Same! My scalp can’t handle going long in between wash days. I used to have a really dry, itchy and flaky scalp as a kid. Weekly washes stopped that. I can’t go back lol
Thank you for saying this. I struggled with my 12 year old daughter's 4c hair trying to keep her natural texture with no visual progress. Her scalp gets itchy and flaky by the end of the week. I wash, deep condition, blowout and use flexi rods to maintain her hair every weekend. Not only is it better for her hair, but it is less maintenance and low manipulation for her hair. Should have started this blowout routine when she was 8 years old and could have seen better length retention.
Starting to blow dry my hair every wash day was the only thing that stopped me from sitting in someone’s chair to get a relaxer. Definitely saved my hair i think+ having a more consistent routine.
My weekly blow out is a rollerset typically with pressed roots (i do try and push to two weeks when i can). I deep condition every wash day, i bond treat every other wash day, i protein treatment my hair once a quarter. I dust my ends any time my ends are straight and i notice lots of splits or single strand knots. I haven’t noticed any loss of curl pattern at all (i still mini twist my hair 2-4 times a year taking a break from the above routine)…and i swear my hair grows a bit every single wash day. I am growing out some protective style damage so i eventually plan to go more than 2 weeks between micro trims…but keeping my hair stretched is a game changer to my hair health. I wear down, a clip, or loose low ponytail and i see my density coming back. It’s not for everyone but it’s def a great method to retain length!
Yes to all of this! I came here because I need a in between routine outside of straightening because I know I cannot straighten my hair every 9-10 days and expect to have thriving curls 😅. I had to come to the conclusion that I hate sitting around with wet hair and I simply cannot go long without washing. I wish but I just can’t.
I totally get it - I'm the same way! I don't like waiting for my hair to dry. I got things to do! Lol A blow dry is a good in between. You don't need bone straight hair all of the time. But a stretch blow out will take you far! ❤
I wouldn’t recommend using shea butter when heat styling as that can fry your hair. Heat styling is not the best for high porosity hair because your hair is already prone to dryness. If anything I would lay off the hot comb for now. The less heat the better. And make sure you deep condition before using any hot tool. Hope this helps 💕
My clients who have used the Revair say it doesn’t get the roots well. What do you think? That’s why I’ve been sticking to my comb attachment because I know I can’t get in there lol
@@timelesslymirnaI actually don’t have an issue with my roots more so towards the ends of my hair…the texture is still slightly there. Could be user error though since I’m very new to the RevAir. I suck at using a regular blow dryer and I feel like it’s too damaging for my fine strands so I prefer the RevAir. I’ve been loving stretching my hair every week! Thanks for the video!
It’s all in the prep! Put as much moisture in your hair with deep conditioning and styling products and only use heat once on wash day, don’t straighten your hair later and you will be fine lol
Absolutely. When my hair is blown out I’m not dealing with a ton of knots and tangles, so I don’t lose a lot of hair when detangling in wash day. And it helps me create easy low manipulation styles. But I also wash and deep condition my hair every week. So my hair is always moisturized and nourished. I wouldn’t recommend doing this if your hair is constantly dry. Build up the moisture in your hair first. So it can withstand heat styling.
My puff style lasts me for a week. I wash my hair weekly. At night I just pop a bonnet on and fluff in the morning. If my hair needs a reset I use a leave in conditioner and retwist my hair in flat twist and style in the morning. I only retwist once a week.
Absolutely! Using grease to straighten your hair is the equivalent to frying your hair with oil in a pan 🍳 Always use products that are designed for heat styling such as a blow dry cream or an oil based heat protectant. This way you can prevent your hair from burning and causing heat damage.
So nice to see someone doing this WEEKLY. I can't go 2+ weeks not washing my scalp.

Omg same here. I’m so grateful for this video !
Be careful wearing puffs. It causes a very specific type of breakage pattern. I also have very fine, dense hair
Yes! This is true of any style done too often or styled roughly. Be gentle with your hair and change up your styles for sure ❤️

Yes! Thank you for sharing! It definitely helps you to take better care of your hair ❤️
She’s speaking facts about that scalp!!
Thank you!! We gotta let them know 💕
Blow drying & Roller sets help my hair stay soft👍🏿Less split ends.
Yes! You’re not fighting with your hair all of the time and your style is set! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Agreed!

Blow drying my hair makes it more manageable.
Same! I think it has definitely helped me retain length because I’m not constantly detangling my hair and causing breakage and split ends

Thank you for sharing, I’d love to see more 4C hair care from you because your hair profiles are almost identical. My hair gets whimsey too
Absolutely! I’m glad you found it helpful. More tutorials on the way 💕
My hair band never stays in place, I need to add hair pins.
Yes Bobby pins are essential!
I like to blow dry and hot comb 😅is that too much? I use shea butter and a heat protectant
I have fine high porosity hair
I wouldn’t recommend using shea butter when heat styling as that can fry your hair.

@@timelesslymirna yes mam thank you for the advice 🫶🏾
@ you have low porosity hair?
Try the RevAir
My clients said it doesn’t get the roots well, what do you think?
New subbie, great video!
Thank you so much! Yay! Welcome 🤗 💕💕💕💕 Let me know if you have any questions or video suggestions. I’m happy to help!
You would love the RevAir hair dryer!

I’m really scared to do a weekly blow dry in case of damage 😩
It’s all in the prep! Put as much moisture in your hair with deep conditioning and styling products and only use heat once on wash day, don’t straighten your hair later and you will be fine lol
Try blow drying on cool. That should be less damaging
Thank you
You’re most welcome 🤗 I’m glad you found the video helpful 💕
@@timelesslymirna yes very useful
But does it helps with length retention ?

How long does this puff last? & What is your night time routine for this style?
My puff style lasts me for a week. I wash my hair weekly. At night I just pop a bonnet on and fluff in the morning. If my hair needs a reset I use a leave in conditioner and retwist my hair in flat twist and style in the morning. I only retwist once a week.
Hey do you blow dry your hair on high?
Hi hi!👋🏾 yes I do
I've seen some girls on TH-cam use grease to blow dry or straighten their hair, is this damaging to the strands?
Absolutely! Using grease to straighten your hair is the equivalent to frying your hair with oil in a pan 🍳 Always use products that are designed for heat styling such as a blow dry cream or an oil based heat protectant. This way you can prevent your hair from burning and causing heat damage.
