The thing that keeps my mind going for a loop is Black women will swoon over a “silk press” but frown on a wash n go or twist out…. I hear all the time “i ain’t got time for all dat” I’m like a silk press takes me literally all day
I think both are good except you must know the right products that work with a wash n go. It will tangle and get dry just like if you don’t use a good heat protectant for straightening hair (more split ends).
Couldn't pay me to go back to the creamy crack. I'm a wash and go girl, but I've decided to do blowouts once every few months. I'm on my 3rd blowout for the year. Purchased the RevAir on sale for Juneteenth. It's a game changer!
yep!! the only thing i don’t like about a lot of straight hair naturals is the texturism and dishonesty. i also don’t believe in “heat training”😭 it’s just glorified heat damage. and if they don’t mind their hair being heat damaged then they should just call a spade a spade instead of trying to pass it off as something else. i’ve also noticed a lot of straight hair naturals claiming that back to back silk presses are actually healthier than wearing in natural hair styles like wash and gos, twist outs, etc. which is just ridiculous cuz we all know the effects of heat + tension on hair especially when it’s continuous with no breaks in btw.
Hey girl! I’m glad you made this video sis because I agreed with everything you said. I’ve been seeing a lot of trends of “straight naturals” going back to relaxers and heat training. Which in my opinion I don’t believe that you can truly have healthy hair when it’s been compromised by chemicals and heat. But to my knowledge that term heat trained is coming from these salons and certain stylists are saying that now they’ve seen more naturals getting their hair damaged from air drying their hair than using heat from a blow dryer. Which is something I don’t believe to be accurate. But then I’ve also seen recently some cosmetologist say that wash n gos cause breakage for 4c hair and they are not sustainable. So I think in all that things have changed in the nhc and became very toxic. An I think we are going to see more people doing what they want to do with their hair for a minute and I’m here for it. I just know that I personally won’t put heat or chemicals on my hair and I understand that everyone is different and has to enjoy the process of loving your natural hair. I remember when I experimented on my hair and probably destroy the integrity of my hair in high school and college😂. I had fun doing different colors and styles. Now I’m pretty boring and have waist length hair but I’m confident about my hair now and I wouldn’t change anything about it now that I’ve learned to love it during these past 12 years lol
How it got toxic was people trying to police who was a 'true' natural. The Natural Hair Movement was created by Black women who decided to wear their natural texture after years of wearing relaxers and wigs due to societal displeasure. People felt girls (particularly lighter complected girls) who fully embraced their curls (after years of straightening or relaxing as well) were hijacking the movement because they became the face for a lot of brands who were marketing their products towards curly/natural hair people. In addition to that, people started to curl type which caused a further divide among people. There were either those who mistakenly claimed a curl type and were told off and then there were those who purposely titled their videos with a particular curl pattern (ranging closer to type 4 since many type 4 girlies wanted to see representation) that they clearly didn't have in order to get more views. The confusion around curl type caused some people to self-hate and/or heavily critique their hair, wondering why their hair couldn't perform the way the influencer's hair did with the same products. The curl typing as well as the self-loathing from tighter curled girlies (typically 4c) are the two that annoy me the most. I just feel like you have to learn your hair (plenty videos available to do that), do what is best for your hair that allows it to thrive, and not care what ANYBODY has to say. If anybody wants more representation and there's no one, sometimes you have to be the representation. Natural hair is beautiful any and everywhere. Every setting whether elite or not is perfect for natural hair (e.g school, wedding/dinner, work, a date). Folks just need to keep it simple and learn their hair if they choose to rock their natural hair. If all they knew was relaxers and straighteners, it is going to take some time to learn how to work with a different texture. Some curl patterns and textures are going to need a different approach and that is fine. Just have to find what is best for you and believe your hair is gorgeous especially when it is properly cared for ♥️
The curl typing was so people could find tutorials of people with a similar hair type to get an idea on what products worked for their hair. It got weird when people were specifically tagging 4c hair when their hair obviously was not. Because 4c hair seems to be the most searched tag so people just wanted to be on the algorithm
@@Giggles50 I agree. It was just meant to be a harmless identification of curls. But then ppl got obsessed, so much so where curl patterns were starting to be favored over others in a very negative way and where others were starting to argue over who is a true [insert curl pattern]. Indeed it started to create a division instead of having appreciation for all curl patterns.
@@Giggles50 texturism already existed before curl typing though. And certain products and techniques work for different hair types. Like a wavy haired girl would learn to scrunch her hair to get defined curls while a type 3 haired girl might learn to shingle and a type 4 hair girl would learn to finger coil. You can't say hair typing didn't help or served no purpose. That's just false.
i hate the “4c could never” thing. it’s texturists and just feeds into the already prominent negative stereotypes and self hate associated with natural hair and tighter textures
Creamy crack also causes fibroids, cystic acne, and severe skin/ follicle burns smh very concerning plus half of these hair companies aren’t black owned so who knows what’s in it fr
Girl I don’t believe in heat training too.
Same 🙊
Heat training is better than relaxer! No chemicals just heat. People have different methods and style choices.
Your hair looks bomb af. Heavy on the bomb af.
Aww thank you 🫶🏾🫶🏾

I don’t even understand the disdain for it…

Curl typing leads to texturism though. It ends up being negative in the end. Why do you need a number to describe it? It’s weird!
