@@naturalnadineeaiiii no! I love me some sun ☀️ I’ll have to pass hahahaha by the way the tip on the silicons as a heat protectant is much appreciated. I wanted to get the revair but too scared to use it. In my mind I will get heat damage and splits/knot ends 😅so if I get brave enough the Dominican silicons will be used as you suggested😉
😩 finally putting in effort for my hair it’s always been long but I only washed it every month or two and I didn’t condition good. Thankfully it’s healthier now after a proper routine!
Hiya! Love alllll the videos - I am a recent straight natural after having curls for 7+ years! Your videos are fab - Can we get a Gym hair routine video? And an updated night routine ? Keep up the great work xx
Im Watching all your curly videos and your advice is top tier. I love to flat iron at the beginning of each season. Will be implementing your tips accordingly! Thank you corazon 😘
Please can you do a video on how much and how you apply the silicone mix, how you actually wear your hair thru the day and how you wear it at nighttime?
Do you lather twice when you shampoo? Also, I'm with you on the clarifying thing. At one point I went crazy with it and even chelating 😮 and my hair was horrible! I never clarified back in the day and my hair and scalp were just fine.
Yes twice sometimes 3 times! && Yeahh I gave up on them even though I use a lot of silicones I find my shampoo lathered twice does the job! I’d rather double cleanse than use a harsh shampoo xx
Hi Nadine, thanks for your tips! So I’m starting out as a heat trained natural now. My only thing is I love the sauna and want to be able to go there like once a week. I wonder if I would have to start from scratch after visiting the sauna or does it get to a point where you are heat trained enough that you can simply put the hair in a bun at night? Sorry for the long winded question
Hey girl my gym has a sauna too I go in 1/2 times a week! I find because the sauna is DRY heat it’s fine just tie your hair up and wear a sweat band and make sure you dry your hair quickly after. I don’t use the steam room unless im washing my hair within a week or so because it’s wet heat && yes most nights I don’t do a traditional wrap I just either bun or tie my hair up I haven’t found my favourite way of sleeping at night yet xxx
Love your videos! Curious, do you experience a lot of shedding after a few weeks because of the roots texture over that time? If so, what do you do to deal with it?
How do you maintain it in summertime when it's humid outside? How often do you straighten it? I'm thinking of becoming a straight hair natural like my sister that has waist length hair as a straight hair natural. Your hair is beautiful.
May we get a video about gelatin and it's research for curls and follicle? I learned that it may nourish follicle and whatnot, but curious to know the deep info about this. :)
Thanks for the video and the tips. Just wondering if you ever use a wide tooth comb in the mornings too, your hair? Also I love the tangle teaser but I only use it in the shower when I'm detangling my hair because I go between wash and goes and silk presses during the year.
Based on the pics you presented and the time frame you also mentioned, your hair has grown more than 6 inches in much less than a year. There's no way my hair can grow THAT fast.
But how do you know the silicone are being washed out proper if you don't use a clarifying shampoo? I wanna try heat styling more, but like you, I don't trust oil heat protectants at all. But I've been sold the idea that silicone don't wash out easy at all, and my main shampoo right now is(unbeknownst to me at the time of purchase) sulfate free. So now I'm worried the silicones won't come out if I use them for my blow outs😅
Hey girl! In short it’s a common misconception that you need sulfate to wash out silicones I go into more detail in this video ua-cam.com/video/Da-EIss-Vec/v-deo.htmlsi=6kdAjSkPDZXguXJH But to summarise shampoos contain other surfactants that can break down silicones effectively sulfates are more effective at removing oils than silicones hence why they’re common in dish soaps and other soaps. Silicones also break down themselves over time. As long as you are using a shampoo (not a co wash or cleansing conditioner) and lather well it will effectively remove silicones xx
Hi. Do you ever have issues with little pieces breaking off the ends when you comb or brush your hair? I have struggled with this forever. I’ve tried regular trims, moisture, protein, oil, 18 different brushes… Just wondering if you encounter this at all.
Hey , yes on occasion but nothing ever been too drastically noticeable for me 😩 do your ends get thin really quickly ? (Less than 6 months after a trim?)
I had that same problem! I realized that I had protein overload. I stopped using every product that has protein. I now use the Shea moisture manuka honey (main focus is hydrating the hair) I am trying to find a balance between the two
Well is there anyway you could switch up styles in between maybe blowout one week and straight hair the next? I think fortnightly is okay but weekly is a lot of heat imo (not impossible tho)!xxx
Hey girl no sulfate I believe and yes I pre poo wil oil but I don’t go crazy just a few drops to coat the hair and I use Jojoba which is very light and easy to wash out xx
Hey, is there a heat protectant that can be used after blow drying and before straightening, that also doesn’t contain water? The only ones I know are the oil based ones like that bonding oil. Which heat protectants are silicone based?
Girl your accent is awesome!!! About to spend the summer in the UK just for it 🤣🤣🤣 great video once again and your hair looks flawless 💎
Haha thanks girl & haha come through there’s not much of a summer here tho 😭😭

