I was one who never used a blow dryer or flat iron on my natural hair
Until this one time my BF asked what my hair looked like straight
So I got a silk press
And from that ONE interaction with heat I had about 9-11inches of damage.
I was almost waist length y’all
So I was MAAAAAAD.
It’s a year later and I’m transitioning
But I’m still not over it.
And now me and him ain’t even together no more.
Girl that's some real hurt. I'm not over my heat damage either
i did blow dry my hair twice or once a month and my hair was healthy. then i decide to silk press my hair for the holiday. firstly when it got silk pressed it wasn’t even that straight, you could still see the frizz and the roots were slightly curled so i didn’t think i was going to get heat damage. later when i went to jamaica and washed it out i didn’t see any damage at all but then once i got to england again i noticed a lot of straight parts. i’m planning to big chop my hair or try a hair mask because apparently that might work so imma pray
@@surreal5864 Try a clarifying shampoo first before big chopping. Those products in the silk serum seems to weigh the hair down and clarifying shampoo will get it out.
GodLovesVon thank you, I’ll try it after I take my braids out
Girl I literally did a big chop from heat damage and my hair grew back so nice, full, and thick and here I go thinking ONE straighten wont hurt. Now im here watching heat damage revert vids. LITERALLY FROM STRAIGHTENING MY
HAIR ONCE AFTER almost 3 years
It took me 9 months to realize I had heat damage. For like 7 washes straight my hair smelled like fire. It reverted ok but when the roots started growing back so thick I knew something was up. I am seriously not using heat for years straight so I can get back to the best of my hair.
That burnt hair smell is the worst!
Neeshpeesh123 Did you go to the Dominicans? They're the only ones I know that straighten hair and it'll smell like fire 🔥.
did you cut your hair or it came back to life somehow?? i need helpp
It took me years
I blow dry my hair almost 24/7 it's fine I use a heat protect. I use to have heat damage it was straight from root to ends. I've gotten better and have healthier hair but sis heat isn't a monster nor your friend.
"things last longer than people do" Ain't that the truth 🙌
Truly
Sad ain't it
I have heat damage now in certain parts, mostly the roots so I'm growing it out. I was devastated at first but hair is hair and this is a journey for me.
If you have heat damage at the roots, its time to go bald…
@@spongebob8157How do you get heat damage at the roots…?
It only took me one year to bring my curls back after heat damage I never did the big chop I just did protective styling and I didn't use any heat for a year
Good for you!
ONLY??
I did the same thing and I had really bad heat damage and my hair reverted back. It took some patience, no heat and protein treatments, but it was all worth it. I learned a lot about my hair in that year's time😊
This is just like a friend of mine that didn't big chop or cut her relaxed hair off. It broke off sis. It didn't revert
*"You have to let the heat go"*
This is the the truth, it just is...there's no way around it just stay away from the heat!
Definitely!
lorettalynn Davis
But then why I see some people who haven’t put heat on their hair in years, straighten their hair and it’s still see through stragly ends
🔥🔥🔥 it's called NATURAL HAIR for a reason. Mama Nature can't be toyed with.
Not even natural anymore and I still watch you. You are BOMB with your genuine attitude. Love ya!!!
Awwwwww you're wonderful. Thank you!
MyThriftedCloset where in the Caribbean are u from?
I've only just realised just how badly heat damaged my hair is. I hated my curls and always straightened them since I was really young, but I plan to transition into my curls again. I've just made that choice so this video was so helpful and inspiring so thank you!!
I can’t put my hair in two puffs or even one it was sooooo biggggg😢and now it’s just straight
How how how
Tropical Caii right 😭
Same
Same
Same
Your curls are 🔥 ❤️ going natural was the best decision I made 👏🏾 I am a year & 3 months natural! I need to get my hands on that Qredew 🤗🤗🤗
AYEEEEEEEE. Yes, you definitely need one
Thanks for the hair diagnosis... Thanks to your info I realize that my hair is suffering from heat damage. Thanks for the treatment tips.
