Currently sitting here smelling like a burned chocolate chip cookie trying to get rid of the smell before honey comes home😢
Day two. Baking soda did the trick. All I did was wet my hair, did a paste per my daughter's suggestion and voila!!! All gone
@@ArtByLynn7070 that is a very good idea. I like it. A mini detox hair mask. Excellent.
@artbylynn7070 when you wet the hair did it it ruin the flat ion style? I’m natural and my hair smells so bad. I paid handsomely for the style but can’t wet my hair or it will flip to an Afro. I’m going to have to ask my stylist to clean her plates 😫😫😫
@@sheilau7617 I have been natural for over 10 years. So if my hair gets wet too much or i'm in humid temperatures my hair will revert. But there's many times where a drop of water has touched my hair and it just rolls off And my hair stays straight. Ask your stylist to do a clarifying wash To make sure there is no residual product and Condition with something that is moisturizing but not too waxy. And she should definitely be cleaning those plates. My plates get the gunky buildup after 3 uses. A quick wipe with alcohol on a cotton pad cleans it perfectly. And then let the plates dry properly. I have a hot head and I like warm showers. After 12 days my head top smell sweaty but the hair is still straight. At 14 days I'm washing it. The struggle is real. ❤️❤️❤️
@@sheilau7617 find natural tube and yes it did ruin it excellent idea to clean the plates and I was so frustrated that I just went out and bought a whole new pair but I've definitely just been natural ever since I'm so afraid to flat iron it because the stink
Lol number four made me laugh because of how you explained the issue. Also I would never thought that people are actually spending time to straighten their hair while dirty, but I am happy you brought it to the viewers attention because you never know.. Thank you this video was great!
Thank you soo much for watching. I remember back in high school girls would re straighten their hair after gym class. The worse time to put heat on the hair. Lol.
girl youre a lifesaver ily
Thank you. I hope some of the tips help. 🙏 ♥️
Wow you explained this really well! I am always so embarrassed of the smell of my hair and i put perfumes to cancel out the smell which damages my hair even more so thank you for these tips! i will try them!
Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed. I think everyone has super embarrassing hair issues and that's why I like to talk about them in hopes that they won't feel soo embarrassing. ❤️
@@shanikacorb Thank you so much!! xx
Yes
The smell is actually from a reaction of heat coming in contact with the chemicals in our hair’s molecular build up, I.e proteins minerals. Most burnt hair smells like peanuts. It’s the heat reaction with the keratin and sulfur in our hair, peanuts have the same proteins and are mostly made up of protein. George WashingtonCarver back in his day made very effective hair products from peanuts, and peanuts were a common thing used on black hair because it was high in supply and highly effective for hair growth and care back then. I did a report on him in 4th grade. Dirty hair being heated definitely does give it that peanut smell but it’s all due to the breaking down of the proteins and minerals in the hair the hair is weakest when it’s dirty or wet etc. I always questioned this and did research on it and I always thought of peanuts and when I looked up the molecular structure of peanuts it’s very close to the molecular structure or hair.
Hello. That is sooo good to know. I love learning the science behind hair, especially the big common hair problems. The explanation you gave is perfect 🥰 it also gives a bit of reassurance that straightening the hair isn't something that should be totally feared. 😉
@@shanikacorb yes I agree mostly because there is so much to learn esp when it comes curly/coily hair. And yes it shouldn’t be feared but I do believe it’s lack of knowledge and most of it comes from the breakdown and science of hair.
@@TheNylah absolutely. I hope to one day be able to take some beginner level hair classes to know the science behind hair and how products are formulated. Soo much to learn indeed. ❤️
Thank you for this 🖤
You're so welcome! I hope it helps. Especially now that we are in a season of lots of straight hair styles. 😊 thanks for watching.
Thank you. I couldn’t understand what was happening. I rush it. I don’t be wanting to blow dry my hair and using product when flattening.
Thank you for watching. I hope the tips are helpful. That burnt smell is no fun.
