Beautiful hair 💕💕. I was thinking about straightening my hair once a week. In your opinion, do you think it can cause more damage? If I do this I will lower the heat to 410 to 420. How many times do you straighten your hair?🥰I'm a straight natural but I've been taking a break from straightening my hair too.

Hello, I have had periods where I straighten my week weekly. So a full wash day every 7 days. I don't think it will be as damaging if the hair is prepped well and maintained well so you can avoid retouching during the week with heat. When I was in high-school I straightened every week, every 7 days wash blow dry and Straighten, and then before school I would run the straightener through my hair every single morning. My hair was broken fried and limp. When I learned better I stopped retouching but continued straightening weekly, and the hair retained it's length cause it stopped breaking off. Keep up with lots of moisture and Strengthening products and ingredients. If where you live is hot and humid, keep that in mind when you start straightening. Even under the best prep and conditions, the summer humidity can make the hair swell and then our bodies are extra sweaty. Recipe for hair reverting. I'm outside alot everyday with my son so my straightened hair in the summer struggles. In the fall and winter I can keep it straight all week no issues. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Keep me posted. Keep deep conditioning too. Thanks for being part of the fam.😊

Thanks for watching. Routine has been the same. Using the same products in the collection. Still double cleansing and keep the conditioner in for longer. The process just takes alot less time. I usually spend more of the cooler months with straightened hair and the summer months a cut back the heat and do more protective styles . I find that the summer time my hair flourishes more co pared to the cooler months. I have been able to grow and retain more hair out a couple times in my adult life and I find as long as I keep things very chill and low tension there won't be too much breakage or fallout. ❤️❤️❤️

@shanikacorb8 күн бұрын
It's been super hot here in Canada. It was hotter start of June and then it cooled down a bit and then it got nasty humid here. I straightened my hair for this time cause I was going to a concert. The goal is to have the hair last a week or maybe 10 days max cause I am outside alot and if the sweat doesn't ruin the hair then all the wind and dust for sure will. I wrap the hair at night into a low loose bun and then I put a satin scarf on and then a satin bonnet on over top of the scarf. Wrapping the hair helps to flatten the strands back out and keep the hair softer and less dry for longer. ❤️❤️

I paid a bit more than $50 for mine from Amazon. Inbetween the plates can get a bit gunky from product buildup, but a small cleaning brush or old toothbrush is great to get in to clean it. It's a nice addition to my heat tools collection. ❤️

Hello thank you for the information.If the hair should not have moisture before straightening., how long should you wait after applying a heat protectant spray before you actually pass through your hair with the iron? Isn't the spray itself adding moisture? I should also add that I was told to put protecting on before blow drying, And then put another protectant on before pressing with the flat iron. Is adding that second round of heat protection where I'm making the mistake because I'm literally adding moisture to the hair again that's not needed at that point? In other words, should you only use the heat protection spray or oil before blow drying and don't add more when you pass through with the iron?
@shanikacorbАй бұрын
Heyyyy. Perfect question. When I first started using heat protectant spray again I would alternate between only applying it before blow drying and then sometimes again when putting the iron on. I didn't like the effect I got when I applied twice. Buttttt. I make sure to apply heat protectant very evenly on all my hair ( top to bottom, inside and out) before I blow dry. And then I'll wait atleast 30 minutes after blow drying before I go in with the iron. Gives my strands a chance to fully absorb the moisturizer and heat protectant without there being too much residual wetness on the outer strands. I think it's the wetness that can really make the sizzle sound and give the burnt smell sometimes. I have tried doing my hair with no added moisture or product in the blow drying phase and my hair gets frizzy, reverts faster, and has a weird static effect. From being tooo light. Double check that the heat protectant spray you use protects up to as close as possible the temperature you set your iron too. I have also noticed that some heat protectant sprays seem like spraying a fine lovely mist vs a super soaker water gun. And some have a higher water content and don't evaporate as quickly as others. Which spray have you been using? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thanks for watching.
@alewisscottАй бұрын
@@shanikacorb Thank you so much! I've been using Dark and Lovely Blow Dry Creme for the blow dry then IC Fantasia Heat Protectant Serum before the flat iron. I would let my hair air dry mostly before applying the blow dry creme and blow drying. Then, I'd apply a little serum to each section and flat iron right after applying. My iron was set at 375 and I'd wipe the plates before using but would still get the burned smell. I even noticed it after a silk press at the salon so I figured our hair just burns although I don't recall smells back when I was a kid and my mom would press my hair with the old school hot comb on the stove. I will try your suggestion to allow more time between blow drying and flat ironing and give the serum time to absorb. (Lately by the time I finished washing, conditioning, and blow drying, the whole day has gone by and I'm ready to press it and finish up and be done, LOL ). Thanks again for the advice I'm looking forward to giving it a try. 😊
@shanikacorbАй бұрын
@@alewisscott I think you are using good products and you got a good routine. For sure give it more time between the steps. It's exhausting the entire day process. I used to always wash at night and then straighten the next day so I'd have that extra 16 houra atleast for my hair to dry and absorb and my arms could rest. When I was younger my mom was using Lusters Pink Lotion. Loved the smell in my hair before heat was applied but then after I smelt like burnt plastic going to school. Lol. Keep me posted. I still really like the Tresemme Keratin smooth heat protectant and the color wow dream coat.