Thanks for creating this video, people need to know the truth!! Love the hair and makeup!! 💜💜💜
Thank you Tam!
This video helped me out so much. I'll be slowly trimming my ends, doing more treatments and using way less heat. Thanks for the tips/info
Sure thing!
I just suffered severe heat damage 3 weeks ago. I decided to have a silk press done after NOT using heat in 8 years. I finally cut my hair off yesterday and starting over again.
Allie's Natural Hair Community you should havd tried the protein treatment called olaplex # 3 your hair would have been saved
Outside of cutting my hair nothing would have repaired my hair. I had shoulder length hair in its natural state. After a protein treatment, deep conditioning my hair was literally burnt off
@@EarthAngel__1111 What system?
Dang girl...where were you when a perm took out my hair (mid-back) & I went thru the transition period. It's grown back (took 3yrs)but...it's now heat damaged! Thanks to you I know just what to do & (more important) not to do! I'm too old for all this transition. Love this video ❤️
Thanks so much for watching. Good luck on your journey
Love this! I didnt realise I had heat damage until I started my hair journey (3 weeks ago!) and noticed my hair looked exactly like yours @ 3:19 when I wash it. Thanks for keeping it real
And thanks for watching!
Omg!! I am so glad I found this video!!! My hair texture is almost identical to yours and I had heat damage from straightening my hair. I'm now in the transitioning period. I've cut off a lot of the straight ends and just allowing it to grow back curly and full. I can't wait.. i miss my curls! 😍
They’ll come back!
I just trimmed my hair, not for heat damage, but because I neglected trimming until I had nearly 2 inches of damaged and tangled ends. My ends are thanking me now. It will all grow back soon enough
My hair used to be 3A and even though I have thick hair, I straightened my hair for like 2 and a half years. Now the left side and back of my hair is just bone straight, only my left side actually regained a bit of curl. I’m really upset but I started going natural like a month ago and my hair grows fairly quick so I’m going to be patient 💖
You know what you are doing , keep it up!
THIS is the video i’ve been looking for! i got a silk press 6 months ago, (when i should’ve just done a blow out & trim) and have SEVERE heat damage because of it - bone straight at the ends. 🥺 after seeing it i knew i’d have to transition/big chop all over again which is totally fine with me. i prefer the twa, short/medium length.. 💪🏽😅 #NewSubbie 💜
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video, gave me good tips and motivation to finally start over my healthy hair journey! And btw you and your hair are so beautiful!
Awww thanks darling
Yessss ! Preach Girl ! NEW SUBBIEE😁💕, I Actually Watched Your Original Heat Damage Video But I Wasn't Subscribed . So Glad I Found You Again ! And You're Really Speaking Truth In This Video , A Lot Of People Want Thick, Healthy, Natural Hair But Don't Have The Patience To Care For It Properly . This Video Was Definitely Helpful. Love Your Videos Hun 💯🙌🏾
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it
I agree with you 100%. I also had severe heat damage, and had to let the heat go. I have not used heat in 4.5 years, and I LOVE not having heat damage anymore.
Hey girl! This is my first time finding your channel and I'm so happy I did!!! You just gained a new subbie
Thanks for subbing love!
You have a new subie You were the most honest out of all the heat damage hair videos I've seen. 🙏🏽thank you
Folks love selling dreams girl. You’re welcome.
I feel like you were talking straight to me. THANK YOU!!!
You are welcome!
I dont normally comment on videos but this was so informative. Get job! I feel like it gives me a clear understanding of I should approach my heat damage. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
This video came right on time. I needed to hear this. Thank you.
Sure thing
I straightened my hair like 2 weeks ago to see how long it is now & after I washed my hair yesterday I saw that a few strands where straight at the ends. I'm so sad right now, it's not as bad as it could be. It's only like an inch, but I'm determined to have a head full of curly hair ONLY. So I'm gonna just grow out the heat damage.
