I fell off when my dad got sick this summer - that’s why I eventually started TikTok because it was way easier to be consistent. I’m coming back though! 🤍🤍
If you're a str8 natural, heat damage doesnt matter. The more you press it, the straighter it will be and it wont revert as fast. Heat damage only matters if you want to go back and forth btwn str8 and curly. As long as you're str8, you're good
hi! even though I wear my hair straight majority of the time I like my hair to be at optimal health…if you look at my thumbnail for this vid you can see even though my final result looks great the ends are somewhat see through and less dense/voluminous. but totally agree for some who wear it straight, the natural texture doesn’t matter! 🤍
@@gensai93 well, of course it is. That goes without saying. Keeping heat on the hair defeats the purpose of having healthy hair! You have to have some pretty resilient hair to constantly apply heat w no ill effects. I'm just saying it won't look as bad as long as it's straight. When it's curly, it looks terrible
I'm a professional cosmetologist and I suggest that if you are a staight natural, having straight ends really doesn't matter. Your hair is healthy and breakage free. Your bonds are just loosened. I'm a straight natural and my hair looks a lot like yours. If you like to wear your curls sometimes, it would matter. I wouldn't stress out too much about it.
I tried the straight natural thing but I feel as tho it made my ends thin out so I decided to just go back natural and to do silk presses sometimes only. BUT I was going to the Dominicans to straighten it and that may have been why my ends was thinning out.
You def don’t have to chop off heat damage. I’ve been a straight natural for years and go through periods of severe heat damage. As long as you trim and treat your hair properly it’ll grow itself out. The key is to figure out when you need moisture/protein
Hi Lisa do you have a video comparing the way you silk pressed (higher heat, not enough heat protectant, multiple passes) that lead to the heat damages ends? Versus the way you silk press now that is saving you from further damage? Thanks!
I also had heat damaged hair and I refused to do the big chop! If your open to trying new products K18 was really good in helping my hair. Only thing is I wouldn’t do a silk press because I find the leave in conditioner leaves a coating on my hair that made my silk press not as silky. And if it don’t work for you take it back lol 😂
😂 I’m gonna try that out! I’ve been using aphogee which I love but I’m always down to try something that’s worked for someone else! thank you for watching 🤍🤍
Do you silk press your hair weekly? I love your videos so much, I am trying to transition from relaxer to heat training and your tips have been helping a lot
I’m so happy you find them helpful 🥹 thank you for being here 🤍 right now I’m washing once a week - mainly because I work out quite a bit and I have to lol. By day 6/7 my hair is DIRTY + tangled!
thank you so much!! I say “about” 360 in the video because I have the Babyliss Pro that has a numeric dial vs digital reading so I can’t tell you guys precisely what temp 😩 but according to the key in the manual it’s about 360 lol 🤍
It it healthy to do acv rinse every time you shampoo? Itsnt that a lit of acid? And do you bring your ph levels back down by sshsmpooing after the acv rinse? I think you would like it if you cjop the hest damage
hi! It’s been very beneficial for my hair but everyone should do what works best for them. All the research I’ve done has said it can be done as often as once a week. ACV is acidic and this is why it’s important to dilute it. I do roughly a 1:8 ratio (ACV:water) to dilute it. + ACV rinses actually help to balance out your hairs pH! Diluted it’s roughly a pH of 5 whereas most hair products are closer to 7!
I have 13yr old locs. I do this to my hair to clean the inside of the locs. I was wondering if loose haired naturals would benefit from acv rinses like we do. Heck, I need to do one now!
Oh I love this! I honestly think they’re beneficial for all naturals. I’ve seen such a positive change in my hair since I started doing them consistently. Thank you so much for watching 🤍🤍
Okay I’d say cut it ONLY if you’re not a straight hair natural and like to do natural styles. If you’re trying to build health, DO NOT put heat on your hair weekly. If you’re trying to grow out the straight ends please start protective styling. To get rid of heat damage you limit heat, incorporate more protein, and get a good heat protectant. Bond builders like olaplex could be helpful. You can try clay masks they help with heat damage as well. Your hair looks beautiful though.
Just keep transitioning. Half my hair is damaged from a nasty DIY texlaxer smh. I'm just rocking my weekly presses while it grows out. Vitamins and water helps alot. I focus on moisturizing products and stopped the o.d. on the protein products because that caused more harm than good.
I say do the big chop. That way you don’t have to worry about it and you can just worry about your nee style. And the longer you keep the damage hair it will spread.
thank you + I love this! I have a trim appt coming up but I’m thinking maybe more layers to tackle more of the damaged hair? I’ll def update you guys…ty for watching! 🤍🤍
Don't chop it off. It still looks good. If it were breaking off that would be one thing, but it looks pretty healthy to me. Just because it is straight doesn't mean you have to cut it.
If you’re a straight natural most of the times maybe just clip the ends. I wouldn’t do a big chop just do a cut maybe a bob that way you have your fullness your looking for
@@elleinadasil I am also trying to grow out my heat damaged hair, but I want to wear my hair straight… I’m thinking of relaxing, just bc I think my hair would withstand heat better. I’d be great to not relax my hair and wear it straight mug I’m scared of heat damage…
I know it can seem a bit confusing but heat damage comes from carelessness not the heat itself. as you can see I have a head full of healthy curls under there with the heat damaged hair at the ends + I’ve been silk pressing this entire transition. you can def use heat while growing out your damage it’s just about taking all the right precautions + moving forward with healthy practices. you can def do it! 🤍
I didn’t know you had a RUclips always follow you on tik tok

No damage is still damage

def why 😂
@@elleinadasil Lmao yes I’m so sad because I have to big chop now :(
Just do a little hair cut! Check out my first video and try the protein treatment I use. It helps sooo much!

