When my hair grows back, I’m thinking about being a straight natural and have been mentally coming up with my regimen. That Olaplex line is definitely what I plan on using 😁
So good that you’re already thinking about your regimen! Good luck on your journey! 💕
I can completely relate to u. I have been natural since 2016 but I wore a lot of braids. After my braided moved I got into straightening my hair. Ppl would always talk about heat damage etc but honestly I’ve nvr experience it much. I enjoy seeing my curls whenever I’m washing/conditioning my hair 😆 I may even wear a curly bun w deep conditioner for 2-3days. But, I always straighten it I’m definitely more of a straight hair natural then anything else. I’ll do a two braid braid out or a 1 french braid braid it & call it a day. Every inch of my hair is dyed due to greys 😑😂 but it’s remains healthy & always reverts bk. Moral of the story if u take proper care of it it doesn’t matter what u prefer it’ll remain healthy. 😍😍😍😍
I absolutely agree! It’s all about proper hair care!
Love this!! I can relate soo much and have also been natural for 10+ years and have worn my hair straight ever since. You did a great job!
Thank you! So glad you could relate to my journey. Thank you for watching! ❤️
Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing your journey and encouraging others to do what works for them!
Thank you so much for watching ❤️
Love this video, your storytelling and the outcome.
You have gorgeous hair in both it’s natural and straight state. Thank you for sharing queen.
Thank you so much ❤️
I appreciate your story. Thank you.
I'm a straight natural and I love it.
I felt bad about using heat and not embracing my curls. But I do enjoy straight styles. I'm feeling a lot more confident now.
Thank you.
Do whatever works for you unapologetically! Thanks for watching ❤️
New subbie! Would love to see more hair content as I’m a straight natural as well! But whatever you put out, I’ll watch. 🙂🙂
Thank you for subscribing! So glad you enjoyed ☺️ More hair content is coming!
Beautiful hair!
Good job styling it 👍💖
Thank you! 💕
Beautiful hair and healthy. Best silk press routine I’ve seen in a while. I love how your hair is light fluffy and not weighed down.
Thank you so much for watching 💕
Girl..I just stumbled across your video…I love love love your hair and the video was so relaxing to watch..good job !!!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed 😊
I was natural for about 8 years now my hair is keratin treated and I love it. Wash days are a lot easier
Sooo sooo much easier!
Do you still have ur natural curl pattern? Did ur hair go completely straight after the first treatment or did it happen over time?
@@mrod87 My curl pattern has loosened with each keratin treatment I’ve gotten...it’s really for making it easier to straighten your hair. I no longer have a consistent curl pattern all over my head my curls are not the same. If I want to go natural again I would have to transition again although my hair has a lot more texture now than it did when I was relaxed. There also isn’t a line of demarcation and my hair is healthier now than when it was relaxed.
Great job sis! Beautiful hair, eyes, face, skin!
Keep shining, I’m so proud of you!
Thank you sis 🥺 Your words means so much ❤️
I enjoy this so much. I used to wear my press n curl all in high school. I loved it but my hair always stopped at shoulder length until I did the big chop and wore my hair natural (also before it was popularized). I BC’d like 5x’s. Now that I do my own hair, it’s to the middle of my back. I love doing my twist outs, braid outs, and whatever else. When I wanna be straight, I wear my bob wig. I’m enjoying my hair 😗😗😗
But watching your hair reminds me of how my hair used to be. I love it. Keep doing yo thang gurlllll 💕💕💕💕🤩
Thank you sis! There’s so much versatility in natural hair!
I need to invest in this flat iron. Love how you styled your hair. It’s so pretty!
Thank you! It’s definitely worth the investment!
Yes more videos like this
So glad you showed us both shampoos! I love watching suds form 😂
Lol! I agree, the suds are satisfying!
I'm a straight hair girl too, I love making my hair look like the wigs I could get, yk.
This was definitely such an easy video to watch, very detailed, loved every bit of it!
I also loved that you used Olaplex cause I've been debating on it for a minute, I'm sold! :)
Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video! 😊 & I hope you like Olaplex as much as I do when you try it!
Love this, it's a lot of work considering how much hair you have, I did a short wash day video too and I and my short hair are tired, but I plan to make it a weekly thing so, we keep going. Great video.
Thank you! Sometimes it can certainly seem like a lot of work but it’s worth it to have beautiful hair.
Enjoyed your wash day beautiful results; I luv Olaplex it’s a staple😊
I’m glad you enjoy! Thanks for watching! ❤️
Love your entire video. Beautiful hair.
Thank you!
You make me wanna be a straight natural. Looks so much easier!
I support you styling & caring for your hair in the most practical way for you! 💕
Hi Chavi! I just found your RUclips page and so happy I did! I’m also natural and have 3c/4a hair and recently cut my hair into a bob and need some points on how to keep my ends straight and maintaining and styling straightened bob length hair! Post more videos! You’re great!!
Thank you so much for tuning in ❤️
I love your highlights!
