    some people don't understand 4c hair is extremely hard to straighten by yourself but obviously people with loose textures don't understand that

      It really isn't... My hair is kinkier than hers but can achieve amazing silkiness & bounce with the right products. She used a lot of products & barely any heat which is why she had those results. But she seems to be happy with the way it turned out so kudos to her (:

      Agree, i have similar hair and when i was natural as a kid could get it silky straight with bounce. We always used a hot comb though, perhaps thoose are better for 4 types attempting straight look?

    • @BbyAriesASMR
      @BbyAriesASMR 8 років тому +18

      Sim lala Yep! Hot combs can achieve great results if used properly. Tbh you just have to get the hair as straight as possible with a blow dryer to achieve a great silk press.

      +Dazfordays I'm 4a b and I get a better look with a hot comb. I mean a hot comb is basically the chase method with one tool instead of two.

    Comment continued. Y'all expect the woman hair to be bone straight although she has 4c hair, used no additional heat used such as large hood dryer rollers or a blow dryer! She did a great job just needs a trim. Ma'am do you and don't listen to these negative nancies!!

      +GlamNP The thing is, there are way to get straighter more sleek hair even if you are 4c. It DEF. won't be the first time you straighten though... since I'm assuming she doesn't straighten often. But after a while, hair will learn how to be straight without heat damage.

    • @Gross126
      @Gross126 9 років тому +6

      GlamNP same way I straighten mine. water based leave in, straightening serum, heat protectant, blow dry with tension method, flat iron with tension method.

    • @glamnp5456
      @glamnp5456 9 років тому +17

      +Lyviiz That would probably be my technique as well. But the key words are *Blow Dry* which she did not use, explains the stiffness in hair and maybe the excessive use of products which she already explained why she does it that way. That's my point in my comment. But, "it's not what you say, it's how you say it." Not you, but some of the posters can be down right rude and disrespectful.

    I have no clue what all those people below are talking about. The point of straightening your hair is that you get it *straight* :/ and I loved how sleek it was instead of it being puffy. All this talk about body and movement as if our hair is Caucasian - it will never move the same way!
    Your hair straightened looked nice in my opinion, thanks for sharing!

    I have a friend who is a beautician who can get my extreme coily 4C hair bone straight. The problem is any slight moisture that touches my scalp will bring it back to it's coily form thus leaving me to have to try to imitate what my friend did which I absolutely can not do. Also with years of getting burned during hot comb presses when I was kid left me to have a fear of hot things in my head so I just stay away from the straight hair. The only way my hair will stay straight is if I put a relaxer in it and I'm not going back to that,.

    While flatironing put perm rods or flexi rods in. Leave them in for a few hours and your hair will be super bouncy with volume. That's I have to do for my 4c hair but you did an awesome job

  • @Mrsjimbob255
    @Mrsjimbob255 9 років тому +12

    When I first started straightening my hair it kind of looked like that (yes I have 4c hair) and it is because of all the product in it. It weighed down my hair so much and looked too greasy. A simple change or just reduction of the amount of product you use and more concentration on straightening the full length of the hair properly (mainly meaning the root) will have your hair having soo much more movement and sleekness to it :)

    • @JennJackson
      @JennJackson  9 років тому

    • @makisov
      @makisov 9 років тому

    I love your videos, have probably watched evey single on since you chopped a couple years ago. I know you take very good care of your hair. Finger detangle, deep condition and so on. Yet your hair is thining/breaking at the ends. Could it be the protective styling? Perhaps your hair is not getting enough moisture while in a protective state? Or the synthetic hair is somehow mixing with yours and causing yours to break? You are still very young, surely the breakage couldn't be due to aging? I big chopped 18months ago, due to thin ends and I want to avoid a repeat. Can you think of anything that could be causing the thining? When was the last time you trimmed? How often do you trim?

    • @kaleyaphillips8683
      @kaleyaphillips8683 9 років тому +1

      Miss4C Those are good questions. I followed her videos for when she was doing the protective style challenge and saw that her hair was thinning. I know it's recommended to let your hair breathe and be free for two weeks between doing long term protective styling. Or it could be a diet factor as well.