They played dumb so I had to do some research. Spent that money for nothing because I only had it for 3 days before I had to wash it or something. I used baking soda it helped A LOT and Im going to use apple cider vinegar tonight because it's not all the way gone yet. It looked so good but it stank :( Im going to attempt to do it by myself today and tomorrow and I have no experience doing hair. I have everything I need though.

Its easy for heat tools to get gunky build up on it, especially in the groves on the sides of the plates. The next time i ever go to get my hair done by a salon or someone using their own tools, ill be keeping an eye out for sanitizations jars and if the tools are icky. Just in case.

Good first attempt! It may be helpful to section the hair further; very coily or shrinkage-prone hair will be better managed in 4-8 sections. Instead of using a wide toothed comb, use a long-toothed one, like the one sold by revair, OR a detangling paddle brush, like the tangle teezer or Denman D38. Once each section is detangled, two-strand twist and/or clip it up until you're ready to blow dry. This will help keep the hair elongated and make blow drying much easier.

Thank you. Yes very thick. Especially at the end. Lol.
Is it hot there in Canada? How will you maintain the straight style?
It's been super hot here in Canada. It was hotter start of June and then it cooled down a bit and then it got nasty humid here. I straightened my hair for this time cause I was going to a concert. The goal is to have the hair last a week or maybe 10 days max cause I am outside alot and if the sweat doesn't ruin the hair then all the wind and dust for sure will. I wrap the hair at night into a low loose bun and then I put a satin scarf on and then a satin bonnet on over top of the scarf. Wrapping the hair helps to flatten the strands back out and keep the hair softer and less dry for longer. ❤️❤️
You kind of look like the singer🎤 Alejandra Feliz. I was not expecting that thing to straighten your hair so well. I’m thinking about picking one up 🤔
I do kind of look like her. She is really pretty. Thank you. The tymo is really nice. For whn you wanna maybe refresh a straightened style or add a little bump to the ends. It gets very hot. I can't use it without the gloves. Many cities now have wearhouse stores where you can pick up Amazon items. They had a tymo just like mine for less than $40. I paid a bit more than $50 for mine from Amazon. Inbetween the plates can get a bit gunky from product buildup, but a small cleaning brush or old toothbrush is great to get in to clean it. It's a nice addition to my heat tools collection. ❤️