Agree 100% !! I’m losing a little patience with growing it out but imma keep it going…for now. Lol 😅 Ty for watching! 🤍🤍
Do not cut. Give it lots of love, protein, moisture and protection. 💜💜💜
Thank you for the sweet comment! 🥹🤍 I’m gonna do just that…+ maybe some layers 👀 lol
All here for a straight natural. Looks good to me
thank youuuu! 🤍🤍🤍
Absolutely beautiful. I don't see any "heat damage" . Your hair is in beautiful condition 🎉
aww thank you so so much!! 🫶🏾
Thank you for sharing your journey. You have the most beautiful hair. 💖
thank you!! I’m coming back soon it’s been so long 🤍🤍
Omg! Your hair does not look damage at all!
Hi Lisa do you have a video comparing the way you silk pressed (higher heat, not enough heat protectant, multiple passes) that lead to the heat damages ends? Versus the way you silk press now that is saving you from further damage? Thanks!
I’m coming back to YT within a week or two…I’ll include this! 💓💓
My only question is the hairspray for the roots. I looked it up and since it’s not a heat protectant, won’t it cause damage if being used like one?
It is all up to you! Search your soul and you should receive your answer. Either way, lessons learned, and the results look great!
🥹🤍 love this! Thank you 🤍 Ty for being here!

I would say chop the damage off I know it’s hard, I did it and my hair feels so much better 😉
You did?! Ugh I’m so torn. My next hair appt is in June so I’m gonna decide before then! 🤍🤍
Hey girl no need to chop heat damage unless you want to do fun twist out and braid outs. But if you keep it straight I’d say just leave it. ❤
heyyy!! I’m thinking I may want to do some but idk…I’m so indecisive 😂 thank you for watching 🤍🤍
Try the tymo straightener it’s less damaging
I’ll keep this is mind! I love my Babyliss but if it ever goes out on me this may be an option! Ty 🤍
hiiii guys! should I keep growing my damage out or chop it off 👀
Just keep transitioning. Half my hair is damaged from a nasty DIY texlaxer smh. I'm just rocking my weekly presses while it grows out. Vitamins and water helps alot. I focus on moisturizing products and stopped the o.d. on the protein products because that caused more harm than good.

@@NavyTexan713 that’s not true that’s only if she has split ends she only has heat damage and she can grow that out and gradually cut it
@@ellie5373agreed! 🤍 Ty!
@@NavyTexan713 Ty for watching 🤍
Do you have a lot of breakage with heat damage?
I haven’t! Protein treatments helped me transition long term with minimal breakage. I haven’t been posting here but I’m consistent on TikTok 🫶🏾
The curl pattern is damaged but the hair still have health and beauty! I don’t see a reason to cut it .
I think you’re right! I’m gonna try to be patient 😂🤍
dont cut just trim.
Start with a trim go from there .ur care of ur hair has turn some of it around.if u do cut it,just a few inches will do u.
thank you + I love this! I have a trim appt coming up but I’m thinking maybe more layers to tackle more of the damaged hair? I’ll def update you guys…ty for watching! 🤍🤍

thank youuu! you’re so right. I don’t want it to start breaking but I think I’m a little bored also 😂
Keep growing it out
I am!! I have to get back to posting here but you can keep up with me on TikTok!
Chop it off😊😊
👀😂 I’m thinking about it!
Weekly??? Girlaaaa! Def trim, don’t chop! Xx
I’m on a fitness journey and I work out 3-5 times a week so I have to wash weekly 😩 I’m thinking trim too!! 🤍🤍
If you’re a straight natural most of the times maybe just clip the ends. I wouldn’t do a big chop just do a cut maybe a bob that way you have your fullness your looking for
good idea! I may do some layers! Ty for watching 🤍
Do you consider yourself a straight natural?
Cause even though you say you have heat damage you continue to do silk presses
hi! yes definitely. I think being natural is a huge umbrella…you can wear it curly, straight, locs…but it’s all natural (imo)! 🤍
@@elleinadasil I am also trying to grow out my heat damaged hair, but I want to wear my hair straight… I’m thinking of relaxing, just bc I think my hair would withstand heat better. I’d be great to not relax my hair and wear it straight mug I’m scared of heat damage…

Very pretty.
🥹 thank you!! 🤍
You have heat damage and you still use heat? Did you learn anything😢
