Relaxed Hair Update: From Thin To...Less Thin!

Twyla Jones: Your makeup is gorgeous! A very soft and natural look.

PEACHFACE24: People in general allow themselves to be pressured to do this or that however big or small the consequences. I have no desire to go natural. I tried the transition/ texlaxing stuff. Not for me. I enjoy being able to get up and run a comb and brush through my hair without taking 10 minutes to "finger comb". To each their own and don't knock it til you try it.

Raspberry: Black hair is beautiful, relaxed or not. Just a matter of personal taste!

Botswana Agric Marketing Board: The length of your hair is what I've been struggling to achieve and it is beautiful

GENIE: Your hair looks lovely

Tiana Monique: To everyone saying they'll never relax their....No one cares. Lol. I feel like you guys are just being "nice nasty" or passive aggressive because you feel relaxers are the devil. Stop acting like you've been natural since you came into the world. You are not a hair guru. You researched on YouTube like the rest of us. Thanks

dee doc: Your hair looks fabulous!! From the clips, your aunt knew what she was doing. Thanks for the update.

kmariamv: When I had relaxed hair products from Aphogee definitely helped. They make a Green Tea Reconstructing Leave in treatment and 2 part treatment I would recommend

Tyiece: Yes I love the ORS olive oil no lye relaxer. My hair is super soft and flowy after and it leaves great texture and it doesn't burn. Other box relaxers dry my hair out really bad and leave it stiff even after deep conditioning. Yeah I can only stretch to 10 weeks max, my new growth is 4c so it's harder to stretch.

Renee's Channel: looks like your aunt handled your hair with love and care

Naturally Dunn: You and your hair looks lovely. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing

Gloria Mc.: I'm glad I found this video, as I have been struggling with my natural hair for years. I tried many brands of shampoos and conditioners, different styles that left my hair tangled and matted from twistouts, wash n gos, flexirods and perm rods. I also made the mistake of dyeing my hair professionally and it's been dry and dull ever since and that's been a couple of years ago. I want to perm my hair but afraid due to color that is still growing out. Your hair looks healthy. Thanks for the video.

D'Aura McClinton: It's crazy cause Ive been relaxed since I was two . Although over the years my hair did break off due to me not really taking care of my hair and not really taking the time out to do it I can say relaxers works for me . Plus , I still have my natura hair blend in ( I'm not a fan of the bone straight look lol ) I do tend to put my relaxer in my hair every 4-6 months, oil my hair , I have a a whole regiment for my hair basically. And I love how this video is straight to the point .

LuClu81: Finally!!! I can't go back to any chemical relaxers because of my lichen planaris, inflammation of the hair follicles, so I'll live vicariously through you lol. Love your makeup lol, looks fresh faced and not caked on

Syleste Hoskins: Your hair is gorgeous! I went back to a relaxer last night, lol. Can't make up my mind! Can you do a tutorial on your makeup please? It looks so beautiful and natural!

About My Fro: I agree the trim really helped a lot; it made your hair look more fuller. When I was relaxed, I had really fine edges and my mum also would relax my edges at the end (stick with this aunt, she knows what she's doing!), or my mum would use the Mega Growth relaxer which is a lot more mild than most hair relaxers and it kinda acted like a texturiser. Wishing you all the best on your hair journey :) & I hope your car is sorted out now too

Kesha Petty: You are as beautiful as ever and your hair looks really good and healthy. Girl you're making want to relax again. I miss it to be totally honest.

Luz Febres: I really can relate! Do not worry. I when back to relaxed last December 2016 after 4 years of natural hair journey.

NuNu Huda: YAYYYY! Love your videos. You're so pretty ❤ blessings! Your hair has grown so much. Love it.

Cathye Cooper: She did a great job! Thank God for aunties Yr hair looks really nice! Glad you're feeling good about ittfs

Ty: I think your relaxed hair looks great. You have done a good job. I loved ORS when I used relaxers. It was my favorite.

TJ Radway: I love your hair, it was beautiful

Divine Duo: im also struggling with thin hair so videos like this can be very inspiring! not only have i been a subbie for a while, i actually love your advice. my sister and i a relaxed and have finally decided to record our progress here on youtube. you support would mean the world!! new videos coming soon ❤ ❤ ❤

A B: youre inspiring to relax my hair! i think ill do it in 6 months

DebraSkye: You hair looks lovely. How did you regain thickness after the first relaxer?

