Under-Processed Relaxed Hair | How I Correct And Prevent

Hey guys welcome to my channel Brandon live so today we're going to talk about the poo defect or correcting under processed hair. This is a problem that I have encountered just recently and it made me want to cut my hair. I wanted. I wanted to cut my hair a while back, but the under process problem just really made me want to do it for real, and I did cut my hair um to bra strap length. So basically, I'm just going to show you guys some pictures of my under process areas or what under processed hair um looks like. So I'm just going to let you guys see a couple Clips where I was talking and I was showing you um how my hair looked hey guys, so my hair is freshly washed and that doesn't have any um products in it and I only did a co-wash. So I washed it with conditioner, so I just wanted to kind of come and show you guys the texture of my hair. So, as you guys can see it's wavy, my hair is wavy all the way down. But when you get up in here, you start to see the under processed pieces, like you see how that is puffy, so this piece is under processed all that is under process. So these are the pieces on my neck. That was under process, and that is why I had to cut this part and then I'll show you guys a piece that is just like really thick all the way down like these pieces are super thick all the way down, and then, when you have these under Processed pieces they like to thin out at the bottom, so that is what I have to correct um and, as you guys can see, I have bunches of new growth, but my home head has texture, so it's kind of hard to tell, but this is pretty much It like that right there, so I'm looking at my computer, so that I can see the picture that I'm showing you guys on the screen. So this first picture is me just showing you guys the texture of my hair. My hair is texture all the way through, as you guys can see it just has these like waves all the way through in my hair. Now I've always had um like these puffy areas. In my hair I actually like that because it did make my hair more textured and it just made my hair. You know more thicker, so when I said that I was wanting to go tech, slacks um, I was saying that I wanted to do it on purpose. I want it to be text black saying on purpose because before I was only text likes - and I have this texture because I don't leave my relaxers on that long. Once I put the relaxer on, I immediately go and wash it out. So most of my hair is kind of like this puffy hair and then um, I would say, maybe towards the ends is where it got straight. So I guess those were like the bone straight is and then the rest was kind of like my relaxed ends, but then I also have like straighten in between the relaxed ends. So that's what was making my nape break off. So the back of my hair, the texture, is more coarse and I'm pretty sure the curl pattern is more tighter in the back than in the front, so the front pieces that have it. It'S not that bad. It doesn't really make a difference in the back when it does that the hair is all crunchy and just the line of demarcation instantly the hair will start breaking and popping off. I just kind of wanted to show you guys an example of how the hair is like puffy and then it goes thin. I did start to chop off some of my hair some of those pieces, and then I also wanted to show you guys how some pieces on my hair. That also has that puffiness, it's thick all the way down um, and this happens like in the middle of my head and also in the upper areas of my head. This is where I have like the really thick pieces and then, of course, in the back. That'S where I have my problem, so I did start to, like I said, cut off my hair or whatever, like that and honestly, the trim that I got um. It was honestly because I wanted to cut my hair and then also because I wanted my hair to UM not be ash as longer as the nape as it was, because it was super super long. The Nate was like up to my shoulders and the rest of my hair was like almost too excellent. So that's just a no-no. I wasn't going to keep you know holding on to that and then I wanted to cut my hair anyways. So I just wanted to show you guys, like the super thickness of my hair compared to the name. My name has always been my problem area and I believe it's because my um, the current pattern in the back is tighter and it's just harder for me to get back there. Um and these pictures are such good visuals to everything that I'm telling you guys in this video, so I'll just show you the pieces that I cut off, and I also wanted to show you guys. You know like my ponytail was still really really thick like this. Is how my ponytail looks and my hair? It was still thick, but it was just that Nate area and the only time when you can really tell what that Nate area is when your hair gets really long. Like mine's was almost waist length and then you have those see-through areas, because you don't have the Nate that's coming down on Sunday. I conditioned co washing my hair, and I did that because I wanted my hair to for one. I wanted to be moisturized before I put the relaxer on and then I also wanted to be able to see the under process parts of my hair. It'S hard to see the under process parts of your hair when your hair is straight, so you want to make sure when you're going into this process, that um you have your hair, textured or watch freshly washed, so that you can see where the unprocessed portions are Now, if you do not feel comfortable with doing this, don't I'm telling you go to a professional? Let them do it because this can be really tricky and you can really mess up your hair if you're not aware what you're doing or if you're, not careful, so um, I would say Monday, I might oh, my gosh, my scout was itching so bad and I Tried my hardest not to itch it, but I'm like. Oh my gosh. I feel like it's a mental thing like when my head is itching. I know that I'm about to get a relaxer, so I basically just oiled my scalp because I was like. Maybe this will make the itching cease or calm down some. It did calm down some, but it was still itching. So I did still experience some itching and then I use my base. My sensitive scalp summit base cream and this feels it tingles your scalp. I don't know fish fun meant