1. Your flat iron needs to be at least 450 degrees to get a nice look 2. Actually blow dry your hair first before you flat iron it 3. Spray a little Oil sheen all over before flat ironing 4. Your hair is really thick so you need to do smaller sections
Not really, our hair won't fall off on the spot if we use it at 450 degrees, but we'll most likely get heat damage (when parts of hair become permanently straight.. and the only way to get rid of it is to cut it off so our hair will "fall off" technically lol)
homegirl. you need to hit those roots real good dont just rush through each strand flat iron smaller strands use some oil put the heat up a little bit higher nd you will be good its just minor things
I just failed at this last night. I think my fear of heat damage was to real cuz my hair look like yours. o and if you get done to fast it won't last. I see now I should have done smaller sections and the heat level. let us know if you tried aging and how that turned out.
Yes that is the key my hair is thick and I always blow dry it straight in sections then flat iron it in sections. Not to rush and small pieces it takes a while but once in a while I like it straight
Not always true. I straighten my hair and it doesn't look like a blow out. I use grease like Dax pressing grease and a heat spray, i don't blow dry it.
You need to use a fine tooth comb and chase the comb with the flat iron; that helps distribute the heat through each strand of hair. You chasing the flat iron with the brush is not going to work.
Smaller sections and a small tooth comb would've made it even silky/straighter & the flat iron is suppose to chase the comb/brush your brush chased the flat iron that defeats the purpose of using the brush.
And I feel like you should've used something a little heavier then just that heat protecting spray which you really didn't use much of because your hair is thick!!
+msbenefitbeauty I know right... I always go to the shop to flat iron my hair because I think I am doing to wrong because I always end up burning my scalp :( But when I go the shop, I start moving because I am scared it will burn me and it ends up burning my hair AND my scalp... :( Flat Ironing doesn't work for me! xD
If I want to get my hair sleek straight I usually do a blow out first, then super small sections, high heat, and use a fine tooth comb to chase. Still, even after all that my hair will sometimes still not be sleek. Problems of thick hair.
That's not always true. Just because your hair is curly doesn't mean you need more heat. Typically but not always ethnic hair is kinkier but usually more fine than other hairs. The ideal temperature for breaking hydrogen bonds within the hair is 365°. The more coarse your hair is you will need to increase heat but 450° is usually used to melt dreads.
+Eliza Dunn basically what david is saying is most kinky natural hair with no chemicals take more heat. what he and other professionals say is start low and work up to see how much heat your hair needs and can take without frying your hair.
Ok, Ladies, Imma help y'all out. The best type of flat iron are the ones that have Titanium Plates! Again, the best flat iron are Titanium Plates. The reason why U get flat irons with Titanium Plates because it smooths the hair better and make your hair way straighter. Natural styles are the hardest styles to maintain. When flat ironing natural hair, U need a flat iron that goes up to at least 450°. I remember going to Kenneth Shuler Cosmetology School. And in my kit, I had a titanium plate flat iron. Y'all, talk some serious straighten? Yes ma'am! Ok, if U have a Sally's Beauty Supply or better yet Walgreen's have the Red Pro's titanium plate flat irons. It's a lil bit cheaper, but it works. I had a pair of Red Pro's 1/2 titanium plate flat iron. That sucker went up to 460°! I had it for 4 years and two weeks ago, it died. 😞 Anyway, getting back, I am going to Walgreens to get another pair. I also know how to clean your flat irons. Always keep a jar of relaxer around. It doesn't matter what kind, just keep a jar. Relaxer cleans flat irons, electric curlers and stove curlers. All U have to do is, plug up your flat irons, curlers. Turn them on to make sure they are hot. Get U two old cloths that U don't used. Lay one cloth on the table and put your flat irons, curlers on top of the towel while they are hot. U are going to take your other towel and dip a corner of it into the relaxer. Take that corner of the same towel with relaxer on it and rub it across the flat irons, curlers, etc. Continue to use that technique until U don't see any buildup. The relaxer is an acidic compound so it will eat away stuff like that. Continue to keep dipping the relaxer on the heated items. Once U have all that buildup off, unplug your tools. Wait until they cool off. After they cool off, U are going to take another corner of that same towel, run a lil bit of cold water on the other in of the towel. Clean off any remains of the relaxer and U are good to go. Any questions? Feel free to ask. I don't mind helping out. 😀
Ceylon M. This comment helped me so much, thank you. I've always used ceramic flat irons, and never get the best results. So I'm def gonna invest in a titanium one.
