For the era we have entered into for naturals transitioning to stright naturals you are now our queen B. Please take advantage of this new era by showing us each step in great detail.❤
Chile my mom and her sisters were straight naturals growing up and they're in their 60's-70's now. I wish they had internet back then to show their regimen because their hair was so full and beautiful!
Thanks for going over the products that you use to keep your straight hair healthy and to maintain that look for a few weeks. I understand what the Color Wow Dream Coat does but once it prevents moisture from penetrating, do you feel that it also prevents your oil or moisturizers from penetrating until the next shampoo? I'm particularly concerned about that since it says it will protect your hair from that moisture acting as a raincoat for 3 to 4 additional shampoos. That's a long time not to have moisturized hair
I would love to attempt this but I live in a humid environment. I would love for y’all Str8 hair naturals to explain how y’all get through a humid/ summer environment…
Yeah I’ve gotten the straight silt already when I’m in the house but as soon as I step outside it’s like static touched my hair. It still flows but it’s not flat flat how it was in the house
After you press hair, you must wrap it & put a plastic cap on, then sit under a hooded dryer for 10 minutes on the medium cool setting. This closes the hair cuticle and prevents hair from swelling as much from the humidity.
Your hair is beautiful! Great video. To answer the question about silk press vs. flat iron: a silk press is a specific technique used on kinky curly hair for a weightless, flowy result. The process of taking tightly curled hair to straight and silky is a silk press. The process that our grandmothers used with the hot comb and grease on natural kinky/curly hair was just called a press. When using a flat iron on relaxed hair or naturally straight hair to get a smooth, straight look, it is just called flat ironing. I've seen videos going around saying, "Silk Press on relaxed hair." But there is no such thing as pressing hair that's already straight. They can press out their roots, however, if they have a lot of new growth. I work at a hair salon chile, so I'm always asking questions, lol.
Hi. I’m a new subscriber and I love your channel. Your hair is gorgeous. I am a straight natural too. When I wore my hair curly it only grew to my shoulders, but now that I am a straight natural my hair is down to almost my hips. Straight natural is healthy ladies. Don’t let people scare you into thinking that it’s not good for you. I go to the salon to get my silk press, but I want to start doing it myself. Can you please do a video about how to begin silk pressing your hair and how to be confident that you can do it the right way so there is no heat damage. I bought a Chi Titanium and ceramic flat iron that has a digital temperature control so that I can control the heat on it. I just need the confidence to be able to do it myself. You mentioned that you color your hair and wondered if you are still natural. The answer is yes you are still a natural with coloring your hair. What makes someone not natural anymore is when they do something to break and change the chemical bonds in your hair like a relaxer or a keratin treatment. Hair color does not break down the bonds in your hair to change the curl pattern so naturals who color are still considered natural. ❤️
Aw thank you so much for subscribing! Welcomeee! And yesss I figured I was still considered natural but with all these new rules and stipulations they like to put on what is natural you can never be too sure lol
@@ZeneseAshley You’re welcome. Since I posted that comment I did some more research and I decided to get a CHI digital ceramic flat iron because I have read and seen in multiple places people saying that people who are new to flat ironing their hair and people who want to be safe should use ceramic flat irons instead of a titanium one.
Yes! I tried to keep everything listed in order! I typically wash my hair every 3 weeks.. and I try to use the Olaplex treatment at least every other wash! If I used any additional heat on my hair after my initial straighten then I’ll use it for sure to help make sure I don’t suffer from any heat damage.
Hi! I love your videos, they are so helpful. I apologize if you said this in the video but I was wondering how often you do your routine / how long you’re able to make your silk presses last? :)
Your hair is beautiful!! You shouldn't use a clarifying shampoo every shampoo. when you do use a clarifying shampoo, follow with a shampoo that's not a clarifier. The olaplex # 0 should be left on for 10 minutes only, then the # 3 for 10 minutes. When you condition your hair...rinse will cool water to close that cuticle. When you flat iron or curl your hair... you're opening that cuticle back up... after you finish curling wrap & sit under a cool dryer to close that cuticle back up... I had to break the science down. I'm a licensed Cosmetologist & instructor. Oh & oil does not moisturize your hair. The sebum from your sebaceous glands bassist conditions your hair. You should never oil your scalp. You will eventually end up with scalp infections....yeast will form.
I love you! Found you on tiktok and had to go to your TH-cam to sub, you’ve inspired me to go this route for my natural hair journey and i’m so excited! I had a question how do you maintain your silk press when you shower?
Aww thank you so much for coming over and subscribing here!! I lovee to hear that! For the shower I usually just flexi rod my hair, throw my scarf on and then put my bonnet as well as a shower cap on top! just to make sure it's super secure and no moisture will make its way to my hair.
I use it everytime! I think that 2-3 shampoos isn’t for us natural girlies, esp. since I wash my hair every 2-3 weeks I think it’s okay to use everytime!
Sorry, I didn't mean to put my comment where I did under the person right under me with the www.in their name but I want you to see it. Additionally I've noticed that a lot of people use the olaplex but didn't they have a problem or a lawsuit?
Hello…are you referring to an attachment for the Dyson blow dryer or the Dyson flat iron? I have both but I’d love an attachment if it’s available. Thank you so much! ❤
Did you get your EAP Heat flat iron on Black Friday? If so do you remember how they were selling it for? I ask because they are SOOOO expensive. I want to get it because it looks like a good quality ceramic flat iron but that price gives me the creeps lol
Yes!! I bought on Black Friday in 2022.. I caught it when it was either 40 or 50% off! They are definitely pricey, so I made sure to get it during one of their sales!

