Assuming the functionality you want it to only keep the value of the string after the /, not just to simply replace the 'Hello/', try this:

$(".textBoxes").blur(function() {
    var values = $(this).val().split('/');
    $(this).val(values[values.length-1])
});

You can use RegExp to replace the unwanted string(s) with a blank string:

$('textarea, input[type="text"]').on('blur', function () {
    this.value = this.value.replace(/(hello\/)/gi, '');
});

This regular expression looks for any instance of hello/ (case-insensitive) and replaces it with a empty string.

Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/K8xMf/
