GIRLLL you calmed me down lol. I just got my hair straightened by the Dominicans, and my hair had so much heat damage after i washed it. So much stringy and straight pieces randomly all over. I cried so hard. Ive been natural for 2 years now, and now I feel like it was all for nothing. SIGH!
+Breanna Gardner SAME !!!!! OMG THESE DOMINICANS IN QUEENS, NY GIRL THEY AINT NO JOKE . Lesson learned . lol they use so much heat but the results look beautiful . but girl they damage my hair too the point where my hair wouldn't even curl when i washed it . i had pin straight hair smh.
Use Creme of Nature's Strengthening Milk Masque to revert back heat damage. I've had heat damage for a couple of months and nothing worked, but when I used this it completely gave me my curls back!
KayV BTS It does work. At least for me it did, after the first use. I wasn't expecting it to do anything that early but it went right back to my curls when I finger coiled, versus before when it would just stay straight. I didn't have to cut anything. I came back to find the original comment so I could say thank you@showscience. 😉
I had a similar experience after having a Dominican Blow Out. I discovered that they use silicones in their products. This will significantly change your curl pattern and make your hair very dry. After some research, I washed my hair with a sulfate shampoo (Mane 'n Tail) to strip away the silicone. Drenched my hair ( making sure every strand was saturated) in mayonnaise covered with a plastic cap and a thermal cap and left it on overnight (total of 12 hours). Rinse out the mayo the next morning and saw that my curl pattern returned back to its normal state and not as much heat damage as I thought before. Next, I towel dried, sprayed my hair with black tea (makes hair soft and lessens shedding) then I saturated my hair in my deep conditioner (It's a 10) covered with a plastic cap and thermal cap. Left it on for 8 hours. Rinsed. Combed out with Grapeseed oil and warm pure organic coconut oil. Twisted hair in medium size twists, pinned twists and covered hair with a silk wrap scarf. It works. No Big Chop!!
Been natural almost two years, flat ironed my hair once every few months and didn't get any heat Damage. Flat ironed my hair ONE time with a titanium flat iron, hair was straightened to the gawds lol. 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Washed my hair a month later and had two to four inches heat damage ALL over my head. I mean my ends were bone straight with no chance of a curl😭😭😭. My hair was past collar bone length, now it's barely shoulder length. I didn't waste anytime, cut the ends off and back to my protective styles. 😢
***** oh well I actually should have seen it coming because I went to a salon but was not sure if they used heat protectant or not. I should have told her!
Shaya Kells it's actually not as hard for me not to flat iron my hair because I was used to having it in braids all the time because my mom would never let me wear it out, now that I do my own hair, I wear it out all the time, so I'm really not as tempted to flat iron because I'm used to something else. It is harder for others though.
Crystal I got a haircut and tried removing hair dye and now my curls are gone again lmao I can't...If I don't find something to repair them I will shave my head..I can't.
Staying away from using heat has been really hard for me. In 2 days it will be 2 months since the last time I straightened my hair. I am honestly proud of myself.
Curls Unbothered LOL! I used the aphogee 2 step protein treatment. I was worried at first since I heard it could go wrong but i'm really happy with the results! My hair is getting better though my wash and go's aren't as tragic now :) how often would you recommend doing the protein treatments
I wanted to come back and let you know that I bought the protein treatment and followed the instructions, and you are 1000% right. It's WAY better than the egg treatment. My hair is stronger and I BARELY see any hair falling out. The difference is CRAZY! Again thanks for the tips!!
Thank you so much. I'm only 11 and 4 inches of my hair is heat damaged. Thanks for the video now I don't have to get my hair cut from my shoulders to my chin.
I just subscribed and im 1:35 in i needed that patience talk, i'm on the verge of cutting it off! Lord knows i knew there must have been another way *exhales*
Hey Evonna, for some reason I cant reply directly to you comment ! I have a wash day video in the works now which should be up soon! And I don't use a hooded dryer since I've discovered the Thermal Hair Care Conditioning cap! IT'S LIFE!! www.etsy.com/shop/ThermalHairCare
I didnt actually realize how easy it was to get heat damage. Like the other day I straightened my hair and it honestly looked so good and it felt amazing and it flowed so nicely and then I washed it and my hair didnt completely bounce back like it used to. I was so sad lmao but I'm glad I found this.
I remember freaking out so much when i discovered that I had heat damage. I first thought that to solve the problem was to blow dry it straight so people couldn't see it... I realized that the more heat I used the more damaging my hair got. I learned to just be patient and basically that's all you can do. If your keeping it clean and using protein treatments etc. Your hair will recover!!. I'm still working on my hair and taking care... but it takes time. You gave great advice and gave many hope !!
The wheat protein really helped. My ends started looking a little better. My curls don't look terrible but now it's a wave and not as much of w curl anymore
Hi - I took my hair out of locs n go a dominican blowout a month after. My hair DOES NOT HAVE ANY CURLS what so ever. So now I'm in search of something to give me my curls back. I'm going to try the hydrolyzed wheat protein. I've been using Kenra moisture conditioner bc it has the wheat protein in it for the past two weeks plus used the smelly apogee protein step 2. Hair is still straight. I know it will take some time so I've been doing heartless curly styles. I'm so grateful for my TH-cam sistas sharing their experience n knowledge.
Can you list all products? I don't have time for all this talking! I have very dry damaged 4c Afro hair, I tried to dye out my hot GREY roots! Hated grey / white hair roots! I used my saviour, Fudge Time Machine hair treatments, especially Top Lock, Damaged repair conditioner & the Volumiser conditioner, along with Coconut oil, hot oil treatment and OGX keratin conditioner! No or little heat and henna wax! OGX hair oil and the brilliant FUDGE HED hair oil! Also a good tips to soak hair in RICE water spray, that helps! UK 28.8.24 🇬🇧
New subbie. I realized I damaged my hair over the weekend and was doing research and all I kept seeing was big chop. I wanted to cry and grab the scissors after over 1.5 years of growing my natural hair. Thank you for this video. I look forward to future videos and visiting your old ones.
Carina Rankine NOOO dont do it!! It's time to go into ultra TLC for your hair. Hopefully your damage is less severe than mine and you will be fine in no time!!
Funny enough, my curls are back now after a few washes and deep conditioning. I realized the damage wasn't as bad as I thought, the horrible burnt smell went away, and my hair looks healthy again! Thank god I didn't go with another BC because I was on the brink of crying. Thanks again!
i haven't straightened my hair in months and when I decided to do it a few days ago I made sure I used a ton of heat protectant and deep conditioned it beforehand. but now I washed it and it's still straight. 😩 I'm so sad and upset. what the heckkkkk. does anybody else's hair take a while to revert??
