I’m finally making the switch after years of being natural. I’m tired of shrinkage and knots 🤦🏾♀️😂
Yay! Congrats on your new journey!
Yes please!!! Would love to see a heat training hair journey video from when you were a child until now!
You got it!
I’ve learned finding the temp that’s right for ur hair is really important. I’m on this journey now. I use 375 and i can put heat on my hair multiple times that week with no issues…and i think heating the hair consistently is part of the training…but one time over 425 and I’ll see heat damage. I consider my whole head loosening over time and handling humidity better heat training…i think a patch of straight hair in my curly hair is heat damage.
Yes! Finding the right temp for your hair is key! I would just be careful with putting heat on your hair multiple times in the same week; I did that during high school and my hair seemed to take it just fine, and one day it was like it just started breaking non-stop and boom my hair was super short. Just make sure to keep a close eye on your hair and the moment you see anything start to change consider changing/adding to your routine!
I feel like I can’t grow my hair in its natural state. Too many knots. Too much work and too little time 🥺😭. I’m seriously considering heat training.
That's the same issue I had when I tried to go 100% natural for a little while. When I went back to heat training and haven't looked back!
@@sierralafaye Definitely giving it a go. I'm on a search for a good hairstylist in my area that will help me get started because I would seriously hate to damage my hair.
I’m so happy that I found your channel!
Aw thanks! I'm happy you're happy!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! So many good information!
You are so welcome!
Yes to the journey!
I just uploaded it!
I tired to talk about heat training to a black hairstylist and she was like "Uh ? What are you talking about" lol I'm in France + not in Paris so first of all bglack hair salon are so rare... And they know like box braid, perm and relaxer... Thats all... ><
You deserves soo much subscribers :D ! Im here since this summer i think or maybe a little sooner i cant remember and since you are def my favorite heat training channel :3
ONCE SONE awww thanks so much! Ur so sweet! And I remember when I was living in Spain it was nearly impossible for me to find something to do hair so I know many def wouldn’t know what heat training is
Ahahah sammmmmeee, je savais même pas que ça existait et je cherche depuis plusieurs mois une alternative au defrisage sans détruire complétement tous les efforts que j'ai fait sur mes cheveux naturels. Je pense que ça arrivera en France avec 3-4ans de retard comme le mvt naturel qui était aux usa depuis 2013 env. (du moins quand j'ai découvert) et qui vient à peine d'arriver en France. Lol regardes tu as déjà 1an d'avance sur moi
I'm thinking about becoming a straight haired natural too I'm only going to straighten my hair once every 3 months but not straighten it in the summertime I'm also going to trim my hair once every 6 months also I feel like I've been pulling out more hair wearing it curly so I want to try something new for a change and hopefully it does good for my hair
Thank you so much for this info
Glad it was helpful!
Yes please! Would love a vid on your heat trained hair journey a child 😊
You got it!
Great info. Thanks much!!!
Thanks mommy-o
Awesome video and great tips. Great start on my journey. I can't wait to see the heat styling tools video because I need to get them soon. Currently my hair is in a protective style.
Excellent information Sierra nice military jacket, it will be nice to see your childhood pictures. Stay cool always, a" bientot.
I think I got my last perm in 2014 I wanna say, only because I didn't feel like putting it in my hair and I felt that I could get my hair just as straight with just a straightener. From then to 2019 I guess I was heat trained but I didn't know that was a thing. I would wash and straighten my hair once a month and I trimmed only when I thought I had damage or if I could see split ends. Lol I remember when I seen my first split end and I was amazed because I didn't think it would actually look like a end split in two but It did. I don't know what I expected it to look like. Anyways, I was heat trained for all those years and my hair did get to armpit length which is the longest it has ever been and I was barely taking care of it. I didn't even know about deep conditioners either. Now though I've been staying away from heat and have cut off my heat trained hair, wash and DC weekly or bi-weekly and already my hair is back to armpit length. Granted I transitioned for over a year and didn't big chop at all but I feel like my hair is flourishing more now than it was back when my hair was straight. Now I wasn't really taking care of it back then but I'd had straight hair for as long as I could remember and even when I was going to a salon as a teen my hair still barely touched my shoulders. Now I feel like I can attain my goal of waist length in maybe a year or two if I don't have any set backs. I also only straighten my hair twice a year now for a length check and to get a good trim of my ends. I struggled with keeping my hair moisturized when it was straight but I don't have that problem now. I do however like watching videos like these to learn from should I ever consider going back though I don't miss having straight hair at all, well at least now that I've embraced my shrinkage. 😁
Thanks so much for sharing your journey! I sometimes contemplate going to my 100% natural hair & it's amazing to hear how much your hair is flourishing without the heat. I know when I tried to wear my hair in its natural state I had so much breakage and I went right back to straightening my hair. However, if I ever decide to try to go back down that road again, I'll def think about your journey to help encourage me :)
This was great! Thank you loads! Did you do protective styles a lot to grow your hair heat trained?
aisha brown thanks 😊 and I did especially when I was first starting to learn how to properly do it myself!
I bought a texturizer and found heat training videos….so now I’m back in the process of what I want to do
Yay! I’m glad you’re getting on track to what you desire!
