  • So super relaxers work at the same ph as regular relaxers? Also what if someone doesnt necessarily have coarse hair bit its just tight kinks.. is it better for someone to sit longer with a regular relaxer or just go ahead and use super? My hair is not coarse but my hairdresser keeps my relacer in 30 minutes and im still underprocessed every time

  • Comment removed

  • Thx for the info

  • IT DONT REALLYLOOK LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE LYK RELAXED

  • Is it okay to base my scalp from the night before?

  • u do a great job

  • You are a very careful hairdresser. The hairdressers at the salon I go to are very rough. I stretched my relaxer for about 13 weeks and the hairdresser just raked the fine tooth comb through my hair. I felt that all the tenderness I have given to my hair was lost. Not only that, but I also had three scabs [never had scabs before] by the time I was done. She would never go through my hair with base like that. never.

  • Excellent! This is the best tutorial Ive ever seen. Question : What do you do when the base thats being used is a more solid material in a jar such as Prostyle.

  • You should think about doing it in Kreyol....

    

  • i have a question i dont know crap about relaxers but it's cool to watch but why can't you relaxed the relaxed ends again? i seen some girls relaxed the whole head and they already had a relaxer plenty of times

  • @lilBubbles212 The reason you shouldnt relax the already relaxer hair is bcos relaxers have already broken down the structure and wave of the former relaxed hair by making it straight and losing its original curl pattern. If you relax that same relaxed hair again, the hair will become weak and then breaks off. That is why it is only applied to the new growth. Hope this helps.

  • @dupsiebabie Thank you so much that helped a lot no wonder why their hair is still at the same length

  • What a very clear, concise and informative video. There was NEVER a time when I felt lost. The camera angles were great. Combined with the education I received, that is what made the video a success.

  • Excellent!!! Learned so much! I also have really fine hair & you just confirmed for me that I should not be touching regular relaxers!

  • Very good!! I like how easy you made it look... If you ever have a chance to record a Virgin relaxer that would be great.keep up the good work

  • why dont yuu use tha brush? is it easier and faster with tha comb?

  • what brand of base are you using?

  • what r the products u r using while relaxing the hair? i stay in stmaarten caribbean island here we get lots of relaxers but i m not able to judge which relaxer is best for indian hair can u plz advice

  • I have learned more about how to apply a relaxer watching this video than i have in my entire life...you know what your doing. Most stylist know how to style but they know nothing about how to care for hair properly...YOU BAD GIRL!!!! Keep it up black girls need you.

  • ok hi what base coat did you use in the bottel please as it was water based that is very interesting thank you hear soon

  • ok hi what base coat did you use in the bottel please as it was water based that is very interesting thank you hear soon

  • Im interested in a career change to become a hairdresser. In the end does it matter what beauty school you attend?

  • I got a perm/relaxer in march and my hair has grown quite a bit I can't comb it from the root but if I just perm all my hair would that damage my hair? I didn't gt any touch ups like I should have.

  • which protective based do you use? what would you recommend

  • Love the song in the background. The one playing in the beginning of the video. The others are cool too but that singing in the first few mintues, caught my attention the most. Relaxing video.

  • thank u :)

  • i haven't had a perm in 6 mos. should i apply the perm all over the head or just on the new growth?

  • Awslme vid

  • I LOVEEEE THE VID!!!!!!!! gr8 explanation! :)... however wat did u use for the base? :(...

  • The client's curl pattern isn't very tight. If the curl pattern was tighter, would you smooth it more?

  • she is very knowledgeable about hair. i would love for her to do my hair anytime.

  • what product were u using to base the scalp?

  • I love watching this video. This is one of the few videos that I have to seen and she actually knows what she is talking about. I also like how she is POLITELY treating these people that think they can tell her about her client.

  • whoa! You explained the process, as you was applying the relaxer very well. This is one of the best and most informative relaxer application videos I have seen. I must add this to my favorites.

  • what ia the base u r using

  • Hi, love the video, may I ask what do you use for a protective base and if it's a professional brand, what other choices can I use as a protective base when relaxing my hair. Please and thank you.

  • The best ever

  • wow nice tutorial.but i cant do this to my hair xP

  • this is a great tutorial very professional thank you so much for this tutorial

  • wow you are really fast i have to practice lol i wish i was fast like that.

