softener and left it on my hair on for 7 minutes. My hair still looks kinky but I can run a comb through it. I'm going to grow my hair out again. I'm glad the perm didnt take. LOL. I got lucky

I texturized my hair (over the summer) it was sooo beautiful but now it’s just all over the place🤦🏽‍♀️🥺

I texturized my hair in 2017 n now it's 2018 n I wished I didn't. I had done my big chop n since my hair was short I felt like I could try out diffrent styles before I started to grow my hair. I did it myself n I was so keen on the time it stayed on my hair. It turned out nice n curly. Then I started growing my hair n that's when I noticed that my hair had two textures the one close to the roots was so soft but the ends were so rough you'd have thought it's steel wire. My saloonists even started asking me if I had put baby locs beacuse it was curly n very rough. Fast forward to September this year, I decided to cut my hair to half length. I plaited my hair twice n am still noticing my hair has two textures. I have decided to let it grow n will be trimming often. I hope my hair will be able to have the same texture with time.

Me too! The stylist left it on to long so now I have straight hair. 🤦‍♀️

I used to perm my hair and it would burn my scalp badly at times. Then went to texturing but noticed I would have different texturizes on the same strand. Just decided healthy hair was better than "beauty standards " idea of what is "good hair". Too many textured stranded ladies are doing so much stuff to their hair and are losing their hair. It just takes one bad chemical application to ruin your hair.

The beauty about it...it is hair it will grow out...just cornrow it underwigs or headwraps whenever you need a break. I do have natural hair but i dnt chase curls its always in twists or matutas

Your hair looks so good though

Did you buy the texturizer yourself?? If no ..if you ever change your mind use the ORS texturizer and do it yourself at home..A close person did this and it turned out perfect

I texturized my hair and I hate it. I can't wait until it is all clipped OUT!

I texturised my hair at the beginning of the year after 10 years natural and it was the biggest mistake ever. My hair is now weak thin and breaks very easily. I protein treat regularly but it seems to not make much difference.

This video helped me a lot I didn’t get it I just remain natural I cut it in a tapper cut I love it

Steam it with rice milk or water and rinse thoroughly!

I texturize my own hair simple because I don't trust anybody to do th as t for me. I used I think beautiful botanical for kids and like you said it's all about the time you leave it in and not combing it out

Im 4b/4c and I used a texturizer about a year ago. After 6 months I texturized my hair again... but instead of texturizing my roots I literally used the texturizer on my whole head 😭 Now my hair is straight at some parts but mainly kinky with a loser curl pattern. Now after my roots are very very hard to maintain I’m not sure if I should relax my whole head, texturize the roots or just cut it all of and texturize my hair.. Do have tips or so? :((

I have the same issues with my natural hair when I try to braid or twist it gets frizzy and the ends unravel i grew it back simi permanent my hair and now its fried and dyed now I'm going to shave it off and start fresh

I wish I never texturised my hair it completely changed my texture I want my original hair texture back!

I’m in tears 😂😂😂😂😂😂 the thumbnail

That's you're decision I loveeeeeeee it my hair is more manageable Works for most

I did an s curl texturizer last year in late May... almost a year later now my hair has broken off drastically and has horrible looking ramen noodle curls that fall out when they get wet. My hair DID NOT revert. My edges started to recede but I've gotten them under control. I through away a year of natural, shoulder length hair because I thought my curls we're too tight, nappy, not silky enough and I hated it. Now I'm doing a big chop again in 2019. Before you risk your hair for a texturizer please think "is it really worth it?" "Will my hair still be healthy afterwards?" "Do I really want this or am I doing it because I care what others think of my hair?" Regardless of this comment and the video some people will do it anyway because sometimes enough is enough, I get it. I wish y'all the best of luck. You out here wildin 😭

I wish my hair could look like yours girl😍

I think your hair looks good! 😁

Your accent! Omg i absolutely love it!!

I did enjoy it at first, but it destroyed my hair and I didn’t realize it until two years later, now I have to the big chop for the second time🙄

i think you had issues because your hair was still short i was told to wait and be patient until your curls drop as it grows then do then texturize

No regrets for me been relaxing for over a year and my hair is growing fast. It does break more easily

I thought am the only one who regrets, I regretted it big time, am doing the trimming sasa from time to time. Thanks for sharing

I love ❤️ ur accent!!!

I love her accent with a passion

Wow, you are so pretty!

Sasa Joanna loving the skin improvement

Hey, I'm going to texturize my hair too but I'm scared can you tell me is good to do it or not please. I have a natural kinky hair,thanks

So do I! Getting mine cut this Friday! 😢

I was also disappointed. I really liked your natural hair.

I hated it, it made me realise I loved the versatility of my natural texture, everything ain't for everybody tbh🤷🏿‍♀️

I knew this was coming, I texturized my hair and after 2 months I regreted it , now i shaved all my texturized hair, now i have a twa, never going back... on texturizer.

@Joanna, twist outs and Bantu knots are more of technique than products. Perfect your technique and make sure your hair is completely detangled when twisting and completely dry when unraveling.
