How I Heat Train Natural Hair With No Damage | Growth + Length Retention 

Thanks for the kind words ❤️

Thank you ❤️

Thank you so much! 😊

Awesome! Thanks for subscribing 😊

Usually only low impact workouts so I don't sweat a lot.

I use to wash every 2 weeks when I was relaxed. I wash monthly mostly because wash days take forever and I don't have the patience to wash my hair every 2 weeks anymore...lol. Thanks for watching and supporting! 🙂

Try some lavender oil diluted in sweet almond oil: 3%/97%. Section your hair, dip a cotton swab in the oil and gently wipe down your scalp, especially your "hot spots". You can use a cotton ball to dab off any excess. This is different from any sort of oiling and massaging. You want to treat this oil solution as a sort of cleanser/ astringent. The cotton ball/swab keeps you from over applying, and helps remove excessive build up. The sweet almond oil soothes dryness and cracks (much like with dry hands and feet), and keeps the LEO from burning the heck out of any irritated spots lol. The LEO is a proven antifungal and antibacterial oil. Basically, it kills off all the scalp nasties that create other problems. Just be sure to do a patch test first, on your wrist, and then a dab or two on your scalp. I'm a "stretched and protective styling" natural lol. But I think there's a lot of cross over in our preferences. I wouldn't do this more than once to stretch out wash day, though. I think after this, it's definitely wash day lol. You're body's telling you for a reason. Lastly, if you're using direct heat 3 times a month and that concerns you, maybe make the middle time a blowout only wash day with rollers or flexi rods, twist outs, or French braids? You'll have more texture until next wash day, but there's lots of cute up-do's you can do until then too.

@@chocolatte522 thank you so much for your advice. I’ll give it a go.

I usually protective style in the warmer months.

Yes!

Yes, I protective style. I’ll do a separate video . Thanks for watching and commenting 😊

Hi! You can but it's probably better to gradually cut the relaxed ends if they're damaged.

Have you try dry shampoo?

I use dry shampoo but honestly it only buys we a couple days.

@@RushellKB wow. My silk presses last at least 3 weeks then I'll be ready for a new style even though I could get more out of it.

@@Brittaney1300my initial sail press lasts about a week, then if I dry shampoo maybe 1.5 week. I sweat in my head is why And I live in Miami so it’s really hot here all the times

@@RushellKB yeah Miami heat is just like this Texas heat so I understand. I try to only wear them in the cooler months like December- February because Texas is hot year round just like Florida.

Thanks! No, I don't dust in between trims.
