The back of my hair is normal but the front is such an awkward mix of heat damaged and normal. I hate it but my hair is already too short and I REFUSE to cut it
I am so glad someone has an actual solution to heat damaged hair. Every other “natural hair UA-camr” says “cut it off🙄🙄” it’s not like it’s just at the tips of the amount of inches we’re okay with losing, its from the ROOT, ergo cutting just ain’t gonna happen
I straightened my hair ONCE in a longg time and got heat damaged.😑 But I guess it's my fault since I put too much oil I think I sizzled it. For weeks, every time I washed it, it smelled like burnt hair I couldn't get the smell out and I had straight strands in the front but it's going away now.🤔 My curl patterns haven't been the same (I mean I was never really natural because I had a perm before and never cut it but I guess the perm wore off). Every time my hair dries up it's just a poof with LACK of curls😒I don't wanna cut it off😭 BTW if you don't have a shower cap can you use a trash bag?
Be patient hun , it’s frustrating but it takes time to repair like any other organ in your body . Stay away from the heat and keep watching positive videos like this one . We are in this natural hair journey together sis 👩🏽🦱 best wishes 😘
I haven’t straightened my hair in almost 6 months it was perfectly fine but this time I guess I pushed my hair to far and now I got a bit of damage. I’m so sad right now. Hopefully my hair goes back to normal
Elasticity treatments are great for restoring curls. There is Curlific by Aphogee and one by Ouidad. Steam treatments are also wonderful for restoring curls. With consistent use they improve all curls even if there is no heat damage.
I had extreme heat damage and I did not big chop. My curls have changed with just basic hair steps and patience. When my curls were looser I was good with that too because it's just not that serious, as long as it was not breaking off. I think we have taken this curl pattern thing a bit too far, just my opinion yall.
Agreed. I feel I have a lil heat damage. But my hair is a lil straighter in some areas so it makes it easier to manage. My hair is 4c. I’m staying away from the heat and doing my treatments. As long as my hair isn’t falling out it’s fine. I just braid it from time to time
I big chopped last year and two months ago got my hair straightened at a Dominican salon and you know how violently they treat hair. I didn't even want to, my mom pestered me for weeks to "do something with that mop". It didn't even come out good. And now the few curls I had before are seemingly completely gone now, after just one straightening session. I just feel so angry, at myself and my mom. Thanks for reminding me about protein treatments. I had one of those years ago and my hair came out very soft and tameable.
I believe this. In past pics my wet hair was flat and was wavy and pics NOW my wet hair has volume and is curly. Crazy what 9 1/2 months can do. Now I’m about to go get my hair cut to cut straggly hair off in the front and whatever is in the back in 2 weeks and I’m excited! Loved this video. Lots of people don’t believe you can revive your curls from heat damage but I’m living proof
I agree with these tips, when transitioning from heat Damage the protein treatments did restore some the mildly damaged hair but there was so much severe damage I just big chopped lol *dont forget Trims when you see fit throughout this process*
I've been natural, no perm, for 4 years. My style was 2 strand twist. My hair grew a lot. I wanted to see how long my hair was, so I had my hair blow dried and flat ironed. I fell in love with the straight, long hair look. Dominican shops were my fsvorite. My roots are natural but stringy ends. Am I too late? My hair did not revert but I'm glad for your video. I'll keep trying.
Thanks for these tips! I've restored heat damage twice, but it took a long time and lots of hydration both times. This past time, I did protective styling for a while to give it a rest and I started using Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle conditioner and Urban Hydration's Coconut Oil conditioner for deep conditioning. I also used the LA Long Aid line for leave in and styling products. All of these are hyper conditioning and have helped my struggle curls start bouncing back.
Good to know. I got heat damage for the first time in my 8 yrs of being natural. I flat ironed my hair on higher then usual heat (455 degrees), and when I washed my hair tonight the very back is so stringy. The back is finer then the rest anyway and in the front and top of my hair I have several areas where the middle of my strands are bone straight the rest is curly. I'm so upset. My whole head looks unhealthy after this flat iron and it has never looked this way. I'm putting away the heat for good and doing nothing but moisturizing and protective styles for the next 6 months to see what happens.