Good luck love!
SheRea DelSol so you get heat damage if you flat iron once?
Octavia Eskridge it depends, in my case I straightened my hair two weeks ago, kept them straight for a week, did some touch ups every morning, but now I have straight strands, I’m talking about BONE straight, and it was my first time straightening my hair
Octavia Eskridge I just straightened my hair a week ago and kept it straight, washed it rn and my curl pattern is so different know 😭😭I was literally a 3b now my hair is like a damaged 3a/2c and I recently did the big chop a couple of months back and my hit was doing fine😭I’m honestly never going to straighten my hair again
love love your channel!!! poised, knowledgeable, and HAIR!!!!!!
Thanks Jasmine
I always wondered why every time I washed my hair, no matter which shampoo/conditioner I used, it continued to look frizzy. I had many angry moments when I was in the verge of cutting off all of my hair. People in my class kept telling me to straighten my hair so I did and I just made it worse. I used to have curly hair as a toddler and my mum wondered whether it was trying to come back, we started doing thing differently (air drying, using natural product, etc) and my hair went curly! I got so many complements about how nice my hair looked and I felt so happy with how I looked!
Good for you!
when she started tellin' the truth THAT is when I subscribed...
Girl thank you 4 the #TRUTHBETOLD!
Oh my God, I reverted my hair from heat damage with loose curls (not bone straight) and I stayed away from heat for about 6 months. I got my hair flat ironed to get my hair trimmed and I washed my hair and some of the heat damage is back 🥺
Subscribing and I’m only 5 seconds in after the “hey y’all” that was too cute 😭
Just realize today my hair had heat damage bad , I would get blowouts and then have them flat iron it just to get it super straight. When try to give myself a wash and go I kept realizing my roots were so curly but ends bone straight. I had to google and finally realized wow . I have heat damage. Starting away from the heat now, are protective styles ok?
Great video!! I found a really great stylist she flat ironed my hair and layered it so beautifully for the first time after I big chopped and my curls bounced back every time!! She said if you go beyond a certain temperature the bonds break down and the hair goes straight. A few months ago I asked her to turn up the heat and sure enough the majority of my hair went straight. Once she turned the temp back down my new growth had no problem reverting so it’s safe to say you have to get salon professional advice and stay in the safe zone temperatures when straightening especially if you have finer hair ...I won’t let anybody touch my hair but her lol.
I feel that!
thank you this is very educational, I needed to hear this.
Well I have my answer and now to the solutions. One silk press caused. First wash after silk press and I smelled that sickening burnt smell, 2nd week after I knew what I thought it was, did acv rinse, protein treatment, dc/hot oil treatment, the smell is gone but so are my curls. I twisted it and my twist are limp and my hair looks permed from the root down. Thanks for the very informative video, now it’s time face reality and try and get it back healthy. My hair was at its longest and the healthiest it has ever been and now I will be trimming and doing protective styles, damage is from the root down with little waves.
I definitely stay away from heat. I don't believe your hair can revert back, that is wishful thinking for sure. Great tips! 💯💐😃🤗🌸😁🌻😀💜🌴🌷👍
Agreed!
Makes sense!! You kept it real.
Your hair looks lovely. I have heat damage but I still wanna get my hair flat-ironed (by a professional), colour it and do some more damage. When I'm done, I'll big chop for the 2nd time. Lol. Lol!
LOL at least you're honest with yourself
I believe the yters that say they reverted their heat damage do so to get more views. Thanks for keeping it real👍
Facts
I legit born out my hair once and the ends of my hair became loosely curl to straight. It was not that much but I was tempted to cry. I'm not touching heat ever again.
Heat can be the devil. I am sorry that happened to you.
I have flat ironed my hair twice in my whole entire life and did it again for the third time and my hair is now heat damaged and I’m extremely mad and I have thick strands of hair
My hair is where your hair was but I have 3 inches of natural. I’m choosing to transition and focusing on moisture. I twist with moisture every other day and pull it into a chignon. Everyone loves it, but I can’t wait to get my curls back. I know now that I can’t straighten by myself. Funny that I never got heat damage this badly as a little girl with a hot comb and some grease.
