*NO JUDGEMENT!* 🩷 If you, like lots of women, grew up with Mom, Grandma, or Auntie doing your hair at home or being taken to the salon, and continued relying on beauticians as an adult, it makes sense that you wouldn’t really know your hair or how to maintain, cut, and style it.
Out of frustration, my mom chopped off my and my sister’s hair when I was in first grade and my sister in Kindergarten. She left us with short Afros that we were responsible for taking care of. Every year or so, she trimmed our ‘Fros with clippers. Aside from that, washing and combing was up to us. My sister, to this day, never really connected with her hair. I, on the other hand, did, and helped her care for hers. The summer before starting 5th grade, I’d gotten my hands on a hot comb and taught myself to press my hair. My friend’s mom had pressed it once when I was in 4th grade and I paid close attention to what she was doing. As an adult, I’ve had stints here and there when I went to the salon somewhat regularly, but health-wise, it did more harm than good. For the most part, I did my own hair and even taught myself to cut it. I’ve worn pixies, bobs, and layered cuts, all done and maintained by yours truly. I taught myself to use marcel irons and everything. But I didn’t really learn what my hair needed for optimal health and length retention until I started a hair journey in 2016. I learned everything I know from UA-cam, Google, and logic. Now, my hair is denser than it has been in years and 4-5 times longer than it has ever been in my life. ❤
Lol this girl in high school way back when, brought her flat iron to gym and tried to flat iron her hair between changing out of gym clothes and before the next bell. I swear she passed over her one section of hair 20 times. Had the locker room smoking!!!!! I was like damn! I didn't know you could set a flat iron to "depths of hell"!
@@GetGlamFamcan you please teach us how to do this on ourselves? I don't have the desire to do others hair, I just want tips and techniques on how to do my own hair.
His flat iron technique is SPOT ON. I do a few things differently: 1) Instead of “tapping” my roots with the flat iron, I press my roots, nape, and edges with a traditional (non-electric) hot comb one small section at a time. A mini hot comb is great for snatching short, tiny perimeter hairs. I think using a hot comb in this way creates a more finished look. If you don’t know how to gauge the temperature on an old-school pressing comb, an electric one will do fine. Many of them have temperature gauges now. 2) I then divide those sections into TINY sub-sections, even smaller than those in this video, and flat iron them. The smaller the sections the greater the chance of direct heat getting to each strand of hair. This allows for silky-straight results at a lower temperature. 3) Since the chase method requires so much dexterity, I attach a self-adhesive heat-resistant comb to my flat iron which leaves me with a free hand. 4) I wear heat-resistant forefinger and thumb covers (or heat-resistant glove) on my free hand and lightly pinch the tip of the flat iron during each pass. This helps me get a tighter squeeze with the iron and a smoother result. 5) Like demonstrated in this video, I make very slow passes in a downward motion. One pass is all that’s necessary. But I don’t go so slow as to leave the iron in one place too long and potentially burn my hair. Personally, I never add more heat by creating curls with a curling iron once I’ve flat ironed my hair. I will either wrap my hair or pin curl it. ❤
Yes yes, more tutorials like this lol. Also, I will bring down my heat to 360, you know I have been convinced my hair wouldn't go flat at a lower level I think it's just from trying to do it all in a hurry, but, I'll section with fewer pieces. you just gave me something to do for an hour lol I just washed and blow-dried my hair this mo'nin as always THANKS A BUNCH! GREAT TUTORIAL!
I’ve blow tried my hair years ago and switched to roller sets because blow drying was frizzy after 15 min. I thought the curling iron was not hot enough and refused to go hotter☺️Thank you for this tutorial. Now 20 years later I understand my errors. I might try blow drying once again. You’re an amazing instructor.
Would you ever consider a video on hygiene with hair tools and things to look out for in salons? I've been wondering what's the best ways to clean brushes, combs and hot tools like blow dryer brushes when dealing with scalp yeast infections/dandruff. I currently just clean them with an anti dandruff shampoo but idk if thats enough. I haven't figured out what to do with revair though
Linwood‼️‼️‼️You sir are the ABSOLUTE BEST 💯🙏🏾❤️ This tutorial was so informative and NOW I know what I was doing wrong for years. *Your style of teaching is stellar and straight forward.* You've just saved ALOT of people from heat damage and overuse of product.
@@GetGlamFam Thank you! Though I’m still watching … I’m amazed!!! Bravo 🙌 quick question? Where is a video that shows how to section and trim FOR BEGINNERS… thank you in advance
Absolutely! I have a full video that does just that to help you determine what is best for your hair. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/sq0vwsTX4lw/v-deo.htmlsi=K0rr9jf2g8ObFxUY
Thank you for this video. I needed this I have struggled with flat ironing my hair for years. I don't know if you have already done this video but could you please show how to wrap hair properly to maintain a silk press.
I’ve been on a journey of learning to properly take care of my natural hair. So the couple of times in a year that I might need to blow dry and flat iron it, it helps to know the proper techniques. I’d hate to have come this far to turn around and re-damage it with heat. I truly appreciate your hair care tips. I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you 😊
I've never seen a more descriptive tutorial than yours on youtube!!! Looking forward to watching them all for some great tips. Thank you for your time and content!