Thanks hun 😊
New subbie. I came here from your other video on how to maintain your silk press and demonstrating how you wrap it at night. You're really helping me on my journey because I'm considering being a straight natural. I got my first silk Press today and it cut into a Bob and I am so excited! I literally cried when she cut my hair and definitely not because I lost length. I could care less about that. I wanted it healthy. But I think some things were really released the moment she cut that dead hair off and it was so freeing and necessary!!❤❤❤❤
Welcome boo! So glad my videos are helpful to you & I wish you the best on your healthy hair journey 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
Love it!!! ❤️❤️ Can we get a skin routine vid next?
Thank you for watching! 🥰 A skin care routine is definitely in my plans! ❤️
I love it!! I’m getting bored with my hair. I’ve been natural for 12 years and heatless for 5 years. I started using hooded dryers and diffusers this year for my wash n gos but I’m wanting a change and a little ease when it comes to styling. I’m going to start by blowing out my hair and wear it straight once a month. Thanks for the tips!!!
It’s nice to switch it up here & there. Thank you so much for watching 💕
Love it sis! New subscriber here 💜
Yes ma’am! I’m loving the aura of your personality🙂.
Because my hair has been color treated my colorist suggested Olaplex! I have 4 & 5. Just received 3 last wk.its really good!! Now plan on getting 7 after seeing your results. Been natural for about 6yrs & thinking to dip more into straight natural aside of the summer it gets super humid in Chicago 😅
But yes your hair is beautiful!!! & I’ve just subscribed 💁🏽♀️ please continue to upload 🙌🏾
Thank you 🥰 Olaplex it sooo good and really worth the investment! Definitely going to keep the videos coming!
@@ChaviAllie 💞
I’m considering becoming a straight hair natural as well! 💖 I’ve been natural my entire life and honestly over time the Maintence gets way too much & expensive with all the products we have to buy for our curls 😭 love your channel ! And oh girl your ring is beautiful btw lol 💖
If you’re feeling ready for the straight hair natural journey, I’d say follow your heart. I don’t regret my decision at all. I enjoyed my curly natural hair for many years & was ready for a change. I love my hair! & thank you so much ❤️
Oh and your voice is so relaxing. You sound so much like Ari Lennox 💕💕💕✨✨✨💋💋
Thank you! I love Ari! 💕
Love everything about you gal, Ur hair, your flawless Skin
Thank you so much 🥰❤️
Sis your hair is beautiful 😍😍😍
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Hello beautiful... Amazing video! I am a new subscriber! I also like to straighter my hair sometimes...
My daughters hair is so curly and I love it!! I also love the olaplex products, definitely the best! ❤
Hey hun! Thanks for your comment & for subscribing! So glad you enjoyed 😊
Great job 👏🏽
Thank you! ❤️
I love your bob style and your hair color. Your hair looks so healthy! I think you should keep it that beautiful length, but I know it's your hair, and if you want to change styles that's your decision.
So pretty I like the hair color on your skin tone
Thank you!
Yes for 1200 views sis!!!
I knowwwww 😭💕
Just came across your video, your beautiful girl 🥰 the cut looks amazing. How do you maintain your hair? Could you do a video on it? Products you use to care for your colour too. Please 🙏🏾
I'm a natural but sometimes I blow dry and straighten it when I feel like it as long I do the same steps I always do to care for my strands and colour
Thank you hun! ❤️ My hair is very low maintenance and I used minimal products other than the ones shown in this routine. I use a wax/edge control and oil for my scalp occasionally. But I could do a maintenance video in the future.
🎉 I'm a new subscriber from Maryland amazing video 🎉
it doesnt look like you have one side longer than the other, it looks like one side has a looser curl than the other. Awesome video! If you workout I would love to see you do a winter "week in my hair" routine. I am a straight natural (well becoming one again) and I cant figure out the fitness thing bc I wasnt working out regularly when I was straight before. I did like one week no fitness, and once my hair was dirty I would try and get to the gym but that doesnt work for me now.
It’s actually both, shorter and looser textured. My bob is asymmetrical and heavier on the right side because of my side part & bang. & I’m actually about get back into the gym regularly so I will have to figure that out myself. Lol So this is definitely a good video idea. Thank you!
Beautiful hair!
Thank you! ❤️
@@ChaviAllie 🎉🎉😀
Those ends tho....look dam good. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you!
I love you haircut and your hair is so healthy and beautiful! I have a few questions because I think I might become a straight natural… what temp do you have your flat iron on? And how often per month do you do this routine/ flat iron your hair? I’m a new sub!! Great work!
Thank you! 😊 I straighten my hair at 400 degrees & do a full wash day routine twice a month. I use heat occasionally when I add curls at 375 degrees.
@@ChaviAllie thank you! :)))
Your natural hair still has a lot of texture for a straight natural! I like that, would you say the olaplex has a lot to do with.