Ain't it crazy?
Finally shoulder length hair after 1 year of converting from perm to natural. i decided to get a silk press from a salon nearby. My hair smell of burnt fabric the entire time. I washed it and still smell the same. Im upset as this was major journey for me, but back to perms that way I can manage my hair better and it grows faster.
this is me right now and I was sad.
I went for a trim and didn't mind getting it straightened since I wasn't prone to damage.
She did a blow out and straighten.
Now I forgotten that I have bleach and colored but healthy hair over all.
I deep conditioned for the last few weeks to help and that has done something what ever straight at roots pieces I have seen ...I cut it off xD I'm getting braids this month too. and won't color my hair for a while and a wig.
xD
Good luck on your journey!
Thank you very and lol I just watched your video but I appreciate the tips that you gave in this video. I'm trying to get ma hair curly for at least five months but nothing was working so after watching your video I think your tips can help me get my hair to the way I wanted it to be
Thank you for this information I so needed to hear this 🥰
You are welcome!
I know im 4 years late but i love this. My hair is damaged so baaaaad , I have 8 inches of damaged hair. I'm not willing to cut my hair but I started with a Alphogee protein treatment and deep conditioner. Alphogee protein every 6 weeks along with deep conditioning every week and cut my ends as needed. I'm just going to transition as you said furthermore I love your infomation on this topic. I messed around and went to the Dominicans and their heat is pass the scale. I learned my lesson.
Is it better now? I'm dealing with the same thing☹️
Your information was gold.. i did a silk press and my hair elasticity was gone..i was so dissapointed..my ignorance cost me..it was stringy and weak. I recently did a big chop for the 2nd time yesterday. It still has some straight pieces in-between..will do as you mentioned..deep condition and protein treatment..with time hopefully it comes around to my once healthy gorgeous hair..
🙏🏾🙏🏾
My ISsue as well too straight pieces in between but overall look a lot better and puff feels thicker I’ll just continue with protein treatment weekly and deep conditioning
As someone who has permanent damage and can never grow healthy natural 4c hair, I flat ironed my hair after showering; no heat protectant. I blow dried my hair on high heat every day. I bleached my hair with high volume... and colored it a lot. I threw my chance of having good natural hair away and I regret it deeply.
No hun don’t say that. Our naturals just take extra TCL. You can grow it. Feeding our hair is like feeding our bodies. Try a short natural style and maintain your deep conditioning and moisturizing.
Very informative. Thanks, had to trim inches yesterday from heat damage, mid back length. I was/a hurt. It was on my 3rd time getting flat ironed. 😢
I’m right there with you sis, just did a mini chop tonight, my puff looks a lot better still got straight pieces here and there but overall a lot better feels thicker already. I’m thankful i have some curl left and wasn’t a total lost cause. I’m deep conditioning and doing protein treatments weekly. We will get there. During the workweek protective styling. We got this.
This video was so helpful. and has pushed me to wear wigs when I want straight hair.
yesssss, for sure
New subscriber. I never had heat damage but just wanted the advice for future notice. Great advice though. You said you're from the Caribbean, girl where??!! Fellow Caribbean person.
Thanks for the advice sis. I got some work to do. I flat ironed a few weeks ago. I got mild damage I'm noticing. Lord help us all.
Sending good vibes on your journey
Ok, Guilty, I was in denial, until now. I’m not going to big chop, I’m going to transition. I’m nip length with 3 inches of thick luscious new growth and weird thin hair from 3 inch to my nip. I have a great regimen finally so my hair though heat damaged is very moisturized. Such a shame, I will never touch heat again. My goal was waist length, still is, once my hair reaches waist length, I’m gonna start trimming then til I reach that luscious hair. Thanks for this video, it got me out of denial and into acceptance and progressively doin what I gotta do and not make the same mistakes.