Mrsdevsgirl: Shout out to the aunties out there who know how to do hair. ✌. Your hair has more body and shinier. Rule 1# don't let a hairstylist fry your hair (got it). Thanks for sharing. luv the video.

T R: Your hair looks nice & thick. I'm glad ur aunt didn't leave the relaxer in too long to where it's bone straight. It still has a slight texture to it

Micaha23: OMG I want to perm my hair so bad you hair looks great!

Latoya Williams: Transitioning is going well for me this time.

Savvy Sion: This video has my seriously considering getting a relaxer . I keep telling myself to wait until my hair is longer to see if I enjoy it more. But I don't know. I'm still leaning 60% natural and 40% relaxed. So I guess I'll wait til I'm 100% convinced I want a relaxer .

ms.chelle: hair looks great

Shirley Owens: your edges are fine girl stop it. do what works for you.

Ossie R: The only thing I didn’t like about relaxing my hair was having to blow dry and flat ironing my hair after every wash.

A P: You look so pretty!

Ivi Franco: I do a relaxer every 3 months, cause if I don't my scalpm get SUPER HARD THAT I CAN'T EVEN BRUSH IT, IT WOULD BE SUPER HARD AND HARSH TO MY THIN HAIR! But after than that, my hair is really really thin from my mom... and i'd like to have it a lot thicker to just stop using extensions and finally be able to do two braids and not worry people can see my "fake" hair...

Natasha Nicholson: Keep your relaxed hair it looks great

Dani: Before going natural, I relaxed my hair with both lye and no-lye relaxers. There is a difference between the 2 and that would possibly explain the different textures you are feeling in your relaxed hair. The lye relaxer is the typical one that hairdressers use and it tends to leave the hair strands really straight, while the no-lye (box relaxer) relaxes the hair while giving it some texture. If you personally prefer a bone straight look then lye is typically the relaxer to go for. However, if you want some texture with your relaxer a no-lye would do the trick. Texlaxing can be done using both relaxers of course, but in terms of the look and feel of each individual strand, you will see a noticeable difference, whether you texlax or relax using both types of relaxer.

Ms A.E: I relaxed my natural hair too. and sometimes think of going natural but it's growing nicely. you should follow Kibibi hair her hair is mid back lenght she has great tips! !

E Rejo: Mix olaplex 1 with your relaxer to save your ends and prevent dryness.

Prophetess Lady Of Wisdom: Wow, aunty has skills. It looks very nice. You're very pretty. I see nothing wrong with your edges either❤

Coco Ortiz: You look great!!!!!!!!

BLESSED ANGEL: YOU GOT BEAUTIFUL HAIR. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO

Lonnie 1Love: I have heat damage so I have two textures in my hair always. I been rocking braids wigs this summer I probably rock rods or flexi rods sets. my hair is actually growing thou. of course I get my ends clipped

LaJessica Joiner: Dr. Miracle Hair dress is very good for your edges. I love all of their products.

TheKolourKode: I used to love olive oil relaxers lol you look adorbs

dashka jospitre: love your hair maybe you should try olaplex its great for chemically treated hair

Bertha Woods: love it an makeup looks great

nyaruot JJ: You are so pretty

Brit JJ: If your hair was not over processed the first time would you still go back to natural? Your natural hair is BEAUTIFUL but straight hair suits you. You seem less stressed having it straight too. Keep the updates coming

Velicia Hiley: You should get the Glamtwinz334 book. It is REALLY helpful. Deep moisturizing is an essential to great healthy hair. Relaxed or natural your hair needs that extra TLC.

Jasmine Foster: 40 minutes.... wow thats a long time, its usually only left on my head for no longer then 10 minutes

Loving Zee: Your hair looks amazing! But next time please wear a lighter colored shirt so that we can see your hair better. Great update tho

Asé: Alright so hilariously enough, when I went to watch this, I felt like I needed to run through all of your older videos first and lost track of time lol

Sharonda Griffin: You should look at some of prettywitty77 videos they may be able to help you while you're relaxing your hair... You're so cute Jenn!!!

