Thank you so much for the details and step-by-step. I have been looking for a good, easy to do way to try and i am so excited to try now that I have seen how you recommend! This will be my first time blowing out and straightening after a year and a half of being natural :)
just wanted to stop by and say I had no intentions of trying to blow dry and flat iron my hair but after watching this I was able to do so effortlessly... I can't believe how much my hair has grown even thought ive cut it many times... this journey can be discouraging at times but your videos are really helpful to a newbie like me..thanks!
I don't know if you'll see this comment or not but before i say this i have biracial hair and i know different techniques work for different people but i was told by a hair dresser that putting heat protectant on right before flat ironing can cause "bubbles" in the hair shaft and can actually boil your hair...i used to do the same thing never had an issue but switching ot his advice i found that it turns out just as well, have u experimented w/ that?
Excellent video. How long did it take you to get the comb chasing method down. I tried it once but was unsuccessful. Also, how long does it take to flat iron your whole head?
Wow I have learned so much through this video, because I have natural hair & try to use different processes on flat ironing it. I never tried the rat tail comb process. So I will try this soon!
You are soooo inspiring to me. I try to follow everyone of your videos to monitor your progress. You are such an inspiration. Please keep up the great work. What products are you currently using? I know that the Giovanni Direct Leave in is a staple :)
LOVE it.. i prob commented on this once before... it deserves another one *clap hands* to my hair twin :) im about to make two years in Feb 2012 too whoot! whoot!
hi i have been natural for all my life .... i wear braids alot but i am givin it a break reali difficult cuz i cnt comb my natural all i do is comb it in one and bun it kinda wanna stop with that ....how cud i style my hair.....ps wat products do u use in ur hair to make it grow oh by the way i live in jamaica
love all your videos, what products are you using on your hair because your hair have grown a WHOLE lot during the last 2 years? Tnx for all the btiful hair style on your chanel
Thanx 4 the great tutorial! The back of my hair is extremely hard for me to flatiron out (stubborn curls lol) but I'm going to try ur tips and the tresemme heat tamer spray!
Please Help.... So I am about 2yrs natural and I have only been keeping my hair strighted and flat ironed I recently decided that I didn't want to get locks but I wanted to just do natural styles. Now I have alot of heat damage any tips to add in reverting my curl pattern and helping with the breakage? Thanks so much be blessed
I have a question for you.. I have been natural for 5 1/2 months and every time I flat iron my hair it holds a smoke smell. Temp too low it doesnt st8n and too high I smell LOL. I have tried hair fresheners and I hate the smell of those. Willing to try anything else though. I have really, REALLY kinky hair. I can blow dry it with out getting that smell its just the flat ironing. I have a grey Jibere tormaline series flat iron that I LOVE and bought 2 years ago.
Everytime I get a little frustrated with my curls and think of relaxing my hair I watch this video so inspiring and in maybe six months or so my hair should be this length which was the length of my hair b4 I went natural I'm 17 months post and two months and 1d days natural thanx for the inspiration
I wear my natural hair, and I've been so afraid to attmept flat ironing my hair. We seem to have simular textures....thanks for the video it was very helpful. : )
You are one of my inspirations for going natural ande your tutorials are ALWAYS very helpful!! Oh and that song is so beautiful I downloaded it today and have had it on repeat since!!
hello, I'm a newbee transitioner, hoping someone will answer my question. I've been seeing a lot of comments on here about the 4a and 4c and what not, I'm illiterate when it comes to learning about natural, so cud someone tell me how I can find out what mine is? or do I have to wait until I am completely natural to find out. Thanku...
OMG you make this look so easy! I actually feel I can go flat iron my hair MYSELF! Something I have never done with all my years of having natural hair! :)
wow your hair has grown out nicely...i am due for a flat iron and a trim but i think im going to braind my hair up for the whole year. Trying to catch you up! :)
@3xquisit3 Okay; thank-you lol. quickest response i've gotten haha. I'm so ignorant when it comes to this natural hair stuff. I'm going off to college in August, I'm ready for a big change. I'm guna do it! But tell me, does BC mean cutting it boy short? How much would I have to cut??
@BabyLeoBaby You're welcome. BC means cutting off all the relaxed hair that's left on your head. Some people wait about a year to BC so that the new growth (natural hair) is at a length that they'd be comfortable with to wear out (that's the hair that's left). So depending on how comfortable you are with hair length, it doesn't matter how much you cut it just matters that you cut off all the perm :) A BC can also mean just a short cut but in her case she cut off the perm.
Kerry, Are you still using the 25 setting on your flat iron? I want to do a blow out/flat iron, but have been kinda scared - lol! Great tutorial btw. Oh, and Happy New Year! :o)
Hi, you said that you had freshly washed and detangled your hair, did you blow dry it a little before you started the main process as your hair is not curly? Does your hair not curl when you wash it or when it is wet?
I tried flat ironing my hair a couple of months ago. It didn't last at all. It would frizz almost immediately. So I would find myself flat ironing over again. I was very concerned about damaging my hair from the constant heat. How often do you flat iron your hair? I also want know what is a good temperature to set the iron on?
hii loved the video also i would love it if u did a product review on what products u use to grow your hair out ssoooooo long i mean its wonderful!!!! i watched u when you had a twa and now i come back on youtube and see this i would really love it if you shared with us ur tips and products THANXz <3
I refuse to subscribe to anyone who refuses to answer a simple question. Just click the comments and scroll down the names you will never see hers. No more virws from me.
i love the fact that you can always have that processed look by flat ironing, then go right back to whatever other non-heated style you desire. I have one question though, if I dont want to do the big cut and simply transition, what do you suggest as hair styles?
