@@dee.b.2210 My hair is trained pretty well to stay straight so I don’t use any products for those first 2-3 weeks of getting a silk press after that I use my growth oil on my scalp and ends. I wrap my hair every night until it gets old then I just wear a loose pony with a satin scrunchy.
I don't straighten my hair, but I have pulled on it to see the length, and it is the same length as yours. It's nice to see how it'd look if I straightened mine. I believe the last time I got it straightened was about 3-4 years ago. Yours came out so nice.
I love your technique because you do what’s best for YOU! I used to be one of those natural nazis with myself, but I’ve been silk pressing for about 2 years now and I absolutely love my curl pattern now. Doing my hair is sooooo much easier.
Your hair is beautiful. I just started using Olaplex 0 and Olaplex 3, last week. Great tip to use water to spread it out. It is obviously working for you. Wow! Your hair looks like silk.
This is my first time seeing you. When you said you use this on your clients. I was like what? Clients what? You sitting up here looking like you are in high school. You have a new sub...your hair turned out really pretty.
I should try it out, we have pretty similar hair type and density. Btw i found that the heated brushes really aid in easily smoothing sections before flatironing.
Don't mind me, just mentally preparing to take out my braids & have to detangle my hair again after three months. My hair is very similar to yours in texture, density & length. Excited to straighten & trim it but I'm not excited to dodge rain, wrap it several times before a shower & hear people ask "is that a wig?" Beautiful results! You're also gorgeous 😊
Im obsessed with your channel! Hope you see this since its an older video. Do you use protein treatments? Im high porosity and I want to start heat training. Want to incorporate more bond builders and im currently using curlsmith bond salve biweekly. Would you recommend more protein than just that product?? Thanks!
I Would really love to hear your thoughts on the color wow heat protectant spray for doing a silk press. 🙏🏾 Your hair looks beautiful and your videos are really helping me create a routine for my first silk press in 5 years.
I want to try this product I never straighten my hair due to fear of heat damage but this product looks great if you use it right you got great results ❤️ I wish you were in Texas😀
I love straightening my hair and am scared of heat damage. Can you make a video talking about how you avoid heat damage and what's the difference between a ceramic flat iron and a titanium flat iron?
Hi! New subbie! Would you recommend titanium flat irons for heat trained naturals? I would say my hair is in between fine and medium and seems to be prone to breakage. I started using Olaplex to help prevent further damage. I want to flat iron my hair every two weeks and I hear mixed reviews about titanium irons. Thank you!
She recommended using ceramic flat iron over titanium if you’re not a professional or have a good knowledge on how to use the titanium one as those tend to increase the chance of getting heat damage
Omg I just got a silk press and I bought #3 and didn’t know anything about the others. I might get some of the other products now. Thank you! Do you use Olaplex before and after straightening?
Yes please get the others I mentioned in the video and leave them on for the same amount of time! It’s 3x more effective if you use #0 before #3. And I typically like to use olaplex after I straighten.
YOURE HAIR LOOKS SO GOOD💗 i have a question. Whenever i try to get my hair this straight , it always immediately frizzes up. What are some suggestions to combat that? Should i sit in a cooler area?
Hey, it can be for many reasons. I mostly see it’s because people don’t get trims often. Having a lot of split ends can cause hair to frizz up, could also be because the hair is dry and deprived of moisture or you have active sweat glands or the hair is not heat trained. These are some of the reasons this could be why it’s happening.
How often should one use the 0 and 3 together. I used #3 in the past but I believe I overdid it and it led to breakage. I'd love to start over and do it the correct way.
I just started following you and I love your work. If you had to choose 5 top shampoos & conditioner as well as heat protection products which ones would you recommend?
I really like olaplex shampoo and hair mask, Aveda cherry almond shampoo and conditioner and briogeo matcha green tea conditioner and shampoo. Those are my top favs.
@@ravenmorgan8109 ohhh for silk presses I would recommend the olaplex shampoo and hair mask but use a detox shampoo like Paul Mitchell first. The other two products I mentioned are good for when you want to wear curly styles.
I BELIEVE!🤩 You got it figured out for sure. After seeing coils in your hair as your hair reverted. Woooo that not easy like at all. I need to soak up this knowledge. New Subbie!
@@Toya123 try using a scalp scrub once a month to remove any products and dead skin cells. I like briogeo scrub. Wash your hair once a week and don’t use any heavy oils or grease.
