Are we getting relaxers??👀

As y’all know, I’m in cosmetology school and I’ve been doing perms and relaxers since November. Are the girlies wanting to be straight again?

Me personally, I’ve been wearing my fro for so long - I don’t even know what to do with straight hair anymore.

I understand why the girlies would turn their backs on the curly community 😂 it’s ROUGH out here. The rules and regulations of having “natural curly hair” are absurd and y’all know what I’m talking about. At the end of the day - hair is hair/your crown whatever YOU want it to be and it will grow back🖤

If you’re thinking of transitioning or have already gotten a relaxer - let me know why in the comments - I’m curious.

... Read moreThe decision to relax hair can be both personal and transformative. For many, the allure of straight hair often stems from societal beauty standards or ease of management. However, it is vital to understand the implications of using relaxers. Relaxers chemically alter the hair structure, making it essential to follow specific care routines post-treatment. There are various types of relaxers, with some being more suitable for certain hair types than others. Knowing how to care for relaxed hair is crucial, as it can become more susceptible to damage. It's recommended to invest in quality relaxed hair products that provide moisture and strength. Many individuals find that maintaining a healthy balance between styling and care is necessary to avoid straw-like textures. If you're transitioning, consider consulting with a hairstylist experienced in both natural and relaxed textures for personalized advice. Such discussions can enhance not only your hair health but your confidence in styling too. For those who have already made the switch, sharing your experiences can greatly help others contemplating a similar change. Why did you choose to relax your hair? What has your journey looked like in terms of care and confidence? Engage in conversations, use hashtags like #relaxedhair and #naturalhairstyles, and build a supportive community around your hair journey!

I’ve been natural for 10+ years. Being natural is very time consuming & I want my hair to be the least of my worries. Along with not have to purchase my products every 2-4 months or so due to having very thiiiiick hair.

Stop getting relaxers unless you’re rocking a pixie cut ‼️ Here’s why ⬇️ 💆🏽‍♀️ Relaxers are a permanent chemical that breaks down your curl pattern. Yes, it’ll give you straight hair but it’ll also strip away your natural texture, fullness, and strength. Over time, that leaves your hair weak,

A close-up shows black hair with a white, creamy substance applied to a section near the scalp, held by a black clip. The text overlay reads "Glamour Witch tip," relating to hair treatments like relaxers discussed in the article.
An illustration features a woman with a large, multi-layered lotus crown on her head, extending into a fan of numerous eyes. She has a third eye on her forehead and is adorned with green vines, symbolizing spiritual connection and the crown chakra.
A purple watercolor painting depicts a stylized woman with long hair, raising her hands towards an intricate mandala design behind her head. This imagery aligns with the article's discussion of spiritual women and the crown chakra.

Did you know your hair is the extension of the nervous system? Inside your body your nerves are thin and hair-like. They are the reason we sense anything at all. The start at the tip of our toes and work all the way up to the tip of your scalp, a.k.a your hair. Your hair is a physical antenna.

Diy brow lamination & tint
What if you could get laminated, tinted brows... without the chemicals? No relaxers. No dyes. No over-processing. Just sculpted defined brows. Same look. Different approach. If you've been wanting that clean, polished brow look without committing to traditional lamination + tint.

Relaxer
I use professional relaxer. I do not buy relaxers from beauty supply stores or Sally's. Getting a relaxer is a personal choice so we keep our negative thoughts to ourselves. Natural hair (chemical free) is not for the weak. Relaxers enables my clients to easily maintain their hair between salon