@temptedtemptation there are some really good transitioning hair style videos on YT if you type it in; I actually watched a few recently! Easily maintainable styles you could use are braids and cornrows :)
I have never understood why people would come on a video like this and "dislike" it...all she is doing is demonstrating a technique for straightening her hair. She's not making anyone else do it; it's simply her opinion on how it can be done! Anyway...nice video and nice hair growth lol! Peace and blessings :-)
@Ariad08 Honestly, this is just my opinion. But, usually those "Dislikes" are from hardcore naturals who don't agree with straightening afro-textured hair. I'm sort of becoming the type who is against straightening my natural hair altogether but I would never dislike a video like this. It's her hair----not ours.
Hey! Regarding your blow dryer, just look on the opposite side of the controls and it tells you where the controls should be for each setting. It's hard to see so you have to look very closely.
Could you please show a picture on how tight your curls are before you wrap it? I love the fullness you have. But I"m not sure how tight to roll it. THanks alot!
Does the flat iron leave a burned smell on your hair? Last time I tried flat ironing my natural hair it left it smelling really burned no matter what heat protectant I used.
@angelnoir9 Maybe the heat on your flat iron was too hot for your hair type. Maybe you did not use enough heat protectant, try using a good amount of heat protectant and using really small sections before flat ironing. Try roller setting your hair before flat ironing.
@seygra20 That could be it. I have really coarse, kinky hair so if I don't put the flat iron at a high temperature it won't really straighten my hair. But I was thinking of changing the heat protectant I use. I use either Frizz Ease, Chi, or Got 2b but I guess I need to switch now that my hair isn't relaxed anymore.
@angelnoir9 I would suggest using the IC Hair Polisher Heat Protector Straightening Serum. It helps to loosen the curl so that you don't have to use the blow dryer for as long or as hot, which, in turn, makes flat ironing much easier. Give it a try! :)
@jellysofa Thanks for the suggestion. I just bought IC a couple of days ago. I will use it soon and see how it works well and lasts. If it doesn't help, I'll just go to the hair salon to get my hair straightened.
I love your hair! I'm natural as well, it been one year for me and I love my hair. However, I've been wearing a wig as a protective style because it's easier for me. Question...how often do you straighten your hair? Do you do it on a regular basis or just once in a while?
wow. i remember when u first showed your natural hair, i have not watched you in some time, but now i am back and i am proud of you. I need to give myself a hot oil treatment and start taking care of my natural hair
Your hair is absolutely beautiful. I stop by your channel often because you are so inspiring. You're simply stunning and your hair is just as beautiful as ever. Stay gorgeous and keep the vids coming.
Hey Kerry! I first want to say that I LOVE your channels. I was curious as to how you liked the new heat protectant in comparison to the old one. I am preparing to straighten my hair for the first time since going natural, and I am very interested in how to protect it as much as possible. Any advise you can give me is welcomed. Thanks!
So beautiful... I love your videos!!! I am 8 months post-bc and 12 months post-relaxer... & watching your videos inspire me to continue on my natural hair journey...THANKS!!! Keep doing what you do!
I was just wondering if you've ever experienced fuzzy ends with blow drying or flat ironing. If so, what to you suggest. If not, do you know what might be the cause. Thanks in advance!!
does yr flat iron stay all week? do u flat iron weekly?
Been natural for 16mths - flat iron just wont work on my hair!! if it does it puffs up in 30 mins!! so i get a puffy blown out look instead of straight flat iron look - very strange, very annoying!
your hair looks softer though maybe thats why I'm 4a/b.....
@winiver77 hello, maybe it depends on your flat iron, I am an 4c and use cortex flat iron at 430 and I only pass it ontop one time, I found that got2b crazysleek flatiron&blowdry lotion works great! I got it at walgreens, $6.99. I was surprised b/c it isn't geared towards black hair, it states for coarse hair, and it worked on my 4c hair shockingly. at the ends I apply olive oil so it wont dry from heat.
Gorgeous huni!!! I've been natural a year and only flat iron the parts that i leave out of my sew-in. This video has helped me immensely!!! i was worried about losing my natural curl pattern, but when i wet it, it bounces right back. KUDOS
I love how this style came out!!! I recently purchased both the Heat Tamer and the Jilbere flat irons. Can't wait to try them :) I also adore how much of an F'ing lady you are and the curtsy smile at the end of your videos...lol Reminds me of a Betty Boop "Boop ba de doop"...lol Your hair looks amazing! Keep up the good work lady ;o)
its soooo pretty! ill be a year natural in december but i didnt do the big chop. ( i just trim untill all the permed is gone) But you inspire me to keep going! thanks :)
Thanks for the video...your ends turned out so smooth...not sure what I'm doing wrong but my ends never come out smooth...I even tried the chasing the comb w/the flat iron method. Any suggestions?
love it so healthy looking i'm about to flat iron my hair right now and i just needed some tips i have that same heat spray used it when i was relaxed i haven't flat ironed in months i just want to do a length check and a new look
Great job taking care of your hair! It is soooo gorgeous! Your videos are very informative and easy to follow! God bless you on your journey and thanks for sharing!
You and your hair are beautiful. Your nails are beautiful too :) You make the process look so easy. Sigh... Every time I've attempted, (or just thought about doing it), to blow out my hair, I just couldn't get past the coils and such. I'm sure it has to do with not having that comb attachment. Perhaps I'll give it a try again when I get one. Thank you for the video :) I originally found it on the ZB Ning site :D
Beautify! (girl, do you got Indian in yo family????) LOL, sike, I'm just playing. I hate when people ask me that within the context of my hair texture and length :). Good job.
@QueenJenkins42 It detangles your hair without so much breakage.. if u comb from the root to the end, you r combing all your knot to the tip to where they become tangled...
You are so pretty!

