Thank you guys for the amazing advice! From what I’ve been seeing the most common thing is to use a higher heat setting, so I guess I will need a new flat iron. Any suggestions?
I have a Chi and love it. Not sure what kind bc I've had it for years. Sorry. Bought it from JCPenney. Zebra pattern.
Just use the Tymo. It’s way easier and will go way faster. Also you don’t flat iron your hair often enough so that’s why it will be puffier when you do it yourself. You’d need an extra hand to maintain the pressure on the iron at the ends but since you’re holding the brush it won’t be consistent to the ends
EAP HEAT OR REMINGTON
If you want something budget friendly, the Conair Ceramic Tourmaline Infiniti Pro is one of my favorite flat irons and has never done me wrong in all the years I've used it. If you're willing to pay for something more professional grade, I'd suggest you look at either the FHI Heat Platform or the Sedu Revolution.
I noticed that you used the Color Wow spray, it truly is amazing. I just did my first ever silk press and it helped my hair fight frizz and make my hair silky & straight, BUT you have to use the one with the black cap that says “extra strength” on the bottle. Thats one meant for straightening curly hair!!! I think using the wrong one played a role in the results.
Hi my names Michelle and I’m 11 years old. I’ve been watching your channel for about 2 years , and you inspired me to start a hair journey and be a better Christian . I am extremely excited for Christmas as your products will be at the top of my list ! Stay beautiful!🤍🤎
Just don’t use heat protectant, that doesn’t protect your hair! Just do good deep conditioning!
Please don’t listen to the comment above. Heat protectant works
Hey Brittany 👋🏾 I normally don’t comment but I’m going to tell you exactly why it’s puffy because I did the same thing when I started doing my own silk presses. Your hair has to be damp when you blow dry it. Because you waited 2 hours before actually blow drying it, it took in all the moisture you let sit on it. Don’t let it sit. Wash, condition, rinse, towel dry, heat protector, silk treatment (bio silk), blow dry w/ attachment slowly (I normally do it warm on high), then flat iron ( I don’t do anything above 425, I’ve gotten a good press on 400) and you should see better results. Hope this helps!
Your hair is alot similar to mines. My hair wouldn't straighten completely out either and I thought it was a lost cause so I just gave up on it until I went to get my hair done professionally. My stylist gave me some really good tips that helped me out alot at home. You should start by doing smaller sections at a time, use some type of heat protectant, make sure that you blow dry your hair completely straight until you see no more puffiness. It should look like you already have a silk press with just the blow dryer and I know you don't want to go up on your flat iron, but for the look you are aiming to achieve, you just might need to. If you have to do multiple passes that means the heat is not up enough. I know you are scared of damaging your hair lol I was too, but believe it or not you are doing more damage by keep going over it with the flat iron. You also need a really good flat iron too. I know these things really worked for me. 🙂
What is going on with this heat protectant that doesn’t work people, just keep doing very good deep conditioning! Heat protectant way down your hair!
My stylist uses 450 on my 3c/4a hair…I use to freak out about it because I thought that was overkill but she does 3-4 shampoos and two deep conditioning treatments as well as steam to prep my hair and she uses spray leave ins as well as humidity blockers and my hair reverts. Because you take great care of your hair I think that might work for you. Healthy hair can withstand the heat as long as there are no oils or heavy products on the hair.
You also should wrap your hair tighter and with a silk scarf tied tight and flat. Bonnets are not going to preserve a silk press, they will keep your hair from snagging on the pillows but you need a scarf underneath the bonnet to secure your wrap. I loved the way it came out when you put the curls in!
Silk press temperature needs to be over 400 degrees
Look up what tools to use as well
You need to do a deep condition under the dryer after your wash
For extra body use saran wrap for the finish
So wrap it up then apply saran wrap
You can go back under the dryer if you like then let it fall down
It will be full of body
I totally forgot about the saran wrap. That’s a great idea!