Informative, thank you. I usually wear my hair in its kinky texture but recently pressed my hair after several years of no heat. It looked fine but smelled burnt 😩😆
Thank you for watching. I am glad you enjoyed. If the hair looked okay, you probably have excellent prep and styling in place. It could just be that the hair reacted in a shocked way and slightly burned. Are you willing to try it again and see if you get the same smell?
@@shanikacorb Yes, but I’ll lower the temperature next time lol. I had it on 425 😬
Bring it down to maybe 400 or 375 and make the pass a bit slower and see if you can get the same kind of results. Your hair got a bit scared and said ouch. But it's okay. It's a learning process and you can always build up to 425 again. ❤️
@TheSoulIsPrismaticTV 450 which is the settings my daughter used. My hair is unrecognizable and my curl pattern is ruined!!
I got highlights and silk press at a beauty college almost a month ago. She burnt tf out of my hair. it's been weeks still trying to get rid of the smell :( They tried to play dumb I said Im not tripping I promise just how do I get rid of the smell? They played dumb so I had to do some research. Spent that money for nothing because I only had it for 3 days before I had to wash it or something. I used baking soda it helped A LOT and Im going to use apple cider vinegar tonight because it's not all the way gone yet. It looked so good but it stank :( Im going to attempt to do it by myself today and tomorrow and I have no experience doing hair. I have everything I need though. I think she didnt get my hair all the way dry. Ill make sure to follow all these tips and Ill let ya'll know how it turns out.
Thank you for watching. I hope the tips help. Now girlllllll. I'm sorry that experience happened to you. I'm thinking the same thing, that it wasn't dried all the way and it fried smell from the water droplets sizzling. Orrrrr, potentially, the heat tools they were using might not have been very clean. Its easy for heat tools to get gunky build up on it, especially in the groves on the sides of the plates. The next time i ever go to get my hair done by a salon or someone using their own tools, ill be keeping an eye out for sanitizations jars and if the tools are icky. Just in case. You have tried really good methods for getting rid of the smell. Keep me posted indeed please. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I always have the burnt hair smell and it drives me crazy. I'm most definitely going to change the way I straighten my hair.
The burnt smell can happen soo easily to all types of hair. There are times for me still where I will smell a burnt smell on certain sections and I can tell I did something wrong. Thanks for watching. I hope this year is burnt smell free for us all.😊♥️
Great video, how do you get rid of the smell to start over?
Hello. When I had the burnt smell in my hair, I would let the hair air out while hanging down after it is straightened and then put a hair serum or hair oil on my hair and wrap it up in a bun or large single braid and cover it up with a scarf or bandana to let the oil penetrate. The smell is gone the next day when I unwrap my hair. But if the burnt smell is really strong to the point where it's too overwhelming for even you to stand, then i would just re wash. I have found over the years that even with really good techniques, some home products don't smell good anymore after the hair has been straightened. Something about how the ingredients react with the heat. I use to use lusters Pink lotion when I first started doing my hair as a teen and my hair would get straight but the smell after I straightened was awful. Like burnt plastic. Lol.
@@shanikacorb thank you great tip. I was talking to my mom she said to put baking soda with my shampoo and even vinegar if that doesn't work.
@@normabarros3124 the baking soda is a really good idea, great for neutralizing smells. 😊
@@shanikacorb 😀
Hello thank you for the information.If the hair should not have moisture before straightening., how long should you wait after applying a heat protectant spray before you actually pass through your hair with the iron? Isn't the spray itself adding moisture? I should also add that I was told to put protecting on before blow drying, And then put another protectant on before pressing with the flat iron. Is adding that second round of heat protection where I'm making the mistake because I'm literally adding moisture to the hair again that's not needed at that point? In other words, should you only use the heat protection spray or oil before blow drying and don't add more when you pass through with the iron?