Hi thanks for the tips they really did work!! YALL SHE IS NOT LYING AT ALL I TRIED IT AND MY CURLS ARE BACK NO MORE STRAIGHT HAIR!! I really want to know how I can get that sweatshirt next! That is my alma mater
what products do you use to moisturize your hair ? like for your twists and the way you have your hair in this video. what products did you use to style your hair ? I would like to see a video where you explain the products you use on a daily basis, how you use them, and what protective styles you use.
I’m crying my eyes out because I sent my 16yr old to get a silk press. Before her hair was nice and curly, but now when it’s wet it looks like it’s been blow dried. I’m soooo heated I can scream!!! I need help ASAP!
thanks i actually just gave my staightner too my friend and was like you can keep it because if its at my house i will USE IT!!! but thanks tho! my hair is way healthier now
I bleached my hair one too many times and then added color on top😩 That was last month, I'm just planning on protective styling it for the next 4 months. 1 month down, hopefully by fall they'll start to come back
My hair was down to my back (past bra strap) naturally curly... Well... I flat ironed my hair ONCE with a heat thermal and all that good stuff. Well.... It was time to shampoo my hair and my hair (Entire Head) is heat damaged!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what to do :( I can't believe that my healthy long hair is now damaged because I flat ironed it once. I'm so sad. Can you offer tips? I did the aphogee 2 step, deep conditions, I just clipped my ends and it still looks horrible
Hey Georgine, so it seems like you're taking all the right steps to help your hair recover! You'll see the difference in time honestly, go back to your regular regimen and continue the protein treatments. It took me 2 years to get my hair to look like it does now, unfortunately with this type of damage there is not instant solution. In the meantime, you can use perm rods or flexirods that mimic your curl pattern and achieve similar looks as you did before. That's the only way I made it through, no one really knew how damaged my hair was because I did styles that looked a lot like my natural curl pattern. Sorry this is long as ever lol
Lisa A I believe those are for damage that is minor, my damage was too severe for a quick fix like that. It's been two years and I'm still working on it smh
Just now seeing this after chopping off my daughter’s heat damaged hair. She wanted it straightened and I used heat protectants that didn’t work. I didn’t know about silicones🤦🏾♀️. They did work but I didn’t use a strong enough shampoo to remove them.
The only problem with eating tools is the only way I can really get my hair done is flat iron because breeds are usually always too tight. And I don’t know how to tell my mom that I’m pretty sure my hair is damaged. Like my hair is curly but my ends are straight and have been for a while.
🙌🏽 love this vid! I have about 6 cm to go. I am a year and 7 months in now and so excited to do my final cut in about 4 months from now. You just hyped me up 🙏🏽
Thank you for your heat damaged hair tips I did get some of mine cut in to a cute bob like style. Short around the back and sides. This was 2week ago already growing back. I have plenty of natural growth showed up from the cut. Still lot of heat damaged left around the top sides, very top and back. So I'm going to the hair store to buy some products because I was on my way to get cut some more. Don't really want to cut any more. Thank goodness for people like you.👌
I stumbled upon this change cause I got me up on some heat damage on one side of my head. I already know tip #1 is gonna be my struggle. I need to get up on some of that protein treatment. I agree that Aphogee protein treatment smell like bad eggs and feet! Very helpful tips. Thanks.
CharliGirl868 you're welcome! Document from the moment you start, sometimes it's hard to see progress when you are dealing with your hair often but pictures really do help to highlight how far you've come.
I don't use flat irons, I absolutely refuse to. However, I went back to the lady who did my big chop for a trim and rod set - that's all I wanted! She had her assistant, who didn't speak good English, blow my hair out bone straight. The lady was literally blowing out my hair like we were in the Dominican salon because my stylist claims she couldn't trim my hair wet. A week later, I wet my hair and begin picking out my afro when I notice a small patch of straight pieces dangling. I'm highly upset behind this, and will never allow anyone to style my hair again. I'm so lucky that the heat damage isn't as bad as it could have been. To add insult to injury, she overcharged the hell out of me, and I didn't leave the salon until 8 at night even though my appointment was for 1030. Never again!
Saw this recommended and clicked to watch just in case. Then SUGAR DADDY happened and was all I could hear lol, had to press replay. Thanks for the tips, crossing fingers I won't need to put them to use. #D'AngeloSupport! #NaturalBlackPeople!
(Hopefully you're still answering questions!) But I just got my hair straightened for the first time in like...4 years to get my hair trimmed. Now that I've washed it out: I don't have any broken strands or straightened hair or anything, but I feel like my hair doesn't coil and bounce like it used to. I'm gonna try the protein from Green Beauty Channel, but that's not my issue. I want to know if indirect heat is going to be a danger to my hair at this point. I just bought Curlformers (I'm late as hell, I know!) and I want to at least start the drying process under a hooded dryer, but I can stay away from that if it's gonna make things worse. This answer is honestly open to anyone. Any and all help appreciated!
I personally use indirect heat every wash day when I deep condition. That type of heat is a lot more gentle on the hair because you aren't actually manipulating the hair plus using heat. For perm rod, flexi rod, or Curlformer styles I still use heat protectant if I'm going to sit under a hooded dryer.
@@curlsunbothered You gotta get back on it lol. Seriously I was searching Devacut and yours popped up. I've been looking at your page ever since. I love your hair long and short.
i flat iron my hair everyday and now my hairs obviously very damaged I also relax every few months I cant stop straightning my hair I feel because I feel the girls at my school would make fun since they are all white
OKAY NATURAL TH-cam YALL GOTTA HELP ME OUT ASAPPPP! My close friend is mixed and her hair is EXTREMELY heat damaged, because her mother is white so she never learnt how to care for her hair. Because of this she straightened her hair for most of her life (she is 16 now),she also dyed it a couple times and now ever since her mom decided she needed to go natural she has no idea what to do or how to care for her hair, she doesn’t own a SINGLE product for curly hair 😭. But me being the awesome friend i am and knowing how to care for kinky patterned hair because (I have 4a/b) hair i am trying to help her find her natural curl pattern (because my girl doesn’t even remember how her curls look) but like i keep my hair in protective styles so i cant recommend products and definers and conditioners as much as i would need to help her. SO NATURAL TH-cam SEND HELP GUYS SENDDDDD HELPPPPPP!!!!! P.s her heat damaged hair is really similar to the one in the thumbnail which is what brought me here
I've had natural hair for a while and I've actually been taking care of it for about 5 years and I got it straightened one time. It was to my tailbone and it was really beautiful but since I've washed it it's been so dry and damaged. It's infuriating but I guess I learned my lesson.