I am about to try and restore my damage. Never had any before until I tried my luck and used a much higher heat then usual when I straightened my hair. Now I see several spots where it is heat damaged and a lot of it is smack dab in the middle of the strands. The ends curl and the root is curled but the middle is straight! ^ months of moisture and protective styles for me and no more heat ever.
I have heat damage 😩 my issue was the blow dryer..I wouldn’t have time to do my hair so I would blow dry it just to pull it back in a ponytail 😔 I miss my curls so much so I’m trying this routine. I have a weird damage pattern right now. It curls on my roots then the middle is kinda straight then close to the ends have a loose curl then the tips of my hair are bone straight 😱
I’m a model and I had to straighten my hair for this fashion show. The stylist butchered my natural hair and I’m trying to revive my hair! I’m so upset!
I have heat damage that won't leave my ends. I've been heat free during this pandemic & my hair is growing with the heat damaged hair hanging on for dear life. I'm going to try this regime & see if it works
Your story is my story . I’ve been natural for 5 yrs . I picked this year to straighten my hair for my birthday. Sadly I noticed my hair is straight in some spots and firizzy in others 🥺 it looks like I’ll be cutting it short real soon. The next time I decide to wear my hair straight I’ll just buy a wig 😁
I used to think I had heat damage, I would do everything(protein, DC, Oil, massages) but Im 13months post heat the front of my hair just has no curl. I have tight curls all over except the patch in the front #frustrating
I feel ya girl....thats how the front of my hair is as well. I always gets comments about my so called "heat damage" but really we all dont have the same texture all over!!! I have 3...it can be annoying at times but just have to get creative. Hang in there!!!
deardom0 I have the same issue, and I'm 1 yr. post heat usage! I'm wondering if it's from pulling hair into buns too tightly, or parting the hair on the same side? I'll try some of your suggestions and hope they work for me!
Contemplating cutting it all off or relaxing it 🙈 I hadn’t used heat on my hair for almost a year and I had a moment of weakness and blew it out without any heat protection. My hair was so healthy 😭 now it’s just a rough mess.
@@kimberlynvanoy2867 I’m glad to report that it is in a much better condition than when I wrote that post, about 6 months ago. I’m using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and deep conditioning weekly( I used to use Ausie products with the 3 minute treatment in the US, now I’m back in South Africa using local products). I also did a major trim 🙈 about 4cm and it’s so much softer and happier. Lesson learned. I’ve even blown it out again, with heat protectant, on warm not high heat and it reacted well. I hope you’re able to find a routine to nurse your hair back to health.
The best protein treatment in my journey of recovering from heat damage has been the Cherry Lola method. Aphogee was okay, but not nearly as effective. (I have low puriosity hair)
I'm trying to restore my heat damage but in the front of my hair it's very straight with no curl and I was thinking about cutting it off and starting over again.
i just had a silk press after 4 years of being natural bc i didn’t trim my hair and honestly my hair was kind of damaged and unhealthy before. so i hoped getting a silk press, the dead ends would be cut off and i can start making my natural hair healthy again but now i’m scared that my hair might not even revert back. i will try these tips and if i’m still not seeing progress then i might cut it. cutting it isn’t really a problem for me bc i’ve been wanting to cut my hair really short for a while now and just start all over but who knows 🤷🏾♀️
Thank you so much for making this video 😘 I have severe heat damaged due to straightening my hair but your are so honest! People say you don’t have to cut, just deep condition , use aphogee and your will come back 👀 what they tell you is it takes time !! I ‘be done all the above for a few weeks but it’s so depressing, video after video and no answer . I did trim most of the damage from the end almost 2 inches but I can see my curl pattern try to revive from the roots only . That’s still progress!😍You Rock ❤️ your new subbie 🙋🏽♀️
I tried to do this a year ago and I waited 5 months and my hair was so damaged I cut off 7 inches and no didn’t get all the damage gone but my curls look so much better and I’m gonna try to revert back the curls I can save
Went to a salon for color & a silk press. I knew I should’ve stuck with perm rods. For the most part my hair is fine but I do have a GOOD section in the front of my head on the side where it’s completely straight from root to tip. & a small section in the back that I can see. I knew it was damaged when my hair smelled burnt. & I ran to buy olaplex no. 0 & 3 & deep conditioner. So far my hair remains soft & moisturized. & I know I’ll have to grow out the dead sections & cut it away. I just can’t cut rn bc the whole strands are dead! 😭 I guess it’s fine. I’ll slap some braids on my head & let it grow out under wigs. I guess the only good thing is my hair isn’t breaking off, dry, or brittle. It just has straight sections & on my first two washes a lot of that burnt smell went away.
