Did my CURLS REVERT after Flatiron? OR HEAT DAMAGE !

[fashionvsmind]

when i close my eyes you kinda sounded like rihanna lol

[laffy]

i respect blackonyx, but dont care for her videos

[flatlanderdot]

My hair naturally has random straight pieces all over it..which is so bizzare. I even buzzed all of my hair off...and sure enough, it grew back in just the same as when I thought the straight was due to a dye job I did. Lame.

[sallycooper54]

I have heat damage. and im not gonna lie i apply alot of heat. I am trying to go natural and I dont want to because i have alot of heat damage in my bangs area and its gonna look really odd with two different textures in my hair. soo what should I do to get my curls back so i can go natural? help me please!

[WatchmyCommercial]

Mizani has a Great Blow Out Video using their Supreme Oil - type Supreme Oil in Action - Coats to Protect from Damage and works great with Flat Irons

[porkchopmeaty]

[crunkid101]

I Need Your Help! I Wanted To Flat Iron My Hair So I Did A Little Section At The Back. It Straightened But I Didnt Like The Way It Looked So I Went To Wet It So It Can Be Curly Like The Rest Of My Hair And Only The Ends And Roots Curled Back To Its Natural State. But As It Started To Dry I Saw That It Was Trying To Curl Back Up But It Didnt Curl All The Way. Do You Know Anything I Can Do To Make It Curly Again? Im 15 And Im Transitioning. So Could You Help Me Please Because Im Really Scared. ):

[eleanore376]

Iabsolutely love your videos but I have a huuge dilemma!I recently straightened my hair and wore it like that for a week and when i washed it the front of my hair was curly but the back was still str8...will my curld come back??:(

[Hazardz09]

OMG didnt know you were in florida.. I knew you looked familiar ... but were you also using your product during this point ?

[sweethoney2219]

i finally straightened my hair yesterday for my one year naptural, and i was really afraid i would have damage and my curls wouldnt come back (i love them so). long story short, I HATED IT. i came home today and washed it out hoping the water would spring my curlies back. overall it looks the same, but idk im still k inda skeptical. probably no damage but just doesnt look the same. oh well im glad you didnt have any damage and your hair is very beautiful

[watch2mefly]

Hard water and too much protein makes 4a/b/c hair unruly. You may need to chelate to get the mineral buildup from the relaxer(which has minerals in it) and hard water. I suffered and also have lost hair because of mineral,chlorine, and protein buildup. Good Luck!

[rozzicheer4you]

Gotta question about the tee shirt that you are wearing in this video,(Rochester all star competition Team)is that a real team?

[pretty11717]

do u know any product to use for heat damage? I have a few straight pieces that won't curl up anymore.

[happilynatural09]

Does straightening your hair loosing your curls, I have 4b/c hair type so my curls are very tight. Also my hair is not as soft as i wanted to be so i am still trying to figure out what work for me. your advise is needed thanks

[Apriluv7779]

Love your hair! Cute you are!

[Apriluv7779]

I'm so afraid to apply any heat to my hair now that I am natural. I fear I will loose my curls.

[kacerlina10]

domgrannie its normal the longer your hair gets the heavyer it gets and the curls will be less kinky !! its normal

[domgrannie]

I have a question about reverting curls. SO, I BC'd in sept and wore wonderful yarn braids for oct and nov and then I took them out....My hair grew a lot, but now its not as curly as it was. Is that normal or did the yarn braids ruin my curl?

[ishallbemysquishy]

i'm new to natural hair (transitioning). what is clarifying?

[monicajoi]

@ishallbemysquishy Clarifying is washing hair so all product residue is removed. This usually involves leaving the hair "squeaky" clean. Squeaky clean means all oils have been stripped from the hair,this should be avoided regularly becuz it dries out the hair. :)

[ishallbemysquishy]

ohhhh, okay. thanks!

[Apriluv7779]

clarifying is using a shampoo that will strip the products from your hair. Be careful with shampoos. Use a natural clarifying shampoo that does not have SLS (Sodium Laurel Sulfate). I suggest using Qhemet Biologic Wheatgrass shampoo. The be sure to deep condition with a moisturizing deep conditioner for at least a half hour with heat.

[babymck09]

People's heads are sooo different, When I was younger and didn't perm my hair, my mom hot combed my hair every 2-3 weeks and my hair NEVER lost it's texture and that bad boy was very very HOT! Actually it would revert back once the humidity hit my hair. My cousin's hair had heat damage after doing a hot comb session. I go to a pro before i straighten my hair myself. That is another problem as well "kitchen beauticians". If you know what you are doing, do it, if you are unsure, DON'T!

[brinny776]

I agree. My hair never suffered heat damage after a comb and press.