Thank you thank you thank you for this video! I promise the moment you said "put the scissors down", I had already looked at some cute styles for the big chop. Patience is going to be my main struggle. I will definitely try to stick to these tips. 👑
GLAD i saw your video i went to the salon on Thursday and I'm worrying already i think the stylist use too much heat on my hair now friday coming is my wash day agin and I'm really nervous I was planning if its damage I'm going to cut my armpit length hair and start from scratch i really don't want to so I'm glad i stumbled on your video its frustrating because i use heat like every 5 months i have gone a year with out using heat its so unfair. but thank you for your video.
I've been doing sew ins for a year and I have grown some inches since then because I'm not obligated to do daily manipulations to my hair. However, I do have to do protein treatments due to my heat trained hair. Thank you for this informative, but fun video.
I just big chopped after 2 YEARS and I tried my hardest to apply heat on only special occasions , and I believe that I did. When I was big chopping I noticed that some strands would be curly at the top , then less then one inch of the strand would be straight and then the rest would be curly, AND THEN the relaxed ends . Is that heat damage?
I recently had just gotten my hair straightened and when I washed it oml I had so much damage I cried to hard I cut it and when I washed it again this week I still see dead ends I’m not gonna cut my hair this time I’m gonna give it some time to grow
So I will be purchasing this green beauty protein because I have heat damage in the front of my hair and I can't wear my natural hair because it look stupid !
When I was younger my mom wanted to try this thing in my hair because she didn't know what to do with it because she's not black and therefore doesn't has hair like mine.. and I begged her not to do it and she was determined to do it and when she did SHE TRIED TO FREAKING PERM MY HAIR not knowing what she was doing , and she did it completely wrong and chunk after chunk after chunk of hair would fall out , she raced me to that hair dresser and I lost so much hair and now it's so damaged and I lost about 5 INCHES that day because she had to cut my hair because it was horrible and it hasn't grown since
I keep all my heating tools under my sink tangled up. That way if I reach for it, I cuss myself out & get mad. Then I just end up two-strand twisting my hair lol 😂
After I watched your video, I purchased some Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, not the brand you mentioned though. I must say it has made my hair feel stronger the first time I used it. I'm gonna try it on my daughters hair, she has some heat damage.
Great video I'm newly natural still in TWA phase but I am so scared to use heat now after seeing all these things on TH-cam. I think I'm gonna stay away from heat at all costs maybe for my one year natural I might.
THANK YOU! You know my issue was that I used heat excessively, I forgot all about moderation (silly me). But if you use heat once or twice a year, on a setting that is appropriate for your hair texture you should be fine. I definitely understand the hesitation though because dealing with damage is ROUGH lol
I really don't know what my curl pattern is. I always say my hair shrinks but doesn't have a pattern and I also was in love with having straight natural hair but now I want to take the adventure of trying to rock or learn how to rock my hair in its natural state and I don't know where to start
If you have damage then you can do styles like two strand twist outs and braid outs in order to create a uniform curl. I decided early in my journey to use perm rods because my signature style was two strand twists. It's about find a style that you like and going with it. And as you build up your confidence trying new styles and techniques.
May you please help me! I had extremely perfect curls, I let this one lady dye my hair in 9th grade she bleached it, and it was bleached for about 3 weeks, I wanted another color so she dyed it purple, after that it turned red on it’s on then it turned orange,pink,blonde,white and red, and my hair started to shed, it started to feel very rough, my curls weren’t the same, and my hair was very short after that, then my mom took me to a salon and I got my sides and my back cut low, and now I’m trying to grow my hair back but mind u this was 3 years ago, I’m now a senior in high school my curl pattern still isn’t the same it’s very very kinky now and it’s not growing back.
+Curls Unbothered Lol thanks ! & its going well . I've noticed that my hair is more bouncy , the curls look super tight & my ends aren't as bad & when i brushed my hair out it was a little bit above my breast bone . when i first started it was at the neck region though .❤
Patience is what I didn't have after my first BC, so I did a second one lol. Did the second one and still got some heat damage, so now I cut half my hair off. Lol...love and hate situation lol...but you are correct. Patience is important. Your new subbie btw. :)
ervina19 see I just couldn't imagine BC'ing at that time. Waiting was my only other option lol. I'm at the point now though where I prefer my curly hair over my straight hair. After a day or two I'm over it lol
I have been two years post. and I blow dried my hair on the cool setting. and then I gelled my hair to a bun. when I washed it I realized my hair was looser than it was before. and now parts of my strand don't curl like it used to I was soooo mad BC appearantly my fine, thick hair can't take the cool setting on the blowdryer 😩😩😩😩
wet ur hair with hot water then apply a thick moisturizing conditioner then an oil on top.( i applied oil, conditioner then oil again to my sons hair a few days ago because i blow dried it then flat ironed it to make sure i cut off all the bad hair) wrap it up to make ur hair and scalp hot add leave it in over night. Rinse out with hot water then apply ur leave in conditioner and moisturize like u usually do.. Curls poppin again.. if not keep doing it over and over again every week plus moisturizing every few days
So this is my question....All I need to do is keep my hair conditioned, low maintenance styles, protein treatment and the occasional trim and my hair will revert? Without having to cut it all off at once? Because my hair is damaged. +curls unbothered
Yes 5 years ago I had got a perm and my hair was super damaged and falling out and once I became a sophomore in hs I start learning how to take of my hair. So when I start doing wash and go my hair was scraggly and dead and I start learning how to do twist outs, Bantu knots and doing treatments my hair start growing and my curls start popping again until last year I went to the Egyptians and they damage my hair really bad so now I'm recovering ☹️
Hello I love your video concerning heat damage and wanted to ask what was the wheat protein you used. It was a quick shot of it and I did not get the name of. My heat damage is mostly in the lower back of my scalp. I did not realize it was heat damaged until I saw your video. I had not flat ironed my hair in years. And I wont anytime soon. Thank you again.
You are soooo funny!..but very informative!!!!...YOURHAIRISSOOOOBEAUTIFUL!!!...thank you for making me smile:)...ps this is my sons log on animal jam (8yrs old)...(me name is Shelley)...take care Sunshine!
I'm glad I found your channel. I was going through the same thing. I have some ends that are stringy from heat damage. I've been clipping my ends and deep conditioning. iwas about to cut my hair which I really didn't want to do. But now I'm not going to do it since watching your video. I'm going to take some of those tips that you listed and work it from there. Thank you so much and by the way my daughter attends Howard. So yes big ups to H.U.
First off I wanna say I love your hair! I've been transitioning for a year now and my hair is still in a akward stage. Some hair curls when I wet it or stays mushy but after it dries it's all puffy with stray curls here and there. I had lots of heat damage my hair has improved over the months just not as much as I thought it would. I wanna get a protein treatment to see if that would help but my hair isn't breaking off and I've never had any chemicals in my hair before its actually pretty healthy I don't wanna risk messing it up.