I’m sorry that happened to you but I wish you all the best as you transition ❤️
Hey girl, haven't seen you in a minute. Hope all is well with you. I don't use heat at all. I stretch my hair for two days after washing to keep heat out. Thanks.
Yup, I'm here. I need to be more consistent
When I was first transitioning my hair, I knew nothing about it. But like after 2 years my natural hair started to show more, but I had like one patch that was straight. And I still continued to flat iron after I took out protective styles to check how long it was.
Anywho, for some reason, that patch is curly like the rest of my hair now. Even though I still flat iron after my protective styles.
I know nothing about my hair honestly. That's why I keep it in protective styles, and I never trim because I know people can be scissor happy.
Good luck on your journey!
I've used a blow dryer a lot of times and there was never any problem from heat damage. I use it once a month and I have kinky hair. Is something wrong with me?
Yay! I've been waiting for your heat damage video update. Your hair definitely looks way curlier than before. Is that a wash n go?
Yup, it's a wash n go
I barely use heat (cut way back on that) and if I do I use a heat protectant and use heat tools on a low setting. I get quarterly trims. I cut all of the heat off and it has grown very quickly in the last ten and a half months.
My grandma flatironed my hair everdya when i was nine becasue she didnt like my naturaly curly puff. My 3c/4a hair was down to my butt when i was nine. Now im 13 and it barely touches my shoulders. I working on repairing my damaged hair by cutting my damaged parts off,using rice and pepperment essential oil water and treatments to help my hair.
Good for you!
Thank you for telling it like it is. I don't use heat on my hair, but if I did, I know that if it is bad enough, I would need to cut the damaged hair. Damaged hair whether from chemical or heat doesn't go back to natural hair.
Say that
I’ve seen so many UA-cam videos about how people reverted their heat damage.... but mine hasn’t gone anywhere no matter what I do lol so I digress.
Shay-La Simmons that’s what they think but it’s usually just from it growing while simultaneously breaking off so they believe it was repaired but in reality it wasn’t
My hair has been severely damaged from wearing it up in a bun and other type styles for many many years. I wish I knew how much damage I was causing it. Oh well, now time to heal
I’m soooo upset 😭 I just chopped about 8 inches of damaged hair off back in March. 3 weeks ago I got my hair straightened and I really think they put some form of relaxer in their products because my hair will not revert back. My ends are completely straight. Idk what to do because my hair looks so bad.
My hair just isn’t as curly as it was and there’s hair in the back of my head that is almost completely straight
try some protein treatments
I got heat damage from going to 2 hair stylist that wasn't my normal stylist. They burned my hair severely, thats what i get for being lazy. I cut off all the damage and now got my second install of braids. Im not pro no heat still. I will be blow drying my hair on a low setting and using pantene heat protectant.
Good luck!
Because my hair got heat damaged I bought a blow dryer with a cold setting so I did that
I straighten my 3 times a year and I use 3 things as mu holy grail...and no heat damage as of yet. And maybe mines insnt drastic enough to tell? All I know my hair is the longest its ever been and the perm was the culprit.
I straightened my hair for the first time in 2 years since my big chop and now I have the worst heat damage ever. Some of my hair is dead straight.... makes me want to shave it off ngl
thank you for this video it was very helpful :)
I'm a boy I used to blow-dry it on high heat all the time.
Now I have combination hair, for example on the tip-top and side of my head straight hairs grow out.
This means my afro will forever have a triangle shape😭😭
This video was very helpful. My hair is extremly curly at the roots, straight in the middle, and looser curls at the end. So, I'm wondering if I should big chop, or just weight out and trim as I go?
You have to do what’s best for you. There’s no bad decision
I’m trimming as I go
So happy I watched your video! Thanks for keeping it real!
Thanks for watching
Looks great!!
Thank youuuu
We have the same curl pattern !!
