Remember when y’all was little and ya mama always wanted to “bump” the ends of your hair 😂😂 I used to hate that!!! Now it seem like the only right thing to do 😂😂😂 like if you don’t bump your ends you doing it wrong
I'm a straight "natural" too. My hair has grown so LONG since I started wearing it straight 24/7. *2021 edit: Hullo, by "natural" I mean I stopped manipulating and adding weaves, even if I look like a bald head skittle diddle sometimes. I just wear my hair. My hair used to break when it was curly. Now I straighten it once and don't touch it for a long time, moisturize it, wrap it and leave it alone! Maybe it *appears* longer, maybe it's Maybelline.
@@Mzlillybaby not necessarily heat trained. A straight natural is someone who isn't opposed to wearing their hair in a straight style via heat styling. The hair does normally revert to a curly state when washed if there is no heat damage.
khawlitaà fanni1997 Girl I said the same dam thing. If u go to her info she has it in there the small flat irons are 170 that she used. She has all her fav products on her page which are at amazon
I have the same Chi iron but I think it's just okay. So I wonder what temperature you ladies are using. I'm 3B/C and the Sedu works beautifully on my 28 inches.
I’ve been a straight natural for 13 years and I’ve struggled with contact dermatitis (eczema) on my scalp from relaxers. I recently started using wild hair growth on my scalp and I’ve noticed that my flakes are going away. It took a few weeks, but it works.😊
I've used both! Sulfur 8 is great for dandruff control when protective styling and I love wild hair growth oil (in the yellow bottle) for everyday scalp soothing. Both products are a dream come true ☺️
The key is... Scratch you scalp before shampooing, to lift scales from scalp.. Apple Cider Vinegar (w/water.. I put in a spray bottle and DRENCH my hair and scalp) deep cleanse, disinfect, and heals the scalp, helps soften and detangle the hair, adds shine to hair...
@BeYoutiful Lovea good heat protectant is key! And go over my hair only once with a flat iron. And I still have my curls- I just couldn't do it anymore lol
@BeYoutiful Love I honestly have healthier hair now, then when I was trying to maintain my curls. Doing too much to my hair messed it up. But THAT'S JUST ME
@BeYoutiful Love I get a straightening treatment at my salon that keeps my hair in good condition for about 5 months when straightening and I consult with my stylist. That should help. I just like my hair straight lol
I’m a straight natural! Only because I’d rather wear it that way, I love a good slick back or high puff but it’s just something about a full volume blowout/ silk-press 😍😍😍
I like that you just wash your hair and keep it moving. I literally have to put my hair in like 4 or 6 sections to keep it from tangling during washing. 😂
I commend the “Straight Naturals” y’all put in that work🥰🥰🥰 Giiiirrrrlllll that humidity don’t play with me so I just keep a Fro🤪🤣 My family is team straight natural, and here I come puffy. You’re beautiful and your hair looks healthy and nice #blackgirlmagic
I used to be a “straight natural” lol I used to just say I was heat trained and I got tired of my hair not being curly and cut all my inches off and went curly an now Im having halls flash backs and can’t wait to see my hair straight again
Sher VonRi I did the same and it’s been a year. Luckily I didn’t cut it all off so it’s on my back again and my front is to my chin blow dried. Still haven’t silk pressed. Will wait another 6-9 months.