Thank you!! I have the same issues, there are at least two large sections of my hair that look like reverted straight hair versus curly hair (it sucks). My hair never broke up either, but the protein (for me) helped restore my curl pattern. If you have doubts then I wouldn't do it. I do a TON of research before I try anything and make sure I can deal with the consequences no matter the outcome.
my curls are healthy except for the curls on my crown they're just straight and puffy always dry. I don't know what to do? it looks horrible when I leave it natural.
+Esmeralda Mejia I have a similar issue and a tip I've heard is doing consistent steam treatments. I haven't tried it myself but I plan to see how it works.
Thanks for suggesting The Real Protein treatment. I am going to give it a try. I use the Aphogee 2 step one as well but I can't take the smell or stickiness of it anymore. I love your videos keep it up!
Jourdan Quintana RIGHT! That was my go-to protein treatment as well but it's just tooooo messy. I like this treatment much better! Thank you so much love!
I really needed this video. I have heat damaged ends on certain parts of my hair and it's sooo frustrating. I was just considering doing a mini chop but I'll try this first for a year and see how it works
I'm 16 and I have heat damage and I have had breakage from it over the years and I just don't know what to do and school is coming up. I didn't use heat for the whole summer and it still seems to be getting shorter I don't know what is happening. please help if you can!!
its actually better to do big chop unless you want to have multi textures. but at the moment I can't do big chop beacause I'm in school I got know time for everyone to ask me why I cut my hair or am I a girl or boy which is sad.
Well contrary to popular belief everyone has multiple textures. I don't have heat damage anymore but different sections of my hair have curl types. Some are tight, some loose. But what you do with your hair is your business. You don't have to answer to anyone :).
I have heat damage and the stylist I go to now isn't scissor happy thank God she said don't big chop but the straight in some areas when I wash are breaking,did you have that problem
I hope this helps me. I asked my mum to straighten my hair ONCE. We use heat protection spray and everything, but this large section on the left side is not curling back at all and it is stressing me out.
Im a new subscriber and first off your beautiful..i love your video and i saw that treatment on another video but you made me more interested thank you!
I started documenting my progress so i would take pictures every month. Because of that I was seeing a difference within the first 6 months. But it wasn't until the 2 year mark when I really saw how much progress I made.
GIRLLL you calmed me down lol. I just got my hair straightened by the Dominicans, and my hair had so much heat damage after i washed it. So much stringy and straight pieces randomly all over. I cried so hard. Ive been natural for 2 years now, and now I feel like it was all for nothing. SIGH!
Breanna Gardner yes ma'am and definitely a lesson learned. They use TOOO much heat although the results are ALWAYS amazing.
Damn.. I feel your pain.
Shonna B Le Struggle!
+Breanna Gardner SAME !!!!! OMG THESE DOMINICANS IN QUEENS, NY GIRL THEY AINT NO JOKE . Lesson learned . lol they use so much heat but the results look beautiful . but girl they damage my hair too the point where my hair wouldn't even curl when i washed it . i had pin straight hair smh.
Omg the same thing happened to me with the Dominicans
Use Creme of Nature's Strengthening Milk Masque to revert back heat damage. I've had heat damage for a couple of months and nothing worked, but when I used this it completely gave me my curls back!
ShowScience You gotta cut damage off no produc will makebyour curls bounce back
ShowScience I'm gonna try this today, hopefully it works 😊
KayV BTS It does work. At least for me it did, after the first use. I wasn't expecting it to do anything that early but it went right back to my curls when I finger coiled, versus before when it would just stay straight. I didn't have to cut anything. I came back to find the original comment so I could say thank you@showscience. 😉
tiptip7 what's your hair type? 😊
KayV BTS mine is a 4c
I had a similar experience after having a Dominican Blow Out. I discovered that they use silicones in their products. This will significantly change your curl pattern and make your hair very dry. After some research, I washed my hair with a sulfate shampoo (Mane 'n Tail) to strip away the silicone. Drenched my hair ( making sure every strand was saturated) in mayonnaise covered with a plastic cap and a thermal cap and left it on overnight (total of 12 hours). Rinse out the mayo the next morning and saw that my curl pattern returned back to its normal state and not as much heat damage as I thought before. Next, I towel dried, sprayed my hair with black tea (makes hair soft and lessens shedding) then I saturated my hair in my deep conditioner (It's a 10) covered with a plastic cap and thermal cap. Left it on for 8 hours. Rinsed. Combed out with Grapeseed oil and warm pure organic coconut oil. Twisted hair in medium size twists, pinned twists and covered hair with a silk wrap scarf. It works. No Big Chop!!
I’ll let you know if it works.
I going through it now😢
Been natural almost two years, flat ironed my hair once every few months and didn't get any heat Damage. Flat ironed my hair ONE time with a titanium flat iron, hair was straightened to the gawds lol. 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Washed my hair a month later and had two to four inches heat damage ALL over my head. I mean my ends were bone straight with no chance of a curl😭😭😭. My hair was past collar bone length, now it's barely shoulder length. I didn't waste anytime, cut the ends off and back to my protective styles. 😢
You know we all have setbacks in our journeys. So even though it sucks it will be okay!
Lovely Lasean THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.
Lovely Lasean the same thing happened to me
try low heat flat iron and do a blow out look instead of bone straight hair
I brought a titanium flat iron at Walmart from conair. My hair was soooooo straight ! But heat damage of 3 1/2 inches
I have heat damage on my ends, not as severe but still! I'm so upset! I'm not flat ironing my hair for another 3 years
***** oh well I actually should have seen it coming because I went to a salon but was not sure if they used heat protectant or not. I should have told her!
***** I never even knew they had natural hair heat protectants!
I wish I had your will power 😩
+Shaya Kells Ikr
Shaya Kells it's actually not as hard for me not to flat iron my hair because I was used to having it in braids all the time because my mom would never let me wear it out, now that I do my own hair, I wear it out all the time, so I'm really not as tempted to flat iron because I'm used to something else. It is harder for others though.
you tell me to put the scissors down after I cut 😭😞
+Crystal No worries lovely! Now you can start fresh!
lol
Crystal same 😭
Crystal I got a haircut and tried removing hair dye and now my curls are gone again lmao I can't...If I don't find something to repair them I will shave my head..I can't.
Guana.Guani.mahubi Me too I'm in the middle of transitioning so I cut my hair thinking it would help and... Noo lol
Staying away from using heat has been really hard for me. In 2 days it will be 2 months since the last time I straightened my hair. I am honestly proud of myself.
Lilsis909 It's hard for all of us and it is definitely an accomplishment! Keep it up and I'm sure you'll see some amazing results!
I tried my first protein treatment and it was a success! I can see a difference for sure my curls are popping more.
snickers30000 YAAAAAASSSS !! Which one did you use?
