NATURAL HAIR Q+A | Being a Straight Hair Natural, Silk Press Maintenance + More | Natural Hair Chats 

As a license cosmetologist, you are absolutely right everyone hair is different!💯 For people that tend to have Curly/ Coily and Denser hair, we usually have an Option to Choose if we want to Wear it in a Curly, Wavy, or Straighten Style! Natural Hair is simply Hair that is Growing Out of Your Scalp! Texture is the Appearance and the feel of the Hair Strands! Please Style Your Hair The Way You Like as Long as you Are Doing It in A Healthy Manner! 💯

How anyone decides to wear their hair is their business. Including those who choose to relax.

I became a straight natural about 7 months ago, and I love it. For me, it's easier to manage without having to deal with the tangles, knots, and breakage. My hair was in the "curly" natural state for 5 years before I decided to get it straightened. I had to get it cut into a short bob (which I didn't mind). So I'm in the process of growing it out again.

I love wearing my natural hair straight. I've been nervous about putting heat on my hair every month, but this is so helpful! I’m gonna start implementing more of your tips and some of the products. Thank you!

I absolutely loved watching this video from beginning to end. Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous, just as healthy as can be! 😊😊😊😊😊 oh, and I happen to be a major fan of Color Wow’s Dream Coat! It truly is a miracle worker for sure! I’m all about healthy hair. So, no matter how a person chooses to wear their hair, as long as they properly know how to get and keep their hair in a healthy state, that is what truly matters. For me, doing wet stylings, such as wash n Gino’s, just wasn’t best for my hair and scalp’s long-term health. So, I went back to what I knew was best for my hair and that is wearing it heat straightened. When I want to add some body to my hair I do. Every where I have ever lived at it, starting in late Spring thru early Fall, the heat and humidity be down right respectful and it can sometimes get very stormy ⛈️ , as well, during such times, so when I have to go out in such extreme weather conditions like that, I’ll style my hair into a nice, neat bun, secure it with a cute silk scrunchie. and I am good to go. If I need to do a lil touch up with heat before my next hair wash day, I will simply use my heated straightening brush for that and things will be A okay again. One thing that I would tell any natural, please do not be afraid to use heat on your hair, even if it’s on a monthly basis (whether you do it at home or have a professional to do it for you). Because, you can only best see if and where your natural hair is damaged, when it is in a straightened state. You can’t promptly see how damaged one’s hair is, if you only do wet stylings on your hair. Plus, once you get the hang of heat styling your hair, your wash days will become a breeze. And, best of all the amount of shedded hairs you see will be so much less overall. I truly wish everyone the most healthiest & happiest hair ever! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Your hair is gorgeous & thank you for sharing all of the awesome tips!

I haven’t relaxed my hair in 20 years. I pretty much decided I wanted to highlight my hair so no more relaxers for me. Twenty years ago, this movement wasn’t strong like it is now plus all the products that make maintaining hair didn’t exist. I think even natural straight versus natural is a weird thing going on within our community. I’m a lazy hair person so I prefer my hair blown out. The argument is confusing and not conducive to healthy relationships with our hair and each other since ALL hair is natural if it grows out if one’s scalp!! Unless you are unable to grow hair from your scalp, all of us are natural! These debates remind me of how folks used to debate good hair. Oh she has “good” hair. Once again any hair which grows from the scalp is good. ❤ Great tips on maintaining hair through humidity, workouts , and the shower! I look forward to future videos!!

Girl, I'm trying this straight hair natural route this year. I live in humidity all year round. I'm going to blowdry only for the next month. I'm trying to stretch my washdays to every 2 weeks, but with the hot weather, I feel like I need to wash my scalp weekly. I want to alternate with silkpress and blow-drying only🎉. Just ordered some olaplex and color wow.

I purchased the Olaplex line in samples and full sizes and the tips you gave for 0 & 3 were golden! My curls are always reverting back 💜☺️