1king2queens: I see many contemplating getting a relaxer again....everyone hair is different and her hair dream can also be another's hair nightmare...maybe this natural hair "thing" is a fad...

TaShar16: how long did you say you kept the protective style in for?

LA STELLA 🌟: This is why I hate relaxers they make your hair soo thin and the cause more breakage.

Daniel Chavez: My hair was chemically damaged. From overlapping relaxers over the years do june 2018 i buzz cutted it then 3 momths later today i relaxed my hair again after a while and half of my hair broke off. Lost my progress i wanna cry can anyone help? Or has anyone dealt with this before im goving it one komth and if it doesmt grow or its just looking damaged im gonna re buzz it

Raspberry: People often feel pressured into doing something specific with their hair. I say do what makes you happy. It won’t affect your health if your hair is damaged. Totally no big deal to either be natural or have processed hair. Just a matter of taste.

Subae: I thought about getting a relaxer again I seen this and it was like ugh let me get a relaxer

SherwoodAnderson: Thank God for Aunties!

gigglyfitzgirl: I can't believe it's been 6 months already.

Asé: Alright, Snapchat fam is in! Hilariously enough, when I went to watch this, something clicked in my head to watch some of

unicorn love for all: I appreciate that yre speaking the truth

India T: so you said in a previous video that you'll be natural by the end of the year. does that mean this was your last relaxer???

Sheryl King: I've never seen this young woman's vids before (I'm not a big YT watcher in general) but she is very very pretty, with beautiful teeth and makeup. I say that first bc she also seems sweet but......the hair is bad. NOT ugly, just unhealthy looking. Her edges actually aren't that bad, I think she's more self conscious about them than there actually being a noticeable problem to other people unless they're looking for it. But the rest of the hair looks very brittle and stiff. No movement or natural shine and body. All hair is dead of course, but sometimes relaxed hair has that limp/lifeless quality to it bc the constant overprocessing and overlapping relaxers (it's inevitable that there will be some overlapping, especially when done at home) just zap whatever "life" is left in the hair shaft.  The cut was a very good idea and I love that it was her aunt who took such good care of her (there's something about an aunt or uncle being like a second parent that gets me every time lol). But I would suggest at least once weekly deep conditioning, using low heat for the first 30 mins. Moisturizing (a spray water bottle with a dollop of conditioner inside is great and cheap!) and sealing DAILY. LOC method is awesome but I know it's hard when relaxed bc the point is to wear the hair straight. But if you're wearing wigs a lot of crochet braids, spray your cornrows and seal with whatever kind of oil you prefer. She's such a beautiful girl, I can't wait to see her hair flourish! Natural hair can be a challenge but just bc you don't get relaxers, doesn't mean you have to wear your curls all the time or twist outs etc. I've never done a twist out or damn near anything super creative even tho I'm at BSL right now. I just don't know how to master those things. I get a flat iron every so often, wear my hair down and curly or a big curly bun. I also do sew ins about twice a year for about 6-7 weeks while visiting the salon for biwkly shampoos and maintenance. And do some makeup vids! Such pretty application! And I'm stupidly long winded. Sorry y'all! Lol just keep scrolling if your eyes start glazing over lol

Eniye Mission: High, please the 15 minutes she left the relaxer on your hair, does it include the application time from start to finish, or was it after the application. Thanks

Etirah Williams: how did u get it to grow like that even with it being relaxed.??

Miss Earth Angel: Use castor oil in your edges.

Grrr oh my: hii i have a question. so my moms hair is relaxed but lately it is extremely extremely thin, and looks horrible.. patches, it’s not dry, she moisturize it a LOT so it looks like a wet look all the time but it’s so thin and clumped together and not healthy it looks so damaged snd dead. soo.. ANYWAY, my mom wants to grow out her hair i want to help my moms hair bc i’ve been growing my natural 4c hair very much and healthy.. but i’m not too sure what to do. i want to give her a pamper day, also i’m a teen, what i was thinking was that I can wash her hair with shampoo/clarifying shampoo, and then my question is, should i use a deep conditioner to bring moisture, or a protein treatment? and then i will wash it out comb her hair oil her scalp put leave in and cream and braid it and i’m hoping it will help her hair

Deem Abdelazim: Hi I need advice I did my relaxer at home by the full system of affirm i things I give it less time and it texture my hair instead of relaxed Can I repeat it soon or what for the next relaxer after 12-16wk

Gissel Gomez: My hair went from bra length to shoulder length

VidMerge: @4:50 Paper/Fabric Scissors??? No honey! Just, no. Invest in some good hair cutting scissors. Those fabric scissors are going to butcher your ends, cause severe splitting and reverse all your efforts!