My hair is sooooo bad. I have a lot of split ends even up in my roots. I’ve been ripping them out 😢😢. I even have a keratin treatment but it’s not helping at all. I hate my hair and it’s making me depressed.
I had a straight weave and had to straightened the perimeter of my hair.I also had done a middle part and a side part so I had to straightened my hair for like a few months and now some of my hair looks like it blow dried. My usual texture 4b and my hairs like armpit length. I really don’t want to have to cut it.
I did one silk press after being totally natural since 2017 and my curls are SHOT! I’m trying to be patient I care for my own hair so well I still can’t believe one silk press set me back
Same here. I came out of locs after 5 years. My hair was weak and brittle. I flatirons my hair 1 time and when wet my hair looked like long spider legs…smh I hated the fact that the only way to get my hair to look nice was more using more heat. I ended up cutting it myself. I’ll never flat iron or blow dry again. Only roller set and wraps in the winter and wash and go in the summer.
Thank you so much for this video. I am experiencing heat damage and i was about to cut my long hair 😩 and last week i use a mask with bentonite clay and they look different. Thanks for your advices.
Can putting your hair in a bun (the way you do), everyday stretch out your curls because I have been and the top of my hairs curls have not been the same.
The pool and sun ruined my hair so much it’s literally blonde at the end like literally actual blonde. I have dark brown hair, I’m literally going crazy. My hair is dead at the end, “dead ends :)” I need to watch this. My hair is gonna be dead for my 13th birthday next year
Oueeeee y’all don’t understand how pissed I am!!! I went to this hairdresser and she gave me my first blow out on my natural 4zzzz hair now my hair is like 4A it’s a beautiful curl but it’s not mine I think ima sue!
I’m just screenshot this and I’m sending it straight to my cousin!!! Word for word sounds like something that would come out of her mouth LMAOOO!! I’m so sorry this happened to you tho...heat damage is worst. Aphogee really does wonders..hope it helps ❤️
Life Of T’asia sometimes! This is my second/ hopefully last “BIG CHOP”. My hair grew SO fast after my last and I’m more knowledgeable now so I’m hoping it will do the same this time.
How long Can one expect the hair to fully be repaired if your hair isn’t extremely damaged. I don’t have straight pieces . I have most of my elasticity from my dyed hair. It’s is very dry and frizzy. By using protein treatments, when can you expect for it to return back to my natural hair? How long can it take? How many times do you have to use a protein treatment to see results if your hair isn’t Badly damaged??
My hair was wavy and all over the place, i wanted straight hair so i straightened my hair every day just my side bangs bc that's really where the problem is, and my hair is heat damaged now😔 thanks for the help!
I can see which pieces are obviously fried. Thankfully I have a lot of hair so those pieces can be hidden. As for the rest, it's bouncing back. Gonna do these follow up treatments
So i did the big chop in February of 2019.So my grandma does my hair and she is very old school and gets offended when I inform her about my hair.Anyways so she convinced me to straighten it and I did.Now every time I wash it it smells like burnt hair and I’m sick of it.On top of that it’s none straight.I have length and have came a long way to love my hair for this to happen.At this point I’m thinking about doing another big chop and not straighten it because length doesn’t matter anymore my texture does.Any suggestions before I decide to cut it.
I started trying to restore my heat damaged hair about a month ago and honestly im not going to cut it till my hair reaches my booty thats it ima just let my hair run its natural corse and let it grow out
One of the sides of my hair is gone. But on the other side in the back there’s is no curls just puffy. Ans in the front from heat... it had broken off and is puffy as well it’s so annoying 😕
I would cut it but most of my hair is fine, it’s just the front/most noticeable piece of my hair is straight and frizzy and no matter how much I twist it or pin curl it by the end of the day it will be straight. Any advice?