What advice do you give to someone who wants to go back natural but there mom doesn't let them
@@user-mauryah Cut all your hair off to show you're serious maybe?
@@user-mauryahwhat is your mom reason ? My mom reason was bc it was a lot to handle and I guess it wasnt a lot of products to maintain curly/coily hair but as soon I graduated i research a lot of great natural hair products and did a big chop and it’s been 4 years now
@@faithwalkwithlena9754 thanks so much
The problem is that your hair is NOT clean of butter residue which is causing your hair not receive the smoothing leave in products you put on it. Biosilk reacts with butter residues so you gotta get that hair super clean before new product application 😊
After hearing how much work you put in with not only doing the wash days but actually making videos and THEN editing as, I would just like to say thank you for your time and service! Brittany💛
Heyy girl! I think you actually did really well on your hair even though it didn’t turn out the way that you wanted, and I can understand the frustration. It sucks when you put effort into something and it doesn’t go as planned. You honestly did do pretty much every step correctly, or at least from what I can tell because I am not a professional. But I do have a lot of experience silk pressing my own hair, which is why I hope this tip might help:
Like everyone else is saying, 410 degrees just probably isn’t enough unless you do even smaller sections which is very time consuming.
But mainly, I feel like if you did some research on how to properly wrap your hair after straightening would help. Personally, I have never been able to wear my hair right after straightening it because it just swells up. I always have to wrap my hair for at least a few hours or over night for it to look silky.
I would suggest not using a bonnet, but a silk scarf (or even a durag) because a bonnet has too much empty space and air that just encourages the hair to swell, and does not allow your hair to be fully slicked around the head which is key when wrapping straight hair at night. For me the first night of wrapping my hair is the most crucial because if I am able to get a nice flat wrap with my ends completely laid to my head, then it makes sure that is how my hair sets. This usually gets rid of puffiness for me. I think the perfect time for you to do this would have been here after this step-> 51:20
I also think that the curls you did looked so pretty and sleeping in pin curls or flexi rods is a great way to preserve them.
Anyways, I apologize for how long this comment is lol, but I really do hope that it helps. Years ago when I stopped relaxing my hair and cut off all the damage, it took so much trial and error to get my hair to look nice in a silk press again, but I finally have it down with my natural hair. I just want to see you succeed girl! Can’t wait to see the rest of vlogmas❣️
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this comment. I definitely am taking notes as this is some really good advice!!!
Everything you said is true for me also. I also like to watch deeper than hair TV because she does the prettiest silk presses I've ever seen on all different kinds of hair. One thing I learned from her was to wrap in a plastic cap right after you're finished and sit under a cool dryer. I did that this last time and my hair stayed silky even through a rainy day.
@@lesliewit Yes! I love her channel I even bought her flat iron. Many of the silk pressing tips I know are from her and the glam twinz channel.
girl i went to a professional and my hair came out just like yours. grant it, that was my first attempt with a silk press since my entire 2 year natural journey. My stylist did state she didn’t want to damage my hair so she said she wasn’t going to keep doing passes. After reading the comments she prob just needs a better flat iron or should have did a higher temp on me. best of luck tho and thank you for posting this video, now i have more clarity!
Too much product and not enough heat. Heat protectant doesn't need to be reapplied. Try to get the blow dry extremely straight as it makes a huge difference. If your hair is reverting, it isnt 100% dry. I usually do a paddle brush dryer then round brush to get my hair straight and dry AND THEN I flat iron.
It was completely dry when I was straightening it but it just wasn’t getting super straight if that makes sense. The color wow made sure that it wasn’t reverting. But I definitely agree with the heat.
@britttanyrose I understand that it may feel dry but the puffy results are likely due to humidity still left in the strands. I used to have this exact problem and it only stopped after I started double blow drying on damp hair. (I let it airdry for a while first.) The blow dry should be pretty much straight, and the flat ironing should silk it out. Hope this helps!
