Remember the maximum hydrarion method you did last time you were worried about heat damage? It sure was a lot of work and it probably won't reverse all the damage but I think it would definitely give your hair a hydration boost. Like a fresh start. :)
Wow yes thanks for reminding me! ❤️
It’s alright girl. You are pregnant, give yourself grace. Your hair still looks beautiful!!😍💕 Please don’t worry about the heat damage!
Heat trained hair isn’t bad either! I’ve seen people with shiny and FULL heat trained hair. Dont let anyone pressure you into cutting it off - hair is hair
it's probably less heat damage, and more from the fact that your lightened your hair color. While bleaching hair isn't quite the same as a relaxer, it DOES affect the texture. and I believe you did the process twice so I suspect that's where the damage came from. If you'd lifted the color even lighter with a stronger developer, you would see an even bigger difference. When you were holding up the little strand at 6:55 you can see that the lighter sections were the damaged parts and the section that didn't get as much bleach is still curly.
Congratulations Amber on everything that is going on in your fabulous life!!!🤗❤️ You might have what is known as "heat memory". My aunt is a professional hairstylist, and she told me one time when I thought that my hair was heat damaged, that sometimes your hair might "need a minute" to revert, due to the way that was straightened or how often it is straightened. Eventually my hair fully reverted back to it's curly state. 😁
It happened to me last month and i am pregnant ! I did straighten my hair but Did not retouch at all during that time ! Then when i shampooed it didn’t curl back. I did some box braids to not deal with it but i think it is really heat memory. Thank you for giving me Hope
@@LAURENAL You're welcome 🤗. Happy New Year!❤️
@@kayjay3948 thank you , Happy New Year to you too
It’s a part of the journey lol 😂 I just take joy in my hair at least still being natural
Amber before you cut your hair, if there is a kerastase salon in Belgium you can get the Curl Manifesto treatment. It consists of a concentrate and a booster, this will definitely help restore and revive your curls! Unless they sell the Home Lab Kit and you can do it yourself.
Oh thanks for the tip! I’m going to look that up right now
@@AmberAnsah You are very welcome!
@@AmberAnsah - there's no saving heat damaged hair. You just have to cut it off unfortunately. Anyone who says you can is just in denial. It's just the science of hair.
Advice From a personal care chemist.
@@apara2005 No one is in denial, and if you were familiar with the Kerastase line you could understand that their products are scientifically based to help each strand of hair and all types of hair. She can rejuvenate it before she decides to get a trim. Maybe next time you get heat damage you should try kerastase.
1000% why I am scared to have any type of silk press. No matter the product, heat damage is inevitable..
I feel the same way
My hair was almost to my butt, and I had to cut it cause I kept retouching it with a flat iron. I had a lot of heat damage so I decided to cut about 5 inches off and now my curls look almost back to normal. I’m so happy cause I thought I was gonna have to do the big chop all over again. Now I know even if I’m just doing a retouch heat protectant and low heat is a most !!! You can never straighten your hair without it even on a low setting.
I swear by aphogee amino treatment. It really transformed my limp hair and made me see curls I had no idea I had.🤯 next I'm going to buy a revair since I see they have payments and I can't care for my hair in its full thicc fro state but don't want to add to much heat to style it
I LOVE my revair! I bought mine on eBay and saved $200
is it the two step treatment you are talking about?
@@ruthjohnson4166 No the 2 step treatment that smells like egg and makes your hair dry and cunchy until you wash it out, thats a protien treatment. They have a "Hair Strengthening Treatment" that is 1part amino asid blend and 1 part botanical etract, vitamins and humactants. This stuff is very sticky and slimy like lubricant or alovera with extra silk.
I had heat damage and I had to cut it cuz it was a lot. I get my hair straightened every 2-3 months to get my ends trimmed but I always make sure that my stylist does a protein treatment before she straightens it and it really helps and I haven’t had heat damage again. And I don’t use heat on my hair at all when it’s straight…when it starts to puff up I just wash it and let the curls come back
It's ok Amber...it happens to all of us. If you don't want to cut it all off at once, you can do it at your own pace. But it's no saving heat damage hair...no matter what anyone says, unfortunately. Hair is dead and can't heal itself once damaged.
where did you get this idea that it was permanent? My hair had heat damage and I was able to save it!
Give it a little more time. I kept my hair straight for 2 weeks and after the first wash, I was like um...wait a minute..I know I ain't got heat damage after not straightening my hair for like 4 years 😑. I thought it came back after the 2nd wash, but now that I think about it, it seemed like my the pattern was looser for a little bit. It came back though completely after about a couple of months I'd say.
Dealing with this now. I was recommended Olaplex . They’re tiny & expensive af but imo worth it. I already see a difference
Since you tend to wear your hair curly you should do a two strand twist and slowly snip the ends. I do this all of the time. Afraid to see what it will look like straight but I'm not worried about it....I think the last time my hair was straight was 2017.
