    Omg so many people don’t understand this struggle, it’s so much work and stressful some days. Especially when you workout consistently

    My hero 😩🙌🏾. I want to start wearing my hair straight more often after 11 years being natural, but this is a major obstacle for me. I run two and a half miles every morning and then I lift so I’m sweating a lot but I absolutely love these results so I’m not so scared anymore. Thank you so much!!!

    I am going to try that the next time I straighten my hair. I usually take a break from the gym for 2 weeks when my hair is straight. That's as long as I can go without working out. After a workout my hair is so wet it looks like I washed it. 😨

      Crystal Simmons give it a try, love! For me, my roots only get wet with this method and letting it dry in the Bantu knots helps to keep them from completely reverting! 💕

    Well done! I would also suggest moving the sweat band back more onto your hair to catch the sweat that puffed your edges up.

  • @randialade8751
    @randialade8751 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I sweat in my scalp I put my hair in a ponytail. The key is to let your hair dry in either the ponytail or Bantu Knots. Also after my workout I replace the sweaty band with a new headband that’s tight don’t take it off till my head is dry.

    I do this exact style with my hair when straightening it. I prefer the shave look so the puffy roots don’t matter. Only thing is I workout in the morning so my roots don’t have overnight to completely dry, but I don’t mind. My hair is about the same length as yours. Love this style.

    • @TakiraThompson
      @TakiraThompson  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Nita Randall yes ma’am! That’s a great point! I workout after I get off of work so I just shower and go to bed after. And the roots just give a bit more volume so I don’t mind it either 💗💕

    I think its so funny that we have the same scarf and I use that rubber band trick also when I can't get it to tie in a knot. But it came out so pretty. Going to have to try this next time I get a flat iron cause mine is always ruined after working out.

      @@TakiraThompson im in my 40s and been natural since the 90s. I sweat in my scalp also. The idea is to create a vacuum. The hair is lightly oiled and wrapped tightly. Then put on a stocking skull cap.then a snapback is put on. The heat generated from ur body is sealed within the cap and hat. When u cool completely off, take the hat and cap off and ur hair will be straight. The seal has to remain tight in order to work.
      Maybe try it on the last day before u wash ur hair