    • @JennJackson
      @JennJackson  9 років тому

      Miss4C I agree, I try to take care of my hair but I have been a bit lazy with it/busy with school. My hair started thinning before the challenge so I am not going to associate it with the protective styles just yet. I won't do a long term style this summer so I will see if that helps. I trim pretty often (3-4 months) and I had a hair cut basically at the end of the challenge. I am just going to cover all the basics such has a great regimen along with an excellent diet and see if that helps.

    • @kaleyaphillips8683
      @kaleyaphillips8683 9 років тому

      I would suggest going to the doctor. If nothing is wrong then just blame it on aging. The older we get the more our bodies change. That could be a factor especially if you're taking care of your hair.

      @ceejsarchives 8 років тому +8

      +Sarah SJ Simon what oil are you using because you really shouldn't be using any oil after flat ironing as it weighs the hair clumping it together and stops the flow and definitely not during as that is the same as cooking your hair. In addition it makes a big difference if you blow dry your hair first. A good heat protectant to use when blow drying and flat ironing I find is you pro it's not a spray but a cream and you only use a really small amount. I've seen great results on 4 hair. Hope this helps😊

      Thanks! My daughter has 4c(I believe) Lol and I have a time getting it straight and keeping it straight. She's in middle school and wants her hair straight. Relaxers aren't allowed, so I turn to UA-cam. Doesn't help that we live in Florida. The humidity makes all the effort I use to straighten her hair, useless. By her 2nd period class, it's back to its normal, poofy, afro self. But I'm going to try it this way! Thanks!

    Hi there Jenna!
    I'm from South Africa and my hair is slightly courser then yours.
    I wanted to know, How do I prevent my hair from breaking? When I grow my natural hair I find that it breaks so easily.
    How should I sleep with my hair?
    Which product can I use.

    • @zazilicious
      @zazilicious 9 років тому

      +Boitumelo Koopedi Try to keep your hair routine as simple as you can. Everyone's hair is different and as you go along your hair journey you will figure out what your hair loves and what it doesn't. With my hair, after many trials and error I learned that it grows best when it is left alone, braided with little manipulation. I wash it every week but only because I get product build up easily. I wash my hair and deep condition weekly, then I do the LOC method then cornrow, tie my hair at night and that is it I wear wigs for the week to come until my next wash. I do protein treatments every two weeks so twice a month and take vitamins. For the products I use: tresemme clarifying shampoo, shea moisture deep conditioning mask. For the LOC method (liquide, oil and cream) I uses keracare hair milk, it is very light but yet really penetrates your hair leaving them soft and moisturised, then I put a light oil like grapeseed oil and then lock all that moisture with a cream and I use lush R&B hair cream but ORC hair repair intense moisture cream works as well if you don't have a lush shop nearby. So after I do the LOC method where I apply my liquid hair milk then my grapeseed oil and my hair cream, I just cornrow my hair and when I need to go out I wear wigs. I find wigs to be a life saver because you can take them off as you please, rehydrate your hair with water, massage your scalp to stimulate blood flow and increase hair growth and wash your hair and treat it as you please plus it allows you to change hair styles without damaging your own hair. This has saved my hair as I used to get a lot of shedding and very fragile hair too. Do take vitamins too and do either fortnightly or monthly hydrolysed protein treatment it will revive your hair!

    • @JennJackson
      @JennJackson  9 років тому

      +Boitumelo Koopedi @Zahra Lamin gave you a well rounded answer! Low manipulation is key for 4C hair. I sleep in a satin bonnet to prevent my hair for drying out. I also keep things simple with washing, deep conditioning, and moisturizing weekly. I have a video that will show you the products I use

      +Michael DeGree wash and condition. Blow dry to stretch if she's natural. Apply light product or none at all is best (aside from heat protectant). To get silky results, do the chasing method (following flat iron with a comb). After you've straightened, trim her ends or if you don't trust yourself with that, get it done professionally. Hope this helps