My hair also seemed heat damaged after straightening it twice in 3 weeks I did a protein treatment then deep conditioner and my hair bounced back.
clay will clarify and bring your curl back Amber
Hey girl, I think it's better to wait till you get maybe two or three washes cuz I feel like when I put heat in my hair it takes a little bit for my curls to come back so maybe you should just wait. I know I am barely watching this video but if it happens again maybe just wait and do want to deep treatments and finger coil to train your hair pattern
Olaplex bond with amino acids is really good, moisturizing deep conditioning twice a week with oil treatments and aphogee protein treatment and I think your hair will be good to go
Hi amber. Its sad that you have heat damage I can relate to you because as now I have some in the front of my hair that I have been transitioning for almost 1 1/2 year. Don't spent your money in bond repair expensive treatment just cut it off is the most effective solution. I did spend money on those treatment it works a little bit with the combo of finger coiling when you style. But it never be the same. I knew from the beginning that my hair won't revert back but my damage starting from all the way from the top and in the front difficult to hide. Cut it all off it will grow back and you won't have to manage so many texture.
I’ve recently straightened my curly hair after 3 years of not using any heat. I just needed a break from styling it. I used the TYMO straightening comb. I’ve kept my hair straight for about a month. I was about to wash it and now I’m super nervous about heat damage.
Hi girl!
You just need a protein treatment since you don't have a lot of damage! Personally, I use natural ingredients like rice protein and silk protein that you can find on aromazone. But you can use any products with protein that you like such as apogee or shea moisture.
Hope I'll help you and you won't cut your "damaged" hair.
So sorry you got damage. Try the aphogee it does wonders and if not cut it off. Glad your taking it like a champ
Unicorn cut for straighter pieces closer to the front ends if there is no recovery. But olaplex treatments and shea moisture Manuka Honey and Yogurt hydrate protein treatment have been my gotos for heat and color damage
I'm also on the same thing girl, I've also recently straightened my hair waay too often and on such a high heat, so I also have to go cut it, I'm not sad, I'm all about health over length, and also I wear my curly hair most of the time, but now with those straight dangling pieces I can't wear it comfortably without it looking crazy and annoying me, so I'm also going to cut my hair
The last time I had heat damage I did an aphogee treatment followed up by a deep moisturizing treatment. What didn’t recover was cut off. But, I must say, the majority of my curls got back in formation.
I follow another channel called Hair Buddha. I love him. He's also from Belgium. He mostly does reaction hair videos but figured you could chat with him to see about a trim. I'm sure he'd be able to help. Also I'd love to see you two do a collaborative video.
still beautiful!
Try k18 to repair the heat damage Amber.
Hey Amber! Dont know if anyone suggested this to you before but I believe that you should try K18! I have a bleached curly hair and k18 is AMAZING when used correctly. You may wanna give it a trt, cant wait to see your results tbh
I did a mini chop in 2021, and a diy keratin treatment. I was so happy with my curls and grew more confident after years of relaxing. My big mistake was flat ironing my hair every week, because there's just no way I can wear my curls to work, and down. Now I'm sitting with a year's worth of heat damage, ugh! Not cutting again though but will patiently and lovingly breathe new life into it with deep conditioning etc. I am a straight natural (because of work) and use a roller set and blow dry. Which is a happy medium I think! I've laid my flat iron to rest for good!
you force yourself to wear your hair straight because of work?? whew
curly hair can be professional too, never be afraid to shosw your natural curls
All I can say is you are glowing and leave that hair alone. It's not that bad.
Trust yourself and trim the ends you see have damage. You know your hair best😍
Who cares girl it still looks fine! I wouldn't even bother cutting the straight pieces. BTW maybe throw out that blow dryer brush because there are at least 2 other youtubers who have claimed that it seriously damaged their hair (both of them are white with straight hair and it seriously destroyed their hair)
Olaplex 0 and 3 at the start of each wash day is what I use to fix this type of stuff ☺️
K18, Olaplex, The Kure, Curlsmith Curl Bond rehab salve
These are products that are perfect to help with this
I just use Apple cider vinegar after deep conditioning, so this like 2 times per week, your curls will recover by itself
I have some damage too, but if you do a protein treatment that can help the rest of it get back some of the curl and bounce.
try curlsmith bond salve and also an acv rinse. works wonders!
I think it’s because your hair is colored now. If you want to try a round brush hair dryer, try the Amika one! You should also try K18. I heard it works even better than Olaplex.
OKAY the hair cutting realness. I just messed up my hair cut too and I cut it while my hair was straight lol.
How about using a protein treatment. Maybe that might work.
Could it perhaps be the colour and straightening that caused this? Like too much stress on the hair strands.