TheLaurenMyers i think you misunderstood what Emily I guess was saying... She was complementing her LIPS and Skin,so maybe RELAX and learn to spell when your trying to be mean to someone for something that doesn't concern you. (Bully)
Lol right, putting the Brush first would've made a big difference because it would've separated the strands so the heat could get all the strands. Also blow drying the hair first to get out the deep curl texture would've done the trick
Well No wonder it always look like a blow out 😅 When u flat iron natural hair , u blow dry it out first THEN you flat iron it to make it look straighter and it stretches more 😂😂
Part your hair in smaller sections, use higher heat (stay below 450), and try using a product with propylene glycol in it (Paul Mitchell and Frizz Ease are some good ones). Also, ust a tip: my hair never used to get straight until I started using Marcel curling wax (yes, the old school kind they used with hot combs!). Maybe it'll work for you.
First of all, your hair is absolutely stunningly beautiful, and curly hair requires a lot of maintenance so you obviously take wonderful care of it, so good on you! ❤️ As for the straightening of your hair, you'll have better results if you work in much smaller sections-- about an 1/8th inch in thickness since you have so much hair. Try brushing through a section before flat ironing like you're doing here, but then grab a heat resistant fine tooth comb, and follow THAT with your flat iron instead of using the brush because it'll provide you with better tension, and tension plus heat is how you straighten with the best results. Run the iron through your hair very slowly. You'll make less passes through the hair by taking the time to get it right the first time, and it'll be way easier for you! Don't worry, hair burns at 450 degrees so as long as you're nowhere near that on your iron (400-425 is probably the best range) you're all set! ❤️❤️
Can I PLEASE have your hair? I love straightening hair that isn't naturally straigh or wavy, I like seeing it get longer, am I the only weirdo who likes to do this? lol.
Here"s some tip's cause I straighten my hair every week (I know its bad) and my hair's really curlyFirst: Use smaller section's when straightening your hairSecond: Thoroughly straighten it don't just pass it once and move onThird: Try not to brush it so much after u straighten it. It creates frizz Fourth: If u feel like you need to bush it then use a comb maybe a rat tail comb with the pointy endFifth: Try to straighten your root's first then work your way down your hairAnd last but not least: Adore your curl's I have curly hair and lots of girl's tell me they would do anything to have them I really hope this helped. Took me forever to write lol
lol no that's a good flat iron! I saw other youtubers use the same flat iron and their hair turned out beautiful. I just think she should blow it out first, and work with smaller sections.
So I think I know ur issue bc we have a very similar hair texture and my hair looks just like urs when I'm done flat ironing (ironically I just straightened my hair this weekend after not straightening it for a year!). So I've been natural since 2007...in 2011/12 I began my second transition which was from heat. In 2014 all the heat damage was gone. As a result, my hair no longer straightens bc it's not "heat trained" anymore. So I say all this to say, if you want your hair bone straight you would need to do one of two things 1. Flat iron your hair more regularly so your curl pattern can loosen and be easier to straighten. 2. Use extremely high heat (above 400 degrees). I don't like to do either so my hair ends up looking like your hair as well which I have grown to love bc it's so much more unique than bone straight hair. Now I air dry, lightly blow dry, then flat iron on like 350 degrees and if it's not sleek enough I'll put my hair in flexirods to make it look wavy. At this point straight hair is really just to trim my ends and check my length...other than that I prefer curly hair.
You might just be right because my curl pattern/texture is very close to Maryam's and my hair doesn't get bone straight either. Since i've been natural (3 years) I have straightened my hair three times. Each time it comes out looking like a blowout. I prefer my hair curly anyway and I am not about to start over due to heat damage so I just wanted to say thank you for your explanation and long live the curls! :D
heywaitMarlee Yea girl! I know your pain! Honestly, Ive just given up. Ill blow my hair out or lightly flat iron to help with a rod set or a longer twist out (which is what I ended up doing this flat ironing...my hair just isnt meant to be straight anymore, and I dont think I like it that way anyway! ha!
***** Yea...I need to try again in a few months. I do not know what the problem is! When I was flat ironing my hair regularly my hair was pin straight...now that my hair is its natural texture 95% of the year, the few times I do straighten it...it just puffs back up in a few hours. I will keep trying! Thank you!
I love your hair. But friendly tip. Try smaller sections. Use a comb instead of paddle brush, have the comb UNDER the flat iron. That straightens your hair better & wont leave it looking so puffy. & slow down a little bit while going over your pieces. It will give you much better results.
There wasn't really anything wrong you should just pass the flatiron twice over the hair and focus more on the roots bc that's always a problem for curly girls I know that feeling lmao
*I won't ever flat iron my natural hair again. It messed up my curl pattern so I ended up doing a second big chop after my hair grew over 14 inches in one year after the first big chop.* 😔 *Your hair looks beautiful!* 😍 *Thanks for sharing!*
I love your hair, it's so beautiful. I was surprised by how thick your hair is at first, but then you said that you don't use heat often. New subscriber!
