I’ve done it all. Relaxed, natural, color, henna, braids, and now I’m loc’d. Do whatever brings you peace. I love the results! 🤎

What we all have to realize is that everyone is different just because someone does something doesn't mean that it's right or wrong we all going to do what is best for us period

I went natural for two years. As my hair grew it became more difficult to comb constant knots especially in the back and my hair was falling out when I was washing it. I just went and got a relaxer and did it myself at home I feel much better now I can actually comb through my hair.

The person doing your hair should start a channel doing exactly this, watching them massage your head was proper ASMR for me, just the whole process was nice to watch.

Yes, relaxers are harsh chemicals. So is the formaldehyde in nail polish. So are any artificial flooring materials, nonstick cooking pans etc etc. And the preservatives in those fast food menus. After surviving 2020, what people do with their hair should be the least of anyone’s problems. Live and let live.

I relaxed mine after almost 5 years natural. And I love not having to do much. Every 2 days just moisture & seal the ends. My hair is almost waist length.Dont miss natural not 1 bit!

THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS MATCH EVERYTHING TO YOUR CURRENT LIFESTYLE 🙌🏽. IM HAPPY FOR YOU SIS & I ENJOY VIDEOS LIKE THIS. AS BW WE CAN WEAR OUR HAIR IN ANY WAY WE LIKE. IT DOESNT TAKE AWAY FROM OUR BLACKNESS.

Welcome to the relaxed hair world… less stress for you my friend 🤣🤣🤣

I am so glad you went to a professional to have your hair relaxed. Too many people relax their hair at home because they saw it on KZfaq. The people on KZfaq aren't not licensed professional. Your hair looks beautiful, your video shows a professional doing your hair, I love it. We need more videos like this. Thank you 😊

I know this stage. I was there at my 7 year mark with my natural hair. I got locs, I'm never going back.

I’m always amazed at the back and forth of BW when it comes to hair. From the whole sisterhood a couple of years back on learning how to take care of our natural hair yet now there seems to be an exodus back to relaxers. I went natural when I cut my hair because of a break up I honestly didn’t go into it because of the love thyself movement. BUT I can’t imagine relaxing my hair ever again 🙅🏿‍♀️

I'm i the only one paying attention to Thandy's skin? it's so beautiful & glowing....

🤣🤣It's so funny how people have to apologize about saying " Natural hair is hard to take care of", yeeeyy It is very hard to take care of it🤣 I have been natural for almost ten years, I do not see myself relaxing, Kodwa wow sis, Natural hair is a lot, you did yourself a favor

its always years after big chop/being natural i relaxed ..... then months after i relaxed i big chopped ..... then my new natural hair journey but yea it is crazy ppl spend more time on natural hair than they do maintaining a relationship with the lord it consumes you it like bondage

This whole idea of "Team natural vs team relaxed" is so dumb to me! I'm on team do whatever you want👌🏿🤙🏿

I don't blame you one bit. I am the same. I went back to flat ironing my hair. I never had a relaxer . I just used heat. I stopped because I let people in the natural hair community tell me it was not good or natural . Well my hair grows better with heat. I was so sick of those 6+ hours of wash days and hair products which I pay more for now than I do when I flat ironed not to mention my hair was much healthier. I see so many naturals with broke dry brittle hair with ton of products and it don't look good. Heat is not the enemy it's how you use it. I just started back flat ironing my hair it's so much easier and less time consuming. I just don't have time anymore to deal with my natural hair. I need something simple. . Im going back to heat training my hair it was healthy long and I never had issues with damage and so what If it does happen just cut it off and start over. If you can't have fun with your hair no point to have it.

For some naturals It’s not about the relaxer it’s more about the chemicals that you’re being exposed to during the relaxing treatment. There are many studies linking lye and other compounds commonly found in relaxers to fibroids, cancers, auto immune diseases, etc. Your hair is your hair and everyone can wear the styles they feel most comfortable with, however you only have one life. Do your research 🔬 🧐 !!!!

Same I relaxed my hair last month after being natural for 8 years no never been happier it suits my lifestyle way more and takes no time to style !

We don't talk you out but walk the journey with you ❤❤❤❤❤❤Enjoy the journey 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

Your hair looks so lush. I've been natural 15yrs. I don't know if I could handle having hair your length. I hope you enjoy this new journey. Your stylist is very talented.

