- I decided to flat iron my 4C hair for somewhere I will be going. Hope you can learn something good from me :)
PRIOR TO FLAT IRONING, HAIR WAS WASHED 1 WEEK BEFORE WITH VO5 SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONED WITH RAW ORGANIC HONEY FOR 1 HOUR BEFORE WASHING IT OFF.
PRODUCTS USED:
1) Cotton yarn for African Threading - goo.gl/U6qwb8
2) Wide & thin toothed combs
3) Unrefined Shea butter as a heat protectant (melting point - 110•F)
(boiling point - N/A) - goo.gl/hb7l42
4) GHD IV styler autoset on 200•C/390•F - goo.gl/hypnMn

You are really gentle with your hair. It's nice to watch you care for it
aww bless you
I don't bother flat iroining my hair as it doesn't last more than a few hours. My hair reverts quickly. I tried it once and as soon as I left the salon my roots puffed up. It looks lovely on you and kudos for being so dedicated because 6hrs is a lot. 😊☺
I love your hair so much that I almost cried. My hair is 4c too and it has been stuck at somewhere between neck and shoulder length for years(it keeps breaking). Super damaged! But i just recently started researching on how to take care of it better and I really appreciate that you prayed for your hair when you started your journey. I hope to get there soon.
I love all your videos. Beautiful Christian lady.
I love that you know your hair and just accept it for what it can and cannot do. Thanks for sharing. I was getting a bit annoyed the other day because no matter how many times I comb my hair, it always tangles up. So I've had to learn not combing it so much. I can use threading before braiding/kinky twisting my hair too. No one can handle my hair but me lol.
thank you sweetie and that so true i feel the same way no one handle it but me
I agree! It is so refreshing to see someone who accepts their hair for all of its raw beauty and refuses to compromise their hair. I love the care she puts into her hair.
You seem to have such a calm and loving spirit. Love your hair! Maybe consider getting some better hair scissors. Walmart has some for like ten dollars...
thank you, i def need to xx
05:47 "One thing I learnt about this hair is that you have to be very patient". I like that
I love your hair! My hair is 4c also and I'm almost to shoulder length!!!! Dephne you are one of my favorite 4c hair peeps that actually have helpful methods and tips. I'm thankful that you have a good channel and that I can get help with caring for my hair. Plz keep posting because you inspire me everyday.
Nyakong Yang How's your hair length now?
I need to start threading. I think you have perfected your regiment. Your length says it all. We, who are growing our hair to your length needs to learn from you.
And yes, patience...is definitely key. You represent us 4B girls well.
I am glad that you decided not to relax. We miss relaxing because we get frustrated with our hair, it doesn't do what we tell it sometimes and doesn't look the way we want it to.
In reality what really frustrates us is the time management.
I have a friend that has 4b/c type hair and it took her a while to figure out what works but she finally has a regimen down. It took me (4a/3c) to figure it out as well and I'm still learning.
One thing that I realized a while back is that just because someone shares the same curl pattern as you does not mean that the products they use will work for you. We have to keep in mind that we eat different foods and react to them in different ways, we have different habits and upbringing that results in different things.
So with that said, If you do not know who they are, I would love to suggest some sisters for you to watch and take some suggestions of each one and try and/or personalize it to you.
You be even more surprised and feel like you have been living under a rock.

Be blessed!
i spoke about my experience and forgot to say- i enjoy your videos and am happy i found you. you have been an inspiration and i like your gentle aura
I love the way u say Shea butter. seriously
We have similar hair. See that "cob-webbing" and matting before you flat ironed. My hair takes several hours to flat iron too. Other people have no comprehension.
ananse77 After dangling try applying the chase method with a brush. This should ensure straightness.
I still can't believe that your hair is 4c-I just subscribed! Great video.
I love the V Shape, it looks so naturall as if cut in layers. You have done a great job caring for your hair.
I know this may seem weird to you, but you should really use a heat protecant with a lot of silicone in it. I know 4c girls may be doubtful of it because it stops your hair from absorbing moisture, but for heat styling it's exactly what hair needs. They prevent your hair from heat damage, and provide tremendous slip, so u can detangle then go through with a smaller comb to do the chase method. Also oils really do allow your hair to fry when using flat irons. I have hair just like yours. But it does straighten and stay straight when I flat iron it.