Even tho you didnt get it bone straight like you wanted, I still love the way your hair looks like that. Its so thick and fluffy. You have beautiful hair
I have the same texture also. The sections were to thick and you should put the brush or comb before the flatiron. I also apply the heat protectant and then let my hair air dry. I hope this is helpful😣
I take about 3 hours with mine with mini sized section hair (BTW MY hair as been thinned out 3 times already and it's still pretty thick) and I still can't get it to not freeze no matter how much sh¡t I put on it.
Stop hating on her it is her own way to do it she doesn’t deserve all this hate and if you think it’s wrong then why are you watching? People who just hate on people but still continue to watch them are pathetic and immature so just leave her alone and only give her love. She said this is NOT a tutorial!
for us ppl with natural hair we have to blow it out as straight as possible. part it smaller and then flat iron using a fine tooth comb to lead as the flat iron follows. it's called a silk press
I have very very very very thick hair and I can get it pretty straight. Imma give you some advice on ironing ur hair.😊 First, you only go through your hair twice. You should iron each piece at least 3 times. Next, you are parting it too big. You should part it to where the pieces are smaller. Last, you are either using too little protector or you need a different one. I myself, use oil or grease. When I use the oil or grease my hair turns out very greasy..very greasy. Also, you don't have to blow dry your hair before you iron it, it's just more heat that you don't need. I really hope you try these tips☺️,love ya😘
I'm sure you know by now but the reason you aren't getting the super straight result you're looking for is because you need to blow dry it. Or even do a curler set and sit under the dryer. Blow drying will not only help straighten it better but it will be easier to straighten it. And grabbing smaller sections as well. If you really don't want to blow dry your hair just be sure to grab very small sections and do the comb chase/flat iron method. You have wonderful hair.
You started getting lazy with it. You need to go over your roots 3 times and then go down slowly with smaller sections (: just a heads up. I'm a cosmetologist
Jessicka David for a “cosmetologist” You should know that with her curl pattern, it’s best to blow dry as straight as possible first, then blow dry. It’s really the only way to truly get the roots as straight as possible, and the rest of her hair will require less passes.
if you want it to look flat then here's a tip when you are straightening your hair try to straighten it in smaller pieces. Also while you are straightening in smaller pieces use a comb while going through it. umm... like when your going down your hair have the comb tracking behind it. hopefully that makes sense. Hopefully that helps you out :)
i know its been said a million times before by other commenters but while i dont have curly hair i have thick hair that just does what it wants. You need MUCH smaller sections. for your hair density id say around an inch at a time and use a comb rather than a brush to pull the hair straight BEFORE you heat it and go in slow strokes.
No matter half black, a quarter black half a quarter black...... Your hair is never gonna be all the way straight.... That's a good thing love ur curly gurl it's beautiful
Beautii Brii Not hating my mom was born with naturally straight hair while my uncles curly hair and it's funny when she says she wants my hair because it's curly and I wish I could sometimes get my hair straight.
1- turn up heat a bit higher 2- do smaller pieces and don't rush through the process 3- get those roots and ends really good 4- if your hair is stiff, like sticking out when you hold the ends, your probably doing one of these steps wrong.
Not sure if you have found a way that works for you yet but I know that when I do mine I do it on 390 and I use a fine toothed comb with my flat iron. I tap my roots a few time then place my comb in my hair and allow my flat iron to follow my comb and it turns out basically bone straight every time. Hopefully this helps if you still haven't found a good way. It's also pretty fast haha
you're supposed to brush as you go which means put the brush before the flatiron and just go down at the same time, this is the best way I could explain it so
Kelsey Matthews She's not straightening her hair because her natural hair isn't beautiful. That's like saying you shouldn't dye your hair, or try anything new to your hair for that matter, because you don't think it's beautiful. Her hair is beautiful both ways and she's trying something new. And by the way, hey assbutt.
put your iron on 425, with heat protectant it won't burn your hair. make sure you chase the brush with the iron,the brush should go down the hair first THEN the iron. do smaller chunks and do it more slowly. three passes per chunk. guarantee you your hair will be straight.
What a beauty you are!!! Probably been having tons of us saying this but... 1. Too fast moving down the iron. If u can touch the hair with fingers, it's not hot enough. 2. Comb chasing works best. I did a video on this. It will cut the time & heat needed in half xxxx ( if you want me to explain more in happy too. Xx Rose
Let me straighten it. Girl I'll put hope back in your heart for straight hair. If you tryout again just grab smaller sections, guide the straighter with the brush (opposite of what you did), & Straighten it a second time if you have to. Btw your are crazy pretty & stay up lovely. ☺️ I would like to see a second attempt. ✌🏼️
okay.. your hair is beautiful lets begin with that i know alot about hair. .. i use to have very thick curly hair.. my advice first of a better flat iron with higher heat since your hair is thick ! ( ofcourse use some heat protection ). its okay to pass the blower threw your hair so it becomes lighter and better to handle and itll be faster since you basically straighten out some of it with the blower ! i can literally make your hair pencil straight! anyways beautiful hair love it 😊
Well i did not know I do not put heat on my hair, too precious, but I do not think so. Anyway I put only the coconut oil in them. And I have found another video with straightener brush and the results are awesome.