To get that SILKY silk press, I go in with my round brush blow drier not only before flat ironing but after aswell. Catches the roots real good and gives it a lot of flow 🤭
I hope it’s not super humid in atl still. It was super hard to maintain a silk press in Louisiana, thank God i moved to Nebraska lmao 😂
I have thick type 4 hair as well and getting a good silk press can be hard. Based on your process the only critiques I could make are less products and more heat. The more products you put in your hair the more of a barrier you're putting between the heat and the hair strands. I only use tresseme heat protectant before blow dry and nothing else after that. For heat I use 450 all day. My hair does not get heat damaged because I don't silk it out too often.
Don’t be discouraged…A for effort, your hair wants to revert to curly because that’s how it is 99% of the time
Your hair is so beautiful omg, i think it looked really pretty.
The inches are ✨INCHING✨
❤️
@@britttanyroseMy hair is very similar to yours. I can never get a straight silk press and have body. It’s one or the other. Super straight with high heat or medium heat multiple passes and my hair will not curl at ALL. I understand your frustration. I’ve settled for the puffy straight look. lol
silk press it one of those things u hit or miss, but you're skin is glowing we definitely want to see more of that ❤
The 2 LIFE CHANGING tips I ever learned were to use a setting spray before you blow dry and make sure your hair is completely dry before pressing! Trust me, I have now PERFECTED my silk press. You should have body and movement immediately after you dry it. If not, start again lol 😂❤
What's a setting spray? And what kind do you use? Completely dry, I do agree!
@@kristiejefferies6919 It’s a mist that provides shine and luster to the hair. I use the Mielle Setting Spray. It’s pricey, but a little goes a long way!
@@jasminecarter8998 OK I will try that! Thank you!
Your hair is beautiful first off. As a natural that heat styles often and have maintained my curls, you actually do need a different flat iron. That particular one has too much variance between the heat settings which is why you mostly see stylists using it for curls after straightening with a different flat iron. If your strands are coarse (thick) then you might need to use about 430 to get your hair straight which you cant do with that flat iron. You can try the ultra thin one with wide plates since your hair is long. Next, your ends were frizzy because you need to cut more. Naturals do tend to avoid trims and cutting bits and pieces here and there usually don't get all the ends off which results in frizzy ends that you can't see while your hair is curly but they tell on you when it's straight. A few other tips is to apply your product to wet hair right out of the shower. Dont let your hair dry in the towel before going in with the blow dryer because the more dry it is the less smooth it will get. Another issue is that you applied the Chi heat protectant first. It has alcohol in it. That's not bad but it wouldn't be my first product. Start by applying a good spray leave in like the pureology one then go in with the color wow. Apply the chi before flat ironing. I hope it works out for you. Your hair is healthy and its ok to practice every few months until you perfect your technique. Best wishes.
Hey Brittany! Love your channel! Your deep conditioner probably has a humectant in it. Humectants will pull moisture out the air (moist or dry) into your hair, which causes the puffiness. Next time, try a deep conditioner with "hydrolyzed silk" or something similiar. And I would also recommend a ceramic flat iron, not titanium. I hope this helps and I look forward to the future videos 🥰
I believe Titanium is better for 4c hair
@@styleswithkay3985 unfortunately it didn't work for me
I have hair texture like urs that puff up when u do a silk press u have to use a clarifying shampoo, a smoothing or straightening conditioner and maybe a heavier product and hotter temp also when u do the chase method with the brush u need to have that brush close to that flat iron it will actually polish ur hair with one pass. Then wrap ur hair with a silk scarf tie it down tight. Just for the first night. Another method if ur worried about too much heat, let ur hair dry for a few days then blow dry while it’s dry. Since my hair is getting longer I put mine in a low ponytail then band it like the Africans. 2 days later I blow dry then flat iron. Instantly silky.
What smoothing or straightening conditioner do you recommend?