Curls Unbothered LOL! I used the aphogee 2 step protein treatment. I was worried at first since I heard it could go wrong but i'm really happy with the results! My hair is getting better though my wash and go's aren't as tragic now :) how often would you recommend doing the protein treatments
I wanted to come back and let you know that I bought the protein treatment and followed the instructions, and you are 1000% right. It's WAY better than the egg treatment. My hair is stronger and I BARELY see any hair falling out. The difference is CRAZY! Again thanks for the tips!!
YAASSS! I appreciate you coming back and letting me know how things have been going for you! That protein treatment is THE TRUTH!
Praise APhogee! 2 year later and my hair is back to full health capacity!
Please what is the protein treatment you are recommending? Thank you.
Sha Zac aphogee protein treatment😃
Rice water helped my damage tremendously.
How long did it take to get your curls back
I cant stand heat damage never again am i straightening my hair again. It's been 4 months so far I pray to God to restore my hair again.
same
Thank you so much. I'm only 11 and 4 inches of my hair is heat damaged. Thanks for the video now I don't have to get my hair cut from my shoulders to my chin.
+Bethany Milner aww you're welcome love! I was NOT doing my hair at 11 so you're already ahead of the game.
15 now
I just subscribed and im 1:35 in i needed that patience talk, i'm on the verge of cutting it off! Lord knows i knew there must have been another way *exhales*
Hey Evonna, for some reason I cant reply directly to you comment ! I have a wash day video in the works now which should be up soon! And I don't use a hooded dryer since I've discovered the Thermal Hair Care Conditioning cap! IT'S LIFE!! www.etsy.com/shop/ThermalHairCare
Where did u purchase the protein treatment
Thanks. Tryna grow out my heat damage in the very front of my hair from prom 😢😢
Lisa Grandeur its in the description. It's a link to Amazon 😊
Curls Unbothered so happy I'm bout to cry, thank you
I didnt actually realize how easy it was to get heat damage. Like the other day I straightened my hair and it honestly looked so good and it felt amazing and it flowed so nicely and then I washed it and my hair didnt completely bounce back like it used to. I was so sad lmao but I'm glad I found this.
that sweatshirt is tough
+Alex Miller thank you!
i didn't even follow tip 1. i cut my ponytail off. i have no 👎 patience
And there is nothing wrong with that!
Out of ALL the natural hair you tubers I follow u are THEE funniest to me lol.. Your personality is my vibe..
+Lashaunda Payton Villarreal 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 thank you!!
+Curls Unbothered 💜 your so welcome Queen..
I remember freaking out so much when i discovered that I had heat damage. I first thought that to solve the problem was to blow dry it straight so people couldn't see it... I realized that the more heat I used the more damaging my hair got. I learned to just be patient and basically that's all you can do. If your keeping it clean and using protein treatments etc. Your hair will recover!!. I'm still working on my hair and taking care... but it takes time. You gave great advice and gave many hope !!
Aww thank you so much! And you’re right. Heat damage isn’t forever
The wheat protein really helped. My ends started looking a little better. My curls don't look terrible but now it's a wave and not as much of w curl anymore
I'm soooo happy to hear that!! Keep it up
Hi - I took my hair out of locs n go a dominican blowout a month after. My hair DOES NOT HAVE ANY CURLS what so ever. So now I'm in search of something to give me my curls back. I'm going to try the hydrolyzed wheat protein. I've been using Kenra moisture conditioner bc it has the wheat protein in it for the past two weeks plus used the smelly apogee protein step 2. Hair is still straight. I know it will take some time so I've been doing heartless curly styles. I'm so grateful for my TH-cam sistas sharing their experience n knowledge.
I have used coconut milk n avocado in my hair n no luck.
I actually went to the shop nd the lady gave me heat damage
Same thing here 😠
+Kadayshia Bailey Same!!
same freaking here
Me too. Im pissed too
SAME !
Can you list all products? I don't have time for all this talking!
I have very dry damaged 4c Afro hair, I tried to dye out my hot GREY roots! Hated grey / white hair roots!
I used my saviour, Fudge Time Machine hair treatments, especially Top Lock, Damaged repair conditioner & the Volumiser conditioner, along with Coconut oil, hot oil treatment and OGX keratin conditioner! No or little heat and henna wax! OGX hair oil and the brilliant FUDGE HED hair oil!
Also a good tips to soak hair in RICE water spray, that helps! UK 28.8.24 🇬🇧
I'm in tears I had my natural hair silk pressed for the first time and when I washed it I'm like where is my curls I worked 2 years for nothing
New subbie. I realized I damaged my hair over the weekend and was doing research and all I kept seeing was big chop. I wanted to cry and grab the scissors after over 1.5 years of growing my natural hair. Thank you for this video. I look forward to future videos and visiting your old ones.
Carina Rankine NOOO dont do it!! It's time to go into ultra TLC for your hair. Hopefully your damage is less severe than mine and you will be fine in no time!!
Funny enough, my curls are back now after a few washes and deep conditioning. I realized the damage wasn't as bad as I thought, the horrible burnt smell went away, and my hair looks healthy again! Thank god I didn't go with another BC because I was on the brink of crying. Thanks again!
i haven't straightened my hair in months and when I decided to do it a few days ago I made sure I used a ton of heat protectant and deep conditioned it beforehand. but now I washed it and it's still straight. 😩 I'm so sad and upset. what the heckkkkk. does anybody else's hair take a while to revert??
Autumn Rose yea sometimes it takes a few deep conditions for the curls to start popping again and yes aphogee protein treatment is also gonna help.
HairByPierre okay thank you so much
Autumn Rose same thing happened to me I want to cry because my hair is just finally getting long after I cut it I hope these tips work.
jada williams unfortunately it looks like my hair is damaged because it's falling out like crazy. 😰
Autumn Rose me🙄 but it didn't stay straight it just took a while...,
Oh my gosh thank you mama! You saved me from a huge....HUGE chop!
You're welcome Reigna! Your journey is just beginning! Take pictures for the days when you feel like you have made any progress!
They be cute...y'all cute 😂
Lisa Karis Exactly. 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hi thanks for the tips they really did work!! YALL SHE IS NOT LYING AT ALL I TRIED IT AND MY CURLS ARE BACK NO MORE STRAIGHT HAIR!!
I really want to know how I can get that sweatshirt next! That is my alma mater
How long did it take for you to get your curls back?
Latrice Lee yaaaassss! its at www.coliseumapparel.com
Congrats!! 😎🙌🏾
what products do you use to moisturize your hair ? like for your twists and the way you have your hair in this video. what products did you use to style your hair ? I would like to see a video where you explain the products you use on a daily basis, how you use them, and what protective styles you use.
From the beginning of this video I loved your attitude and your approach thanks.
+cathy dominique Cathy! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!