I stopped straightening my hair,weave one I learnt to love my curls finally in life.then for my bday decided to straighten it few weeks ago having a sew in gifted to me and I have completely straightened my hair line it’s so bad and I’m really down about it.I jus don’t think there is any saving it and I had already cut the random straight bits.biggest regret 😢
I just realized today that my hair is pretty heat damaged. I only really straighten my hair maybe once a month or once every 2 months and I end up washing it out after like 3 or 4 days because it gets super oily, but I guess I just bumped the heat up too much when I did it a week ago or something.. Now it's like wavy/straight everywhere and it doesn't even look that bad, but I miss my curls!! Anyway, what do you think of the natural treatments that many of the blogs suggest (like mayonnaise, olive oil, etc.). Do those actually work? Also, how harsh is the Aphogee protein treatment? I'm worried that it will be too harsh for my hair.
I love argan life Ultra Nourishing Argan Oil, and their argan oil does not fail expectations. It has a fresh scent, that smells nutty, but without brassy overtones. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel. I comb a bit into my hair roots, and when I brush it out, it shines! I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation. A review was not promised to the supplier in exchange for the sample but I stated that if I provided a review that it would be fair and honest.
Hey can I just vent really quick 🥺. I’m so insecure about my hair. It was so long but it was heat damaged. I thought that if I cut my ends it’ll regrow into something healthier. My boyfriend told me not to do it and I didn’t listen. I don’t know what I should do, I’m 16 and the last time I had a trim I was 13. I don’t know if my heat damaged hair can be revived. What should I do 😣
I loved this video so much, your very wise and what you spoke was facts 😍🥰, my hair is heat damaged, and more of the back part of my hair and side of my hair is, I do protein treatment every month after I take out my box braids & it does wonder. I don’t use heat but when I do it severally damages my hair and I hate it 😭, because I went natural 3yrs ago after heat damaged & relaxer ruined my hair. Now my hair is healthy, thick, full, and growing every month, with my box braids. I want to use heat but once use I use it, it damages my hair and changes it. So since I don’t use it, I’m gonan let myself use it once a yr or none at all. I’ve worked too hard to get my hair completely natural for it to damage my hair again 😭😩, any tips for me to prevent damage when I really need to use heat & how to keep it healthy after using it 😩?!?!
my hair has been verryyy color damaged and head damaged and has appeared straight for years and nothing i try gets it back to my natural 3b curls. im pretty sure my hair is low porosity. i’ve tried big chopping a few times and nothing. i need help please!!!
My hair is naturally curly but then I started straightening my hair cause it was easier to comb but then I noticed I was straightening my hair a little too much so then I compared a picture of how my hair used to look and now and it's more frizzy and ugly I lost all of my curls because of the straight iron can I fix my hair without cutting it?
I just need the ends to look less dead as I grow my hair before I cut them. I use loose protective hair styles to curl the ends and make it look more even.
Nice video but I don't really know my curl pattern I have been relaxing my hair since i was five years old now it has chemical and heat damage my hair has turned brown and red
Today is the day I almost just cut all my hair off my hair is like 3b hair and it does have heat damage not ass bad but its still not the best and my strands are fine and just weird, I mosturize my hair a lot and it still ends up frizzy and looking dry at this point idek what to do
Since it is a small section I would just try and do some of these steps. All and all you're really going to have to wait it out until it either grow our or heals itself.
From root to end my hair is natural, heat damaged, tdd hen perm. I transitioned a little and noticed that the heat damage was gone a little but the perm is still cool & straight
I have heat damage on a small part of my ends on both sides on my hair. What to do? I can’t cut because all my hair is already uneven, and no product has been able to revive the hair?
Is it unusual that ever since I started spraying my hair with se salt spray then blow drying it, the area lost hair, its chronically dry and wrinkly and won't grow as fast? My scalp also started to hurt when I would blow dry. I've stopped after seeing the damage. I used to have thick and fat hair strands now it's all super fine and dry!!!! I also found I've been using protein shampoo n conditioner that just makes my hair brittle. Ofc I've stopped all culprits mentioned. Trying to recover my hair. Pls help.
The back of my hair is normal but the front is such an awkward mix of heat damaged and normal. I hate it but my hair is already too short and I REFUSE to cut it
How is it so far, did you cut it?
Me too
same but what i’m doing is growing my hair out then cutting it.