Well looking at her hair I'd say the shea butter is working.
GMOgottago Right! 😅
Now this is 4C hair. We have the same texture. This is the first time I've seen anyone who notes the same struggles I have. The chase method? Blow drying with an attachment or brush? None of them work for me. I was thinking about relaxing, I've been transitioning for a year, but things will get better with time and more length. I did just this, last night. I've accepted that my hair is what it is. I no longer have a desire to straighten it, it just takes too much. Not to mention, my hair reverts within hours towards the roots. Keep the videos coming. I now see what I have to look forward to!!
I remember when I used to straighten my hair, I would always use some sort of cream in it before hand, because it helped to make it smoother, and people would even think that I had relaxed my hair, and I've never relaxed to hair to this day. (Btw I have 4C hair too :) )
awesome! what cream did you use?
Dephne Madyara Indian Hemp :)
P u r p l e * M o o n ooh does it still exist?
I have a similar hair type to you and I'll say what has really saved me detangling wise is the PADDLE BRUSH. Yes, the same one that people with straight hair use. I only use it under running water with conditioner in my hair, but it gets ALL of my tangles out. I first finger detangle, use the wide tooth comb a couple times, then the paddle brush, and then two strand twist my hair so it stays detangled. It really catches all of the shed hairs and you're left with tangle-free hair. I'm two years into my journey and just discovering this. I'm going to use it before I straighten my hair again to make the process easier. Hope this helps :)
All of you videos are such a blessing! It has taken me a while to learn to do my hair as well.. definitely wanna try to threading ! less heat! Wanna say I really appreciate you ministry videos as well .. you are a blessing to the Body of Christ!
April Martin aww thank you so much ma'am God bless su and thank you for watching my videos xx
I love your hair!! just stumbled on your page n you mentioned that you prayed to get your hair long.....chopped my very kinky 4c hair n cant wait to grow it. when i was a kid my sister once told me to pray so my hair can be longer as i wanted and it did. I had forgotten that part but its really good to see that someone else would go for that option as well. I am inspired.
Aloe vera gel or juice mix with water helps a lot with the ends. I am 4c; my ends now coil which I did not think was possible for 70-80% of my hair. Using aloe vera water mixture as my L in the L.O.C method has been very beneficial to my hair. You may want to try that.
Sister Dephne, it is a blessing to subscribe to your channel. I'm better for the blessing you are selfless enough to share! 🙏🏾🙋🏾❤️
Of course, seeing that this was posted last summer... I believe you mentioned that you were trying the threading for the first time. After seeing yours, I know that there's no point in me trying, because my hair is the same as yours, but without the length. The last time I washed my hair completely free, I vowed to never do that again! It's growing in twice as thick now, which I'm excited about, but I won't do that with 4c hair! I have to have my hair in around 8 fat twists and wash them individually and twist it back once it's clean. That has given me more time in my life, thanks to Naptural85! Thanks for posting this!!!
I have a suggestion for you beloved.... wet your hair prior to combing it. It will break if you do it dry. At least for me. I recommend jus using a spray bottle. Always start at the ends and work your way up the hair. And lastly use a wide tooth comb...which I know you do use . Thank you for sharing your videos. I really feel a witness in my spirit about your hair journey ...long story ..but the timing was 100% perfect and I stumbled across the video by ...well some might say fluke but I believe it was God's will . God bless Tee
Tee Murphy thank you so much for sharing with me these tips! aww and thank you God bless you too x
Dephne Madyara on a side note ...if you are ever in the Toronto area, hit me up. Maybe we can do a shoot. www.Teeography.com ;)
+Teeography Studios oh I live in Toronto too! 😊
Your hair is exactly like mine! I'm so glad I found your videos. I get so frustrated with my tangles. Most people think my hair is long but I would love to achieve your length. I am maybe 4 inches away and I am having the hardest time getting there. I rip my hair and then when the ends are bad I cut 2 inches to make it look better. I am addicted to cutting.