Makayla Bair I'm am too and my natural hair is like beach curls but I have thick hair so you don't really want to use above about 300 for your type of hair
@@jordangentile7450 any race can have coarse hair. Not all white people have fine/thin hair. My hair is more on the fine sid, but I use 400-450 because of the texture and have no problems. Depends on the person.
Sydnee Mikumuren never said that a certaint race has fine hair or coarse hair, but from what I can tell her hair is Med to coarse bc ppl with fine hair get their hair straighter than that even when the taking huge sections as she was . And the amt of times she went over a strand of hair, she’s burning it.
1. Your flat iron needs to be at least 450 degrees to get a nice look
2. Actually blow dry your hair first before you flat iron it
3. Spray a little Oil sheen all over before flat ironing
4. Your hair is really thick so you need to do smaller sections
Rayven Hawthorne AT LEAST 450 degrees?? 450 degrees is when healthy hair starts to burn, so there's a high risk of heat damage though.
Oh wow!! Maybe your hair I have hair like (I'm not being racist) but I'm white and if I have it at 450 my hair will fall off!
Not really, our hair won't fall off on the spot if we use it at 450 degrees, but we'll most likely get heat damage (when parts of hair become permanently straight.. and the only way to get rid of it is to cut it off so our hair will "fall off" technically lol)
PixieHollowLounge she meant Fahrenheit, it's like 230 in Celsius:P
skoczi244 I know.
homegirl.
you need to hit those roots real good
dont just rush through each strand
flat iron smaller strands
use some oil
put the heat up a little bit higher
nd you will be good
its just minor things
I just failed at this last night. I think my fear of heat damage was to real cuz my hair look like yours. o and if you get done to fast it won't last. I see now I should have done smaller sections and the heat level. let us know if you tried aging and how that turned out.
Lundynn Hodge Thank you, this just might work with mine.
Lundynn Hodge facts sis 😂💯✅
You have to blow it out first
Use some oil...yup so she can fry her hair like a piece of ham ☺️
She looks what blue ivy would look like when she gets older
and sounds like Beyonce a little
yess omg.
Funny enough I also see a bit of solange too. Like a blue ivy/ solange mix. Beautiful features 😍
She looks so much like Solange
so truee
If you want your hair to be really straight, and NOT look like a blowout, you need to blow dry it straight first.
Yes that is the key my hair is thick and I always blow dry it straight in sections then flat iron it in sections. Not to rush and small pieces it takes a while but once in a while I like it straight
YES SUPER IMPORTANT!
Not always true. I straighten my hair and it doesn't look like a blow out. I use grease like Dax pressing grease and a heat spray, i don't blow dry it.
Blow drying does too much frizz for me I just put in roller sets and it comes out better
jayda miller Really? Are you blow drying with a brush... like the big round ones they use in salons?
You need to use a fine tooth comb and chase the comb with the flat iron; that helps distribute the heat through each strand of hair. You chasing the flat iron with the brush is not going to work.
TheStylishDIY I know I was being lazy and just wanted to rush through it. It was taking too much of my time
Maryam Hampton what does that â mean? Lol I keep seeing it
alexis dixon Lol idk did I put that somewhere
Maryam Hampton never mind haha I think my RUclips was glitching
i flat iron my hair without any comb and it comes good
the problem is from her flat iron is not strong enough
Smaller sections and a small tooth comb would've made it even silky/straighter & the flat iron is suppose to chase the comb/brush your brush chased the flat iron that defeats the purpose of using the brush.
And I feel like you should've used something a little heavier then just that heat protecting spray which you really didn't use much of because your hair is thick!!
Shay's World I agree with you
Wow!!! Thanks so much for the knowledge 🙏🏾.
The flat iron should "chase" the comb, not the other way around.
i do the same thing as her
Yes brush first then flat iron
Audrey is right, if the iron chases the comb it will insure a smoother outcome, this is coming from a hair dresser.
Kristyn Leigh quiet white white girl
I'm mixed raced and it works better for me the way she does it as well
it scares me every time u touch ur hair after the iron was on it bc whenever i do that it burns me lol
msbenefitbeauty Lol oh no!
+msbenefitbeauty I know right... I always go to the shop to flat iron my hair because I think I am doing to wrong because I always end up burning my scalp :( But when I go the shop, I start moving because I am scared it will burn me and it ends up burning my hair AND my scalp... :( Flat Ironing doesn't work for me! xD
msbenefitbeauty You should get one of those hot gloves.
ASPÆD Music i used to have one but i have such small hands that none of them fit me so it just ends up making the process harder lol
Lol I hear you, my hands are too big, so I'd probably not be able to use one either.