Hi Linwood, I too am guilty of using my flat iron the wrong way. After, watching your video, I now will do better. They say, “when we know better, we do better.” Luv yo❤u
You are so on time. I recently had knee replacement surgery. I have been doing my impression of Ciely with these braids. I have taken this time to do some deep conditioning while my hair is resting and waiting for meds to exit my system. By the end of July, I'm going to flat iron my hair and return to normal ( thanks for the flat iron suggestion, I've been searching for a good one). This technique will be followed to the minute. Thank you Linwood, you always come through when needed.
I swear you read my mind. I was going to ask you to do a flat iron video but I didn't get around to it. I always end up doing a hundred passes. But I'm trying to get rid of the indentation I cause in the process of trying to bend the hair. I'm going to try taking the flat iron straight down just as you did. Thanks Linwood for posting this! Sorry if I spelled it wrong.
@getglamfam thank youuu. I was wondering why my hair was not giving the silk press look but everything you just showed me taught me that I was doing nothing more than drying and frying my hair.
Well I will echo what quite a few people said: -Thank you. My technique has been getting better. But this will bring it up a notch, esp. the part where you “flip your iron and pull down; and -yes, please do a demo with type 4 hair, 4C even better.
This video was very educative. I appreciate the teaching. Can you talk about best hair product, hair oil, hair spray, what to apply on your water curls to prevent it from drying during the day.
Thanks for the video, very helpful! I would love to see you make a video where you do it on wet to dry flat irons? And you give us your take on them. I hope that you have a blessed one 🤗.
Hey Linwood It's been a while! How are the girls? Hope all is well. Trying to play catch up with your videos. Anywhoo Thank you for teaching this technique. Traveling mercies to ya! Smooches!❤
I love your videos you are the best on you tube your always nice and explain and show us in real detail I can understand every word you say I love all your videos god bless you and thank you
OMG, you BEAUTIFUL being!! Thank you so much for the self flat ironing brush tip!! I struggle with coordination to get the desired sleekness when doing my own hair. I drop the comb and burn my fingers countless times. 😂😂😂
I'm determined to learn how to actually do my hair this year. I finally got my curls healthy and want to be able to do a silk press without having my hair fried, dyed and laid to the side lol.
Great tutorial, learned a lot. Would LOVE to see more . I would like to see how to make beach waves. Just a bend. I’ve been practicing, I just can’t get it. Any one out there that could give me a few tips 🌷😊
Thanks now I know to use smaller sections floating ironing my hair. The chase method takes practice. Can you do a update on curling your hair with a flat iron? Thanks
Thank you so much, I’ll definitely use it next time I’ll iron my hair ❤ just so you know the tip or technique you shared about steaming the wig was amazing, I love trying something that turns out exactly what it’s claimed to be I subscribed right away 🙏
Thank you for keeping us educated! You mentioned in your video you used no product with a 360 heat setting. I’m learning to straighten my hair at home winter season. Is it necessary to use heat protection sprays on anything between 360. to 420 ?
Absolutely! I love using that technique when flat ironing my own hair ( when it's longer because I am not about to flat iron this baby fro lol) Thanks for watching!
Even though my hair is short, I always appreciate a good flat iron technique video. Question though, how do you feel about the little comb attachment that is out that fits on the side of some flat irons? It appears to work well in the videos i have seen.
This was great! Thank you. Can you give a lesson on how to silk press 4B/4C (African American hair)? Also, I have difficulty using a comb with the flat iron when sulking /flat ironing my own hair. There is an awkwardness that does not happen when pressing someone else’s hair. Finally, how do we find the right heat protection products for my hair type? I have low porosity hair. I find I MUST perform hydration treatments biweekly for products to work properly. Thank you in advance for taking my question.
The Doux has a new line called Press play, every product in that line has heat protection built in. I am working on a video of me talking about the line now, it should be out soon. I can definitely do a silk press video, I'll add it to my list! Thanks for watching!
I literally just threw up my hands and got rid of my flat iron. Wish I had seen this first. Maybe, just maybe I can try again. Thank you for your helpful video.
Can u please do a tutorial on how to straighten hair from the back of head. I have a hard time. And what products do u recommend for people on a tight budget.
I would love to see a tutorial on natural type 4 hair from start to finish. Maybe I've been doing something wrong but my hair laughs at any temperature below 420. If I tried 360 it would be completely stiff with zero movement and also not really straight. Also this was done with no product but you recommended using a leave-in conditioner + heat protectant. How to avoid the stiffness and stickiness that can sometimes come with it???
This video tremendously helped me!! I definitely had the wrong technique! Could you do a video(if you haven’t already) on how to properly blow dry and flat ironing curly hair?
Hey!! 😊 So I have been natural for 4 years and I did my own "silk press" on my hair twice and it frizzed up after 2 hours . My daughter said it could be because my hair is not use to being straight. I think it's products or temperature. I need help. What can I do to keep it straight without frizzing up. By the way love your content 💕