I’m crying my eyes out because I sent my 16yr old to get a silk press. Before her hair was nice and curly, but now when it’s wet it looks like it’s been blow dried. I’m soooo heated I can scream!!! I need help ASAP!
Did it get better? I heard that aphogee 2 step is good for heat damage
I'm soooo here for D'Angelo playing in the background
I looove me so good music!
That therapy session at the beginning was actually a great idea! Thanks!
thanks i actually just gave my staightner too my friend and was like you can keep it because if its at my house i will USE IT!!! but thanks tho! my hair is way healthier now
+Selena Quintal yaaaaassss! Seeee you have more will power than me, mine was still in the house so I could look at it when I missed it lol
I bleached my hair one too many times and then added color on top😩 That was last month, I'm just planning on protective styling it for the next 4 months. 1 month down, hopefully by fall they'll start to come back
it's been 7 months since silk press that cause heat damage and no crinkly coming after deep conditioning and protein treatment
My hair was down to my back (past bra strap) naturally curly... Well... I flat ironed my hair ONCE with a heat thermal and all that good stuff. Well.... It was time to shampoo my hair and my hair (Entire Head) is heat damaged!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what to do :( I can't believe that my healthy long hair is now damaged because I flat ironed it once. I'm so sad. Can you offer tips? I did the aphogee 2 step, deep conditions, I just clipped my ends and it still looks horrible
Hey Georgine, so it seems like you're taking all the right steps to help your hair recover! You'll see the difference in time honestly, go back to your regular regimen and continue the protein treatments. It took me 2 years to get my hair to look like it does now, unfortunately with this type of damage there is not instant solution. In the meantime, you can use perm rods or flexirods that mimic your curl pattern and achieve similar looks as you did before. That's the only way I made it through, no one really knew how damaged my hair was because I did styles that looked a lot like my natural curl pattern. Sorry this is long as ever lol
Have you considered beer rinsing? I heard thats a go-to solution for heat damaged natural hair.
Lisa A I believe those are for damage that is minor, my damage was too severe for a quick fix like that. It's been two years and I'm still working on it smh
Ahhh okay i see i see
Lisa A We met at DMVNaturalista's salon right?
Youuuu came through girlllllluhhh!!! Thank you so muchhh!!! Omg.Thumbs up, New subbie, AND comment
Thank you so much lovely!
how long did it take for you to recover?
Just now seeing this after chopping off my daughter’s heat damaged hair. She wanted it straightened and I used heat protectants that didn’t work. I didn’t know about silicones🤦🏾♀️. They did work but I didn’t use a strong enough shampoo to remove them.
The only problem with eating tools is the only way I can really get my hair done is flat iron because breeds are usually always too tight. And I don’t know how to tell my mom that I’m pretty sure my hair is damaged. Like my hair is curly but my ends are straight and have been for a while.
How can I fix the not using heat part
🙌🏽 love this vid! I have about 6 cm to go. I am a year and 7 months in now and so excited to do my final cut in about 4 months from now. You just hyped me up 🙏🏽
when you put into perspective how much patience I need I was like yessssss!! bad kids at work lol.yesssss!!!!!!
Thank you for your heat damaged hair tips I did get some of mine cut in to a cute bob like style. Short around the back and sides. This was 2week ago already growing back. I have plenty of natural growth showed up from the cut. Still lot of heat damaged left around the top sides, very top and back. So I'm going to the hair store to buy some products because I was on my way to get cut some more. Don't really want to cut any more. Thank goodness for people like you.👌
I was about to big chop for 2017 but couldn't go throught with it. Thanks for this!
You're welcome! Good luck in your journey!
I stumbled upon this change cause I got me up on some heat damage on one side of my head. I already know tip #1 is gonna be my struggle. I need to get up on some of that protein treatment. I agree that Aphogee protein treatment smell like bad eggs and feet! Very helpful tips. Thanks.
CharliGirl868 you're welcome! Document from the moment you start, sometimes it's hard to see progress when you are dealing with your hair often but pictures really do help to highlight how far you've come.
I don't use flat irons, I absolutely refuse to. However, I went back to the lady who did my big chop for a trim and rod set - that's all I wanted! She had her assistant, who didn't speak good English, blow my hair out bone straight. The lady was literally blowing out my hair like we were in the Dominican salon because my stylist claims she couldn't trim my hair wet. A week later, I wet my hair and begin picking out my afro when I notice a small patch of straight pieces dangling. I'm highly upset behind this, and will never allow anyone to style my hair again. I'm so lucky that the heat damage isn't as bad as it could have been. To add insult to injury, she overcharged the hell out of me, and I didn't leave the salon until 8 at night even though my appointment was for 1030. Never again!
And that is why I don't let other people style my hair. I don't trim or cut my own hair but ABSOLUTELY not!
Kamylah Bennett damn
Saw this recommended and clicked to watch just in case. Then SUGAR DADDY happened and was all I could hear lol, had to press replay.
Thanks for the tips, crossing fingers I won't need to put them to use. #D'AngeloSupport! #NaturalBlackPeople!
(Hopefully you're still answering questions!)
But I just got my hair straightened for the first time in like...4 years to get my hair trimmed. Now that I've washed it out: I don't have any broken strands or straightened hair or anything, but I feel like my hair doesn't coil and bounce like it used to. I'm gonna try the protein from Green Beauty Channel, but that's not my issue.
I want to know if indirect heat is going to be a danger to my hair at this point. I just bought Curlformers (I'm late as hell, I know!) and I want to at least start the drying process under a hooded dryer, but I can stay away from that if it's gonna make things worse.
This answer is honestly open to anyone. Any and all help appreciated!
I personally use indirect heat every wash day when I deep condition. That type of heat is a lot more gentle on the hair because you aren't actually manipulating the hair plus using heat. For perm rod, flexi rod, or Curlformer styles I still use heat protectant if I'm going to sit under a hooded dryer.
Curls Unbothered
Thanks so much for answering!!
You’ve gained a new subbie
Thank you so much! I REALLY appreciate the support esp because I am so inconsistent lol
@@curlsunbothered You gotta get back on it lol. Seriously I was searching Devacut and yours popped up. I've been looking at your page ever since. I love your hair long and short.