The best decision I made was going back to relaxer. My hair grows really fast and is much healthier. Good for you

Now I'm tempted to relax my hair cause I've been natural for too long. I love your results girl

Beautiful hair girl! So so healthy. And yes to less maintenance. Some people really love the process of taking care of natural hair & for others, it just gets tiring. So your reasons for relaxing are valid.

I know its less of a hassle to be relaxed or have straighter hair but whats good never comes easy and the things that are difficult that are worth it, last longer and are healthier. Natural will always be whats best for us all, in every aspect of life. Be blessed

Your hair looks beautiful and healthy, I know you’re on cloud 9 with the new do, I always am!

I really enjoyed watching the video and found it very relaxing when the hairdresser was washing and massaging your hair💆🏿‍♀️😴.Your hair looks healthy and beautiful natural or relaxed. Each to their own! 💕👸🏿

Looks beautiful relaxed and beautiful natural. Great job 👏🏾 💁🏾‍♀️❤️

Your hair is beautiful and you look gorgeous, can’t wait to see more🤗❤️

Let's all do to our hair what makes us happy. I've been relaxed back to natural back to relaxed back to natural and now I'm relaxed and if I choose I will go back to natural but it is all up to ME. Leave my hair alone and I'll do the same for you.

Oooh my gosh, I'm so jealous right now... It's so silky and it looks so healthy...!!

That leave in hair milk is really amazing I use that to end the relaxer. Your hair looks great thank you for sharing this with us God-bless you🙏🏽💞💞💞

God Bless your beautiful hair BUT I WOULD HAVE NNNNNEEEVVVERRR!!! Looks lovely though! Much love on your new journey Sis!!! ETA Hair looks BEAUTIFUL at the End!!!

Live your best life sis, I've been natural for many years and I've texturing my hair when it was very short since when my hair is short it won't do anything. A completely relaxed head makes me feel bald and I don't like it, I won't even straighten my hair because within 24 hrs I want my hair back

I am definitely transitioning 🥺🥺❤️ You and Christen are my motivation ❤️❤️

I’m all for doing what you want with your natural hair !

The length ! 🥺 Your hair looks amazing !

Loc’a gang, hands up 🙋🏾‍♀️ Do what suits you boo.

STIFF WHERE SIS!!!! So in love, it suits you!

Look at how healthy it is 😍😍 inloveeeee

He was so amazingly gentle and patient. I enjoy watching this video. They did an amazing job. Where is the salon located?

Notification gang, yooooo Thandi and Christine ningenzani kodwa relaxing . I wanted to relax my hair but I had doubts now I see Thandi relax her hair Iam so tempted.....it is true, it is very hard to tame care of natural hair.....💕💕.

wow, I love seeing these videos I'm going to leave my 4c hair for 2 more years so it can be even longer.

Such healthy gorgeous hair 😍😍😍 I love it , your hair looks amazing

Healthy hair is healthy hair whether relaxed or not 😍😍 your hair is beautiful love ❤️

The natural and relaxed both look so healthy band absolutely stunning! I used to texlax my 3b hair due to moving to a humid climate but the hair would always break off in the center of my head around the crown and while fairly long, I shed a lot and it was always dry. So I went natural again and I can get my hair how I like it in under 5 minutes, but that is a me thing. Everyone is not the same and some women really flourish with relaxed hair or natural hair and others don’t. Do what makes you happy and stay beautiful. But in all honesty your hair looks so good either way.

Your hair looks super healthy and beautiful 🥺

Your hair looks beautiful and healthy! 😍I’ve also been going back and forth about relaxing my hair. My problem before was I didn’t do a good job of maintaining my relaxed hair so saw a lot of breakage. Would love to see videos on how you maintain your relaxed hair.

I’m excited for the new relaxed hair content coming our way…

Gurll you have long hair and it looks healthy 🙌🏾🙌🏾

It definitely looks like some Peruvian hair. Wow I love I love😭😍😍😍😍 should try me some Mizani

Skin is skinning 🤩 Nje it's giving what needs to be gave!

The nice things about relaxers is there’s more information now on how to take care of it, grow it long and keep it healthy. Even though I don’t want relaxers I want to do a silk press especially so I can see how long my natural hair is. But I don’t trust most SA hairdressers lemme wait 5 years and see lol.