  • I like how you take so long to put on the baser(I don't say that sarcastically.) because you show that you actually care about your client, and aren't just rushing through it to get to lunch break, or something. Nice job :)

  • MAY I ASK YOU WHAT KIND OF RELAXER WAS YOU USING? LIKE WHAT BRAND IS IT ?

  • @Jolielove11 Thank you for watching my video. I greatly appreciate it.. To answer your question "whooooooa where is the new gerowth(growth)? My client had over and inch of new growth...her wave/curl pattern is not tight so its hard to tell by your untrained eye.

  • @mcbrideinc excuses..... just admit it wasn't due for another relaxer and stop lying!

  • ugh you just need to go on tour around the country doing perms lol. u are the ONLY person i would trust with my hair but you're so far away :(

  • Great video, next time I plan to do my relaxer im going to replay this video cause it's so detailed.

  • thanks for the video you are so thorough i think this should come in quite handy for my stateboard exam.

  • that doesnt look like vaseline. what is it?

  • This video was so helpful. I got my first relaxer when I was eighteen I am now tweenty and it has really been a journey. I ran into a wonderful stylist but I couldnt always afford to go to her so when I started relaxing on my own my hair took a hit. It has really been a journey for me. Your video was very helpful i had been processing my nape first and I kept wondering why it was breaking. Thank you so much

  • My current stylist doesn't base my scalp before applying the relaxer resulting in some burns. Right now I am still going to her until I find a new stylist, but is there something I can do at home before going in for a relaxer? I have heard I can apply petroleum jelly to my scalp as a base.

    PS. This is honestly the best video I have ever seen to shows the relaxer process. Each step is very clear and you gave a lot of information. thank you.

  • Is it important to refigerate the relaxer after each use?

  • what is base????

  • @nitamike Some people use petroleum jelly (vaseline) as a base the protect the scalp from getting burnt and irritated while chemically processing their hair. That's why she parted it and distributed it throughout the client's hair.

  • I love this video. I have watched it numerous times. Everytime I see something that I might have missed the previous time. You are very thourough and professional. Thank you for the information. Now I need to see a video on roller setting.

  • ahhh makes putting relaxers in yourself seem damn near impossible

  • this is so informative, i am good at putting relaxers in my hair as well as my daughter, this is so much good stuff and tips so now i know exactly how to apply this to my child, sh is twelve by the way. if u see thi comment can some one please tell me whats the best relaxer, conditioners, leave in conditioners shampoos etc, like i said i thought i was goo but this will let me becaome aware of what i havent been doing

  • If you dont mind what type of relaxer and base are you using?

  • I have viewed several relaxer tutorials and your tutorial ranks at the top . Your teaching is wonderful, easy to understand and detailed. I have learned so much, I feel like I can apply a relaxer on myself. Please consider giving a permanent wave(wave nouveau etc.) tutorial at some point. Thank you for the lesson.

  • whatis in the bottle that you refer to as "base"? thank you , in advance. many bklessings.

  • please tell me what is in the bottle you refer to as "base". thank you in advance =O)

  • @kocaj17 Hi there..how are you. Thank you so much for you're comment. Being as though her new growth is not extremely curly it may appear as though there is not enough new growth as you stated. However my client had over an inch of new growth and as you can see I did not spread the relaxer through the entire hair shaft. Just the new growth. On the other hand thank you for the false observation.

  • @mcbrideinc Thank you. My hair is similar to your clients so I CAN see the newgrowth. Anytime I try a new hairdresser they NEVER relax all of my newgrowth the first visit because they have a difficult time telling where the newgrowth ends especially when I'm coming out of braids! I make sure I only go to 1 hairdresser or do it myself (rarely) because there is nothing worse than having an underprocessed relaxer because the hairdresser doesn't know YOUR hair.

  • The relaxer tutorial was perfect! You did a wonderful job from one stylist to another!!t

  • Hi Kelle, I would like to know if you wouldn't mind sharing a video on haircutting, preferably just dusting the split ends, beginning to end on say a midlength style. The length of the relaxer, that was perfect.d

  • i wish you were in Houston, i don't why the stylist here relax and put the relaxer on the previously relaxer hair, why why and why?

  • This tutorial is VERY thorough and I appreciate how no-nonsence. I'm a subscriber! :-)

  • if my stylist was like that i wouldnt be anti-hair salons anymore. i miss going sometimes

  • I like this video I work at a salon on saturdays I wish I can show my boss this. She just hurries through basing all the time and then she combs the relaxer through on the scalp and then the clients burn all the time. Then to add fuel to fire she actually does a color after the relaxation process. I think all the time this shit is jacked up.