Ima have to try this no heat for four months see how that goes first thanks ... for m aken this video
Nooo lovely thank you for watching. If you have IG tag me in your update !! @curls_unbothered (:
I will thanks and have a bless day
i flat iron my hair everyday and now my hairs obviously very damaged I also relax every few months I cant stop straightning my hair I feel because I feel the girls at my school would make fun since they are all white
OKAY NATURAL TH-cam YALL GOTTA HELP ME OUT ASAPPPP! My close friend is mixed and her hair is EXTREMELY heat damaged, because her mother is white so she never learnt how to care for her hair. Because of this she straightened her hair for most of her life (she is 16 now),she also dyed it a couple times and now ever since her mom decided she needed to go natural she has no idea what to do or how to care for her hair, she doesn’t own a SINGLE product for curly hair 😭. But me being the awesome friend i am and knowing how to care for kinky patterned hair because (I have 4a/b) hair i am trying to help her find her natural curl pattern (because my girl doesn’t even remember how her curls look) but like i keep my hair in protective styles so i cant recommend products and definers and conditioners as much as i would need to help her. SO NATURAL TH-cam SEND HELP GUYS SENDDDDD HELPPPPPP!!!!! P.s her heat damaged hair is really similar to the one in the thumbnail which is what brought me here
I love you for the beginning LMAO... I needed that. THANK YOU
NOW I find this video, 1 1/2 years too late - I chopped all my damn hair off and I miss it every day.
Aww it's okay! Best thing about hair is that is grows back!
I've had natural hair for a while and I've actually been taking care of it for about 5 years and I got it straightened one time. It was to my tailbone and it was really beautiful but since I've washed it it's been so dry and damaged. It's infuriating but I guess I learned my lesson.
You helped me sooo much honey!!!
Your my hair savior 🙏🙌🙏
*BROWN GIRL BLUSH* That is SO flattering thank you so much!!
Thank you thank you thank you for this video! I promise the moment you said "put the scissors down", I had already looked at some cute styles for the big chop. Patience is going to be my main struggle. I will definitely try to stick to these tips. 👑
GLAD i saw your video i went to the salon on Thursday and I'm worrying already i think the stylist use too much heat on my hair now friday coming is my wash day agin and I'm really nervous I was planning if its damage I'm going to cut my armpit length hair and start from scratch i really don't want to so I'm glad i stumbled on your video its frustrating because i use heat like every 5 months i have gone a year with out using heat its so unfair. but thank you for your video.
I've been doing sew ins for a year and I have grown some inches since then because I'm not obligated to do daily manipulations to my hair. However, I do have to do protein treatments due to my heat trained hair. Thank you for this informative, but fun video.
I just big chopped after 2 YEARS and I tried my hardest to apply heat on only special occasions , and I believe that I did. When I was big chopping I noticed that some strands would be curly at the top , then less then one inch of the strand would be straight and then the rest would be curly, AND THEN the relaxed ends . Is that heat damage?
I recently had just gotten my hair straightened and when I washed it oml I had so much damage I cried to hard I cut it and when I washed it again this week I still see dead ends I’m not gonna cut my hair this time I’m gonna give it some time to grow
The front of my hair is curly but then in the back part of my hair , it’s wavy/straight idk what I do😩( natural hair is 3c)
Sometimes the best thing to do is not worry and leave your hair alone for a while.
So I will be purchasing this green beauty protein because I have heat damage in the front of my hair and I can't wear my natural hair because it look stupid !
When I was younger my mom wanted to try this thing in my hair because she didn't know what to do with it because she's not black and therefore doesn't has hair like mine.. and I begged her not to do it and she was determined to do it and when she did SHE TRIED TO FREAKING PERM MY HAIR not knowing what she was doing , and she did it completely wrong and chunk after chunk after chunk of hair would fall out , she raced me to that hair dresser and I lost so much hair and now it's so damaged and I lost about 5 INCHES that day because she had to cut my hair because it was horrible and it hasn't grown since
I'm not flat ironing my hair after this. I hated this experience 😒. I love my curls and I cried when I was washing my hair and it wouldn't curl up.
I keep all my heating tools under my sink tangled up. That way if I reach for it, I cuss myself out & get mad. Then I just end up two-strand twisting my hair lol 😂
you should have kept the receipts, most stores do return if you use it only once or twice.
After I watched your video, I purchased some Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, not the brand you mentioned though. I must say it has made my hair feel stronger the first time I used it. I'm gonna try it on my daughters hair, she has some heat damage.
+Barbara Saunders Yes!! And it's really easy to use AND not stinky!
I have the Aphogee sticky stinky stuff too.
New Subbie! First off i love your since of humor!! I laughed a few times from watching this video my fav was "Thug tears" 😂😂 keep it up!
Tiff Doeshair THANK YOU! Just being a 100% me...I didn't even think I was funny in real life at all lol
Tiff T00Pretty u
Great video I'm newly natural still in TWA phase but I am so scared to use heat now after seeing all these things on TH-cam. I think I'm gonna stay away from heat at all costs maybe for my one year natural I might.
THANK YOU! You know my issue was that I used heat excessively, I forgot all about moderation (silly me). But if you use heat once or twice a year, on a setting that is appropriate for your hair texture you should be fine. I definitely understand the hesitation though because dealing with damage is ROUGH lol
Curls Unbothered I bet its rough girl its good to know u can get thru it. Your hair is beautiful n I love ur TH-cam name
So I'm totally creeping on your videos and I have this exact same sweatshirt in my latest video! lol
I really don't know what my curl pattern is. I always say my hair shrinks but doesn't have a pattern and I also was in love with having straight natural hair but now I want to take the adventure of trying to rock or learn how to rock my hair in its natural state and I don't know where to start
If you have damage then you can do styles like two strand twist outs and braid outs in order to create a uniform curl. I decided early in my journey to use perm rods because my signature style was two strand twists. It's about find a style that you like and going with it. And as you build up your confidence trying new styles and techniques.
Thank you ill try that ! The link for the protein treatment didn't work for me
May you please help me! I had extremely perfect curls, I let this one lady dye my hair in 9th grade she bleached it, and it was bleached for about 3 weeks, I wanted another color so she dyed it purple, after that it turned red on it’s on then it turned orange,pink,blonde,white and red, and my hair started to shed, it started to feel very rough, my curls weren’t the same, and my hair was very short after that, then my mom took me to a salon and I got my sides and my back cut low, and now I’m trying to grow my hair back but mind u this was 3 years ago, I’m now a senior in high school my curl pattern still isn’t the same it’s very very kinky now and it’s not growing back.
lol today marks 5 months since I've used heat .
Congrats! I just made one month! looking to go all of summer.
+Khristina Arreola lol congrats to you to ! & thanks i hope so too .
YAAASSSS CONGRATS!! How is it going and what differences have you noticed?