She forgot to get to the roots and use a comb lol
yup
briyanna ceasar ikr it look the same not trying to hate but it's the truth
I was waiting to see a comment tht noticed tht part lol
If I want to get my hair sleek straight I usually do a blow out first, then super small sections, high heat, and use a fine tooth comb to chase. Still, even after all that my hair will sometimes still not be sleek. Problems of thick hair.
Comb it as you flat iron it instead of after and makes sure you use smaller sections.
Your flat iron needs to be hotter - like 450 degrees for curly girls. Try chasing it with a small comb, that's what i do and it always works!

Sydney Davison Anytime Baby.
Why not just lemon juice?
i don’t think this is relevant but what degree do you think gets 4c hair straightened? 400?
Ok can someone correct me if im wrong but..dont you put the flat iron to follow the brush not the brush following the flat iron?..
Yes, you put the brush/comb in front of the flat iron, not behind it.
yo I know this is a hair video but those LIPS YOOO and her damn skin is so clear.. like goodbye @myself with the pizza face
a homestuck who like Steven universe... my people
Allye Isaac we're pretty common, I think 😂😂👌

Les métis sont trop beaux dans la grande majorité.
Vive le métissage !!
I love your profile pic.
*(Draco)*
do smaller pieces and hold it on your roots for about 3-5 secs.
and SLOWLY run it down.
It's doesn't matter what hair straightener you use its how you use it and she didn't really do it properly
I've actually never used a flat iron before so what was she doing wrong?
Looks at the comments up
Exactly sections where too big and you’re supposed to chase the flat iron BEHIND the brush/comb
Most people blow out their hair with a blow dryer before using the flat iron
Fr like wtf is this
let me start with your smile it is gorgeous and you have a head hella of hair and yeah keep it curly
+Kennedy Gw Thank you!!
You did the chase method wrong.. Brush needs to be in front of the flat iron.
it doesnt matter if its to think because it atleast gets her hair straight
+Briana Calvillo it DOES matter
+Shay's World to you
No to ANYBODY that wants there hair BONE straight! nobody wants to flat iron they hair just for it to look like it was blow dried!
Lol right, putting the Brush first would've made a big difference because it would've separated the strands so the heat could get all the strands. Also blow drying the hair first to get out the deep curl texture would've done the trick
Well No wonder it always look like a blow out 😅
When u flat iron natural hair , u blow dry it out first THEN you flat iron it to make it look straighter and it stretches more 😂😂
I don't do that I have fine hair so it don't need that
+Jasmine Farmer well , she is not even talking to you :D
+Jasmine Farmer who asked you? no one cares
not true. I don't blow dry my hair and I get it really straight. she might need to use smaller sections.
+ecstaticblues it is true just everybody doesn't need it I do it and do does a lot of my friends
Your supposed to use a comb and also put the comb in front of the flat iron but u HAVE TO GO SLOW
Hope I helped you and other people who have this problen
Alicia Floyd problem
Alicia Floyd Also use smaller sections
Ikr she new thats all
Geriyah Rice It's pretty simple
the piece of hair that you are flat ironing are too big
I realize you wanted silky straight so you consider this a fail, but I LOVE the blown out look :)
***** Thank you!!
heat setting was too low should've done 400
It would've burned her hair don't do that!
If she does it right it will work !
Im a hairstylist i should know Naufal Ziqri
+Naufal Ziqri dude I straighten my hair every day on 400 it wouldn't burn
I do mine at 420... my hair is really curly/thick, so when I have it at 420, it's STILL really curly...
I put mine on 200 because my hair is really thin and not so much curly
Omg at least your hair didn't burn off
Am I the only one who actually loves her hair after?
nope
no I like just to ma.ke it look better you know
No I like it before
+
no I think it was cute.
The video was relaxing.. It's not often that you find someone who knows how to use proper background music that doesn't make you want to mute it
Part your hair in smaller sections, use higher heat (stay below 450), and try using a product with propylene glycol in it (Paul Mitchell and Frizz Ease are some good ones). Also, ust a tip: my hair never used to get straight until I started using Marcel curling wax (yes, the old school kind they used with hot combs!). Maybe it'll work for you.
I agree with frizz ease 👏🏾👏🏾💖✨
she needs to use smaller sections of hair, like smaller than she was using
OMG your natural hair is literally goals, I'm crying x

+Elleay You're so sweet. Thank you!
First of all, your hair is absolutely stunningly beautiful, and curly hair requires a lot of maintenance so you obviously take wonderful care of it, so good on you! ❤️
As for the straightening of your hair, you'll have better results if you work in much smaller sections-- about an 1/8th inch in thickness since you have so much hair.
Try brushing through a section before flat ironing like you're doing here, but then grab a heat resistant fine tooth comb, and follow THAT with your flat iron instead of using the brush because it'll provide you with better tension, and tension plus heat is how you straighten with the best results.