Hello Shanika 👋🏻 How are you and what are you doing now ?
Stunning Results 💯 Yes!🎉❤
Thank you!! 😊
It came out really cute and looks good with your cut!
Thank you soo much. I was inspired by your twists too. ❤️
Looks lovely! I also have mini twists in right now, about 45.
Thank you. I'm already thinking about when I'm going to twist it up again. It's soo comfy. 45 is the perfect amount.
I LOOOOOOOOVE mini twist. That's how I wear my hair 95% of the time.
It's such a comfy style. My scalp is thanking me. No tightness or tension. And it's a style that still looks good as the twists loosen up. I love it too. Thanks for watching. ❤️
This came out really good, it suits your hair cut. I was thinking of braiding my hair next week but this is so much quicker. I've stopped styling on wet hair though because my hair never dries😅 also my hair grows more when I blowdry or keep it straightened
Thank you soo much. Styling wet hair and then going to bed soon after is a disaster for my hair and frizz and scalp. I have to do it early enough and make sure it's a day where i can get outside in thensun to help it dry faster. But cooler months and winter it's all blowdrying for me. My hair grows very well and the length is retained with the stretched styles. No tangles and frizz and fuss.
Cute style! I wish I had the stamina to do these. ❤
Thank you. Best part is low tension on the scalp. I wouldn't be able to do all these styles without a chair. I'd be soo exhausted standing. 😩
Your hair is so thick and healthy! Beautiful! Do you find wash and go’s easier to maintain than a press while running? Thats my dilemma😅
Heyyy. Thank you for watching. I'm still having issues with a wash n go. The easiest style I have tried while running is braids. Butttttt.... are you doing indoor or outdoor running? Cause I get extra sweaty outside and then all the wind dust dirt and pollution sticking to my hair makes my allergies go crazy at night so I wanna wash more often. But covering the hair in a bandana for outdoor running helps alot or a hat. Cause then the biggest issue is just sweat and the hair reverting and getting frizzy. ❤️ how often would you like to do a wash ?
I would recommend scrunching up your hair after gel application and even twirling each curl individually if you have the time
@@zizio.1776 I would like to give that method a try next time I do a wash n go. Some parts of my head need a bit of extra help cause it's soo wavy. ❤️
Does this oil calm a itchy scalp?
It does indeed help a little bit. I have also tried using the rose water witch Hazel on my scalp when it's in braids. Helps freshen up the smell and calm down any itch I have been having. Thanks for watching. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the great video. Do you ever sleep in the conditioner overnight? Also will the head and shoulders shampoo/conditioner effect freshly dyed hair?
Heyyy beautiful. Back in the day (10 years ago) I used to sleep with conditioner in overnight. When I was first recovering from heat damage I did lots of deep conditioning. As long as you are mindful of the amount of protein in the kind you are using. And for the head and shoulders yessssss. That is a great question. I won't use it for the first month atleast when I color my hair. I have noticed that the color fades quicker. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi. Welcome back. Missed your videos
Thank you soo much. 🥰
Your hair is SO thick, wow! I also tend to enjoy my WNGs more if I style the front separately. Why have I never thought of cutting the containers open to get all the product out!? 😯 I love bobby pins. They can fix any hair mishap. :D It looks cute! A nice summer style.
I was sooo shocked on how thick it actually is since the chop. The crown getting thicker. I am sooooo cheap and frugal I cut all my containers open,especially bottles of lotion. Lol. There is always soo much product I can never squeeze out. The front of my hair just has a mind and personality of its own. Lol. I have Bobby pins stashed everywhere, I agree, they can fix any hair issue. 😊❤️😊
We missed you! Your hair is growing back lovely as ever. I bet you'll be close to mid back again by December. ❤
I missed my online community but I am finally back. No more chops for me, so I think I should reach mid back by December. Keeping my goals strong. ❤️🙏😊
❤❤❤ Beautiful! Your hair is flourishing!
Thank you so much 😀 Trying to keep it healthy and strong.
Shanika the Dyson air strait is a boon for some of us. Expensive but pays off in the long run
I still have my eyes on some of the Dyson tools. I wish I could try out the entire collection. 🙏❤️ one day soon.
@shanikacorb where are the hair videos. I miss your videos. Hope all is well
Heyyyy. Thank you for thinking of me. I have been super sick and stressed. As soon as I start feeling better, I will be back with the hair content and updates. ❤️❤️❤️
Hello thank you for the information.If the hair should not have moisture before straightening., how long should you wait after applying a heat protectant spray before you actually pass through your hair with the iron? Isn't the spray itself adding moisture? I should also add that I was told to put protecting on before blow drying, And then put another protectant on before pressing with the flat iron. Is adding that second round of heat protection where I'm making the mistake because I'm literally adding moisture to the hair again that's not needed at that point? In other words, should you only use the heat protection spray or oil before blow drying and don't add more when you pass through with the iron?