Yes, I definitely think Olaplex helps maintains the health and texture of my hair. Thank you for tuning in! ❤️
Okay but you're pretty asf! 😍
Thank you 🥰
Beautiful! I did a silk press so I could trim my ends. I'm not a straight natural. I love my curls to. What flat iron are you using? I have one similar to that. It's by Kipozi (imitation) by them. I use the same heat protectant and some grapeseed oil before flatiron. Grapeseed oil is extra protection for me and helps out on the frizz and gives my hair the best sleek shine! 😊☺😊
Thank you! Sound likes you have to routine locked in! I used the BaByliss Nano Titanium Flat Iron.
@@ChaviAllie see a lot of youtubers using that one. What temperature do you flat iron yours on? 400° is my limit.
400 when I’m initially pressing my hair on a wash day & 375 when I’m just refreshing it or adding curls.
How often do you wash your hair and get it trimmed being a straight natural. Do you wear protective styles in the summer and what do you do in the winter? Really thinking about becoming a straight natural. Thank you for the detailed video.
I wash & deep condition my hair at least every two weeks & get trims every 6 months now. I use heat about twice a week when I’m wearing my natural hair pressed. I wear a lot of protective styles like braids & wigs with leave out when my natural hair isn’t pressed. You haircare & maintenance largely depends on your styling routine. So the less heat you use, the less likely for damage. Hope this helps!
Beautiful 😍
Thank you!
Great video! I’m also a straight haired natural! I get a ton of breakage during the blow drying stage. Do you have any tips on cutting the breakage down?
I’d recommended a protein and deep conditioning treatment. Try blow drying your hair on lower heat. And definitely invest in Olaplex products because they help repair & restore damaged hair. But ultimately, to get rid of broken hair, you’d have to trim it. I hope this helps!
@@ChaviAllie Thanks, Chavi! I never thought of turning down the heat while blow drying! I have the entire Olaplex set! I will try the heat thing and see if it helps! I appreciate the tips :)
I bought a Revair blow dryer to prevent breakage and to get the best blow out. It’s pricey but totally worth it imo.
@@WellBeing999 Hey! I bought the Revair and returned it a few days ago! It didn't get my hair as straight as a regular blow dryer!
:(
@@TaylorM Trim consistently until the breakage stops. You could also try lowering your heat usage for a while to give your hair a break. I now do blowouts without the flat iron as my used to break too much. Hope this helps
You are beautiful 😍 love this
Thank you so much 🥰❤️
Girl we have a similar story. I went natural in 2009. I was too broke in college to get a relaxer so one day my friends and I decided to just chop my hair. It was great. I’ve done everything to my hair color, braids, all the natural hairstyles you can think of. At the end of 2020 I decided to get a keratin and straighten my hair. It’s been awesome. I love it. Maybe one day I’ll go back to my curls but I’m enjoying this stage right now.
I feel seen! Lol Thanks for sharing your journey. I love being a straight hair natural too. It just works perfectly in this season of my life. Only God knows if I’ll ever go back to the curls. Lol
How do you moisturize your scalp and hair in between rewashing and flat ironing.
I only flat iron my hair about once a month or more. I just cant seem to moisturize without weighing my hair down or making it mad oily
Honestly, dry hair or scalp isn’t much of an issue for me thank God so the natural oils that my scalp produces is enough. I do this routine every two weeks so I get my moisture in though conditioning/deep conditioning. Occasionally I may use an oil on my scalp but that’ll be 1-2 days before a wash day because it will weight my hair down a lot.
Beautful hair Nice I love It
Thank you!
I love how they cut your hair. Where did you cut it?
Thanks! My hair stylist did my cut. I just uploaded a new maintenance video & linked my stylist in the description!
Beautiful
Thank you!
What temperature do you have the flatiron on...I have the same one
410 for my initial press. And 375 of I apply any heat during the week.
Gorgeous
Thank you 💕
🎉 I'm a straight natural
Hi Chavi, what size is your flat iron?
Hi! It’s the 1-1/4 inch babyliss titanium flat iron.
What blow-dryer are you using?
Does anyone know?
Check out my Amazon storefront! Link in description.
Can I use the African pride products for this look as well
As long as they don’t weight your hair down with oils, I don’t see why not!
Your hair is beautiful…..
Thank you!
So you do this routine monthly how do you moisturize your straight hair
I do this routine twice a month & I get my moisture from the products you see me using here.
Where did u get your Flat iron
I got it from Ulta!
you're so beautiful 💞
Thank you so much 💕
Can I use the olaplex on relaxed hair??
Yes!
What temperature is your flatiron on?
400
@@ChaviAllie Thank you
What lashes are you wearing?
They’re lash extensions. I just uploaded a new maintenance video & linked my lash tech in the description!
@@ChaviAllie Thank you!!!!
Straight natural, l personally prefer titanium it works best for my hair, and yes the highest temp. The curly styles are a nightmare to detangle 😢
I love that as black women we’re doing what’s best for us with our natural hair. Thank you for watching! 😊