I was scared for the LONGEST to put heat on my hair, but I did it around this time last year. How I straightened it (and it got amazingly straight) was that I used the stretch from an old curlformers set. When the curls go flat, it looks almost completely straight. Just to reinforce the straight look, I go over it with a flat iron. It works well. I was able to keep it like that for a week or two. I eventually put water on my hair to get it back to normal because I missed my curl.
Chicoro says her hair grows in a V shaped pattern. The middle back grows first then the sides catch up.
For tangles I just started using a detangler by Mane 'N Tail. My hair is combination 4 b-c and this detangler seems to melt the tangles as I comb through. It also worked for my aunt's hair that tangles into a mess as soon as water touches it. I paid $4.50 for 12 oz. I will try your threading method because of the way you do the ends of your hair to protect them. Great videos - thank you.
You have such beautiful hair. I wish I had the amount of patience a delicate care with my hair as you do with yours. I get too frustrated sometimes. :-/
aww i do too sometimes ;-) thank you xx
Hey Dephne, it is called a "Fine Toothed Comb". Great job on being gentle & careful with your hair! That's why it is so long & beautiful!
You can try using the Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie before applying the raw shea..I have type 4 hair and I find that it helps with my detangling and styling
Gorgeous locks! Im happy to find another 4C guru
Such a beautiful,gentle spirit, I always look forward to your uploads :D
Bea-U-ti-ful!!! I recently did the "big chop" and I am patiently waiting for it to grow back (i am rocking box braids until it is at a length that I can really work with)...your videos are sooooo helpful and inspiring... Thank you!
i love love love your hair............and your videos
Shea Butter love love that stuff and it is the best heat protectant I usually mix a little leave-in conditioner with it before blow drying
My suggestions would be to do deep a moisturizing deep conditioner before threading also moisturize with a water based leave in (i add apple cidear vinegar to my leave in to lower the ph and close the cuticle). I would also detangle with a denman after unraveling. My last suggestinf would be to use a tension comb and a thinner cermaic/tourmaline iron.
Wow thanks for sharing, next time you straighten I don't know If you could do a video showing how you maintain it at night as well as like an update video of how it kept over the week... But yeah I'm so inspired by your journey.
Looks really nice! You're hair is beautiful and so are you!
You have grown your hair out beautifully. I don't think you need to cut that much off, 3 to 4 inches. Nice job.
Try only deep detangling your hair by rinsing out conditioner you have slept in overnight, with a wide tooth comb under a filtered full force shower. Your hair must have moisture. Try mixing your shea butter with pure argan oil. Eventually your hair will be trained to not tangle even when fully shrunken if you never try to detangle when dry. Still be gentle, let the force of the water and conditioner do the work. God bless you. I was co washing and leaving conditioner in my 4c hair way before there was a term co-wash. Oh and you and your hair are very beautiful, God Bless you.
I'm not sure if you are concerned about product build up on your hair, but it's probably why your hair is not able to straighten with the flat iron. The key to straight hair is very clean air. The oil you are using can be used a lot more sparingly. you can always use a lighter oil after using your shea butter, if it absorbed it a little the next day. You could of just used a blow dryer with a comb attached to get the look you achieved. if your hair is damaged set flat iron below 300. If its healthy and thick/corse you can go up to 350-400. I go all out on my hair when I straighten it. I like bone straight hair. I blow dry with a styling cream, then I press with a heavy comb( my hair is thick so I need a professional hot comb)-before I flat iorn, I put a light oil(Shea Moisture Jamaican black Castro oil, Nubian Heritage Indian Hemp & Tamanu. I'm done. I don't touch my hair with a flat iron again for the next couple of days. Then I'm done with straight hair for a couple of months. Your hair is beautiful and what ever working for you do it. God Bless!
i braid and detangle my hair while wet after co washing and let it dry 80 percent then blow dry it with warm heat while using a heat protectant then flat iron my hair at a very low temperature while doing the chase method with a brush or round brush( but make sure you detangle again before using the round brush)
it may be an old video, but still great as the others. God bless you and I hope u really keep doing what works for you as many of these comments are rather rude. u have a beautiful spirit and ur hair is lovely!
Finally Finally Finally... someone with my hair texture. That has tangles. Lol... Thanks for your videos and hard work!