Does anyone know if she mentioned how often she washes her hair?
Silk press is a long intentional and informed process that turns your hair silky smooth, not kinky straight, lol. Flat ironing is kinky straightening your hair with heavy products and oils, which essentially fry the hair. So no, we do not flat iron and use greasy stuff. Lol.

All I want to know is how you keep it straight for more than an hour or so when it is humid . My hair would shrink even with the relaxer.

Your hair gets resistant to humidity over time!
Yeah I’ve gotten the straight silt already when I’m in the house but as soon as I step outside it’s like static touched my hair. It still flows but it’s not flat flat how it was in the house

Hydration/steam treatments during g the deep conditioning process over time keeps my hair straight and stops my hair from puffing up, reverting
@@KrysNichollethat doesn’t work soon as I seat it puffy lol when I was relaxed I didn’t have that problem

I use it everytime! I think that 2-3 shampoos isn’t for us natural girlies, esp. since I wash my hair every 2-3 weeks I think it’s okay to use everytime!
Yes the shea moisture dcs are good
So so good!!
What heat temperature do you put flat iron on? How many passes?
Have you found a good way to sleep on flexi rods? Those things are uncomfortable to sleep on.
I only use 2-3 rods so it’s not super uncomfortable for me. But I know the more you use the more uncomfortable it is.
Hair eating for real! 👌
Sorry, I didn't mean to put my comment where I did under the person right under me with the www.in their name but I want you to see it. Additionally I've noticed that a lot of people use the olaplex but didn't they have a problem or a lawsuit?
i love this video , your so pretty
thank you so much! 🥰
Thank you!
Have you tried the Dyson flat iron? I love it because it come with the built in comb / chaser
Ooo I haven’t! I’ll have to look into trying it out!
Hello…are you referring to an attachment for the Dyson blow dryer or the Dyson flat iron? I have both but I’d love an attachment if it’s available. Thank you so much! ❤

@@Didi_Love7dry shampoo
I feel you on that blue Magic
How often do you wash your hair
Can you do a hair journey 🙏🏽
Yes!!
😍
How do you wrap your dry hair around the flexi rod ?
I can post a video! Put I typically just do 2 or 3 flexi rods!
Do you use dry shampoo
Sometimes if I’m really trying to stretch it! I used to use the Dove dry shampoo, but more recently I’ve been trying out the Saltair dry shampoo.
Def still considered Natural imo, just got a little razzle. 😂
What temp do you use with the flat iron
410!

Hi! I love your videos, they are so helpful. I apologize if you said this in the video but I was wondering how often you do your routine / how long you’re able to make your silk presses last? :)