What do you when you want to go swimming or it's very humid outside? Or you get stuck in the rain? Also do you straighten it right after washing it ?
Great questions! I usually always straighten it right after I wash it, it's rare that I'll wear my hair in its "natural" state. And when I want to go swimming, I go swimming, usually my hair will be in a protective style when I know in advance, but if not i'll still go swimming with my natural hair and just wash it afterwards. When it's very humid outside I've learned that the keratin treatment for me is amazing from keeping my hair from frizzing too much!
Off topic: where did you get your camouflage jacket!? And what’s the brand name of it?
Anyway, I’m thinking about heat training my hair. I thought about it in the past but now really considering it…been watching your videos today so I can get familiar with your process. You’re hair is nice!
I actually got the jacket from Zara! But it was a couple years ago :( My sister stole it *rolls eyes*
& thanks so much for the support. If you come across any questions feel free to reach out!
Hi Sierra, thanks for the tips, I have fine high density hair with relaxed ends but 4c resistant roots. Because my hair is fine I prefer blow-drying over straightening to maintain volume, could hair be heat trained with a dryer on a low/cooler setting or is a straightener and/or high heat dryer essential?
Hey! So heat training is essentially using heat to alter the curl pattern to become loser, so if you find the dryer on a low/cooler setting to do the trick for you, then you may not need the higher heat!
@@sierralafaye perfect thank you so much your videos remind me so much of Sistawithrealhair, she was also a heat trained natural with gorgeous hair!
I would love an update on this. I use a blow dry brush to heat train my hair. I don’t often flat iron…and for me high heat blow drying is a must i don’t see how it would be possible to get smooth hair on a low heat setting….if it worked for u let me know!
This was a really good question! I was wondering the same thing
I had natural hair for over 5 years but my hair is hard to manage so I wanna start heat training it and see if it becomes more softer and easier. Please do a hair journey video so I can have some type of result or Guide. Thanks for these videos!
FashionFlash I def will! And hopefully you decide to go on the journey! Your hair will def be more manageable
How do you determine a good stylist to go to when starting your journey? I’m having a hard time 😩
I'll def do a video about this!
I commented on your last video about starting my journey....let’s just say that blow dry session didn’t go well at all lol. I’m gonna try again in two weeks and keep using your tips. Thanks for the videos.
OMG what happened?? Maybe I can help!
Sierra LaFaye my hair is waist length and thick and tangles super easy so I couldn’t get the blow dryer and the brush to go through after I did the tension method. I ended up fighting with my hair and it was a knotted mess.
So if I heat train is my natural curl pattern gonna change?
Yes! over time the curl will loosen
I'm thinking I'm going to a straight natural soon. In your opinion will a twistout be possible once my hair is heat trained? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I want to have big hair sometimes too.
@@blacknappyandproud3864 a flat twist out is possible as long as there’s some form of curl
i always wanted to have straight hair, but i hate perms, i didn't know much about heat training. I have a lot of trouble with moisture however, when my hair is straight, it gets so dry and brittle, even though it's sleek and fluffy, i dont even use a blow dryer, i use big 3 inch hair rollers to stretch my natural hair before i straighten it, yet it's still crispy. What would you recommend?
Have you tried doing a blow out on your hair before you flat iron it, that will def make a huge difference in your straight hair results. I’ve learned that the secret to a good silk press is the blow dry process.
@@sierralafaye unfortunately i have, 😞 the reason i pointed out that i dont use it it because, at least for me, a blow dryer makes it worse.... Actually i haven't tried to do it on the cool setting so, I'll just try again, thank you for your time you took to reply ❤️
I kinda figured it out, today i straightened my hair, and i tried to put grease in it thinly, just enough to thoroughly coat my hair. Oils and greases are NOT moisture, they are sealents, but i find that grease has helped to keep the moisture out of my dry straight hair and keep it that way. Grease has helped so much with how crispy and dry my straight hair was without it, and im also finding it great when my hair is curly. (I have high porosity, once dyed, 4a hair, bra strap length, fine strands with normal hair density)
@@xavierrestrelm9349 Omg that makes a lot of sense! So glad you were able to figure something out!
Is it ok to straighten the hair twice a week ?
Chile I live in Nigeria we don't have any 'specialist ' here no education or licence is needed to do hair. RUclips is the closest I can get to being with a specialist.
Yal have those magic fingers! lol

Are you still using differin. You skin looks great🌺
Aw thanks, I haven't, i'll be doing an updated skin video shortly!
Will heat trained hair grow ?
Yep
Mine has!
This is just heat damage....
B. Natural thanks for your comment!
@Sierra LaFaye way to be classy 😊
@@mia4resto *ignorant* lmao y'all funny
She’s right though. It is damage. But her hair is flourishing and beautiful. Personally, when my hair was heat trained, I couldn’t grow it past my shoulders. And I was only letting my stylist do it every two weeks and was very gentle with my hair. My strands are just too fine to withstand the damage. This won’t work for everyone, but if it works for some people then cool.
kdesi23 every two weeks is too much. every month and stretching with heatless styles and deep conditionig/protien treatments every 3 months will help you retain length.