  • @Nyksism IF U CAN PLEASE SHOW THIS TO HER BECAUSE STYLIST GET CARRIED AWAY FROM DOING RELAXERS CORRECTLY AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE CLIENT ANS THE WELL BEING OF THEIR SCALP.

  • you went wrong you never comb through the relaxer

  • i just want to say thank you for not over lapping and showing us the correct way ! i was searching for a good relaxer vid for my collection now i have one! only thing i dont see any new growth????? you cant part my hair that easy when its time for my relaxers! lol

  • i just want to say thank you for not over lapping and showing us the correct way ! i was searching for a good relaxer vid for my collection now i have one!

  • is it me or does it look like she's being kind of rough parting the hair?

  • is it true that relaxers cause baldness because they are so damaging? if so, then why would people voluntarily get them? Just wondering

  • Iam planning to do my own relaxer for the first time but before i try it on me i want too try to apply a relaxer on a manikin do u have any suggestions on where i can purchase one :) thx

  • Try using Epitomi Relaxer System - 100% Pure African Shea Butter. Moisturizes, conditions and protects. Using your techniques and the best relaxer/straightening system on the market will give your clients results you can be proud of.

  • Comment removed

  • This is a great tutorial! I will practice with conditioner until my retouch time!

  • You do so of wonderful job, congratulations!

  • What base are you using for the scalp

  • Hi Kelle your video is great. We all want to have that exact vaseline in the bottle you have. Please tell us. Thanks

  • Did you recommend a lye or no lye relaxer? And what's the difference?

  • I wish someone had a video with how to do a virgin relaxer. Thank you for clearing up the misconception of a super relaxer. Your video is very informative. I really want to do my own relaxer because each time a pro did it, I was burned bad. I am afraid that I will screw it up. My medium sized fro may be uneven and need a cut. I wish I never BCD, now.

  • I had a texturizer go wrong. I would like to relax my hair strait, instead. How long do you wait until I can do it?

  • The great hairstyle that did my hair, smart about apply on the new growth, I though you had to put perm all over the head, had no idea damage the hair that way if put all over. I have question when getting perm done for third time, do have to apply to new growth? Also if stop relaxer for while about three months or more just give your hair break, do you apply the relaxer all over the hair or just on the from the roots like your doing on the video?

  • Mcbrideinc.  Big up to you, I love how you answer everyones questions and even when the appear to be negative or critical, you never hate.

  • Thank you for this video, i myself dont need a relaxer but my mother does and she doesnt like to spend the money goin to the salons so she turns to me and of course i youtube it!! lol and load and behold i found you and it was very informative. i want my mother to look good and having nice hair is a start!!

    Where can i find the protective base you used or one like it? and the leave in conditioner?

    thanks!!! =)

  • @yessicarabbit the base u just can use any petroleum jelly base or just use Vaseline and leave in conditioner usuallycomes in the perm box or u can buy a sperate brand at walmart or a hair supply store and choose which brand u like

  • thank you for tips

  • What was inside the white bottle?

  • can you do the same for white people hair?

    or something else cause white people hair is thinner?

  • do you wash the hair first before you relaxer it?

  • @ppickett21 no no no! you never wash your hair before a relaxer because you can cause serious burns and irritation to the scalp from the manipulation and your pores being completely open from washing your hair prior to the relaxer. you must allow 48 hours after washing your hair before getting a relaxer.

  • great video personally, u should do more videos of relaxers perhaps on coarser clients and maybe even some natural hair press videos to see what your choice on oils or no oil etc. what shampoos and conditioners to use for those things but overall great great video, i'm a stylist myself and thats the way u maintain great hair!

  • I like they way you relaxed with the exception of combing through the newgrwoth..Everywhere that I've read about relaxing states not to comb through, so I was curious about that..Also in part two did you use any leave in's or heat protectant? The final result was really nice though.

  • @shouyien thank you for the comment. As for the combing, you have to or else the relaxer will not get to all the strands evenly. You just have to make sure you don't comb the scalp itself. Just concentrate on the hair. Yes I used a leave-in conditioner.

  • excellent this the way to relaxer hair. good video.

  • what type of baster did you use?

