For the past 3 to 4 years I've been wearing my hair in a stretched style. I blow dry my hair on a medium to low heat setting then blast with cool air. I put my hair in either flat twists or mini twists which last me 3 to 4 weeks at a time. I normally wait until December to straighten my hair with heat. It last for a whole month. Looking into investing in the revair reverse hair dryer to do more stretched styles since my hair is getting longer. I'm almost at waist length.
Speak that truth sis! I love being a straight natural because my hair is much thicker my hair was long when I had a relaxer but not as thick….also what I do is give my hair a “heat break” (for a month or two or even longer) so I don’t lose too much of my curl pattern
Yeah I feel like I couldn’t understand why people didn’t make their kids a straight natural instead of relaxed. Straight natural has only one difference in perception and it’s whether you call your hair “heat damaged” or “heat trained”. It takes the same amount of time, if not less, to wash and flat iron your hair compared to getting your roots touched up with relaxer. Like I was a straight natural basically my whole life and if you always wear your hair straight, it lowkey is easy to manage because your hair texture will loosen over time if that’s your main concern. It’s better than putting harsh chemicals in your hair and not being able to scratch your scalp, limit if you can dye it or go swimming. Like just make sure you have a good wash and deep conditioning routine with decent/great products and a good style routine like a good blow drying method and a good flat iron. Or go to someone you trust.
Yep my cousin was basically a straight natural. Her hair was long thick and beautiful even when she dyed it it was still healthy. Then she messed around and got a relaxer in college smfh 😢
Natural for many years then relaxed Oct '21 til my last retouch Aug '22. Either overprocessing or overlapping caused my hair to shed like crazy, new stylist said it was "melting". Anyway, not bald but she cut it cute retaining length mostly in the front, it's in a bob. She said my hair is too fine for relaxers (and low porosity), to simply heat-train my hair. And in her salon suite I've been getting steam unlike the other stylist, quality products and tools like Dyson etc. I'm grateful.
I was this close 🤏🏾 to relaxing my hair again and then this video popped up 😂 I’m gonna research this more before I make a decision but thank you for giving me another option that I didn’t think about!
Glad I found this video! Love seeing licensed professionals on UA-cam. I press my hair once a month but I wash after 2-3 weeks and wear my hair curly or in a protective style for about a week or two until the next month.
I agree to all these tips! My hair has been thriving, when i don’t do what u recommend i have my hair in braids or a non-extension protective style....literally the perfect regimen now that i incorporate straight hair. Thank u!
I'm trying to heat train my hair. I just got my first silk press two days ago and it's starting to frizz (probably due to the weather). Can you do a video on how you maintain your presses throughout the week; maybe different ways to style it? I think I want to put a little oil on it. I have flyaways like it needs to be weighed down.
It just came to me though! I could straighten my hair but not bone straight. I love body when it comes to straight hair. Maintain it for 3 weeks. Wash and treat every 2 weeks before the next straightening session in between. I'm hoping to do this all the way until March. This way I'm ensuring that my hair is getting a good treatment before I go back to wearing it straight each time.
I primarily wore my hair in twistouts and braidouts and silk pressed once or twice per year for Thanksgiving and Christmas but want to press my hair more (every 6-8 weeks). You posted this right one time ahead of the NIH saying chemical straighteners are linked to uterine cancer.
It has been refreshing to see people like you here. I feel like there’s such a small community for heat trained naturals and I was beginning to feel so lost! Do you have any recommended protein treatment?
There's no such thing as heat trained. You have permanently changed/damaged your natural curl pattern slowly instead of all at once like a relaxer does.
@@Liz-ic6jb that’s what heat training is: Changing/altering the pattern of your hair. I do it and my hair is waist length. It’s a form of damage (to the curl pattern) but your hair itself can still be thick, long and flourishing.
@@Virtuenow I agree. Once I started regular flat ironing, I surpassed my plateau. I was shoulder length for years and now I’m close to bra-strap length. 👍🏿
This is where I'm at I was straight natural for years then stopped after moving south. My curls tighten and I proudly was in my glory. Length makes it more difficult to deal with. I'm a new mom and have no time.
I think I’m about to become a straight natural. I have several different curl patterns and wearing wash and goes doesn’t work for me. Also, my curls tangle sooooooo badly it’s not even worth it. I think I may do more regular blow dried styles than presses tho. I do trim my hair 3+ times a year… as needed. You offered great advice. And seeing that this is more of a thing makes me feel better about doing it. I don’t like the idea of potentially changing my curl pattern… But like I said, it’s not the same throughout my head, so it’s not like I would ever just get to wear my natural curls anyway(not and be happy with it lol). Thanks again!