58mins?!? You have blessed my TH-cam today!! 💖💎
Hi Brittany, try using a couple of hair clamps while you sleep to keep the hair wrap in place, in addition to using the head scarf.
Or just try putting satin hair rollers in it🤷🏽♀️ that’s what I do and it really helps preserve my silk press and gives me nice curls in the morning.
Your not using enough heat and do smaller pieces so you only do one pass. Your putting to much product on your hair before blow drying it’s to greasy. Only use heat protection and that’s it.
I don’t think it was product because my hair definitely wasn’t greasy. It felt super soft and had a lot of body. I agree on the heat though.
I think you need to use a better shampoo and conditioner. Try Suave shampoos or dawn dishwashing liquid to get the butter residue off your strands completely. Also Dove Intensive Repair Shampoo will get rid of it (It=butter residue). Dove Intensive Repair Conditioner gets your hair really silky soft and conditioned after shampoos stripping butters off, which you will see in the blowdry. DOn't use biosilk WITHOUT using a dish soap or Suave extreme stripping shampoo like Tresemme. Your other shampoo clearly leaves a film on your hair because of your using butters, which is the problem. The silicones in biosilk react with the butter residue on your strands. Which is why your left with that brassy greasy blowout look. Your blowdry let's you know how silky the silk press will be. I live in ATL Chmablee area and my water is pretty good, I don't know about your water quality but you can look it up.
@@britttanyroseToo much hair product and your hair requires more heat. Your is thick, so use smaller sections to flat iron
Her sections were super small though?
@@ammiiel if you don’t have 4c you will never understand but ok. I have 4c mid back hair I know how to take care of my hair as well and do my own silk press.
"Pressed but missing the silk". Story of my silk presses
😂
Im a actually surprised that it didnt comw out better because that flatiron is the best one to use. Mabye it was the heat but I cant say for sure. Your hair is so thick and long, definition of hair goals
The comb attachment to the flat iron is awesome saves a lot of time. Also gives a lot of body
To make less work for yourself and retain more moisture in your hair, use your Dyson without the comb, just the concentrator nozzle and the tension method. I use a round or paddle brush to help me hold tension. That will do the job of the round brush dryer, but with less heat.
heyyyyyyyy first off love your energy your videos get me through my work day in the mornings!!!! I'm a stylist and I use most of the products you used myself on my clients and myself. the only thing I do different is I put my bio silk on wet hair before I even start blow drying but I don't think that makes a huge difference. I truly believe it only didn't turn out the way you wanted it to because of the heat temp I do all my presses on 450 and never had a client have heat damage or breakage but 465 is a bit high. but you did an amazing job and I hope that your next go around you are able to get it the way you want!!!!
Loll girl you were really feeling it when you put the extra bio silk😂😂. It’s okay it’s trial and error. I’ve had my bad silk press days it’s okay ❤.
My silk press always came out like this but I did my research and found out that my issue was not using a clarifying shampoo, not using leave in or silk product while wet and not making sure my hair is 100 percent dry. That is what I was doing wrong. I fixed all that and now they come out perfect. I sit under the dryer first then blow dry. It's not the flat iron temperature. Please don't use above 400 to flat iron I use 350 to 375.
What clarifying shampoo do you use? And do you rollerset to sit under dryer or just comb hair down and sit under dryer?
@@mslilmama40I use Paul Mitchell Shampoo Too. It's really good. Use a liquid leave in and a silk product on wet hair, then section it off and twist into bantu knots and sit under the dryer. That's what I do. I use carol's daughter leave in conditioner black vanilla, tessume heat protection spray and chi silk infusion all on wet hair. Key thing is don't put to much product and make sure it's 100 percent dry.
@@LAngelQ Omg thank you so much!! 😄💕 I am gonna try your way and come back here and let you know how it turned out 💕🙏👍
@@mslilmama40okay let me know. 😊 Your welcome.