I know I’m super late seeing this video, but do you have any recommendations for dry brittle crown area hair?, I find that my crown is always dry and more kinky than the rest of my hair
Everytime I straighten my hair it always looks like it's still blowed dryed( puffy) , I don't know if I'm not blow drying Long enough or if I'm straightening my hair wrong.i need help (my profile pic is when I got my hair done on September 6th 2021 , I went to the Dominicans) that's how I want my hair to look like when I straighten it but I dosent work when I do it ? I need answers
So for me I’ve been natural for about 6 yrs my issue is maintaining a regimen for summer months vs winter im here in buffalo ny and the winter is the best for straight and the summer is just amazing for my natural curly hair. Now given I only silk press maybe twice n the winter and let them last about 2-4 weeks so I can cleanse but that heat damage oweee maybe I need olaplex ? Just do explensivemdo u feel it’s worth it
I straightened my hair only once a month and still got heat damage ☹️ what’s the secret to you pressing it every two weeks and still able to maintain your curl pattern ?
I have a video up explaining how I did it. It’s my second to last video. Was your hair healthy before using heat? And did you use ceramic tools on low heat?
If the curls aren't getting looser, It means ur hair isn't damaged yet. Anything that alter ur natural curls causes damage in the long run. The looser it get, damaged it become. Slowly but gradually
@@lovelyhope2664 yes this is partially true. If you don’t keep up with your treatments and don’t give yourself breaks, it will become damaged over time. But you can also reform the bonds in the hair and still receive no damage.
Where did you get the 4 in 1 moisture mask, I had to rewind to make sure that’s what I saw 😄 I need that, I see all the other products. I don’t see it on their site or Sephora. Or is it like the #1 and can only be sold to professionals 🤔
Yeah me too I was like 4in1 where is that! Haha aww man. I want to heat training my hair. This is your 1st video I've seen so i will be binging on your channel
I wouldn’t get trims in sooner I would say 8 to 12 weeks depending on your hair and , make sure they only remove bare minimum otherwise you won’t see any growth.
i don’t know what i’m doing wrong, i blowdried my hair using revlon then straightened it at 200°c and my hair still looked all big and blow dried but with flatter roots, i wanted more of a straight look but idk what i’m doing wrong. i put it at 220°c but i thought it was too hot i was so scared of burning my scalp helppp my mom said that overtime it will be easier to get straight but idk i do have very thick hair though
Hello !my hair used to always straighten really good with little to no products. I’ve been natural all my life until I mistakenly put a keratin straightening treatment in it which damaged my curls . My curls were gone and I had to regain my coiled curly texture(I’ll say about 3 yrs after the incident). Since then , when I try to do silk presses at home like I used to , it does not straighten the same . It looks like a grandma press . I even use the same type of flatiron you used in your video here and the hair just does not seem to get silky like it used to . What do you suggest I do ? Or what products should I be using ? I Have 3c4a type hair.
If it’s been 3 years you may still have the keratin treatment on your hair towards the mid shaft and ends depending on how long your hair is. Also, if you have gained a lot of split ends during those 3 years it’ll make your hair appear frizzy, dry and dull. Have you gotten trims and treatment during those 3 years?
Hi! how do you prevent the burnt hair smell when flat ironing it on high heat? I use heat protectants and make sure that my hair is completely dry but it still happens
Beautiful Hair… I have been trying to grow my hair out i have fine thin natural hair my dilemma is I always get a gap in my hair whenever i get a little length the hair that lays on my shoulders is always long where as the hair in the middle(nape area) is extremely shorter. I do wear sock buns often which I believe one of the issues but I have cut my hair even about 4 times and no matter what it always grows with the gap in the back. Is their anything I can do to get it to grow full and even I’m tired of growing it and then cutting? I asked my stylist and she just said my hair probably grows slower in that area which is a possibility but I don’t think that the main issue I’m not sure what to do please help… Thank you!
Hey, typical when I see this it’s because of buns and ponytails. I would stay away from any ponytail or bun for a while. If you do want to wear one use a silk scrunchy and have it very loose.
Hi, thank you. The hair growth oil will be back in stock next month and the other products will be available within the next 2 months. I’ll make a post on here and my Instagram.
Great video Queen. I just relaxed my hair after being natural for 5 yrs I just made a video on my relaxed hair journey on my channel. Keep up the good work 💕

Hey, I keep my hair on a consistent routine and use my hair growth oil. You can see my growth on my product Instagram page.
Thank you so much
How long did it take you to get more heat trained, I am trying to see if I can commit to this because I really want your result or something similar?
In my opinion, you are more beautiful when you wear your hair curly than when silk pressed. You should wear your hair curly more often.
If I had to choose between a paddle brush and a denman brush for blow drying, which would be the better option for textured or 4c hair?
I've always struggled with silk pressing. I'll raise my temp from 420 to 430. I have a ceramic flat iron.
Have you tried K18 yet instead of Olaplex? Thanks. 💕

Don’t use the revlon dryer before straightening. It won’t give a proper blowout for a silk press
Are you saying you don’t wash your hair for a month? How do you keep it from smelling and from reverting?
Yes about a month but I don’t do this often. I don’t sweat a lot and my hair is trained so I don’t have a problem with it reverting.
