I’ve been natural for years. Gone at least two years without straightening at a point. Spent lots of money on one product after the next. Did wash ngos and twistouts and protective styles. I routinely had my ends trim, yet I have damage up my hair shaft and frequent knots. I am too busy to continue spending so much time on my hair. Everybody’s hair doesn’t respond well to certain ingredients in natural hair products. Some hair is better maintained by loosening the curl pattern by roller setting, blow drying etc. Heat damage is often what used to be called heat training. I for one will continue to get silk presses several times per year. I will make sure to protect my hair as best as possible. I use the Rev Air and a Tymo straightener as opposed to a flat iron. I’ve come to terms with the fact that my hair doesn’t have to be bone straight to look good. When I want a more sleek look I will flat iron in sections. My hair was never more healthy than when I used to do Roller sets, so I will go back to those. At the end of the day it is hair, you can cut it and it will grow back.

I appreciate you showing us your process. And I think you have a good attitude about things. Which is important. Frustration when doing hair is the worst.

I think it's ok to regret losing some curl definition while enjoying your looser texture. That's what I'm doing. I have some straight pieces throughout my hair that I wish were curly again but I'm also enjoying how easy it is to straighten my hair now.

It’s so cute! I love you can still wear it both ways!

I had a silk press about a year and a half ago and loved the fact that my hair was longer than I thought (pass my bra). However, it took me a month to get past the smell of burnt hair. I reverted my hair back within three days. Now, I thank God for the Revair because I am not about bone straight, just manageability. My hair continues to flourish, but the right products make a difference, or you can experience damage without heat.

I love it, especially when it’s dried! 😍😍 I’ve been thinking about going this route

I have a little heat damage in the front of my hair from wearing it as a leave out. Hopefully with some deep conditioning i can get some of the texture back. The struggle is real girl, but Im not gonna stress too much about it.

I found your channel through my google feed! I straighten my hair @home once a year. And that's usually during the winter. I have no heat damage. Your hair is similar to my hair texture. I'm bra length. Your hair is beautiful! New Subscriber 💜

thanks for the update.

Your hair is still very beautiful! As others mentioned I def had some of my best hair days (especially wash n gos) on damaged hair. Personally I don’t think your hair is damaged especially because you said your hair felt like it still had a film on it after washing. More than likely that’s leftover silicones that are weighing your hair down. I would def recommend clarifying your hair and then doing a bond treatment like Olaplex and see if you still feel the same.

Have you ever thought about styling your hair straight but without the flat iron? I go to a Dominican salon (I have curly hair mostly 3A,B) and my stylist does my rolos (rollers) I dry them for 1hr and 10mins, and then she blow dries, since with lower heat than it would if the hair was wet or no rolos. This decreases the amount of heat damage (of course I still get some) but I do this 1-2x a month, and my curls still look very good. I started my curly hair journey two years ago but I’m lazy for all this hair care stuff so I can’t help but straighten it sometimes. I still want best of both worlds though 😂

But it soooo cute and probably way more manageable. I might try to heat damage mine to make life easier 🤔 I am in love with the waves sis!

I am low key ready for this tbh. Ready to start my heat damage journey in four days. School and working fulltime got me way too caught up, so time for the easy way out🤣 Granted, I'm gonna be a blowout natural cuz I like volume, but if I get that lil damaged look, I won't be mad either.

Shoot I’m about to get a relaxer. Maybe I should try “heat” training my hair

I’m wondering just how heat damaged is it because my hair was heat damaged like this too, until I used a clarifying shampoo.

I'm considering this because it seems like you can keep the volume, loosen out the madness to ease time and manipulation and do it yourself if you can't trust a salon (unlike trying to relax your hair yourself and not overlap layers). What do you think now that it's been a year?

The damage is giving❤️

Hair still bomb😍

If you do want your curls back, try some Aphoghee or Curlsmith protein or Olaplex 3. You might be able to bring the curls back.

Y’all I be doing these braid outs twist outs Mimi braids you name it. I always go back to flat ironing and I’m always end up being over it. Straighten your hair and you’ll be happy too 😂

Your hair is gorgeous! Have you heard of K18? I'm looking into it because my hair is heat trained as well, which is how I like it, and I also want it to be as healthy as possible. I think it's supposed to help restore the broken bonds in the hair.

I miss having relaxed hair because I enjoy having straight styles; however, my hair is so much fuller being natural. When I do straighten it, it looks so much healthier. I wear it curly most of the time. I think because I've found a curly look, I enjoy it doesn't bother me. I did have some damaged ends, which surprised me because I use heat so rarely. That taught me I still need to keep a close watch on my curly styling. Damage csn happen no matter what if you're not properly taking care of your hair.

This is how my hair use to look with a relaxer..I love it!

You are still beautiful! You should probably make sure the stylist is using a heat protector on your hair before they start your styling process to protect your curls. I love how transparent you are on your channel ❤️

i think they usually call it “heat trained” which is where you use enough heat to get your curl pattern looser and easier to manage without completely damaging it either. there’s a few videos on it too.

Girl dont even worrry. I got heat damage very 1st time when I used the nano titanium by babyliss. Back part of my hair got damage but I noticed when its wet your hair will look straight but when you go in to style your hair with gel and scrunch it like you were doing, it'll curl. I did a video showing how my heat damage hair still curls and perhaps "heat dmage" isnt damaging curls completely to the point it is bone stright both wet and dry kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKF8sLKRlbPMido.html . I am not worried that i have damage, hair is damaged when you color, comb, go outside, flat iron, style etc. I flat iron every month or 2 months. I am a semi-straight hair natural. Love my hair both curly and straight!

honestly me, I have a tymo blow dryer brush (lows want to buy the tymo straightening brush) and i hit it with the flat iron on very low heat and im good to go. Im starting school tomorrow and the thought of having to detangle my hair every day is just not practical at all.

I’m not gonna lie, one of my goals on my heat trained journey is to have the texture of my hair when it was tex laxed! You’re hair is beautiful!!

Honestly, it's only a problem if you want to wear a fro, otherwise it's not really a big deal. the bonds are broken just like a relaxer, so it's weaker hair but just like you can still have long, moisturized i.e healthy chemically treated hair ( relaxed or colored) you can with heat damage. If you want to wear it curly one day there are always braid & twist outs or you can wash and go and do twists in the front where it's straight.