I also am a heat trained natural I mostly wear natural styles but im transitioning to wearing my hair straight the majority of the time. Wash n go's were tearing up my hair personally and I have multi textured hair its much easier to maintain in a blown out or straightened state. The only natural style I do is braid outs everything else is a no for my hair.
When you say use Olaplex 0 & 3 in between the standalone treatments, how often should we use the 0 & 3? Would the 0 & 3 be used weekly, biweekly, or monthly?
I have SD. so I have to wash weekly. I used to was and straighten my hair once a week. And my hair was growing and never flakey. But now I straighten bi weekly. I’m a blow dry natural for sure 😊
@@SimplyAvalon not at all. It was the wearing my hair wet when I was wearing it “natural”. I’ve NEVER had a perm so as a child I was mostly a blow dry natural. I’ve always had dandruff but the wearing of wet styles made it worse and it turn into SD. now it better so it’s dandruff again.
I live in Texas so I know what you mean. Beautiful textures has a reversible straightening system that will keep your hair straight in humidity. It's not permanent, it's just a shampoo and leave in that coats your hair to keep it straight. I also do ACV washes and it helps maintain moisture in my hair.
Maybe avoid any leave in products that contain glycerine. Stylers, leave in, etc. Make sure it doesn't have glycerine. And maybe try a better sealant if you're already using one. I'm natural but I learned that glycerine in products that I leave in my hair causes frizz. I'm sure it does the same for straightened hair.
@amroj Yes!! I don't use it anymore but it works really well in humidity! I straighten my hair every 2 months and it's almost tailbone length. I just use a heat protectant and clip my ends when needed.
I do low intensity cardio. I only use the workout machines with the fans attached and I wear a neck fan to prevent myself from sweating. I also pin my hair off my neck and face. Here’s the link to the neck fan. Check out this page from Shells Hair Store www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-db902265
The hardest part for me is keeping my hair straight when I take a short. I hate cutting my shower short due to being straight natural…:( I’m so co flirted between being straight natural and relaxed.
I am trying to transition from relaxer to straight natural and used a v part wigs after taking my braids downand waiting for my next braid appointment. My new growth (6 months post) reverted in 2 hours of Texas humidity. This is a constant thing and I feel so discouraged. What should I do?
What products do recommend using so that my hair does not look weighed down and on the stiffer side after flat ironing. I have low porosity and serum tend to work best for heat protection. It could be that I’m using too much because I can be heavy handed. Should I use it only before blow drying then flat iron without adding more or before and after blow drying then flat iron my hair?
Yes only add serum once before or after the blow dry. Whichever the instructions says. I prefer leave in conditioners and a thermal hair spray because serums make the hair greasy if you put them in right after the press.
my hair gets silky flat iron but still stiff, no matter how much or little product or heat setting, doesn’t flow at all. that’s the only reason i don’t do this
So I have low porosity 4c hair. Does heat training change the porosity of hair? If it does & I heat train during the winter months, should I use more high porosity products in the winter & more low porosity products in the summer?
Do you have any tips for someone trying to heat train but my scalp sweats which causes my roots to revert. I have your book and bought all the products your recommended and love them 👍🏾 thanks beauty
@@shelltalkshair I sweat year round because I workout. And I sweat a lot. What do you recommend for this? And I’m in the premenopausal stage with hot flashes and night sweats. I can’t win!
@@yvonnehoward7825 Keep hair wrap while working out and wear silk wrap hat (beanie looking hat with sateen on the inside). This may help if your not trying to look extra cute while working out.
@@yvonnehoward7825 I bought the Dri Sweat Edge Edge headband -Active wear on Amazon. The key is mainly keeping the band on your forehead just a little to reduce the sweat to your edges and keeping the headband on for about a hour after the gym to soak the moisture up.
do you have any tips for someone with straight ends but the rest of the hair is healthy? Should I just cut it? And do you know of any affordable high porosity hair care ?
What do you think about the curl smith bond builder treatment compared to olaplex no 3? Is it a good equivalent, or should I stick to olaplex? I bought it on sale from ulta and don't want it to go to waste if possible😅 lol
You can do both by rotating the products keep in mind curl smith bond builder has protein and olaplex 3 doesn’t and do a deep conditioner when using either or on your wash day ..both is a great product and help me when i had heat damage
Do you recommend the Olapex products for blow-out naturals as well? I'm only silk pressing my hair about twice a year, but I use my Rev-air every 2 weeks to stretch my hair. I have low porosity 4b/c hair.
how long do you recommend leaving a v part wig in and do you recommend removing it at nighttime? also do you wash your hair in the cornrows under your wig? 💕
Yes definitely remove it every night and I only wear it for about 5-6 days. The clips can be to much tension. And no I’ll take my braids down and wash them.