Thank you so much for making this video 😘 I have severe heat damaged due to straightening my hair but your are so honest! People say you don’t have to cut, just deep condition , use aphogee and your will come back 👀 what they tell you is it takes time !! I ‘be done all the above for a few weeks but it’s so depressing, video after video and no answer . I did trim most of the damage from the end almost 2 inches but I can see my curl pattern try to revive from the roots only . That’s still progress!😍You Rock ❤️ your new subbie 🙋🏽♀️
I’ve foolishly been going to the Dominicans every two weeks...
Sis i only went to them ONCE and got heat damage
NEVER AGAIN.
Karine Pierre depends on who you go to 🤷🏽♀️
RIGHTTT
my mom straightens my hair 2 times a year
I tried to do this a year ago and I waited 5 months and my hair was so damaged I cut off 7 inches and no didn’t get all the damage gone but my curls look so much better and I’m gonna try to revert back the curls I can save
Thank you. Was considering a big chop but this has given me hope haha
Went to a salon for color & a silk press. I knew I should’ve stuck with perm rods. For the most part my hair is fine but I do have a GOOD section in the front of my head on the side where it’s completely straight from root to tip. & a small section in the back that I can see. I knew it was damaged when my hair smelled burnt. & I ran to buy olaplex no. 0 & 3 & deep conditioner. So far my hair remains soft & moisturized. & I know I’ll have to grow out the dead sections & cut it away. I just can’t cut rn bc the whole strands are dead! 😭 I guess it’s fine. I’ll slap some braids on my head & let it grow out under wigs. I guess the only good thing is my hair isn’t breaking off, dry, or brittle. It just has straight sections & on my first two washes a lot of that burnt smell went away.
I used tresamé heat protector on my hair once’s when straightening my hair and it gave me horrible heat damage
BrazyKidLiv 😮...me too!
My hair is sooooo bad. I have a lot of split ends even up in my roots. I’ve been ripping them out 😢😢. I even have a keratin treatment but it’s not helping at all. I hate my hair and it’s making me depressed.
I’m upset I have heat damage in the front like literally were I leave out my hair to straighten it’s so short but the rest of my hair is long
I had a straight weave and had to straightened the perimeter of my hair.I also had done a middle part and a side part so I had to straightened my hair for like a few months and now some of my hair looks like it blow dried. My usual texture 4b and my hairs like armpit length. I really don’t want to have to cut it.
I did one silk press after being totally natural since 2017 and my curls are SHOT! I’m trying to be patient I care for my own hair so well I still can’t believe one silk press set me back
Same here. I came out of locs after 5 years. My hair was weak and brittle. I flatirons my hair 1 time and when wet my hair looked like long spider legs…smh I hated the fact that the only way to get my hair to look nice was more using more heat. I ended up cutting it myself. I’ll never flat iron or blow dry again. Only roller set and wraps in the winter and wash and go in the summer.
I've been watching you for a while and OMG your hair is goals!!!!! It's grown so muchhh
Awww thanks so much Rebecca!! I really appreciate you!!!! xox
I clicked this video just to say that your bun is GLORIOUS! Like, omggg. Lol.
Thank you so much for this video. I am experiencing heat damage and i was about to cut my long hair 😩 and last week i use a mask with bentonite clay and they look different. Thanks for your advices.
Your hair is GORGEOUS!!😍 This video is very informational so thanks beautiful!!☺️
Can putting your hair in a bun (the way you do), everyday stretch out your curls because I have been and the top of my hairs curls have not been the same.
The pool and sun ruined my hair so much it’s literally blonde at the end like literally actual blonde. I have dark brown hair, I’m literally going crazy. My hair is dead at the end, “dead ends :)” I need to watch this. My hair is gonna be dead for my 13th birthday next year
Thank You! ! I'm not sure it may be breakage I'm eating healthy and takung my multivitamins daily. I'm have been stressed at work
Oueeeee y’all don’t understand how pissed I am!!! I went to this hairdresser and she gave me my first blow out on my natural 4zzzz hair now my hair is like 4A it’s a beautiful curl but it’s not mine I think ima sue!