  • idk if my hair will look like hers cuz hers looks like shes had it done already

  • Does anyone know what she is using as a base? I have looked in the beauty supplies and the relaxer kits and don't see anything that is called a base or a relaxer block, anything similar. Please post what to use to protect the scalp. Thanks,

  • @chrissis111 No one can tell you what I used because I used it. To answer your question you can use any petroleum base jelly. It doesn't matter the brand honey.

  • @mcbrideinc When I Relax My Hair I Dnt Base And I Dnt Experienced Any Burning Or Dandruff After .... Iz Their Any Reason Y I Should Still Base ....Plz Respond !!!!

  • i relax my hair and everytime i wash it ,the next week, it looks like it doesn't have any perm...wat should i do?

  • Wow! Your real good! Really really good!

  • extremely informative....thank u madam

  • What are you using as a base??

  • what is she using as a base?

  • From one stylist to the next...very professional and good info. Much success to you. Do more videos.

  • where would i get a good scalp protector??

  • first sylist that i met that knows wats she's doing!!!!!

  • how about all other stylists get fired, and you get cloned?

  • @SaggRex girl you are funny! But there are a lot of stylists that are really professional and keep up with the latest in hair care. However they are few and far in between. Thanks for the love though!

  • Great job! I have a question: How important is it to base the scalp? My old hair stylist rarely based my scalp when I used to get relaxers. (Yeah it burned) I don't get relaxers anymore but she continues to relaxer her clients w/o basing

  • @marna52 It's such a misconception that it's ok to relax w/o basing the scalp. It's extremely important that you base the entire scalp bacause a relaxer contains sodium hydrozide and it burns the top layer of the scalp even if you don't feel it when you don't base the scalp. When that happens it creates dandruff and dry scalp from the top layer being burnt off. So what the stylist is doing a wrong and unexceptable.

  • So that explains why I've always had horrible dandruff when I got relaxers. I had no idea! Thank you for answering

  • finally a stylist that knows about proper relaxing! Good job 5 stars for you

  • hey why do yu put base on hair b4 the relaxer? i never knew why

  • @corbin332 you use the base to protect the scalp from any irritations from the relaxer.

  • @mcbrideinc ok so yu use that all the time or just sumtimes?

  • Great video. Where can i buy the base? or can i use Vaseline?

  • @SFVone you can get the base from your local hair supply store. However many base forms come in jars. When that happens you would want to buy a color bottle with a narrow nozzle and transfer the base from the jar to the bottle. Once you have done that you want to apply the base to the scalp with the applicator bottle and not your fingers being as though your fingers carry heat and the rubbing will irritate the scalp even more.

  • @mcbrideinc Do you know the brand of base you used? I've been to a few beauty supply stores(like Sallys) in socal and they tell me to use vaseline.

    I would like to try base.

  • @SFVone they should have the prostyle brand there. it comes in a jar. Most of the time it's a salmon pink color. I go to sally's and they always have it. Or go to the local beauty supply other than Sally's.

  • i love the video the lady knows what she is doing i wish every hair stylist was like her

  • I was always told that you shouldn't comb through a relaxer, but I see that you did. Is it okay to gently comb through a relaxer on a virgin head of hair?

  • what kind of protective bas was that?

  • Are you in nc. if so I would def. come to get my relaxer

  • hi what are the best relaxers for sensitive scalp ,what about soft & beautiful botanicals & avlon affirm?

    which is better relaxer or keratin?

  • what base did you use on the clients hair and where could i find it?

  • omg I wish you can relax my hair

  • I must say, this is the BEST relaxer tutorial I have seen yet. You were VERY informative, descriptive, professional and precise. I was so disappointed with all of the other relaxer tutorials on YouTube so I am so glad I found this one. Thanks so much!

  • it looks like u were missing some of the new growth

  • @crazycrack09 no i got all of the new growth. She is a regular client of mine and she only had just about an inch of new growth. I think you may have been looking to hard,

  • You were very quick and efficient! I like this, keep up the good work , you are a jewel to our trade!!!!

  • this is such a great video

    thankss !

  • Thank you. Also is gel activator with protein and moisturizers in it, good for your hair?

  • how do u apply relaxer to hair that a glue still in it???

  • just try to apply the relaxer as best you can. it still works with the glue. You just have to comb out the glue during the shampoo process before you apply the reconstructor.

