What’s going on.

It has come to my attention that a lot of YouTubers who were part of the natural hair community are putting relaxers in their hair. I am not judging anyone and my blog is not a way for me to talk bad about people but it’s a way for me to express myself and have a voice. This is just my opinion, you can do whatever you want with your hair; you can cut it, go bald,  dye it or perm it I don’t care.

You all know I put a texturizer in my hair in 2020 after the pandemic because I was under a lot of stress and I became tired of my natural hair. For those of you that doesn’t know what a texturizer is I will explain: it’s a chemical product you put on your hair to make it straighter or less curly it’s not like a perm that will just make your hair straight but it’s still a chemical. Me personally I will stay away from perm and texturizers because those things can cause uterine cancer, they can damage your hair and cause hair loss. I will not use this in my house ever again not on me and especially not on my kids when I have kids. Look I get it having natural hair is not for the weak, it takes a whole day for you to wash your hair and style it. On top of spending a lot of time on your hair, the hair products are soooo expensive! I went to my local beauty supply store to buy products because I have really thick hair so my products doesn’t last that long… and my hair is growing I don’t know what I will do when it reaches my back! I need to start saving money now lol anyway I spend a lot of money to keep my hair moisturized. I didn’t spend that much money when I had a relaxer in my hair but my hair was falling off like crazy too. 

It’s dangerous to use relaxers in your hair because it causes a lot of health problems, most relaxers and hair smoothing products release  formaldehyde gas which is basically poison like why do I want that?. Those relaxers also  burns your scalp ( my scalp is still recovering  from the burns I got in 2021!) and you are just destroying your hair more and more each time you put in your hair. If I want straight hair I can just get a straight wig or straighten my own hair with heat ( I also don’t like yo use heat on my hair not even a hair dryer). I am not doing relaxers anymore, I learned my lesson.