I’m just screenshot this and I’m sending it straight to my cousin!!! Word for word sounds like something that would come out of her mouth LMAOOO!! I’m so sorry this happened to you tho...heat damage is worst. Aphogee really does wonders..hope it helps ❤️
@@MelissaDenise Lolol ima try aphogee!
Wish I had seen this BEFORE I cut my hair!
Life Of T’asia sometimes! This is my second/ hopefully last “BIG CHOP”. My hair grew SO fast after my last and I’m more knowledgeable now so I’m hoping it will do the same this time.
How long Can one expect the hair to fully be repaired if your hair isn’t extremely damaged. I don’t have straight pieces . I have most of my elasticity from my dyed hair. It’s is very dry and frizzy. By using protein treatments, when can you expect for it to return back to my natural hair? How long can it take? How many times do you have to use a protein treatment to see results if your hair isn’t Badly damaged??
I have no straight pieces in my hair but the top of my hair is frizzy
My hair was wavy and all over the place, i wanted straight hair so i straightened my hair every day just my side bangs bc that's really where the problem is, and my hair is heat damaged now😔 thanks for the help!
same...nctzens with heat damaged hair squad!
I am trying to restore mine now. 1st month of treatment and not seeing a huge difference. Hoping I can save it. But will give it some more time.
I can see which pieces are obviously fried. Thankfully I have a lot of hair so those pieces can be hidden. As for the rest, it's bouncing back. Gonna do these follow up treatments
My heat damage is starting to curl I don’t understand if I should cut or leave
So i did the big chop in February of 2019.So my grandma does my hair and she is very old school and gets offended when I inform her about my hair.Anyways so she convinced me to straighten it and I did.Now every time I wash it it smells like burnt hair and I’m sick of it.On top of that it’s none straight.I have length and have came a long way to love my hair for this to happen.At this point I’m thinking about doing another big chop and not straighten it because length doesn’t matter anymore my texture does.Any suggestions before I decide to cut it.
By the way I’ve tried apple cider vinegar ,proteins treatment ,and washing it a couple of times and it’s still straight
I started trying to restore my heat damaged hair about a month ago and honestly im not going to cut it till my hair reaches my booty thats it ima just let my hair run its natural corse and let it grow out
Yeah I would just do more protein treatments and deep condition more often!!
Yas!!
Does heat damage do anything on straight hair? I only see curly hair stuff on youtube
One of the sides of my hair is gone. But on the other side in the back there’s is no curls just puffy. Ans in the front from heat... it had broken off and is puffy as well it’s so annoying 😕
Your hair is very healthy beautiful Queen this is good information to not cut the hair restore it.
I would cut it but most of my hair is fine, it’s just the front/most noticeable piece of my hair is straight and frizzy and no matter how much I twist it or pin curl it by the end of the day it will be straight. Any advice?
I stopped straightening my hair,weave one I learnt to love my curls finally in life.then for my bday decided to straighten it few weeks ago having a sew in gifted to me and I have completely straightened my hair line it’s so bad and I’m really down about it.I jus don’t think there is any saving it and I had already cut the random straight bits.biggest regret 😢
Is the aztec healing clay a protein treatment?
I just realized today that my hair is pretty heat damaged. I only really straighten my hair maybe once a month or once every 2 months and I end up washing it out after like 3 or 4 days because it gets super oily, but I guess I just bumped the heat up too much when I did it a week ago or something.. Now it's like wavy/straight everywhere and it doesn't even look that bad, but I miss my curls!! Anyway, what do you think of the natural treatments that many of the blogs suggest (like mayonnaise, olive oil, etc.). Do those actually work? Also, how harsh is the Aphogee protein treatment? I'm worried that it will be too harsh for my hair.
I love argan life Ultra Nourishing Argan Oil, and their argan oil does not fail expectations. It has a fresh scent, that smells nutty, but without brassy overtones. It absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel. I comb a bit into my hair roots, and when I brush it out, it shines! I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation. A review was not promised to the supplier in exchange for the sample but I stated that if I provided a review that it would be fair and honest.
it's a 10 leave in miracle leave in gave me heat damage my curls was poppin before i tried that stuff never again it didn't work for my hair.
My curl pattern is more 4a now and it was 4b . Is this heat damage???
Can we talk about your bun in this video? Super cute!! Tutorial please
So will your hair still be growing at its regular rate while you have heat damage?