Dee, well done , mwana mai, am really inspired with your videos ,i will follow every step you have shared .urambe wakadaro.if you still have videos when your hair was one years old please do post .mwari wakuitire nyasha
Maybe you could try the boar bristle brush or paddle brush method glam twins have a video
Thank you sis i will check it out
Use chi oil, I don't have 4c hair but my friends does and she says use chi oil and make sure you get a really good flat iron. Also try one that is 400 degrees or possibly more. The chi oil helps protect your hair and makes it really soft
Ok this is pretty brilliant, I had the same exact experience and I am going to try a roller set method my friend talked about and I will send you a message. I had to subscribe and that is my first time ever. Love the videos. We have the exact same hair. Amazing
Thank you, Dephne! I always enjoy your videos! Your hair is lovely!
Great tutorial:) I've got my hair in African threads right now, aha; thanks for sharing! x
You are such a beaut!! Because of your channel ii will be trying African threading in a few weeks, I'm excited lol love your hair, and warm spirit :) Xo
I usually do a twist out just about every night before I go to bed and I use cantu leave in conditioner and Africa's best Shea butter to moisturize my tips before I sap it with a scarf. In the morning I just unwrap my scarf and detangle the twist and it becomes curly and has more volume that way for me
Omg, at first I didn't think this was 4c like mine but now I see it is exactly like mine. I'll never be able to grow it at such a length. I'll never have that much patience. Nice to know it's possible though.
Hey! You did a great job! Patience is key! But let me give you my golden piece of advice, unless you know your hairdresser really well and he/she understands your desire on keeping the length of your hair: Don't team it professionally! You're doing just fine by yourself. Xx
I have never seen 4c hair this long an beautiful wow thanks
Have you considered using the denman brush to detangle? I find it easier to use than a comb. Excellent videos by the way :).
So helpful. I thought there was something wrong with me cus I couldn't do the "chase" method Lol. I guess it just doesn't work for me. I also thought there was something wrong with me when it took me over four hours to straighten it(not taking my time and not being careful). haha. Thank you!
OmG! 1) LOVE your channel. Just subscribed and I grew up in Africa too so I love the accent. Anyway, you should avoid detangling your hair when it is dry. You should use a leave in conditioner or something. It reduces breaking and thinning significantly. [been natural for 4 years now!]
Soo beautiful. I'm going to try the yard method soon. Thanks for this video.
I love your 4c hair I just subscribed to you. I love the way you take care of it I have 4b and I hate the tangles put I think I'm going to try the yarn method.
Your length and your hair! So beautiful!
Grape seed oil has a 400deg smoke point, which indicates boiling/burning...
Great video and thanks for sharing. What is your new regime now that you are wearing your natural hair out more? How will you incorporate threading?
Have you tried apply one n' only argan oil on damp hair, detangling & combing with a wide tooth comb, then brushing, and then threading. I'm Cameroonian and my mum does this to my hair and when I take it down in the morning it is silky straight.
I get those knots too when I do a bantu knot out. Even after detangling it on wash day the day before. LOL, gah, we just gotta accept it isn't it? :P
Watching this in 2017 and I'm IN LOVE with your hair! Can't wait for my 4c to reach such a length too. :)
you also could use the new tms system from beautiful textures before heat styling or flat ironing it has pretty good reviews check it out n if your interested I have one ... I could send it to you
african threading straightens out african hair a lot. and the smaller the sections, the better it works. however, it takes long (in my opinion) and thats why i've never gotten around to doing it a second time. i loved the texture afterwards, but to me it wasnt worth it. i use curl formers now and that too, isnt nice with my time- its nice afterwards, but the trade-off isnt worth it
you are so beautiful with your 4c natural hair,know you make me wanna have 4c hair all over my head,good job,God bless
I'm definitely going to try this method. Thanks for this vid you are gorgeous x
I might try grapeseed oil next. Any suggestions please.