Heyyyy. Perfect question. When I first started using heat protectant spray again I would alternate between only applying it before blow drying and then sometimes again when putting the iron on. I didn't like the effect I got when I applied twice. Buttttt. I make sure to apply heat protectant very evenly on all my hair ( top to bottom, inside and out) before I blow dry. And then I'll wait atleast 30 minutes after blow drying before I go in with the iron. Gives my strands a chance to fully absorb the moisturizer and heat protectant without there being too much residual wetness on the outer strands. I think it's the wetness that can really make the sizzle sound and give the burnt smell sometimes. I have tried doing my hair with no added moisture or product in the blow drying phase and my hair gets frizzy, reverts faster, and has a weird static effect. From being tooo light. Double check that the heat protectant spray you use protects up to as close as possible the temperature you set your iron too. I have also noticed that some heat protectant sprays seem like spraying a fine lovely mist vs a super soaker water gun. And some have a higher water content and don't evaporate as quickly as others. Which spray have you been using? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thanks for watching.
@@shanikacorb Thank you so much! I've been using Dark and Lovely Blow Dry Creme for the blow dry then IC Fantasia Heat Protectant Serum before the flat iron. I would let my hair air dry mostly before applying the blow dry creme and blow drying. Then, I'd apply a little serum to each section and flat iron right after applying. My iron was set at 375 and I'd wipe the plates before using but would still get the burned smell. I even noticed it after a silk press at the salon so I figured our hair just burns although I don't recall smells back when I was a kid and my mom would press my hair with the old school hot comb on the stove. I will try your suggestion to allow more time between blow drying and flat ironing and give the serum time to absorb. (Lately by the time I finished washing, conditioning, and blow drying, the whole day has gone by and I'm ready to press it and finish up and be done, LOL ). Thanks again for the advice I'm looking forward to giving it a try. 😊
@@alewisscott I think you are using good products and you got a good routine. For sure give it more time between the steps. It's exhausting the entire day process. I used to always wash at night and then straighten the next day so I'd have that extra 16 houra atleast for my hair to dry and absorb and my arms could rest. When I was younger my mom was using Lusters Pink Lotion. Loved the smell in my hair before heat was applied but then after I smelt like burnt plastic going to school. Lol. Keep me posted. I still really like the Tresemme Keratin smooth heat protectant and the color wow dream coat.
Hi 👋🏻
Please reply me
Hello 👋🏻 Can you give your phone number 📱 ?
I don't wirk out my sweat is anytime im jot I dtart sweatting in my head ok, randomly. I tired of coming out tangled roots!
Combing out the tangles in the roots is the worst. I hate it tooo. And it just gets worse the longer it is left. ♥️
I got highlights and silk press at a beauty college almost a month ago. She burnt tf out of my hair. it's been weeks still trying to get rid of the smell :( They tried to play dumb I said Im not tripping I promise just how do I get rid of the smell? They played dumb so I had to do some research. Spent that money for nothing because I only had it for 3 days before I had to wash it or something. I used baking soda it helped A LOT and Im going to use apple cider vinegar tonight because it's not all the way gone yet. It looked so good but it stank :( Im going to attempt to do it by myself today and tomorrow and I have no experience doing hair. I have everything I need though. I think she didnt get my hair all the way dry. Ill make sure to follow all these tips and Ill let ya'll know how it turns out.
Thank you for watching. I hope the tips help. Now girlllllll. I'm sorry that experience happened to you. I'm thinking the same thing, that it wasn't dried all the way and it fried smell from the water droplets sizzling. Orrrrr, potentially, the heat tools they were using might not have been very clean. Its easy for heat tools to get gunky build up on it, especially in the groves on the sides of the plates. The next time i ever go to get my hair done by a salon or someone using their own tools, ill be keeping an eye out for sanitizations jars and if the tools are icky. Just in case. You have tried really good methods for getting rid of the smell. Keep me posted indeed please. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
so your first reason is that you feel less beautiful with your natural hair, girl BYE. This bullshit.
girl youre a lifesaver ily
Thank you. I hope some of the tips help. 🙏 ♥️
Use the one with the black top
Good idea. Thank you for the suggestion. 😊
I always have the burnt hair smell and it drives me crazy. I'm most definitely going to change the way I straighten my hair.
The burnt smell can happen soo easily to all types of hair. There are times for me still where I will smell a burnt smell on certain sections and I can tell I did something wrong. Thanks for watching. I hope this year is burnt smell free for us all.😊♥️
I took a Break from Social Media, and came back to your Channel and saw Thisss😳🫢I’m Excited for your Hair Moving Forward🙌🏾
A massive change for the new year . It has definitely been a journey with many happy surprises. ♥️
Your hair is absolutely stunning 🤩💕
