So using high heat regularly is better than relaxing ? No I don’t think so! It’s a quick way to burn your hair out.
That’s a myth..do some research….
They just had an article on this very site saying too much heat will permanently damage your hair so you should treat straightening as a treat and only do it like twice a year.
Exactly! Damage is damage. People kill me with this kind of mess. You can’t tell me having to flatiron several times a week is “better” than applying relaxer once every few months. Your curls are gonna be straight eventually either way, from frying ’em, or relaxing them. Smh…
Too many passes. 7 to 8 root passes and 4 to 5 long passes…wtf
I used to do something similar it was a protein Thermal conditioning process and I remember how many passes she would do on my head and I would just cringe like this can’t be good. Needless to say I don’t do that anymore.
What is the product she was using? She never showed what it was or where to purchase it at?
What is the creamy stuff?? A different kind of perm?? Just saying
I counted 11 root passes. That’s just a bit too excessive for me.
Some steps are missing? Why did she have gloves on? Was there a relaxer type solution applied? The hair looked as if it was flat ironed. Her hair is beautiful. I would live to see the entire process. THE WHOLE AMOUNT OF TIME FROMM START TO FINISH. I KNOW IT TOOK MORE THAN 4 HOURS….
I seen videos and reached out the stylist who do this work. It looks great but I’m too fascinated with my curls to go permanently straight. Sorry not interested and I heard it’s pricey. Plus it takes hours to do. I may as well get my hair braided
You only burn your hair out using a hot comb If you dont know what you are doing. There is a trick to the trade. Its better than putting a chemical in your hair. Its all in the age old technique of black folks
This is a chemical!!! Why do you think she has on gloves! Because it contains thioglycolate, which is a chemical!!!
Will her hair revert back to her natural wavy pattern?
Nope
It’s reconstructing the hair. Changing from whatever pattern to straight.
Thanks but no thanks