The curls were beautiful. Definitely needed more heat if you're going for that bone-straight look. At least 415°. And only do 1 or 2 passes.
First of all sis thanks for all you do. Secondly I personally I think it’s your flat iron that’s the problem no the products. Ok be blessed Brittany!!!❤️🙏🏽🥰
When I flat iron my hair, I have my heat on 410. For my heat protection, I use 100% pure argan oil. And when my hair does what yours is doing, I mix extra virgin coconut oil and the argan oil. Also with the small sections use a small tooth comb for the chase method instead of a hairbrush. That works for me when I do those things.
When wrapping ur hair, use a satin/silk scarf. Ur hair needs no wiggle room. It needs to be set flat all night.
When my hair comes out puffy I wrap it and never use a bonnet. Also I kept it straight for a month one time, by using a stocking cap after wrapping my hair and then putting the scarf on. I have other tips, if ur interested lmk.
I think it looked beautiful regardless and you worked really hard on it.
I just ordered your hair products can’t wait to get them, however I would like to know if you can do skin care video featuring the products you use in a daily basis? Thank you.
Hello beautiful, first I hope God continues to bless you and keep you protected. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication on youtube and your business. I'm loving your products and can't wait to see results from using them constantly. I'm sorry that your results weren't what you where looking for but I truly believe you will get there. Just a few tips that may work next time. First: 410 degrees should be good enough. The only thing that I noticed where you might have gone wrong is too much biosilk. Instead of using a dime size for each section, maybe use that amount for your entire head. Biosilk is very concentrated and will make your hair greasy and heavy. But stay positive and don't give up.❤❤❤
Girl don’t go and damage your hair with too much heat just to get silk press your hair is fine i loose all my beautiful natural hair last year by trying to do that but i learned the hard way and u definitely don’t want that
Awesome video thanks for your transparency. Because you use butters your hair shaft is coated with the product even after washing it. Try cleansing your scalp and hair shaft first. Olaplex is a great option. Never put a heat protectant on your hair after washing it your leave-in conditioner is your heat protectant. Next, you only need to use either the wow or the chi not both products. A good temperature to flat iron is 425-450. You should always cut your ends up to the breakage especially if your only cutting once a year. The biosillk or any other serum should go on last after you flat iron. Lastly after wrapping your hair putting a shower cap wil seal the bonds of your hair and give it that glow and silk that you want.
I just want to say that I finally bought your hydrating butter. It came on time which was awesome. The only thing I can say it didn't smell like I expected it to smell.... Don't get me wrong I am not saying that it stinks,but it doesn't smell like I though it would. Other then that it's awesome and you're right I dont have to put a lot on my hair which is awesome. I love it can't wait to try the oil.
I have found that when your hair is not heat trained, that it is necessary to use a silk press system when straightening your hair. Design Essentials has one. That is what has worked for me.
I used to wear my hair straight all the time. Now that I don't. I find that it takes more effort to get that sleek look. I pin curl or rollerset rather than wrapping my hair.
Your hair is gorgeous 🤍
Loved the video I feel like you should have went in with the revair and then used the Dyson to make sure roots were dry. Then pressed the next day so hair could completely cool or run the cool from the blow dryer on hair once finished blow drying.
So whats considered waist length, cause this look like its bras strip
This is getting so tiring. I have plenty of videos where you can see me show my hair is waistlength.
Well i'm sorry it's so tiring for you I don't know you, This is my first time watching your video, And according to the title it says waist length, you're not the only person that has said that their hair is waist length, So that's a genuine question, Cause I don't quite understand what people mean when they say waist length. And I don't see their hair down to the waistline, Especially in this video. Where the title says waist length.
You don’t know me and yet you’re trying to tell me about my own hair. If it’s your first time watching me, why don’t you take the time to look at my other videos before commenting. Make it make sense.
