The Truth ABOUT Hair Relaxers

Like I said before, this is not a damn Public Service Announcement and this is not me force feeding you anything. I searched for facts because I care about MY DAMN hair and the things I put IN or ON my hair.

That led me to go natural a couple months ago (9 months strong). And this is not me telling you what to do. Most of my viewers are grown and know what they want in life and if you are truly happy, then you shouldnt get angry..lol. If you agree then you agree, regardless, you should voice your opinions as to WHY you dont agree. If you cant do it in an EDUCATED way or explain your STAND by making sense, then please move to the next video.

This video is about hair relaxers and the information that I have gathered from the following sources.

FDA - http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/fdahdye.html

At the end of the day, it is UP to you and regardless of if you choose to perm, dye, fry, dread, braid, etc your hair is YOUR HAIR and you need to have some type of INTEREST in your HAIR and HEALTH.

Keeping your hair natural is NOT just a simple task, and neither is relaxing your hair a quick fix. Read UP about your hair please, if its the one thing you do for yourself.

can we stop the relax vs. natural hate? black women don't need anything else to tear each other down with. it's sad. accept people's hair choices and move on. why does it matter to anyone but the person wearing the hair? people are more concerned about what chemicals are in their hair than on their food. we're in a financial crisis, we're killing the planet...more important things to get upset about people!

LOL idc what ppl do to their hair. Honestly this whole natural vs. relaxed is bs its just another way for us to separate eachother instead of coming together. Yes relaxers can be harmful but, NOT if use correctly look at ulovemegs channel... she is relaxed and her hair is BEAUTIFUL and Long. There are WAY more important issues then Hair.

@ktf111111 I'm sorry but your point comes off ignorantly. In a democratic nation, there is freedom of speech. She is obviously voicing why SHE stopped perming her hair and relaying that message to people that give a damn about their health. This is not "relax vs. natural hate", she cares about her black community SO MUCH that she wants to share something with us. This is no different that what vegans and animal activist do. Open your minds. Not everything against what you believe is an attack.

[caladbolge]

it's true my mom mix the wrong chemicals and it irritates the scalp of my sister and she immediately washed it off thankfully.

Yes, it is an individual's choice whether to relax or not but you should make an educated decision. You should not be willing to loose your hair over a perm!

Thank the "Willie Lynch Letters" it said this would continued for years to come, meaning our race, and the way we tear each other down.

Relaxer's Are Bad for Someone's Hair I they Didn't Take Care Of their Hair Right With a Relaxer, & Just Because Someone Has a Relaxer Doesn't Mean they Can't Have Unhealthy Hair Natural !