[whatisavail09]

aww your curls are so cute:D

[AshleyxxxBaby]

i see you have hair mayonnaise ugh that stuff smells 2 me does it help your hair because if it does i wanna know so i can use it again ill just deal with the smell

[mickeyfan08]

hahah u do flatirn your hair...

[soursop]

my firends here did multiple presses and has not snaped back. So she has the weird straight strand, which is probably damaged.

[shelkev1]

I've seen some videos on here that suggests trying a beer rinse to regain your curls. I think prettydimples was one I watched. Anyways just search beer rinse, hope it works for her.

[jordanlne08]

What shampoo do you use to clarify your hair?

[BlackOnyx77]

i have a clrifyign condish from VO5 also to clarify i do my Apple Cider Vinger rinse, or my baking soda scalp scrub

[jordanlne08]

Cool thanks!

[peachesntcream]

my hairs about your length .. i cut all the perm and red hair dye out of it so now its just natural.. i no this is a dumb question but how long do you think it will take to become just about shoulder length and what hairstyles should i do to achieve that? (i have good hair genes in my blood mums hairs past hair down her back!)

[BlackOnyx77]

im not sure, u just have to make sure u treat ur hair well, and keep it healhty and u should be able to eventually achieve ur desired look n length

[pabritova]

@peachesntcream lmfaooo

[houseofpepsi]

use garnier fructis sleek and shine line to combat frizziness i'm a natural w/ type 4b hair and it really helps when i straighten my hair

[SxExYKiSsEs08]

your natural curls are awesome! my hair doesnt curl up like that at all... i doubt its heat damaged cause i havent gotten it flat ironed or pressed in.... a good 7 or 8 months is there anything i can do to define my curls more?

[kiera843]

yes moisturize moisturize. Maybe you should do conditoner treatments. like set your hair with conditioner like 2-3 days per week and let it sit for about 30mins til an hour and moisturize til you cant no more..lol

[kmaloney1973]

I have the same problem. I have two different textures. The back of my hair is soft and curls are popping everywhere. The front of my hair just laugh at the fact that I'm even trying.

[mpenny226]

Maybe the damage that some people get and the lack of curl come from straightening often. Your hair looks good! You look like you've lost more weight too.

[BlackOnyx77]

i soo di thanks for noticing OMG thanks, and ur soo right

[angeeqt]

I straighten my hair last week just to check length and clip ends, I immediately showered and co-washed and it snapped back, lmbo

[BlackOnyx77]

lol i sopo dont blame ya glad urs came back also

[kinkynpretty]

u have really great skin,do u mind sharing the name of your body lotion/cream..................­..thanks

[BlackOnyx77]

thanks, umm check my videos night time skin routine and also daytime skin routine ,...that snot exact title but if u type blackonyx77 skin on here u shud find them hope that helps

[apatte4975]

yeah i think i look funny with straight hair now too

[kylahsmom1]

Your curls are poppin'! I think the key is that you do not staighten it often and you took precautions...I am thinking about flat ironing mine for Thanksgiving...it has not been straight in 2 years..

[apatte4975]

yes exact...as long as you don't straighten too often and on extremely heat high you should be fine

[louel83]

Your curls look great!

I still wouldnt have the guts to do it though, haha.

Looks like you lost weight ma, you're looking good!

[BlackOnyx77]

aaaw Thanks, i think its from my new job runnin on my feet 40 to 56 hrs back and forth, its crazy but thanks for noticing now i just need to adjust my eating habits and maybe ill lose more

[mlc0524]

Fabulous results!

I was wondering, what store (or type of store) did you purchase your hair mayonase (deep conditioner treatment) from? i tried my local hair store and wal mart...but didn't see it!

Thanks! :)

[BlackOnyx77]

[cynthiarf]

[Vockelzlikebow]

[SexyLeo84]

[foreverdesiree]

[Phenomenalwon]

Love Corrine Bailey Rae....check her CD out if you haven't.

[senationalliv]

It looks so healthy. I really like your shrunken fro!

[BlackOnyx77]

thanks

[drroberson4]

May I ask what type of clarifying shampoo you use?

[BlackOnyx77]

sure, i didnt use claifying shampoo i clarified this time with baking soda, also sometimes do Apple cider vinegar...also used clarifying condish from VO5

[Makalo314]

I'm loving the fact that there are so many sista's on YT going natural. I've been natural since 1995 so my hair is sooo used to being natural. However, my hair has been trained for so long...even when I was relaxed my hair was healthy & long, my mom was a cosmetologist & did my hair 4 so long. I straighten my hair sometimes but I've never worried about my curls reverting. I am really proud of all you natural sista's! Keep it kinky!!! Just wanted 2 show some love since I'm a natural hair vet! Lol

[melind757]

I.m glad you did'nt damage your hair it still looks good.i'm still a little scared of it cause if my hair don't revert back i'm gonna be upset.

[drksista81]

Girl, your curls are lookin fab in this vid.

[chawntay]