Use k18, curl Smith bond salve ,hibiscus and clove water. This will destroy the heat damage
i usually do a protein (strong) prepoo before washing a moisturizing smoothing conditioner after- it helps me for my hair bounceback- what if you gave it a couple weeks to see.
Do you think heat damage came because of your hair being color treated? Is it weaker and can’t handle heat same?
Are you going to do maximum hydration?
Trim?
Deep conditioner?
Olaplex 3?
Come to USA … for a cut!
I cut my damage out tiny, unnoticeable snips
Who gone check you girl it is okay! It's just hair, it'll grow back! You got a baby to take care of and one on the way! I'm not sure if you can do the aphogee 2 step treatment while pregnant but I would definitely do that, and then do an Aztec clay mask and then do a good deep conditioning with some olaplex and a good hydrating deep conditioner. The most previous time I colored my hair my hair was noticeably looser but I just figured it was because I'm now high porosity. For me I just needed to nurse my hair and in a few weeks my hair was good as new. I do have a couple straight ends but I'm chillin tbh.
Try a protein treatment
Avocado pear will restore your hair.. try using it.
Do an Olaplex Treatment one week and then do a hard protein treatment the next week.
Noooo!! Anyway, you always fix it. 😊
Get a trim and do a clay herbal mask followed by a deep moisturizing mask. Stay away from heat for a while. The damage didn’t look that bad in the video.
I've had heat damage last year for me who have a 4c hair I just couldn't stand it so i big shaped and started fresh
Rhassoul clay helps by curls snap back. But I don’t use heat so I’m not sure if it reverses heat damage.
I’d say try the aphogee 2 step treatment
When I heard you say that you might cut your hair yourself, my eyes went wide 😳, and I immediately thought about that flashback. Then you put it on the screen 😂😂😂😂😂
I haven’t had heat damage in over 20 years, but I never use heat. :(. I’m too afraid to and don’t trust anyone to do my hair. I’m sure you can rock a super cute modest cut/trim.
I’m so done with using heat! I got heat damage twice! First time I did it and second time a hair stylist did it! I’m done!
I don’t have heat damage right now but I have a silk press and was planning on doing your blow dry method 😬 but maybe I will just do it once or maybe try to braid it and sit under a hooded dryer instead to touch it up
Aphogee and Olaplex
One word: Olaplex.
So I recently had color damage I tried going blonde and my ends were already not in the best shape. But after I washed it I could just tell I still had my curls but they were a lot looser than my natural hair. I immediately wanted to cut it but everyone told me to wait let it grow a bit. I waited 3 weeks and I got tired of the different textures so I cut off it. I did try protein treatments once a week before I cut it.
I bought that same blow dryer when they had it for around $20 on Amazon. Ended up with EXTREME heat damage, even when using heat protectant. I chopped off my hair because some parts were completely straight from the damage. I ended up throwing the blow dryer away. That blow dryer works magic but it gives you horrible heat damage. Don't recommend.
It's okay it's not as bad as you making it
I got a silk press a few days ago and worried about reversion.
Blow drying often ☹️
Then find a haircare stylist that is really good at cutting all the heat damaged ends and shaping your hair.
Protien treatment! Don’t cut! Get a protein treatment. Your hair is color treated and that could be the reason your curls changed. If it is not breaking or split , your hair can be saved.
Stop using heat
You kept it straight too long. It's not heat damage, it's style damage. Give it a month and see what happens.
Happy Friday 😀
Yes i think embrace the heat, and do some bomb braid outs ! DONT CUT IT give time to your hair 😅
Try clay washes.
Hello… Amber, I’ve had heat damage and my hair acted just like yours. But actually, the only thing I did was just to wait, wash and deep condition a few times, and after a month or so, my hair was the same as before. I just think it’s not necessary to cut or trim. Your hair’s fine. Just wait and see
I soak my hair in cold water if I think there is any heat damage. that works for me.
Honestly, I just let it grow
do you use protein and it takes more than one wash session for it to revert back.
Olaplex...!
well, it calls for a journey together now right
Olaplex
Cheers 🥂 ❤🎉
Girl do rice water it fixed my damage it did take 3 tries because the first time I did it not much was fixed. 4 weeks later only the front of my hair was no longer damaged then the the next 4 weeks I did it all of it is now gone.
Sweetie, Amber, darling. You're expecting. Every pregnancy is different and you will have different results.

My healthy natural hair does not look as good as your damaged hair. 😕 You will be OK. Just baby it and trim off your damaged hair.
I would like to see a big chop & growth journey ❤️
🌹🍂🍁🌾🧡
You look like Moana 🤣
So, we all followed your lead and tried your olaplex 6,7 + revlon blowdry brush idea that you said would NOT cause heat damage and now all of us have heat damage too?? great…😅
👀
i'm dealing with overprocessed hair, and i have been doing some home made protein treatments combined with finger coiling the damaged hair to train it. and it's working for me