+Curls Unbothered Lol thanks ! & its going well . I've noticed that my hair is more bouncy , the curls look super tight & my ends aren't as bad & when i brushed my hair out it was a little bit above my breast bone . when i first started it was at the neck region though .❤
Patience is what I didn't have after my first BC, so I did a second one lol. Did the second one and still got some heat damage, so now I cut half my hair off. Lol...love and hate situation lol...but you are correct. Patience is important. Your new subbie btw. :)
ervina19 see I just couldn't imagine BC'ing at that time. Waiting was my only other option lol. I'm at the point now though where I prefer my curly hair over my straight hair. After a day or two I'm over it lol
I have been two years post. and I blow dried my hair on the cool setting. and then I gelled my hair to a bun. when I washed it I realized my hair was looser than it was before. and now parts of my strand don't curl like it used to I was soooo mad BC appearantly my fine, thick hair can't take the cool setting on the blowdryer 😩😩😩😩
wet ur hair with hot water then apply a thick moisturizing conditioner then an oil on top.( i applied oil, conditioner then oil again to my sons hair a few days ago because i blow dried it then flat ironed it to make sure i cut off all the bad hair) wrap it up to make ur hair and scalp hot add leave it in over night. Rinse out with hot water then apply ur leave in conditioner and moisturize like u usually do.. Curls poppin again.. if not keep doing it over and over again every week plus moisturizing every few days
So this is my question....All I need to do is keep my hair conditioned, low maintenance styles, protein treatment and the occasional trim and my hair will revert? Without having to cut it all off at once? Because my hair is damaged. +curls unbothered
Yes 5 years ago I had got a perm and my hair was super damaged and falling out and once I became a sophomore in hs I start learning how to take of my hair. So when I start doing wash and go my hair was scraggly and dead and I start learning how to do twist outs, Bantu knots and doing treatments my hair start growing and my curls start popping again until last year I went to the Egyptians and they damage my hair really bad so now I'm recovering ☹️
Hello I love your video concerning heat damage and wanted to ask what was the wheat protein you used. It was a quick shot of it and I did not get the name of. My heat damage is mostly in the lower back of my scalp. I did not realize it was heat damaged until I saw your video. I had not flat ironed my hair in years. And I wont anytime soon. Thank you again.
Patricia Reddick if you go to www.greenbeautyproducts.com you will find the wheat protein there! And thank you so much!
You are soooo funny!..but very informative!!!!...YOURHAIRISSOOOOBEAUTIFUL!!!...thank you for making me smile:)...ps this is my sons log on animal jam (8yrs old)...(me name is Shelley)...take care Sunshine!
wwortAJ LOL! I really appreciate you for watching and your kind words Shelley!
And congratulations to you. You go ms. Howard.🎆
I'm glad I found your channel. I was going through the same thing. I have some ends that are stringy from heat damage. I've been clipping my ends and deep conditioning. iwas about to cut my hair which I really didn't want to do. But now I'm not going to do it since watching your video. I'm going to take some of those tips that you listed and work it from there. Thank you so much and by the way my daughter attends Howard. So yes big ups to H.U.
Yes! Keep me updated !! Aww a baby Bison!! I looovvvee my school. I hope she does too!!
First off I wanna say I love your hair! I've been transitioning for a year now and my hair is still in a akward stage. Some hair curls when I wet it or stays mushy but after it dries it's all puffy with stray curls here and there. I had lots of heat damage my hair has improved over the months just not as much as I thought it would. I wanna get a protein treatment to see if that would help but my hair isn't breaking off and I've never had any chemicals in my hair before its actually pretty healthy I don't wanna risk messing it up.
Thank you!! I have the same issues, there are at least two large sections of my hair that look like reverted straight hair versus curly hair (it sucks). My hair never broke up either, but the protein (for me) helped restore my curl pattern. If you have doubts then I wouldn't do it. I do a TON of research before I try anything and make sure I can deal with the consequences no matter the outcome.
Curls Unbothered Thanks for the advice!
my curls are healthy except for the curls on my crown they're just straight and puffy always dry. I don't know what to do? it looks horrible when I leave it natural.
+Esmeralda Mejia I have a similar issue and a tip I've heard is doing consistent steam treatments. I haven't tried it myself but I plan to see how it works.
+Curls Unbothered Thank you so much for the tip, I'll do some research & start next month. Thank you 😀😁
Thanks for suggesting The Real Protein treatment. I am going to give it a try. I use the Aphogee 2 step one as well but I can't take the smell or stickiness of it anymore. I love your videos keep it up!
Jourdan Quintana RIGHT! That was my go-to protein treatment as well but it's just tooooo messy. I like this treatment much better! Thank you so much love!
Very helpful particularly patience! I was about to BIG CHOP and start over.
Thank you! You'll really learn a lot about your hair in this journey
Girl have you seen awkward! Because you look EXACTLY like Jenna's best friend the red head girl. Like your her black twin
+BigMeech Ghandi I haven't! I'm going to have to check it out!
+Curls Unbothered please do I wanna hear your opinion!
:)
+BigMeech Ghandi You know she does resemble her a bit.
she really does a bit
+BigMeech Ghandi **you're
I really needed this video. I have heat damaged ends on certain parts of my hair and it's sooo frustrating. I was just considering doing a mini chop but I'll try this first for a year and see how it works
How's it going?
I can’t use protein treatments now because I have Protein Overload & Heat damage & I’m unsure of
What to do
Fist time viewer. Love your personality, had to subscribe! 💚
+Rhaven Cheadle I appreciate you!
It is as if you where talking to me at the beginning😂😂 Good video By the way
+Chrystelle Ndedi Thank you lovely!
I'm 16 and I have heat damage and I have had breakage from it over the years and I just don't know what to do and school is coming up. I didn't use heat for the whole summer and it still seems to be getting shorter I don't know what is happening. please help if you can!!
its actually better to do big chop unless you want to have multi textures. but at the moment I can't do big chop beacause I'm in school I got know time for everyone to ask me why I cut my hair or am I a girl or boy which is sad.
Well contrary to popular belief everyone has multiple textures. I don't have heat damage anymore but different sections of my hair have curl types. Some are tight, some loose. But what you do with your hair is your business. You don't have to answer to anyone :).
I have heat damage and the stylist I go to now isn't scissor happy thank God she said don't big chop but the straight in some areas when I wash are breaking,did you have that problem
Hey Girl, I'm a Instagram follower and had to subscribe to your channel!!! Great videos!!!
sweetfm2008 yaaaaaaaassss thank you boo! Let me know if there is anything you'd like to see!
I hope this helps me. I asked my mum to straighten my hair ONCE. We use heat protection spray and everything, but this large section on the left side is not curling back at all and it is stressing me out.
thanks for all these SUPER helpful tips
+Ruth Etrenne you're welcome love!
Im a new subscriber and first off your beautiful..i love your video and i saw that treatment on another video but you made me more interested thank you!
Lexxx Williams Lex thank you so much! If you try it I hope it works out well for you!!
You welcome love and thank you :) i hope it works out too
How many months did it take before you saw your heat damage disappear and curls return?
I started documenting my progress so i would take pictures every month. Because of that I was seeing a difference within the first 6 months. But it wasn't until the 2 year mark when I really saw how much progress I made.
You didnt cut your hair at all?