  • I love your videos, i'm a new subb!!!!!!!!Will you be posting any more videos?

  • You are a great teacher. I've become so accustomed to using a brush I need to go to the comb. I always start at the nape and now I see I was so wrong. Thanks for this tutorial.

  • your welcome reeseshery! i'm always here to help if you have any other questions =-)

  • thx...nyc hair(nice hair) lol

  • treaser1 thank you for that. there's so many abbreviations nowadays.

  • nyc hair.what other hair products did you put to the hair before applying heat?

  • just a small amount of moisturizer and a little heat protectant. what is nyc hair?

  • What relaxer brand are you using?

  • in the video i'm using a relaxer by pure essence system I. unfortunetely you can't buy that relaxer in stores. Unless it's illegally being retailed.

  • thanks mcbrideinc and nunaavane. i know i should tell her but i've known her for so long and i am not the confrontational type. i only go and see her like every three months or so i guess she thinks that i have accumulated a lot of new growths so its ok for her to do it. i also hipped myself on anticipating that she will apply it to my whole head, so i moisturize my relaxed her five days before i go and see her. i guess im thinking that that will protect the pre-relaxed hair

  • Thank you for posting..what kind of base is that you are using?

  • i usually get a touch up every three months. my hair is really course. in the smoothing part of the process my hair stylist seems to love to smooth the relaxer through my entire hair. i don't want to say anything a upset her but i also don't want over processed hair. what should i do?

  • tell her not to ! ! ! this will end up killing all your hair ! please stop her !

  • OH NO!! Your stylist is doing one of the most incorrect and damaging things you can do to someone's hair. You should and have to say something to her about it. In all seriousness I would go to a new stylist. You can express to her/him in the beginning what has been going on and hopefully the new stylist will be better. Please leave your current stylist ASAP!!!

  • When I relax I get great instant result and then after about 4 days to a week it becomes frizzy my roots look terrible and sometimes start to shed hair and then it calms down again but never looks like it did when it was first relaxed. Do you have any ideas or suggestions I could try. Thanks

  • this is a great video! i just have one question. my hair will NOT part like you parted her hair. my mom is doing my relaxer and she won't be able to get a comb through to the 4 sections, much less the 1/8 inch partings!! what should i do?

    Thanks, Hailey

  • ok well why won't your hair part? Do you have a lot of new growth? Is your curl pattern very tight? if so you can apply any leave-in conditioner or regular creme conditioner to loosen the tight curl pattern. You don't have to saturate the hair. Just add enough to loosen the hair. That will help a lot!

  • it won't part because this will be a virgin application cause i've never had my hair relaxed before. but i will try this and see if it helps. thanks!

  • what kind of relaxer was it

  • PURE ESSENCE....

  • Thank you very much for the video. There are many videos on YouTube that show how to apply a relaxer, but yours is one of few that show the CORRECT WAY. Plus, you're playing Chrisette Michelle's Epiphany in the background. Loves it!!!

    Question: Can you please tell me where I can get the relaxer base in the squeeze bottle? Is that a professional product only?

    God Bless!!

  • Thank you for the comment. I'm glad you picked up on the Epiphany playing in the background :D As for the base, yes it's only provided for professionals. However, you can buy regular base in a jar and distribute the base into a store brought applicator bottle. It works exactly the same. don't for get to rate subscribe and check out my new slide shows!!!!

  • @mcbrideinc - Hi! You mentioned that we can buy regular base in a jar and then put it in an applicator bottle to apply. However, whenever I see base at the store, it's thicker than vaseline so I'm thinking that if I put it in an applicator bottle, it won't come out as easy as yours did. Is there any base on the market that is the same consistency as the one you just used? Or is there something we can mix with the store bought base so that we can squeeze it out of the applicator bottle easier?

  • Hi. Congratulations. I have watched alot of videos on here and this is in my opinion the best, just out of interest what was the total time for the product was on her hair?

  • Thank u 4 the comment! after the 8 minutes for application the remaining processing time took about 6 minutes(total 14min). My client has fine to medium hair and it relaxes easily. the processing time varies from the texture of the hair.

  • Thanks for this. I have just relaxed mine and got the same fantastic results. Nice and light! Bless U x

  • Wish I could part my hair that easily when my relaxer is due... ohh boy - it's so thick I have to do it inch by inch!!

  • Good luck, Liz on your quest.