@@l39456l haha probably a good shout! & hope you take the plunge! One silky blowout can’t hurt too much xx
my issue with my scalp is after about 5 days it smells bad because of working out. Thank you for all the great information!!
😩 finally putting in effort for my hair it’s always been long but I only washed it every month or two and I didn’t condition good. Thankfully it’s healthier now after a proper routine!

Could you show us a week in your hair please? Thank you ❤️

Thank you sistaa there’s nothing like a good silk press to kick it off, it’s gonna look bomb!xx
Please can you do a video on how much and how you apply the silicone mix, how you actually wear your hair thru the day and how you wear it at nighttime?
Hii, I love your channel! Can you do a comparison between Olaplex no.0 or no.3 and the K18 repair hair mask? 😊
Do you lather twice when you shampoo?
Also, I'm with you on the clarifying thing. At one point I went crazy with it and even chelating 😮 and my hair was horrible! I never clarified back in the day and my hair and scalp were just fine.

@@naturalnadineedoes your shampoo have sulfates or is it sulfate free?
Loving the hair videos 🥰
Could watch you all day!
What is your hair goal if I may ask?
Thank you girl! && I don’t really have one tbh I’ve been kinda vibesing I’m definitely focusing more on length retention tho xx

Thanks for your reply! I love that we don’t have to avoid the sauna! ❤
Your videos are so informative! I was wondering have you ever considered a Keratin treatment to keep hair straight for longer?
Love your videos! Curious, do you experience a lot of shedding after a few weeks because of the roots texture over that time? If so, what do you do to deal with it?
No tbh I don’t because I was scary my roots don’t really go out of control xx

Hey girl xx Not as much! But they are also a good option for more gentle detangling than styling brushes xxx
Hiii how do you maintain your silk press in warmer temperatures?
Please try the wow heat protecting spray! It really does work and my hair lasts longer when it’s humid or even a light rain

Hi I'm new to your channel , do you have a video of the process of straightening your hair?
I don't understand oil heat protectants either . 😐
Like?? Can’t trick me pls xx
Can you do a wash day video?
Have you shown us what products with silicones you use?
Hi. Do you ever have issues with little pieces breaking off the ends when you comb or brush your hair? I have struggled with this forever. I’ve tried regular trims, moisture, protein, oil, 18 different brushes… Just wondering if you encounter this at all.
Hey , yes on occasion but nothing ever been too drastically noticeable for me 😩 do your ends get thin really quickly ? (Less than 6 months after a trim?)
@@naturalnadineeyes. This last trim, it was evident at two months to me that I needed a trim. I was starting to “see-through” the ends.
I had that same problem! I realized that I had protein overload. I stopped using every product that has protein. I now use the Shea moisture manuka honey (main focus is hydrating the hair) I am trying to find a balance between the two
Do you not need to clarify out the silicon used in the silicon mix?
I have a hard time straightening my hair at the ends. Feels like I'm going to burn myself
What heat protectant do you use?
I recently got heat damage at random chunks of my hair, is it possible for me to heat train, knowing that i have to wash my hair weekly
Well is there anyway you could switch up styles in between maybe blowout one week and straight hair the next? I think fortnightly is okay but weekly is a lot of heat imo (not impossible tho)!xxx
@@naturalnadineethank you so much for the advice ❤❤🎉
Does your shampoo have sulfates or is it sulfate free? Do you pre poo with oil before shampoo?
Hey girl no sulfate I believe and yes I pre poo wil oil but I don’t go crazy just a few drops to coat the hair and I use Jojoba which is very light and easy to wash out xx
@@naturalnadinee Thanks so much. You are so helpful and I appreciate you for making videos and replying. You help me out a lot. 💗
Hey, is there a heat protectant that can be used after blow drying and before straightening, that also doesn’t contain water? The only ones I know are the oil based ones like that bonding oil. Which heat protectants are silicone based?
Keracare thermal wonder! Can be used after blow drying and won’t wet/revert hair when you apply xxx
@@naturalnadineethank you. I find your videos very helpful.
