How To Heat Train Natural Hair | No Damage! 

I straighten my hair every two weeks and I have NO heat damage . I have 4a/4b hair curls that always revert back . My stylist told me to never flat iron on dirty hair . And Deep condition at every wash. Ive been doing this for 5 years . It works !

Heat training made my hair grow long, helped me with length retention etc, and It keeps your hair stretched. I do it every month, 2 passes on 410-419 degrees and my hair is colored, wrap my hair every night with satin or silk. And get trims every 6 months

i am so pro heat...i tried the "curly girl" natural journey for years...and my hair is its most healthy in a stretched state. my hair is thicker, it sheds less and retains more moisture. my routine is: i do have to pre-poo and deep condition with heat EVERY wash...but I kinda did that anyway. I style my hair in blow outs, textured flat iron, or roller sets, or I go to the salon for a silk press. I am not sure if my curls are looser because the curls are consistent and the ends still coil. I usually wear my hair in a protective style for 6-8 weeks, then loose and stretched for 6-8 weeks. If I want a break with no added hair I mini twist my hair (on blown out hair) and that lasts for like 3-4 weeks. DASSIT.

i’ve been heat training my hair by blow drying a couple times a month (i have 4b/4c hair) and i dyed it and it’s still so healthy. i’ve cut my ends and moisturized my hair and it’s so beautiful. my curls are looser(stretched) and length retention which i love and my hair over all looks better and is easier for me to maintain. 🥺💕

I go to the salon twice a year now, and it's worked out pretty well. I went natural in 2015 and my hair has thrived like never before. Like you, in the Spring and Summer I wear my natural curls because my hair loves the water. *I never knew how imperative water is to our hair* it just slops it up; and then I use olive oil, and a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Shea butter works wonders in the summer as well. our hair is so versatile and beautiful it dont make no sense lol. Thank you to the Most High as his daughters honor their crown and glory and it honors us back by flourishing!

This technique is good. I have heat trained hair as well, but i did mine how they do in Dominican hair salons. They wash, deep condition, roller set, and then blow dry the hair and i was doing this once a week and about 5 months in my hair no longer reacted to humidity in the air. My curl pattern did loosen up a bit i went from 3C/4A to about a 3B. I just make sure to deep condition once a week and use products that contain light protein since my hair doesn’t like harsh protein treatments.

I’m glad I found this video, I was going to relax my hair because I didn’t want the head damage. My hair doesn’t grow unless straightened or stretched. My curl pattern is 4a/b naturally & it’s alotttt! Thanks sis 💜

Can you do a video on your straight hair routine? How do you keep it moisturized without it reverting?

So glad I found this video! I used to heat train my hair without realising it’s what I was doing and the styles would last so long and it grew! I was uneducated and ultimately damaged it by not looking after it well but after a bc & many years of growing it with back to back protective styles, I want to wear my hair out and enjoy the fruits of me labour. But yo I’ve really struggled to wear it naturally, it breaks a LOTS MORE when it’s curly because of single strand knots, it looses moisture so quickly, i never know what I’ll wake up looking like so it causes me anxiety because a style failing can really derail a day at work - it’s a lot! I’m gonna start heat training again but with all the knowledge I’ve picked up over the years :) thank you

Wow, your hair is super gorgeous! Congrats on your healthy haircare journey! 🙌🏾

Thanks for your honesty. Heat training/damage is not for me. I love my curls and the versatility it brings.

Thank you so much much for your knowledge and free info, I’ve been heat training my daughters hair for 4 years and this will Help me along the way. 🙏

Thank you so much for this video! As others said, I have been starting to get frustrated with my hair and thinking about going back to relaxing. I was nervous about straightening my hair often because I feared heat damage. I’ve taken notes and even appreciate some of the comments and tips! I’m going to try this out and see what happens!!😊

I found my hair community and I am so grateful! 🙏🏽

It’s my blow drying technique that needs work! Thank you for this ❤️ your hair is beautiful

This just made me realize that my low porosity hair may have been the reason why relaxers took so long to “take” when I used to relax it… my hair was so “stubborn”… someone told me I needed a relaxer THE DAY AFTER I got one. 😩… It made me feel so bad about my hair. Anyway, I’ve been natural for 10 years now, & I still have low porosity hair. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hi sweaty. My natural curls is loose bubbly curls and soft. My hair was 16 inches. I had to cut my scalp short because when I applied a relaxer my hair began to fall out and brittle on the ends. So I did a big chop and my hair is full with bubbly soft curls. I love my hair!! 😊

Thank you for providing the guide! I will be reading it ASAP!

Just subscribed! 🙌🏾 I’ve literally been contemplating relaxing my hair but I definitely think heat training might be more ideal for me. Looking forward to more of your videos! I’d love one about beginner products/staple products you need when starting to heat train. Shampoos, conditioners, deep conditioners etc. TY!

So glad I found you at the right time! I want to be able to silk press but keep my curl pattern. Now I just need to figure out my hair porosity. How do I figure that out?