Isn’t being a straight hair natural just as damaging? I know relaxed permanently alters your bonds, but isn’t being a straight hair natural damaging to the cuticle? (IM not hating I’m just curious)
Yes It can be if done without maintenance. But this option is better for your health considering the chemicals that are in relaxers. I did this video as an alternative for people who were thinking about getting a relaxer.
@@shelltalkshair Please understand I’m not trying to hate I just heard about this straight hair natural concept this year. I suppose it depends on your hair type & type of relaxer u use. My hairs relaxed & pretty much looks like a straight hair natural it’s thick and it has shape bec my low porosity natural hair often rejects the chemical. However a chemical is a chemical & like all chemicals it doesn’t work on everyone
@Nessa AMEN AMEN, Sister, There's Also #ALOT of chemicals in #SYNTHETIC weave and #HUMAN HAIR(WEAVE) Carries #ORHER people's ENERGY, So be #Very careful about #Other people's #Hair❤❤❤
What kind of terrible stylists are being seen that they cannot keep hair healthy WITH a relaxer. That’s nonsense that they are mutually exclusive. You can have healthy relaxed hair. It’s a personal choice. Natural hair most definitely needs more interaction and some women simply can’t or don’t want to do it. That does not mean their hair is not healthy because it’s relaxed. Ive done both and in both styles my hair was healthy and growing. There are ups and downs to both styles. Do what works for you personally!
Whoa calm down… I never said relaxed hair isn’t healthy…. you can definitely have healthy relaxed hair but relaxers still have chemicals in them that are linked to fibroids.
@Shell Grows Hair So does #SYNTHETIC hair(WEAVE) and u better be Careful about wearing other people's hair(HUMAN HAIR) It Carries and Holds Other people's Energy, Something #Most ppl Don't talk about ❤
I don't agree with the new straight hair natural trend that I see going in the natural hair movement personally. Straightening your hair gives you more length retention whether you use heat or relaxed it all depends on your hair regimen and how you take care of your hair whether its in a relaxed or natiral state. The same things that are applied to a natural hair regime, can be appplied to a relaxed hair regimen even though they are in a totally differrrnt stste so i dont see the point of being a straight hair natural its not for me personally period. I said what i said. From what ive seen on youtube being a heat trained natural women means your hair is easily heat damaged. I see being a heat trained natural as a new trend on natural hair youtube that is very viral and popular at the minute.
Exactly why she stated this video is not for everyone! It's ok that it is not for you but for others especially women that has lost their hair from chemo, alopecia, etc they may want to avoid chemicals all together ❤️
I'm a straight natural with heat trained hair and I still have all of my curls. It's possible to do it and not have damaged hair. I wear braids in the summer and flat iron once a month in the cold months.

I’ve been debating on whether or not I want to get a RevAir, I think I just might! Is it made by Revlon or is it it’s own company?
@@creamycazz1 I believe so. I was thinking about the revlon one-step dryer and styler but I saw that there was a recall on it.

What exactly is straight natural?.

Ive done both and in both styles my hair was healthy and growing. There are ups and downs to both styles. Do what works for you personally!
Whoa calm down… I never said relaxed hair isn’t healthy…. you can definitely have healthy relaxed hair but relaxers still have chemicals in them that are linked to fibroids.

I don't agree with the new straight hair natural trend that I see going in the natural hair movement personally. Straightening your hair gives you more length retention whether you use heat or relaxed it all depends on your hair regimen and how you take care of your hair whether its in a relaxed or natiral state. The same things that are applied to a natural hair regime, can be appplied to a relaxed hair regimen even though they are in a totally differrrnt stste so i dont see the point of being a straight hair natural its not for me personally period. I said what i said.
From what ive seen on youtube being a heat trained natural women means your hair is easily heat damaged. I see being a heat trained natural as a new trend on natural hair youtube that is very viral and popular at the minute.
Exactly why she stated this video is not for everyone! It's ok that it is not for you but for others especially women that has lost their hair from chemo, alopecia, etc they may want to avoid chemicals all together ❤️
I'm a straight natural with heat trained hair and I still have all of my curls. It's possible to do it and not have damaged hair. I wear braids in the summer and flat iron once a month in the cold months.
CHEMICAL VS NON-CHEMICAL.
Please exit.
You don't have to 'agree' with it, it's not your hair and women will wear it how they please regardless.