Run the iron through your hair very slowly. You'll make less passes through the hair by taking the time to get it right the first time, and it'll be way easier for you! Don't worry, hair burns at 450 degrees so as long as you're nowhere near that on your iron (400-425 is probably the best range) you're all set! ❤️❤️

Here"s some tip's cause I straighten my hair every week (I know its bad) and my hair's really curlyFirst: Use smaller section's when straightening your hairSecond: Thoroughly straighten it don't just pass it once and move onThird: Try not to brush it so much after u straighten it. It creates frizz Fourth: If u feel like you need to bush it then use a comb maybe a rat tail comb with the pointy endFifth: Try to straighten your root's first then work your way down your hairAnd last but not least: Adore your curl's I have curly hair and lots of girl's tell me they would do anything to have them I really hope this helped. Took me forever to write lol
You definitely just need a better flat iron
lol no that's a good flat iron! I saw other youtubers use the same flat iron and their hair turned out beautiful. I just think she should blow it out first, and work with smaller sections.
+Adriloves03 ha but ur white I'm not saying this in a rude way because I'm white too and have curly brunette hair too and it's easy I'm 12 too Lol
+Onjelie Linor maybe she should take smaller sections
+sena bc you're white and you don't have black people hair
+Emma Key hahaha true, I'm mixed and I have really curly hair btw
So I think I know ur issue bc we have a very similar hair texture and my hair looks just like urs when I'm done flat ironing (ironically I just straightened my hair this weekend after not straightening it for a year!). So I've been natural since 2007...in 2011/12 I began my second transition which was from heat. In 2014 all the heat damage was gone. As a result, my hair no longer straightens bc it's not "heat trained" anymore. So I say all this to say, if you want your hair bone straight you would need to do one of two things 1. Flat iron your hair more regularly so your curl pattern can loosen and be easier to straighten. 2. Use extremely high heat (above 400 degrees). I don't like to do either so my hair ends up looking like your hair as well which I have grown to love bc it's so much more unique than bone straight hair. Now I air dry, lightly blow dry, then flat iron on like 350 degrees and if it's not sleek enough I'll put my hair in flexirods to make it look wavy. At this point straight hair is really just to trim my ends and check my length...other than that I prefer curly hair.
Michelle Rodgers Right! That's all i did was trim my ends and it was back curly the next day.
You might just be right because my curl pattern/texture is very close to Maryam's and my hair doesn't get bone straight either. Since i've been natural (3 years) I have straightened my hair three times. Each time it comes out looking like a blowout. I prefer my hair curly anyway and I am not about to start over due to heat damage so I just wanted to say thank you for your explanation and long live the curls! :D
heywaitMarlee Yea girl! I know your pain! Honestly, Ive just given up. Ill blow my hair out or lightly flat iron to help with a rod set or a longer twist out (which is what I ended up doing this flat ironing...my hair just isnt meant to be straight anymore, and I dont think I like it that way anyway! ha!
Maryam Hampton Ur better than me, im lazy, im just thugging it out with this blow out til my next wash day
***** Yea...I need to try again in a few months. I do not know what the problem is! When I was flat ironing my hair regularly my hair was pin straight...now that my hair is its natural texture 95% of the year, the few times I do straighten it...it just puffs back up in a few hours. I will keep trying! Thank you!
I love your hair. But friendly tip. Try smaller sections. Use a comb instead of paddle brush, have the comb UNDER the flat iron. That straightens your hair better & wont leave it looking so puffy. & slow down a little bit while going over your pieces. It will give you much better results.
Next time you should try smaller sections & take a bristle brush and chase it with the flat iron
is your hair seeing anybody? i may be in love lol!
Lmao!!
Idk why but watching people straighten their hair is satisfying
Your hair is beautifully before and after
+nikkia montgomery You're so sweet to say that.Thank you!
+Maryam Hampton I agree, very beautiful hair before and after. You sounded a bit disappointed but you are gorgeous remember that!
There wasn't really anything wrong you should just pass the flatiron twice over the hair and focus more on the roots bc that's always a problem for curly girls I know that feeling lmao
*I won't ever flat iron my natural hair again. It messed up my curl pattern so I ended up doing a second big chop after my hair grew over 14 inches in one year after the first big chop.* 😔 *Your hair looks beautiful!* 😍 *Thanks for sharing!*
You have the most beautiful bone structure!
I love your hair, it's so beautiful. I was surprised by how thick your hair is at first, but then you said that you don't use heat often. New subscriber!
+Misukawa Riko Thank you!!
+Maryam Hampton your supposed to put the brush before the flat iron or else it won't straighten correctly. Also, you can try a stylist
she is doing it wrong
+Danielle King right she ain't doin something right
+James Wiley in know right it not straight
Even tho you didnt get it bone straight like you wanted, I still love the way your hair looks like that. Its so thick and fluffy. You have beautiful hair
My hair does exactly the same as yours when I flat iron it myself!