2 things that my hairstylist said that stuck with me is; 1. Natural hair doesn’t equal healthy hair! 2. ALL her natural clients heat train and have hair down to their waist She specialize in natural hair and said naturals can’t tell the health of their hair bc they’re scared to straighten their hair due to heat damage. keeping it curly gives an illusion of health but you won’t know for sure unless you straighten it to see. I thought my hair was so healthy when i first went to her. My hair was bra strap length upon pressing for the first time in 2 years it was so damaged from lack of trims it was uneven density throughout my hair 🥺. If she were to take off all the damaged hair i would have been back to big chop length 😭. She took off an inch and we agreed to gradually cut the rest. She gave me homework told me what i needed to do at home and what products to use. 8 months later my 4a hair has never been so healthy & thick and i have about 3 inches left to cut off the ends but overall my hair is very thick throughout and it’s longer than when i first went to her . My hair has never been this long and healthy at once. I’m on my way to waist length a goal i had since i first went natural 11 years ago never seemed to achieve. She said its safe to blow dry my hair weekly as long as i use heat protectant and focus on moisture with heat during my deep treatments (bc i had protein overload) She also has natural hair that is heat trained and her hair is waist length and soooooo gorgeous and healthy🫠🤧. I only wish i had met her when i first became natural 11 years ago

I have been fully relaxer free for about 7 years. At first all I wore was wash and goes I could not get enough of them and the compliments I received from it. Lol BUT here 6 yrs later I have been more Into having it tucked away. Occasional braids or twists. But I would love to see some of your spring and summer go to limited heat styles. I don't think silk pressing regularly would be good for me but I love how you are able to show how we as relaxer free women can still use heat responsibly so to not damage it as bad. I will ve tuned in for sure. Thank you!

I am natural 4a low porosity and use that hot brush at 392 degrees. I do hair mask , deep conditioner with heat, and wash with clarifying shampoos.

I have been detangling my hair all day! IM TIRED!!! I said that I will tex lax but will give heat training a try. Had a poor experience of heat damage from the blow drying process on my hair so have been doing seasonal silk presses ever since! But this damage from this natural state is exhausting. 😩 Truly wish you were in my area!!! Would love to hire you as my stylist!

I don’t straighten my hair often but I’ve still noticed thinned out heat damaged hair. Due to This my hair knots very easily

Chiiiiilllllle ima have to try something! Because I wear braids alllll the time back to back. So when I once in a blue moon try to wear my hair out it literally reverts back almost immediately! I be about to cry 😂😂. It’s so crazy and so thick. I told myself I’m going to start getting my hair done and straightened/trim after I take my braids out. And I think my hair would be more healthier that way. It’s just gonna be SUPER hard to get past the stage where it’s not trained.

What do you think about the RevAir for blow drying?

Thanks so much for all of your helpful info! Do you have any thoughts on amino acid or smoothing treatments? I work out a lot and would like some help keep it straight

Hi. Can you explain further what you mean by "quality" ceramic flat irons? Or what makes a flat iron "quality"?

So if I want to straight my hair every one to two months a year besides summer when or how often should I take 3 months break what hairstyle should I do can you please help me like how exactly is your routine in a year mostly

This was sooo helpful, been natural for about 10 years now and I love my growth but I’m tired of never being able to maintain a solo press. Do you recommend anything for the girls that work out?

I blow dry my hair every week (wash day) to keep my hair stretched and then flat iron it every 3-4 months.…I do genetically have high porosity hair so I have to make sure I keep up with protein and everything

AMAZING video! It was very informative. I am relaxed and colored. I stretch relaxers 3 to 4 months. Hair is at bottom of bra strap. Can I transition by heat training my hair and trimming off monthly growth to retain length? My hair is wavy at roots. Easy to do with good slip conditioner then I hood or air dry and 2 pass flat iron. Help me out sis lol

Can u do a video on the best flat irons ?

just wondering how early in the hair journey does one experiment with heat training?

Thank you! Do you have a tutorial of your curls in the intro?

Thanks for everything gorgeous ❤

What about brazilian keratin treatments? Would that fall under chemical straightening? I Get one done once a year to loosen my curl Pattern and cut down (air) drying time. I do wash & gos, just like when my hair does not have the keratin treatment. Once it’s summer and i heat the salty beach water, the hair goes back to curly, unlike relaxed hair.

What should I use for deep condition? theres so many products out there, i dont know the right one. Do I just chose and stick to any deep conditioning product?

When your hair is in its straight state, hwo do you maintain it? Do you wrap it every night or twist it up? Thank you, love your channel & am newly subscribed.

Great tips! ❤I’ll be looking into that because I’m so scared of heat damage because it happened to me already

Dropping some KNOWLEDGE okay 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥👌🏾💙

Love the content

Which olaplex products should i at home?

Any ceramic blow dryer suggestions?

Hi sis, can u recommend some budget friendly products that are not olaplex please

I have 4c and the length retention has been awful since natural. I noticed my niece had the sane Keibler but when she started to get pressed her hair grew. I also noticed her hair thinning. I'm thinking about a protein straightner but am in pause. What do you think about these so called natural straightners?