Yeah at this point, I'm not interested in watching any of your other videos, I asked you a genuine question and you got weird and offended. Honestly it's not that deep, Really it just hair. You have a ton of positive comments. Why waste so much time replying to me? If you felt like I was trying to be shady. That comment was made 2 weeks ago and you're still in your feelings about it. I'm convinced this is a deeper issue within yourself not my comments, And before you say, "black women" are shading you, Remember it's just hair any black woman can grow long hair, If they choose to, I've had long hair all my life, And no it wasn't wait length it was about the length of yours, Which I decided to cut because it no fun, But anyway, May god bless you sweetheart.
I don't see waist length either 🤷🏿♀️@@janeshamurry1583
I know with my hair, can’t try to curl it with the silk press. I have the heat on 400 and bend the ends before wrapping. Silk press lasts 2 weeks.
Well,I pray for you and your business, and I can wait for you to finally make a full line 🎉😂
lol yeah I put curls if I mess up and it doesn’t go all the way like a silk press but. I know we go for less heat. When my hair is wet I will flat ponytail it to back super flat and braid the rest down. Let it dry by air. This will allow the root area of your natural hair to be more straight once you use the blow dryer after it air drys. After I blow dry section of 8 and patience. Run through with pressing comb first. Then flat iron on the same sections with higher heat. Plastic wrap it and sit under the dryer. lol a lot but it’ll be beautiful.
You need higher heat but I wouldn’t risk it. I like having a little bit of volume since I have thin hair
Your hair is BEAUTIFUL BTW!❤🎉😊
You such spray a holding spray to lock in your curl
Chi has a great Hold spray. It doesn’t weigh The hair down
Gives a lot of movement. Redken frizz dismiss is excellent product for flat ironing the hair
Pin curling is better then wrapping your hair
Sis you just need a professional. It’s hard to do good silk presses at home. Mine don’t be too bad, but when i go to a professional it’s 🔥🔥! I know you had a bad experience, but there are great natural hair stylists out there. Find a good one you can trust & kinda copy their technique.
I don't know how yall saying she needs more heat. I have 4c (4a in the front middle). I use my flat irons on 375, no more than 400, and it comes out relaxer straight. I use design essentials agave lavender silk press collection before hand. The stuff you use to prepare your hair matters as much as the flat irons and the temperature.
Meehnn after all that hard work 😅 sorry boo I feel you. So what I think also happened was using the unbrush brush after the curling, I think it opened the hair too much ❤❤❤
Interesting
@@britttanyroseI know everyone has an opinion but you are me sis. The 2 things I just did in 2023 that kept my hair straight was to buy a (babyliss) titanium flat iron.. the black one at Sally's different from the blue one (I bought 2 of the blue ones and they did not work 😕). To my surprise i straightened my hair on 395 😮 and it worked, blew my mind. And, the color wow also made difference. Lastly, I recommend a silk scarf because it'll flatten your hair. I honestly wonder if you took a shower with your bonnet...that steam will do damage quick, which is why you need the scarf with your shower cap. Hope this helps.
I needed to hear the consistency because my channel been dry foe a year. Im trying to get back at it.
Can you go to a stylists for a silk press and record it? I also think you might need to use a good clarifying and chelating shampoo to remove all products and hard water. Then deep conditioner
Hey Brittany, my silk presses from home are usually puffy but when I wrap it overnight with a scarf it goes straight
my hair does the same the flat iron wasnt flat hot enough i'd also do the roller set method before flat ironing
I used to have the same issue. But I think you may need to wrap it with a scarf not a bonnet. I know you want to keep the body in it but try wrapping with a scarf before you go up in heat.
Is her hair waist length? I thought waste length was to your waist. It seems more bra strap length, but Im not sure
Mine does the same. I have to wash with a clarifying shampoo and dont apply anything in it other than my heat protectant.