JoyJoy B: omg u r so pretty

Bangpinkinyourarea: So I'm 11 years old and this boy keep on making fun of my hairline I almost went to detention because I was about to punch him So y'all know how I ended up here

Keely B: Hello Jenn, you keep saying your hair is over processed but I dont think so. I know you are concerned about your hair being thinner. I watched your past videos and your hair is much thinner now days. I too have noticed my hair thinning over the years. Have you checked your blood to see if you have a vitamin deficiency? If not you might have something else going on and your hair is trying to tell you something. I think you should get your blood checked.

Izzy Dahn: Can you do a video on why u relaxed your hair

Spitta Jenkins: Still cute

Desmond Evlvis: hi Jessica, Greetings from Germany. Will be nice to communicate with u

dee nadz: Yh that first relaxer was too much it’s not even supposed to be saturated all over the hair like that it’s just meant to be used on your regrowth/ new growth

cice0143: "from thin...to *less* thin"

StylezBy ROBIN: Nice

Ratidzo Kachidza: gurlllllllll I'm going crazy

Coralie Ciceron: Jenny!!!!!! OMG!! Its Coralie

osimeon00: Idk why you would go back to natural hair. I hope you haven't forgotten that your natural hair was thinned out and breaking off not too long ago. Your relaxed hair is in much better shape. If you continue to take care of it, it will grow longer. And I would recommend you stop using box no lye relaxers. That's part of the problem. They use calcium to relax the hair and the problem is they cause the hair to become drier and drier over time. Not to mention low grade products that are typically in box relaxers. Use professional no-base lye relaxers in mild and they will texlax your hair and you will still retain thickness and integrity of your strands. They don't burn either because they come with conditioners fortified into the relaxer.

Stacey-Ann H: please less talky on your hair's life story and more growth p.s no hate just advice here

smithsonna035: wowwww really

Linda Green: Hello your hair is so pretty u look good either way. Do U. have u herd about. Virgin Hair Verterlizer cream I JUST STARTED I'M NAUTRAL TO GOOD LUCK

Lonnie 1Love: I will never go back to the creamy crack. but I get it your hair still looks nice

aartistc: You look like Kiersey Clemons

Kayla Styles: I'm sorry but your hair needs a good cut. In addition to that some wrapping foam and a good roller set. Some stabilzer and saran wrap as well. Your hair looks extremely fried. It has no body to it. It's very stiff and lifeless. Your ends are ruined and your hair does not look healthy at all. You should really consider starting over. Implement hot oil treatments into your regimen everytime you are about to wash your hair, deep condition, protein treatments, leave ins, again add a stabilzer to your regimen. Reduce the flat irons and roller set your hair. Grease your scalp idk why the NHC are so against it. Our parents have been using hair grease in our hair forever. If you don't like HG then use castor oil. But put some kind of oil on your scalp. Castor oil works great. I'm not trying to be rude. I'm just being honest. I know sometimes people can get sensitive but this is all out of love. Can't wait to see how your progess will turn out. Tyfs

Girl: I feel like what you did was texlaxed

Refined Fire: Creamy crack craving over here. Lord help!

rosa mar: I understand the transition pain. I tried it but I couldn't do it. I went back to relaxing my hair

Queen عَraweela: Hun the audio is really bad.

LINDY UVY: your face kinda reminds me of Meagan Good

Jess: why not just put the relaxer on the new growth only? the rest of your hair is already processed. that way, your hair will most likely stay thick and on your head in general

Benie: Please get back to relaxing.

Ms. Woodard: your ends are fried as well and she should have cut more off good luck with those relaxersv no thanks for me

Karen Henderson: Go back to natural because your hair had life to it.