I just straightened my hair last night and I’m so upset because when I woke up in the morning it looked like I only blow dried it. I’m so over my hair 😭
So in South Africa we call it swil kous what she did at the end of the video with a shower cap use stockings instead or the stocking cap use under wigs and over night with that on so your hair stay in place your hair will feel and look stunning that's one thing 90% of women in south Africa have been doing for years cause we like rocking our natural hair
The Head and Shoulders (Royal Line) Scalp Cream is BOMB I SWEAR! I have a REALLY bad scalp like I used to have to wash my hair every 4 days it was so bad. I had those really bad scabs and scales that would get on my scalp even if I didn't even scratch or anything. I started losing hair getting the scales out because my hair would pull from the root smh. NO oil or cream has worked for the last 15+ years. I started using the head and shoulders Scalp Cream about 2 months ago and GIRL...I just put it on my scalp right after I'm done rinsing out my DC. I massage it in and when I tell you I have NO flakes, no itching, nothing for OVER 2 weeks! It's so good my dad even started using it cause his scalp gets bad too. Now at week 2 I just put a little almond oil on my scalp just because I know 7 days of no water/moisture CAN dry it out. But I don't even have to reapply the cream (which of course would cause too much puffiness at the root since it's water based). I cut my hair almost a month ago and decided to start being a straight natural (I'm don't even like straight hair tbh LOL) because I noticed my hair retained better length using the revair to blow dry weekly (very little breakage and ver few SSKs). So I'm like well if my hair is completely straight lemme see if I can prevent even more mechanical damage. And sure nuff my hair has grown an inch already. Do my routine every 2 weeks which WOULD NOT be possible without that scalp cream. I don't even use the whole line. only that product!
I like videos like this. I have the same length. And I’m not good at doing my hair. So I watch your videos for tips. It’s fun to watch a craftsman at work also
It's a Keratin Treatment. Natural's such as myself get it done to loosen the curl pattern to make it easier to manage. But, just like with a relaxer, if you don't get a touch-up your new growth won't match your ends.
Well in my world that is a relaxer...if your roots dont match your ends... Bcuz im natural with no treatments but a conditioner and sit under the dryer for 20min...and i press out my hair with the ceramic irons and in a the next hour its back curly....Natural is no chemicals...just say yall use a textural treatment...organically...lol
@@mcolvinis1 it doesn't take chemical treatment. Just heat training. Always blow drying and flat ironing fr years will do it. My friend lost her curl completely after 5 years of this.
I shaved my head bald month and a half now ! It's growing more healthy, im happy with how comfortable and in rest i turned out. 💗 but still, love watching such type of videos.
I’ve been a devoted Joico Moisture recovery user and the Tresemme moisture and smoothing line actually compares! I still use my Joico about once a month but the Tresemme is a great alternative 🤗🤗🤗
Yasss! I swear by tea tree oil and olive oil mix directly to my scalp and Hair, plastic cap, 20mins under the dryer before i wash with a sulfate free shampoo! does the trick every time.
Are you ever going to cut your heat damaged hair off so your curl patterns can return? Not trying to be funny but your hair looks relaxed. When I straighten my hair it always curls up in water but yours is super straight. Im just wondering but if it works for you keep doing you.
Look up heat training for natural hair. Perhaps that will help you better understand the process and how the bonds and texture of the hair change in response. Her hair has not been straightened to return to its curly state. It has been TRAINED to remain straight.
This style is so cute on you. Yes, I enjoy your styling videos on your natural hair. I really like seeing how you bring your styles to life wigs or natural. Thank you.🤩
When product is heavy on hair, use a Clarifying Shampoo and then follow up with a Moisturizing Shampoo and conditioner. Sickening processes looks great. You also need a Scalp Treatment after braids and styles where hair has been up for 2 Months of more.
Good Evening Ms.Janay Mickles, How are you and your family doing. Hope all is well with you all. I enjoy watching this video and how you example every step process. And the products you use. The hair cut is very... Gorgeous and healthy and beautiful all together. I didn't see one hair out of place. That's very...great . Until the next one. Have a blessed work week and weekend. Stay cool and be encouraged. 💐🤩😍💝♥️🎊💗🎉🙏😉👍💖💖💕💜.
Try using sulfur8 medicated original formula anti-dandruff hair & scalp conditioner it works wonders. It smell a little strong while putting it in your scalp but it will lighten up. You only have to use it once or twice and dandruff is gone. Works great in the scalp before braiding it will keep you from having dandruff. I hope this will help.