I think it looked fine after you curled it , I think you should pin curl it next time. I think the wrap messed it up
The same thing happened to mine, I haven’t had a silk press in 3 yrs . And tried to do it myself , and it came out puffy . I worked so hard on it to. I was so hurt 😫. Hopefully when you find out the secret you can come back and tell me
LMFAOOO NOT U TELLIN YOUR CHAIR TO SHUT UP 💀💀💀😭 2:52
Barbie pins and head scarf to keep the wrap in place
Please can you do a tutorial on how we can make your whipped hair butter at home? because your products arent available in my town
On her website
No… I’m reaching out or commenting because I had a Blessed experience!!! Thanks so much! God Bless You with Everything!!! 👩🏼🦰
My hair does the exact same thing. The only time it got super straight was when I got it professionally done. Idk what it is smh
You’re funny Brittany Rose😂
If you put oil in your deep conditioner like you usually do, that could've been why it didn't work
Lol I have the same issue, the silk press is never silk enough when I do it at home so I’ve stopped trying
410 is as high as I go as well. Ain’t nothing wrong with a little volume and texture-I want my hair on my head 😅. Also, I saw/heard that Healthy hair burns at 451 so I wonder why that tool goes up to 465 🤔. Anywho, you got beautiful results with that blowout so I did expect sleeker results but it still came out nice just not “silked”.
Alright so I’ve seen the final results and-looks really good to me. That sleeker look will only come with higher heat. Flexirods and a bonnet gives bomb heatless curls over night. I’m straightening my hair on tomorrow or Friday and I hope my hair comes out like yours did. Team 410 and no higher 😆🥳
450?? The highest I’ve ever gone is 430 and my hair never burned off and it did get my hair bone straight too.
Its a professional tool really even though its sold commercially.
Try using the chi intra line
You have beautiful hair!
Wayfair is my Jammmmm!
Your hair is really gorgeous but no disrespect the title is a little miss leading because your hair does not seem to be waist length. Maybe I’m confused on what is considered waist length hair is. When i do silk press at home it comes out puffy unless i go to a professional. I know you are scared because the last time they cut your hair off.
I use to go get my hair straightened, but it wasn’t always by the same person. It use to turn out fine, but one time I went and a lady literally fried my hair! I should have known when I was smelling that burnt smell.. Ever since I’ve been scared to let someone flat iron my hair. I’m going to try to learn on my own then maybe find someone I can trust to do my hair.
It’s not misleading. I wouldn’t say my hair was a certain length if it wasn’t. As you acknowledged in your comment, my hair was puffy.
@@britttanyrose exactly why I said maybe idk what’s considered waist length just doesn’t look like it on camera. But girl you know your hair better than anyone else, what I think or anyone else doesn’t matter 🤷🏽♀️
I’m tired of people trying to tell me about my own head like I don’t deal with it every single day. I’m tired of y’all policing black hair but when a non-black girl says anything about her hair it’s accepted without question especially for her hair has less shrinkage. I’m not proving my hair length anymore. I said what I said. Can we please stop doing this to each other?
@@britttanyrose girl I have black hair, no one is policing your hair. Type 4 hair at that and have extreme shrinkage. All I said was it don’t look like waist length in this video. You are still going back and forth with me. I literally said you know your hair better than anyone else and what I think don’t matter. Why post on the internet if you don’t want to deal with ppl comments. If it’s that serious delete my comment and move on. You are coming back to a video 2 weeks later.
Thanks for still sharing
I have coarse hair like you. The “minimal products” advice is not for our hair. My hair never came out silky that way. The only thing that made my hair silky straight & smooth was GREASE!!! Use some type of petroleum jelly to press your hair & I guarantee you’ll see a difference.
It looks about mid back length at most sis
Your hair is still beautiful. I bet when you use the flexi rods, it's going to look really full, curly, and bouncy. But, I know how disappointing it is when you don't get that silky straight look you are looking for. Maybe next time try putting in your leave-in, heat protectant, and biosilk while your hair is wet. Also, try to make sure you are using enough tension when flat ironing. I hope this helps.