Rihannah Coles I'm glad I'm not the only one lol
Lol she did
I have the same texture also. The sections were to thick and you should put the brush or comb before the flatiron. I also apply the heat protectant and then let my hair air dry. I hope this is helpful😣
I take about 3 hours with mine with mini sized section hair (BTW MY hair as been thinned out 3 times already and it's still pretty thick) and I still can't get it to not freeze no matter how much sh¡t I put on it.
CrayCrayAura *frizz
You have such pretty lips!
+Peyton Collins Thank you!
Stop hating on her it is her own way to do it she doesn’t deserve all this hate and if you think it’s wrong then why are you watching? People who just hate on people but still continue to watch them are pathetic and immature so just leave her alone and only give her love. She said this is NOT a tutorial!
USE SMALLER SECTIONS TO MAKE IT STRAIGHTER
if u want a more straighter look u should use smaller pieces...
I honestly love how your hair looks naturally 😍
you're absolutely gorgeous
+Emma Saeed Thank you!!
Use smaller sections and use a brush first then chase it with the iron. You were chasing the iron with the brush.
for us ppl with natural hair we have to blow it out as straight as possible. part it smaller and then flat iron using a fine tooth comb to lead as the flat iron follows. it's called a silk press
your hair is perfect natural
I'm a BANANA Thank you!!
you have to do smaller sections than what u did
I have very very very very thick hair and I can get it pretty straight. Imma give you some advice on ironing ur hair.😊
First, you only go through your hair twice. You should iron each piece at least 3 times. Next, you are parting it too big. You should part it to where the pieces are smaller. Last, you are either using too little protector or you need a different one. I myself, use oil or grease. When I use the oil or grease my hair turns out very greasy..very greasy. Also, you don't have to blow dry your hair before you iron it, it's just more heat that you don't need. I really hope you try these tips☺️,love ya😘
Smaller sections
Slower passes
Higher temperature.
Tip* use the brush infront of the iron;D
+Kendra Eiland so that way your hais is being brushed straight while the iron follows behind!

I'm sure you know by now but the reason you aren't getting the super straight result you're looking for is because you need to blow dry it. Or even do a curler set and sit under the dryer. Blow drying will not only help straighten it better but it will be easier to straighten it. And grabbing smaller sections as well. If you really don't want to blow dry your hair just be sure to grab very small sections and do the comb chase/flat iron method. You have wonderful hair.
You started getting lazy with it. You need to go over your roots 3 times and then go down slowly with smaller sections (: just a heads up. I'm a cosmetologist
Jessicka David for a “cosmetologist”
You should know that with her curl pattern, it’s best to blow dry as straight as possible first, then blow dry. It’s really the only way to truly get the roots as straight as possible, and the rest of her hair will require less passes.
Никол yess thank you! My mom always blow dries my hair first since I have very thick hair! Then she flat irons it for the best straightness!💕
she is so pretty! with long pretty natural hair!
if you want it to look flat then here's a tip when you are straightening your hair try to straighten it in smaller pieces. Also while you are straightening in smaller pieces use a comb while going through it. umm... like when your going down your hair have the comb tracking behind it. hopefully that makes sense. Hopefully that helps you out :)
OMFG WHATS THIS BACKGROUND MUSIC HELP I LOVE IT
It's in the description :)
i still love you but why 1:22 you looke like felica from the movie Friday
+Jada Petite Lol! I know!
+Jada Petite loll
+Jada Petite haha i thought the exact same thing but mary girl your hotter.
+nemo flow lol
i know its been said a million times before by other commenters but while i dont have curly hair i have thick hair that just does what it wants.
You need MUCH smaller sections. for your hair density id say around an inch at a time and use a comb rather than a brush to pull the hair straight BEFORE you heat it and go in slow strokes.
No matter half black, a quarter black half a quarter black...... Your hair is never gonna be all the way straight.... That's a good thing love ur curly gurl it's beautiful
Right? I love her type curly hair. It dominates straight and wavy hair by mileessss. ~ someone with stick straight boring ass hair. :/
Lol I'm 3 quarters black
yyaass
Beautii Brii Not hating my mom was born with naturally straight hair while my uncles curly hair and it's funny when she says she wants my hair because it's curly and I wish I could sometimes get my hair straight.
Not correct my hair gets straight straight with little effort when I'm flat ironing it
I think it still looks good tho... 😃👍 good job. Its really not that much of a fail... 👍
1- turn up heat a bit higher
2- do smaller pieces and don't rush through the process
3- get those roots and ends really good
4- if your hair is stiff, like sticking out when you hold the ends, your probably doing one of these steps wrong.