I'm considering straightening my hair more often, but can I reach tailbone length as a straight natural? I don't see many straight naturals on YT with long long hair. Maybe like 3 🥴

I seemed to never get it right I changed from wash and goes to blow outs.I do a blow out once every 4 weeks and go right into a style that does require manipulation I usually do 4-5 cornrows after I take out the braids I do a dusting or trim. I do this once a month and I've gotten wonderful length retention. Great video

I recently had my hair silk pressed it didn’t last not even a full 24 hours. My hair reverted so quickly cause of my own sweat

Does this mean I can get my natural hair back after stretching it with heat

I went to the link to download your hair care guide and I put in my email address but I didn’t get the download. The only thing I got was email saying hair care guide with my email address to click on to email myself and at the bottom of the email it said to create your own jot form. I’m confused can you please help me get the hair care guide? Update: It took about 30mins but it finally came up and I saved it to my phone.

The hair care guide has exceeded its allocated quota. Any chance you can increase the quota please? I just found you and can't wait to start my heat training journey.

Wow! That’s a lot of heat! I use the Revlon blow dryer brush, with heat protectant, which gets to be a maximum of 175 degrees F and that seems very hot to me. I have a combination of type 3a hair with some 3b and 2c. Think that 400+ setting would destroy my hair! Sometimes I flat iron the edges where the hair is 3b but they also can get straight by using a small blow dry brush.

Hi I was looking to download your guide, but the form errors out.

I have 4b 4c hair and also tried the more natural approach, would deep condition once a month, try to stretch my braids etc. My hair is happiest blow dried 😭 i straighten my hair when i want ( not more than twice a month) and blow dry every wash. I wash and deep condition once a week or every two weeks💕

hey. could you please reupload your haircare guide?

Is heat training possible if you workout a lot?

How did do the style you wear. Do you hVe video?

Do you still recommend using heat protectant when you blow dry & straighten?? Any recommendations on types of protectants or ingredients?

Hi I can’t access the form!

Great video!! My blow dry is always a huge disappointment.. after a clarify wash and deep condition my hair is super soft until I blow dry, then it’s a stiff dry hot mess.. does anyone know why this happens? I want to blow dry like the pros at home aha

What ceramic flat irons do you recommend?

Do you have any recommendations for a ceramic flat iron?

i keep the blow dryer a good distance from my hair

I am just starting my heat training journey & i just straightened my hair for the first time in 6 months. I trimmed about an inch off after straightening. It gets sleek at first but before i’m even finished with my head it’s starting to puff up. It’s really hard to get the ends all the way straight as well. Do you know why this is? Will repeated straightening over time stop this from happening?

How do you stop it reverting? My hair reverts the same day

I want to heat train my hair but I need a cosmetologist who is located in South Carolina whose willing to heat train my hair and keep my on the right path. Anyone know anyone?

Can you still use gel when heat training your hair?

How do you heat train your hair if you sweat in your scalp? I work out 3/4 a week and my hair just reverts back to being curly soon as I'm done.

❤❤❤❤

Hey, could you do a video about products other than the olaplex that are good for the hair? I've just started heat training last week using olaplex treatments, thanks to you :) Very early days but I'm excited to see how it turns out x

Can’t download the heathy hair guide anymore.

SSSSOOOO I shouldn't use the comb attachment on my blow dryer👀😳

What style do you have in this video?

Just found your channel. you are so beautiful .

Can you heat train with just blow drying like with revair?

Why shouldn't we deep condition more than 1-2 times a month?

Can you really put heat on your hair twice a month????? I’ve been getting my hair done as a male every 2-4 months because I’m scared of heat damage😭💀

All this video talked about was damage and split ends. Where's the part that actually talks about how to heat train natural hair?

You know but then you're like oh you know my hair like the curls don't look good my hair freezes out all the time you know and stuff like that it's because you're doing this this is just a manageable level of damage this is just one of the levels of damage before it gets to the undesirable level of damage so this is just a desirable level of damage but you're still damaging your hair I would definitely recommend if you're like a perm hair person and you know for a fact you like perms and that's it and it's going to be like your lifelong thing that you're never going to not want you know then heat train you know maybe you don't have the money or maybe you just don't want to always use the chemicals like you know maybe you're like a boho person you know like a hippie person but you don't want to use all the chemicals and things like that to get your hair straight so you can do this you can heat train you can use heat on your hair on a regular basis and it can be straight longer and with greater ease that'll be my top recommendation over getting a chemical perm but if natural hair is your thing and you know that natural hair and everything that comes with it curls shrinkage all that stuff if you know that that's your thing and you know that that's basically something that you're always going to come back to or something that you're always going to want you never want to eat because little by little those girls are going to go away that's what he training is that's what it does and that's not repairable it's not fixable you know maybe a protein treatment to your curls or can't snap back a little bit more than before but ultimately it's over

You said the words "press" your hair, but the captions read "suppress". Even though this was an accident, this could still happen as an African woman living in an country of suppression. Often having to wear wigs and use straightening combs in order to fit in with the norm. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U48565qmqUk.html