I have bangs that i bleached and now straightened, now they are almost completely straight. I really don't want to cut it off.
It’s sooo annoying !!! My heat damage is in the middle of my hair shaft wtf ?!!!
Hey can I just vent really quick 🥺. I’m so insecure about my hair. It was so long but it was heat damaged. I thought that if I cut my ends it’ll regrow into something healthier. My boyfriend told me not to do it and I didn’t listen. I don’t know what I should do, I’m 16 and the last time I had a trim I was 13. I don’t know if my heat damaged hair can be revived. What should I do 😣
Wait it out and baby those ends. Deep condition weekly and stay away from heat for at least 3 months
Did your hair still grow fast since its damage because its still natural and lots of people say it grows faster
Your hair is Gorge!!!!
I loved this video so much, your very wise and what you spoke was facts 😍🥰, my hair is heat damaged, and more of the back part of my hair and side of my hair is, I do protein treatment every month after I take out my box braids & it does wonder. I don’t use heat but when I do it severally damages my hair and I hate it 😭, because I went natural 3yrs ago after heat damaged & relaxer ruined my hair. Now my hair is healthy, thick, full, and growing every month, with my box braids. I want to use heat but once use I use it, it damages my hair and changes it. So since I don’t use it, I’m gonan let myself use it once a yr or none at all. I’ve worked too hard to get my hair completely natural for it to damage my hair again 😭😩, any tips for me to prevent damage when I really need to use heat & how to keep it healthy after using it 😩?!?!
Did you cut your hair?
my hair has been verryyy color damaged and head damaged and has appeared straight for years and nothing i try gets it back to my natural 3b curls. im pretty sure my hair is low porosity. i’ve tried big chopping a few times and nothing. i need help please!!!
Idk if I missed it but is there a specific schedule for all these methods ? Like what order should I be doing all of this
My hair is naturally curly but then I started straightening my hair cause it was easier to comb but then I noticed I was straightening my hair a little too much so then I compared a picture of how my hair used to look and now and it's more frizzy and ugly I lost all of my curls because of the straight iron can I fix my hair without cutting it?
Show us how you did this bun please😍
Can you grow out heat damage hair?
Grow it out or cut it. Treat your hair during either process
i grow mine out it’s long now I’m still going to cut it tho
I just need the ends to look less dead as I grow my hair before I cut them. I use loose protective hair styles to curl the ends and make it look more even.
Nice video but I don't really know my curl pattern I have been relaxing my hair since i was five years old now it has chemical and heat damage my hair has turned brown and red
Do you have any tips for relaxed hair damage?
Can I grow out colored damaged hair without cutting/ trimming it?
Absolutely…it’s your preference. Some
ppl just don’t have the patience. Make sure you’re doing treatments to keep your hair strong during the process.
Your hair is beautiful!
can heat damaged hair get back to shape?
Today is the day I almost just cut all my hair off my hair is like 3b hair and it does have heat damage not ass bad but its still not the best and my strands are fine and just weird, I mosturize my hair a lot and it still ends up frizzy and looking dry at this point idek what to do
I got heat damage on the front of my hair. its kind of curly in the front. but the middle and the sides are straight. I don't know what to do
Since it is a small section I would just try and do some of these steps. All and all you're really going to have to wait it out until it either grow our or heals itself.
will heat damage stop the growth?
From root to end my hair is natural, heat damaged, tdd hen perm. I transitioned a little and noticed that the heat damage was gone a little but the perm is still cool & straight
I have heat damage on a small part of my ends on both sides on my hair. What to do? I can’t cut because all my hair is already uneven, and no product has been able to revive the hair?
My curls was manipulated in one spot from putting my hair in tight buns ☹️I still have edges atleast but I’m thinking about cutting it
Is it unusual that ever since I started spraying my hair with se salt spray then blow drying it, the area lost hair, its chronically dry and wrinkly and won't grow as fast? My scalp also started to hurt when I would blow dry. I've stopped after seeing the damage. I used to have thick and fat hair strands now it's all super fine and dry!!!! I also found I've been using protein shampoo n conditioner that just makes my hair brittle. Ofc I've stopped all culprits mentioned. Trying to recover my hair. Pls help.