Heyyyy. Perfect question. When I first started using heat protectant spray again I would alternate between only applying it before blow drying and then sometimes again when putting the iron on. I didn't like the effect I got when I applied twice. Buttttt. I make sure to apply heat protectant very evenly on all my hair ( top to bottom, inside and out) before I blow dry. And then I'll wait atleast 30 minutes after blow drying before I go in with the iron. Gives my strands a chance to fully absorb the moisturizer and heat protectant without there being too much residual wetness on the outer strands. I think it's the wetness that can really make the sizzle sound and give the burnt smell sometimes. I have tried doing my hair with no added moisture or product in the blow drying phase and my hair gets frizzy, reverts faster, and has a weird static effect. From being tooo light. Double check that the heat protectant spray you use protects up to as close as possible the temperature you set your iron too. I have also noticed that some heat protectant sprays seem like spraying a fine lovely mist vs a super soaker water gun. And some have a higher water content and don't evaporate as quickly as others. Which spray have you been using? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thanks for watching.
@@shanikacorb Thank you so much! I've been using Dark and Lovely Blow Dry Creme for the blow dry then IC Fantasia Heat Protectant Serum before the flat iron. I would let my hair air dry mostly before applying the blow dry creme and blow drying. Then, I'd apply a little serum to each section and flat iron right after applying. My iron was set at 375 and I'd wipe the plates before using but would still get the burned smell. I even noticed it after a silk press at the salon so I figured our hair just burns although I don't recall smells back when I was a kid and my mom would press my hair with the old school hot comb on the stove. I will try your suggestion to allow more time between blow drying and flat ironing and give the serum time to absorb. (Lately by the time I finished washing, conditioning, and blow drying, the whole day has gone by and I'm ready to press it and finish up and be done, LOL ). Thanks again for the advice I'm looking forward to giving it a try. 😊
@@alewisscott I think you are using good products and you got a good routine. For sure give it more time between the steps. It's exhausting the entire day process. I used to always wash at night and then straighten the next day so I'd have that extra 16 houra atleast for my hair to dry and absorb and my arms could rest. When I was younger my mom was using Lusters Pink Lotion. Loved the smell in my hair before heat was applied but then after I smelt like burnt plastic going to school. Lol. Keep me posted. I still really like the Tresemme Keratin smooth heat protectant and the color wow dream coat.
So when your hair is wet after a wash, you only put oil and heat protectant on it? No hair lotion, milk, butter, or leave in?
Heyyy. After I wash my hair I apply the cantu daily oil moisturizer as my leave in with my heat protectant spray (cantu thermal shield) and then blow dry and Straighten. It's very rare that I won't add some form of cream or leave in cause my hair will feel too thirsty and get a bit stiff. I apply a light oil or serum after straightening to help keep hair fresher softer and frizz free between washes. 🥰
@shanikacorb thank you for replying. I love my flat iron, but it's old, so it has years worth of crud on it. I've tried cleaning it off, but maybe the alcohol will do it better.
Also, I wonder if I do overkill with products. I have low porosity, so I use different products to try to get it moisturized and sealed. Maybe my hair is too wet by the time I'm done. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
@@shanikacorb do you recommend a certain brand for flat irons?
@@teeny1028able a little bit of alcohol after each use helps to keep the plates clean. Sometimes I just wipe it off with the damp towel that I used for my hair. Back in the olden days when I was young and used pink lotion, it would always leave my hair feeling damp and weighed down cause it was soo thick and I was heavy handed so blow drying and straightening never came out good. So I had to learn to be really light but even when applying products. Took years to perfect. But watching videos helped soo much.
@shanikacorb ok I will take that into consideration. Thank you.
Can you recommend hair products before straightening please?
Heyy, I have been using the cantu thermal shield as my heat protectant, and I use cantu daily oil moisturizer before blow drying. Smells of both are similar and keep my hair smelling good as well. 😊
@@shanikacorb thank you! I just tried your tips and my hair smells so much better after straightening 😊
@Sonya Williams that is awesome. I am glad i was able to help. The smallest changes can make the biggest impact when it comes to straightening our hair. 😊
Don't no if I missed if you said this or not. How do you clean your hair straighter.
@@shanikacorb How long do you wait after applying the heat shield before you pass through your hair with the iron? I was under the impression You should apply the heat protectant spray or oil right before you press it. But if those products are adding moisture as they protect, don't they need time to dry? I'm confused on when I should start the actual flat pressing process after applying a protection product.