to like mimic the relaxer when it burns, or I don't know or if it's stimulating your scalp, but this stuff um. It'S like a fresh tingly feeling when you apply this, but I didn't put this on the day before my relaxer and I also put it on the day of my relaxer. So I wanted to make sure my scalp was based really really good, because I happened, and I also wanted to make sure my hair that was already processed, wasn't getting processed. So I put this cream on there to protect my already process ends in um. Any of the portions in between basically the way I fixed my under process hair was, I kind of just pulled out the pieces that were really really puffy and that I did not want to be like that anymore. So it's really back in the nape of my hair and I just took my motions relaxer. I used the mild because it's a mild, a regular and a super, so I usually use regular. But this time I used mild and because um the way I did it was I just I wanted to do it all in one day, so I parted my hair in four sections and I kind of started off by relaxing how I usually do. I started to apply the relaxer and then I would stop midway in that section and I would do the under process portions now I used on my relaxer so that I can work through my hair um diligently. You know fast, but I could also have time to do the processed ends and then I also used a regular. I'M sorry. I also use the Miele because I didn't want the unprocessed parts to you know: process fast, like the regular or the super would so. I said I was just going to get the mild to correct, so I feel, like you, should use a very mild relaxer when you're correcting under process areas and making sure that you're coating the areas that are not getting your the ends of your hair. That are not getting relaxed on them. You should coat them with a base or a vaseline or trolling jelly, whatever you have on hand, make sure that you're basing those parts encoding those parts so that they don't get touched by the relaxer. So, like I said, I just am I relaxed irregular and then once I got halfway into a section, I would do the unprocessed parts. So once I got in the shower, I put a plastic cap on the front portion of my hair because I did the back. First, so I just went ahead and rinsed the back out and neutralized it some and then I moved to the front, took the plastic cap off and neutralized it and um washed it out. So that's how the process went if you guys haven't checked out the video where I said I wasn't getting a relaxer. You should definitely do that. I didn't feel like relaxing that particular month, so I went ahead and stretch for an additional month, which was three months. So during that time I believe that underestimated my new growth and I probably should have left my relaxer on more or a longer time than I did so. I believe that is where some of my under processing came from um and it honestly you could have been before because, like I said, I just apply the rocks and I wash it off, so I really don't time it um. I do know that it's roughly around 20 minutes, but sometimes that may change so to prevent under processing. I will um look at my timer in time my relaxing processing and also my only like I said I only corrected the fact I didn't correct the front or anything because I think I'm going to continue having my hair like the puffy, more textured, texture, so um. I did the back because, like I said it's really rough back there so um, it definitely is, but the process areas they're not like bone straight of course, because none of my hair is going straight. So I did touch up those parts in. I would just wait and see you know what happens and then I'm going to. I may correct some more. I just I'll just have to see my next relaxer. I will not under process um when I'm not doing a relaxer, so I'm not going to correct something and then go back a month later and then relax my roots, I'm just not going to do that. One relax today that that's all I'm going to do so to prevent under processing. You just want to make sure that you're timing, your relaxer, is making sure that you're using the same amount of time every time so that you know that your hair is getting processed. Making sure that you are basing your scalp and I'm also putting a protective oil or cream on the already relaxed ends, so you won't over process and then making sure that you're getting the hair on all of the new growth and, like I said, processing it. The same amount of time also you may want to, like I said, watch the portion that you put on first, you want to watch that first and then do the portion that you put on last watch that last, because your whole head isn't being processed at the Same time, unless you have two people working on your head at the same time or even four, if you do four sections, so it's self relaxing, if your hair is too long or too much or too much nope new growth for you to manage, you want to Make sure that you're letting a professional handle that because um it is such a hassle, I myself I've always self relaxed, but I think I'm going to start letting my mom do it or either going to my best friend for her to do it just somebody else, Because they can see through my head better than I can so I want. I don't want a under processing setback any more, so I am going to make those changes and make those Corrections and um everything will be smoothly. So, as you guys can see, I did cut my hair and it's doing much much better. It feels better. It looks better, so I am very happy and very satisfied with my correction and also just with the whole process. So you also want to make sure you either do a protein treatment before or after this process, because, like I said it's a lot that you're doing to your hair, you want to make sure that your strands stay strong. So I am going to do a protein treatment in two weeks, so I got my relax on Wednesday, so I'm going to do a protein treatment in two weeks so that I can make sure my strands are strong and that they're not breaking off or brittle or Anything so you actually do want to follow up. I think, following up with the protein treatment is what's best because um, when you put the relaxer on your hair, it's weakening your strands, so you want to make it strong by putting and your protein treatment.