I have to subscribe. Your hair is so beautiful
Christina Banks aww thank you and thank you for subscribing Blessings and love x
+Christina Banks she's also very gentle with her hair. if you notice she takes her time when using the small comb
I got 4s hair too I know how the chase method can be annoying this is why I'm using a boar bristle brush when I flat iron my hair so much better
You remind me so much of Sade the singer. I think that your are so beautiful and your accent is wonderful too!!!😊
i think for a better turn out, instead of putting shea butter on each individual section, section off your hair in four sections and apply a small amount of shea butter to each section. brush and comb it through. braid up the sections, and flat iron your hair THE NEXT DAY using the boar bristle method. you wont have as much stringy texture.
I loooooove your hair sis :D :D its so beautiful :D
Aww gorg Daphine
Thank you Tania, we are still waiting for new videos ma'am ;-)
Soon ! Just workin out technical difficulties lol
your hair is exactly like mine!!! I have hope! You look lovely by the way!
black signature had the best you can find them I. amazon for like 25 dollars
Wow! This is inspiring! Thanks for sharing this! Now I have to find out how you got your hair so long and how long it took to get it that long!
Your hair looks great! I want to try your method over the summer (instead of box braids). Where did you get your wigs from your earlier videos?? They are very natural/pretty
thank you, on amazon search Lajay in t4/30 ;-)
Dephne Madyara Thanks, can you straighten the wig? I also love the straight wig in one of your other videos - is it the same one?
They are both synthetic, so not really, the straight one is called Bently in colour om27/30/613 ;-)
Dephne Madyara Thanks for your help : )
Looks good! ur hair is super long. u my inspiration for my haor journey
she's definitely inspiring.
I would think that the oil in the shea butter would fry/cook your hair when used with a flat iron as a heat protectant.
you should probably wash and condition right before you flatiron.. then detangle your whole head while blow drying on low heat.. saves time and you don't have to put in much effort.. it would definitely be faster than 6 hours.
I usually spray my hair with water before I detangle it and it really helps me detangle my hair so you should try that, maybe it'll work for you too:)
Do you detangle on dry hair only once its been stretched by threading? Or do you ever detangle on damp hair? Also, have you ever used protein conditioner/treatment to strengthen your hair? Great videos by the way, please keep them coming.
Thank you so much for your videos you really are an inspiration, thank you and God bless
You are my hair icon. Your hair is so lovely. I've got type 4C hair and its about just past my collar bone. How long do you think it will take to get to bra-strap (or waist-unlikely) length. That's my goal for this year.
I've official decided not use hairdressers because the last two wrecked my hair and although I didn't loose length they caused a lot to just fall out. I some how got a 50:50 split of hair from my parents ( one is soft and thin 4C and the other thicker and darker 4C strands.)They are peppered relatively evenly so when the finer ones fell out most ppl didn't notice but in the shower is was like a horror film.
What your advise in dealing with the thickness difference now that the other hair is growing back. I made the decision to stop relaxing in 2006 but an annoying hairdresser who was not meant to perm it did so in 2010. Maybe I'm a bit impatient but I really want to have glorious long hair like yourself and stop having to put in braids.
funmbimoti aww thats so sweet hun and humbled thank you! Im so sorry to hear about your hair dresser experience o dear! I would advise to cut off bit by bit the thin ends as it grows out and to have lots of patience lol! You will find that the less you are focused about the length the more it will grow longer.. lastly to eat healthy foods, greens, fruits and drink lots of water, this will make such a difference overall an din the long run. Any issues let me know hun have a great hair journey! x
whenever I use heat protectant spray with silicon to straighten my hair it feels like cardboard. I also tried the shea butter after watching this video but It felt like my hair was burning
try the tension method when blow drying
Beautiful !
hey the reason your hair got wavey is because you rolled it tightly Just after you flat ironed it. Next time either pin i to the side or roll it Very losely.
hope that helps
x
Your hair turned out beautiful 😀❤
How do you style your hair under wigs?
My grandmother used to lock me between her legs to "wrap" my hair (as it was called) now people pay for it. :-)
My hair grows so so slow but hopefully i'll get there one day before i'm old and grey.
U need to invest in some hair scissors. Those will cause split ends.
Thank you sis i will do for sure :-)
I doubt you can get it where you are but look up the Beautiful Textures Texture Management System, there are lots of reviews here on YT. I LOVE the stuff I am 4b and I tell you it cuts flat ironing time by more than half and it helps with reversion. Check it out!
Thank you!!