Thank You SO Much!!! I got my oil and 2 butter free m the sale!!! 🙌🏽🫶🏽💪🏽♥️

And in a Very Timely manner!!! 🎉
You need shampoos and conditioners with no oils!! And only use one heat protection and not too much x
I would love to see you in the celebrity hairstyles Ke Ke's chair from Deeper than Hair. Her TH-cam channel is called Deeper Than Hair TV
Yep the heat's the problem
Your blow dry wasnt straight enough. You needed more tension. Then wow is heat activated so if you are using a cooler heat on the dryer it may not be enough. I also agree wit what everyone else is saying you need a better quality and hotter straightener.
You missed the most important part of a silk press, the pressing of your hair.
Here are the steps to a silk press: 1. Wash, 2. Conditioner, 3. Blow dry, 4. Press your hair (it has to a hard press), 5. Flat iron and style.
S/N If you don't have a pressing comb you can purchase one at a beauty supply store, Target, online, or anywhere they sell them. There are two kinds to get electric or the regular one you put on the stove or in a portable plug in stove for pressing combs.
Maybe look at a couple Deeper Than Hair videos. She gives good tips
My hair does the exact same thing. My parts couldn't get any smaller and My flat iorn could be on west hell and it will still puff up. Me personally i accepted that my hair doesn't want to be bone straight. Straighting my hair just makes the flexi rod sets better. I will admit that my hair could have been dry (only washed and treated monthly /now wash twice a week /sweat dries out my hair) and my blow out technique is better since the last time straighten it. I have seen some girls use grease to Straighten their hair. That might weigh it down just enough without it looking greasy (if you use alil bit) im afraid to do it on myself, honestly. Cant wait to see how your flexi rods come out.
2 out of 3 of the products you put on your hair prior to pressing it are very HEAVILY-based silicone products, on top of you not using enough heat for your hair, the little heat you did use could not penetrate through those heavy silicone products. The best way to get a true silky press is to use nothing but heat protectant. I do a deep conditioning treatment BEFORE I clarify my hair twice thoroughly. If your hair isn’t deep conditioned prior to your wash, the silk press is basically pointless. Going forward don’t use biosilk until after your hair is silk pressed if you want to add shine to it that is the only purpose biosilk serves. Never use that during the press trust me that’s where you went wrong.
Yaaassss
It’s ok.. before you go to bed put a little bit of argan oil on you hands and split your hair down the middle. Put each half in a low bantu knot bun with a soft scrunchie to hold each one in place, then tie your hair with a silk scarf. In the morning you’ll have some gorgeous stretched out waves I promise!! 😘😉👌🏾👌🏾
You didn’t use enough heat. It looks more like a blowout
Your hair is nice 👍🏽
Have you tried pm quick slip? Or chi k-trix 5? And try putting a little more bio silk before flat iron don’t blow dry it in
idk how or why anyone ever just does one pas thru their hair no matter how thin - i guess i just can't stand siting still lol because i do multiple passes. i know Brad Mondo says it doesn't minimize damage any lol but i feel like it does.
Beautiful 😍 ❤❤❤
The curls were perfect it’s a fluffy press pin curls are your friends
I think your issue may be that you're not actually doing the entire process of a silk press. 1. You need higher heat as suggested by everyone else. 2. You need to actually wrap your hair tighter and neater. wrap it in plastic wrap and sit under cold hooded dryer to seal your cuticle. Even though it's winter and your apt is cold you're in a room blow drying and flat ironing so the atmosphere around you is hot enough to swell your hair which is why it's puffy. 3. When you wrap your hair for the night it should be alot neater and b4 the bonnet you need something like a stocking that is going to keep your hair in place and compressed. You're leaving way too much room under the bonnet for your hair to become messy. Your hair is beautiful and I hope those tips work better for you next time❤