That awkward moment once you realize your flat irons aren't shit....🙄
and flat iron slower so u can get it straighter with less passes
Not sure if you have found a way that works for you yet but I know that when I do mine I do it on 390 and I use a fine toothed comb with my flat iron. I tap my roots a few time then place my comb in my hair and allow my flat iron to follow my comb and it turns out basically bone straight every time. Hopefully this helps if you still haven't found a good way. It's also pretty fast haha
Beautiful hair leave it alone lol
Smaller sections would work
you're supposed to brush as you go which means put the brush before the flatiron and just go down at the same time, this is the best way I could explain it so
Your natural hair is so beautiful, I don't know why you straighten it :(
Kelsey Matthews She's not straightening her hair because her natural hair isn't beautiful. That's like saying you shouldn't dye your hair, or try anything new to your hair for that matter, because you don't think it's beautiful. Her hair is beautiful both ways and she's trying something new. And by the way, hey assbutt.
JALO LIONEL Lol pretty sure assbutt's a bad word xD
Kelsey Matthews I do not understand that reference.
JALO LIONEL Sorry, my "people skills" are "rusty"...
Kelsey Matthews This isn't funny, Dean.
your sectioning is wayyy too big...flat iron smaller sections at a time next time ☺
put your iron on 425, with heat protectant it won't burn your hair. make sure you chase the brush with the iron,the brush should go down the hair first THEN the iron. do smaller chunks and do it more slowly. three passes per chunk. guarantee you your hair will be straight.
I don't know if it's just me, but you look like Solange knowles!
Yeah it takes ours with a lot of patience and arm cramps
Me too I flat ironed my hair and it just looked like a blow out but it took 5 hours.😩😩😩😩
What a beauty you are!!! Probably been having tons of us saying this but... 1. Too fast moving down the iron. If u can touch the hair with fingers, it's not hot enough. 2. Comb chasing works best. I did a video on this. It will cut the time & heat needed in half xxxx ( if you want me to explain more in happy too. Xx Rose
Wow you're beautiful 😍 and your hair texture is so beautiful. are you mixed with anything?
+yung mami Thank you and no
U can be fully black and ur hair can be wavy or just curly not kinky
ya dont gotta be mix to be beautiful or have good hair
+Diamond Thompson that's not what she's saying she was just asking :)
+Candy pop k
Why is this a fail???
Let me straighten it. Girl I'll put hope back in your heart for straight hair.
If you tryout again just grab smaller sections, guide the straighter with the brush (opposite of what you did), & Straighten it a second time if you have to.
Btw your are crazy pretty & stay up lovely. ☺️
I would like to see a second attempt. ✌🏼️
You have gorgeous skin and lips
+نورة محمد Thank you!
+Maryam Hampton I love your hair
Your lips are goals :D
Chiara 101 Thanks love!
okay.. your hair is beautiful lets begin with that i know alot about hair. .. i use to have very thick curly hair.. my advice first of a better flat iron with higher heat since your hair is thick ! ( ofcourse use some heat protection ). its okay to pass the blower threw your hair so it becomes lighter and better to handle and itll be faster since you basically straighten out some of it with the blower ! i can literally make your hair pencil straight! anyways beautiful hair love it 😊
Woah, she sounds a little like Beyoncé
Your so pretty😄👍🏻
+Emma sparks Thank you!
I like it. When you do braid outs and twist outs when your hair looks like this it gives you pretty beach waves
who is watching this and dose not even have curly hair
Your lips are perfect!
Your hair is so pretty,curly and natural in a great way
am i the only one that thinks flat ironing natural hair is like an arm work out
I think if you use coconut oil and put it more effort and time it´ll work.
You don't put oil on your hair before flat ironing because it will fry your hair.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Well i did not know I do not put heat on my hair, too precious, but I do not think so. Anyway I put only the coconut oil in them. And I have found another video with straightener brush and the results are awesome.
+P
Noooo!! Do not use oil when putting heat to your hair! If you want to fry your food, what do you use? Oil. Don't fry your hair too!
She could definitely be a model . Girl, you're so pretty
I put my flat iron on 412 and im white with just wavy hair😂
Makayla Bair if i was white I’d do the same thing. It’s either you bone straight or you don’t lol.
That is awful. Use 380, 400 is for coarse hair! You are just burning your hair.
Makayla Bair I'm am too and my natural hair is like beach curls but I have thick hair so you don't really want to use above about 300 for your type of hair
@@jordangentile7450 any race can have coarse hair. Not all white people have fine/thin hair. My hair is more on the fine sid, but I use 400-450 because of the texture and have no problems. Depends on the person.
Sydnee Mikumuren never said that a certaint race has fine hair or coarse hair, but from what I can tell her hair is Med to coarse bc ppl with fine hair get their hair straighter than that even when the taking huge sections as she was . And the amt of times she went over a strand of hair, she’s burning it.