I used the hair mayo protein treatment/deep conditioner and it only reverted one side of my hair back to its curly state, so the other side is still straight. Idk what to do :/
Mines got all the way straight after a middle part sew in and it's like just that one part is straight and everything else is puffy and curly😓😓😓
yesss , is it curly now 😭 .?
I hate straight ends and sometimes, my hair don’t have curl at all. What should I do?
I cut most of my heat damage hair so will that make the journey easier to grow healthier hair and I will cut more when it grow out
Got a silk press for the first time and my entire hair has heat damage 🥺I’ve never gotten heat damage from blow drying my hair but I don’t wanna cut it 😩😩😩at least not yet I wanna see if I can grow it out first
I believe I found this video at the right time even though its 3 years old...I'm considering cutting mine right now..Mine was silk pressed last July without any heat protector applied..First time too..and of course I had heat damage...Is it too soon though?.Should I wait some more?
Very good video thank you !
omg thank you so much it was helpful alot but i have a q i have some heat damage im my hair and my hair id fine and thin i do my broten and my deep con and i want to to a protective hair style but am afride that it will break what should i do
Very informative thanks... Btw what do u recommend as a good protein treatment?
Aphogee has great products
So true that people see coily hair and they tend to handle it roughly when it should be the opposite. So tired of paying professionals only to have them rip and tear my hair.
so i silked pressed for the first damn time and damage. it isn’t straight. but my curl pattern has changed in some areas. imma start doing braids etc but usually have to blowout the hair a bit so it’s braided neat. i can’t avoid that heat now can i?
You can, just be careful
So what if i have heat damage but i continue to get silk press like ever 5-6 weeks would it make my hair fall out?
Hi boo😍,
looking beautiful as always. Can I ask where did you get the necklace in this video?
Thank you! bit.ly/2ttZm1U
I don’t know if my hair is heat damaged, when it’s wet there are much looser curls then when it dries, it is frizzy while the rest of my hair is also frizzy it is almost like I blow dried it. It gets curly everytime I wet it.
Frizz is inevitable
I got a quickweave for the first time In about a year or two . My hair was literally sizzling when the girl flat-ironed it . Now my leave out is heat damage. I’m so devastated.
Sorry to hear that!
@@SheReaDelSol Have you
tried the Two In One Protein Treatment by Aphogee? If so thoughts?
I have used heat my whole life I've neevr suffered any severe heat damage my hair always reverts back every single time and I wash and press my hair every two weeks with a hot comb and will style it with a flatiron.
Thats good!
hey, please can you help me . I actually have heat damage I don't know what to do . If must cut it or not cuz there are some of my hair where is naturel and others relax mostly the front. Please help me
what did you do cause now im in that situation
😞 I flat ironed my hair ONE TIME in over a year just washed my hair today and it’s not reverting! That’s never happened before! I’m stressed out 😰. My curls were perfect & now they’re gone. Heat was too high. During washing One side is bone straight the other side is waves. And I have coily 4c hair. I look like I’ve had yrs of heat damage when it’s only been one time this year. Trying to find a solution to fix it in 1-2 months, if not then I have to do a big chop for the first time. ☹️. I should’ve just gotten a wig if I wanted to switch it up so much. I miss my afro 😔. Hopefully protein treatment will help the process.
I’m so sorry that happened to you
SheRea DelSol thank you. It’s my own fault. Just trying to laugh about it to keep from crying. Looking for a hairstylist on the Style Seat app to start the recovery process. I’ve always done these on my own, but it’s time to see a professional.
Does anyone felt that after a heat damage the new hair is not like the one before? Please tips and help
You mentioned alternating between protein treatments and deep conditioning. I used Aphrogee protein treatment for the first time on my natural hair. I got heat damage a couple weeks ago. What do you use for your protein treatments? And how often? Every week or two weeks? I frequently deep condition my hair.
At the time I used aphogee two min reconstructor every other week
i use a diffuser on cool only. i didn't think it would help