Thank you so much 😀 it wasn't always soo healthy and strong. But it was a journey of self love learning to take care of it.
Can coconut oil grow back bald spots
I think if it is just coconut oil alone it may not be able to grow back hair but it can certainly help keep the hair nourished and strong as it is growing so that the hair has a better chance of being retained. ❤️
In our religion Islam The sun eclipseed the same day our prophet Mohamed lost his baby son. People said it eclipsed because of the death of our prophet's son Our prophet said No this is not true The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death of someone from the people but they are two signs amongst the signs of Allah/ God, When you see them stand up and pray.
I love it. ❤️
@shanikacorb 😊 Prophet Muhammad was the most truthful and honest person of his age. As per the pagans of Makkah/ his people who rejected his call to Islam. Once, a man said: “O Messenger of Allah/God, where is my father?” Muhammad said: “In Hell.” When the man turned away, Muhammad called him back and said: “My father and your father are in Hell.” Because both their fathers were pagans, did not believe in Moses and Jesus may peace be upon all of them "O you who believe! believe in Allah and his Messenger and the scripture which He has sent to His Messenger and the scripture which He sent to those before (him). And who denies Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers and the Day of Judgment have gone far far astray.” (Al-Qur’an 4:136)
If I were to have this length of hair, I'll be buying in gallons, not in small tubs
That is exactly how I feel. All hair products need to be available in all sizes. I'm tired of the small tiny one use tubes. If I could have all my fave hair products in a salon size or bigger I would be very happy. 😊
@@shanikacorb better still, I'll just take a crash course on product formulation and start making what I can finish in a year😍😍
Good Job Auntie !!
Thank you!!
You have beautiful hair! Thank you so much for this comprehensive review ❤
You are so welcome! I am still using this product. I really enjoy it. I haven't had any issues with it so far. ♥️
Omg im late. Why would you do this. 😢😢😢😢😢😢like noooo
It was a wild moment when I decided to cut my hair. I promise not to do anything as drastic as that to my hair again. As I have been getting older, I have wanted a new change in hairstyle. 😊❤️😊 I'll be growing it back.
@@shanikacorb I was watching your last length check video and one of your shorts popped up. Idk I was a little sad when I watched your video of you cutting it. I love that you broke the stigma that black women can have long hair you know. But it will grow back. Please don’t cut it again lol
@@Antwenetta black women can definitely have super long hair and I will keep encouraging everyone to believe in that ability. With a good dedicated routine, I think my hair will reach waist length within 2 to 3 years. No more chopping. ♥️
I'm trying to just straighten at least every two weeks and avoid slicking my edges. It is so hard but your right it does cause breakage. Your hair still looks really good, I have a lot of short breakage hairs from slicking my hair back so it doesn't look that great if I don't.
Thank you soo much. It's very tempting to think we "need to " or the style "looks better" but I think freshly done hair shouldn't need all those extra slicking products. I would prefer to save it to the end of the days as close to wash day as possible. The gunky buildup is not fun, especially right after spending all that time washing. ❤️
@shanikacorb that is so true the gunky build up is horrible. I will try to avoid using any extra products and see how I get on. Could you do a video on how you style your hair throughout the week? You did something like that a while ago and it helped me think if ideas.
I am just watching this for entertainment because God put some extra on your hair that he decided not to give me. Wow!!! Gorgeous hair!
😊😊😊😊 thank you soo much. I appreciate it. Absolutely a blessing from the Lord. My crown. Hope you enjoyed the video.
Beautiful job!!! She is so cute! You two look so much alike!
Thank you so much!! Somedays she is my little mini twin. 💕
I’ll have to try this! I was always afraid of drying my roots again because I thought it would create breakage.
I was afraid of that as well. But just a quick shot for a few minutes and the roots are all good. I 😊
Beautiful hair❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job! And your cut looks good
Thank you. I had soo much fun. Making people smile makes me happy.
Good first attempt! It may be helpful to section the hair further; very coily or shrinkage-prone hair will be better managed in 4-8 sections. Instead of using a wide toothed comb, use a long-toothed one, like the one sold by revair, OR a detangling paddle brush, like the tangle teezer or Denman D38. Once each section is detangled, two-strand twist and/or clip it up until you're ready to blow dry. This will help keep the hair elongated and make blow drying much easier.
Thank you for the tips. I really appreciate it. It's always great to try something new and learn. I have a paddle brush from conair that I really like in my hair and I think it would work well in very coily hair. More sections next time for sure. 😊
Great job! You did well on the trim. Most important of all she seemed so pleased with the results!😊
Thanks so much! 😊 I was mosy nervous for the trim. Since I trimmed my own hair. I want to keep practicing hair cutting . So atleast I can help my loved ones with their hair when needed.