I never thought to use a detangling brush as a scalp scrub/massage great idea. I’m going to take the plunge and try doing straight natural again. Oh the work....
@@kayla-vr3dt The Keratin treatment is a chemical treatment to smooth the texture of the hair, using protein and heat. The ones that are toxic contain formaldehyde. Hopefully they ban those from the market.
Love your hair. I love long hair. Everyone that I've looked at with heat trained hair had longer hair than you but I enjoyed your video the most. I think you've cemented my decision to maintain straight natural hair. Your hair is super healthy looking in that bob ♡♡♡ hair crush
I too am a straight natural, but when I do it myself it just don't become as straight as I would like. I go to the Egyptians and sometimes they over-fry my hair and when I go around people, they always make that "someone's hair is on fire" comment...🤷🏽♀️
Beautifully done... how do you maintain the straight hair in the summer.. I'd straighten my hair come out the house, and turn into a llama 😄😄.. thinking about putting a texlax in my hair in the fall.. in the 6 years of being natural I wore my hair out 3x.. I miss my hair🙁🙁
Lovely results! I love it! Would this be considered a silk press or only a press? If so what is the difference between a simple press and a silk press? Thank you for reading this.
Can you make a video on how you trained your hair to be straight like this. ? And try to educate us on if your hair maybe damaged or not.? Maybe show us how to bring the curls back if we desire them. Cause I really need to know this is like witchcraft to me.😂😂😂 Your hair looks beautiful.!❣
Its a lifestyle sis and depends on how you view it. Don't expect or want super sleek straightened hair if you want to majorily wear it natural. You can do lowheat to be a stretched natural and keep your curls or youre fully heat trained straight natural and will wear it straight or in heatless stretched styles majorily
Honestly, I’m converting too and I’m a boy and a hairstylist 🤣. Just easier. I do wear my fro from time to time but mostly cornrows, an eco styler bun, or a blowout. Olaplex no 3 has kept my curls in tact (a non issue for me though), it’s also helped with my ends not splitting with the heat. The shampoo and conditioner alone make my actual blow dry shiny and straight af. Decided to try the leave in and honestly didn’t like it. But the oil!!!! Yoooo that right there before you blow dry gives you silky ass results! You can turn the flat iron down just to seal the cuticle or just silk wrap your hair for a couple of min. It’s a life changer and it’s also repairing the broken bonds from the heat. All steps.
@@totallyque A different pattern as a result of heat equals heat damage. Any alteration of your original curl pattern is heat damage...even if your hair still curls.
Thats what society taught us...i actually love her hair and see many ppl doing this. It looks healthy to me its just different. Jus permanently straightened.
Looks so good😍 Do you have any tips on how to maintain a silk press with curls overnight? They always flatten out when I wrap my hair and I haven’t figured out a way to maintain them!
What is a straight natural?? This is the first time I've heard the term used. Is it chemical free but just flat ironed? I would think that is a lot of heat.
I did hear that flat irons make a difference in your hair and now I see it on this video. She has natural hair and did a good job. I’m going to get me a pair of good flat irons
I love your videos, especially this one, I'm going to try to do my hair the same , you made it look so simple and that's what I like simple, again thank you!!!
•Riana Xo• Natural texture (non-relaxer) individuals whom prefer to maintain their natural textured hair straight. By means of heat, roller set etc... Personal preference for those seeking to avoid constant use of hair products and or hair manipulation. I've been natural for 11 years. As of 2 years straight. Although natural textured hair is beautiful. It's also time consuming and expensive for some. Wearing it straight allows for a little break🤗
Hello Janay, thank you so much for creating these for us to watch and learn! You made the process look so easy! I would live to know what your suggestions are to prevent the hair from swelling and frizz as your flat ironing the hair. This happens to me all the time, it's like my hair turns into black cotton.