How do you do this on your own head
What kind of flat iron did u use?
Titanium
Ceramic or tourmaline?
Thank you❤
I needed this video because as embarrassing as it is to admit I cannot flat iron my own hair at my big age of 41. Don't judge me 🤣🤣
Not embarrassing at all! You are a part of the majority there! That's why I make these videos 😊❤

*NO JUDGEMENT!* 🩷 If you, like lots of women, grew up with Mom, Grandma, or Auntie doing your hair at home or being taken to the salon, and continued relying on beauticians as an adult, it makes sense that you wouldn’t really know your hair or how to maintain, cut, and style it.
Out of frustration, my mom chopped off my and my sister’s hair when I was in first grade and my sister in Kindergarten. She left us with short Afros that we were responsible for taking care of. Every year or so, she trimmed our ‘Fros with clippers. Aside from that, washing and combing was up to us.
My sister, to this day, never really connected with her hair. I, on the other hand, did, and helped her care for hers.
The summer before starting 5th grade, I’d gotten my hands on a hot comb and taught myself to press my hair. My friend’s mom had pressed it once when I was in 4th grade and I paid close attention to what she was doing.
As an adult, I’ve had stints here and there when I went to the salon somewhat regularly, but health-wise, it did more harm than good. For the most part, I did my own hair and even taught myself to cut it. I’ve worn pixies, bobs, and layered cuts, all done and maintained by yours truly. I taught myself to use marcel irons and everything.
But I didn’t really learn what my hair needed for optimal health and length retention until I started a hair journey in 2016. I learned everything I know from UA-cam, Google, and logic. Now, my hair is denser than it has been in years and 4-5 times longer than it has ever been in my life. ❤

😂😂 sounds like me watching some of my students flat ironing their own hair!
Thank you so much for this much needed video. I do go to a professional, but I’m always interested in the proper techniques, and hair care. ❤
@@GetGlamFamcan you please teach us how to do this on ourselves? I don't have the desire to do others hair, I just want tips and techniques on how to do my own hair.
I wish I could flat iron my beard but I don’t have enough growth for that. I am 5’7 and I can’t say my character has had much of that either 🫠

Hey friend, where do you get the comb? That's what I need because my mind and hands don't work together with the chase method.
I would be grateful to know where you can get such a comb? It sounds like just what I need. Please tell us.
I've seen the combs that attach online at TEMU
. I c e seen the comb attachments sold online at TEMU
Glad you are doing a video after a while! I hope you are well.

Yes indeed! Thanks!
What?!?! HOW does that work!!! Teach us!!! 🙂↕️

I think it's products or temperature. I need help. What can I do to keep it straight without frizzing up. By the way love your content 💕