You too 😂 I've been contemplating but I'm still holding on a little. Your hair looks lovely

I'm enjoying watching your content. I wish the volume was a bit higher. I'm missing parts of what you're saying while I'm on the road. Thanks for sharing the process!☺️😍

Straight hair natural and loving it😌

Relaxed hair is EVERYTHING(well for me🤭)!Welcome to the family 🥺❤🤌😭

Her skin looks so amazing

Sweetie if you want to keep that long relaxed hair never let anyone round brush. If you don't like hooded dryers or air drying your hair natural hair will work best. Direct heat and relaxers don't go together

South african KZfaqrs are relaxing left, right and center these days.

Nah sis you were right natural is a lot of work especially if you’re just starting out or if it doesn’t fit your lifestyle. You gotta do what works for you

Whoooop whoooop it's everything for me: Skin, Hair, Length 👌🏽🔥🥂

The hair looks really healthy.

Your skin is looking great!

Both your natural & relaxed hair is beautiful 😍😍

Your hair looks amazing 🥰💜

Pls , your hair looks too good 😻😻

Your hair looks amazing 🤩😍

😍😍😍Your hair is beautiful Thandi!

Yhoooo bathong I haven't watched u in a while.... Wow ur SKIN LOOKS SO GOOD OMG👌👌👌👌👌👌

This is the first relaxer application video that had been done correctly that I’ve seen

Your hair turned out beautifully

I’m going back relaxed at the beginning of the year. Ive had locks for 12 years and will be combing them out before my 30th birthday.

I relaxed my hair last year after 7 years of being natural. Enjoy babe. 💕💕💕

Wow what relaxer is this that doesnt burn? relaxing makes hair so much more managable I relaxed my hair this looks like a great salon where is it?please share and hair is gorgeous

The fluffiness of your natural hair is so nice. 😄😄All the best on your new journey, Thank God you were able to get the relaxer done safely.

Good for you girl u will enjoy it, I relaxed last year after 3 years natural, I'm doing big chop again next week coz we do what works for you at that point In time, enjoy love you look amazing

Looks gorg! Oh the memories. Tempting but the ferocious burning of a relaxer less tempting 🤣😅.... what kinda ah magical relaxer was that?? The thought he could massage you head and smooth the edges with his thumbs yikes! I always told my hairdresser not rub my scalp when washing it out Lord that was hell!! My hair is grown out after 2 weeks so the 6 week wait was annoying i I then did it a 4 weeks but probably damaged my hair even more so guess rhat? Im staying natural for now i just with there was a safe hair dye for greys fed up of hiding my long lovely natural hair. Ps. Perhaps may be no damage if i did at 4 weeks nowadays as using correct products to ensure my natural hair is soft between relaxers hmmm..... looking forward to your updates.

Your hair is gorgeous! 😍

This haaaaairrr is giving everything 😍😍

Everyone is relaxing their hair, we are tired shame.

Your hair is so gorgeous 😍😍😍. It looks so beautiful relaxed. Might take my daughter to that salon, think she’s also over her afro.

Wow...They did a great job...😍😍

Your hair is so beautiful 😍🤞🏽

Wow your hair is perfect. Did he apply anything after straightening your hair to keep it silk?.

It’s so long and healthy!😍 Great decision Thandi!🌸🌸

😭😭😭😭😭 Thandi! Looking stunning 😍

Your hair looks so good. Healthy too

Your hair looks so good

I have natural hair and yho 😩 its so hard to maintain 😪 I always have to have my hair in some protective style. After watching this video I'm slowly considering relaxing my hair also. Your looks amazing Thandi.

You’ve got beautiful hair 😍

It looks so good😍😍

Your hair looks good 😍😍

I did it...WORST MISTAKE EVER💯💯💯..1 relaxer and I regretted it! ...put my hair back in braids growing the relaxer out that was 2 years ago...still growing out the relaxer

I can relate with the relaxer burns, that is why I went the natural route. It seems relaxing hair is much more expensive now 😩, or is it the Mizani relaxer? Not relaxing my hair anytime soon.

Wow very nice and healthy

Gorgeous. The trim they did was just around the bottom ends or did they go in to trim the end in the middle and front of your hair?

Yoh mina be alopecia yami sisazama ukukhulisa iAfro, nonetheless umuhle as always ❤️❤️🔥🔥

Wow you have such beautiful hair😍