@BabyLeoBaby You're welcome. BC means cutting off all the relaxed hair that's left on your head. Some people wait about a year to BC so that the new growth (natural hair) is at a length that they'd be comfortable with to wear out (that's the hair that's left). So depending on how comfortable you are with hair length, it doesn't matter how much you cut it just matters that you cut off all the perm :) A BC can also mean just a short cut but in her case she cut off the perm.

I love your hair! I'm natural as well, it been one year for me and I love my hair. However, I've been wearing a wig as a protective style because it's easier for me. Question...how often do you straighten your hair? Do you do it on a regular basis or just once in a while?

Hey Kerry! I first want to say that I LOVE your channels. I was curious as to how you liked the new heat protectant in comparison to the old one. I am preparing to straighten my hair for the first time since going natural, and I am very interested in how to protect it as much as possible. Any advise you can give me is welcomed. Thanks!

I was just wondering if you've ever experienced fuzzy ends with blow drying or flat ironing. If so, what to you suggest. If not, do you know what might be the cause. Thanks in advance!!

does yr flat iron stay all week? do u flat iron weekly?
Been natural for 16mths - flat iron just wont work on my hair!! if it does it puffs up in 30 mins!! so i get a puffy blown out look instead of straight flat iron look - very strange, very annoying!
your hair looks softer though maybe thats why I'm 4a/b.....
winiver77 3 months ago
@winiver77 hello, maybe it depends on your flat iron, I am an 4c and use cortex flat iron at 430 and I only pass it ontop one time, I found that got2b crazysleek flatiron&blowdry lotion works great! I got it at walgreens, $6.99. I was surprised b/c it isn't geared towards black hair, it states for coarse hair, and it worked on my 4c hair shockingly. at the ends I apply olive oil so it wont dry from heat.

You and your hair are beautiful. Your nails are beautiful too :) You make the process look so easy. Sigh... Every time I've attempted, (or just thought about doing it), to blow out my hair, I just couldn't get past the coils and such. I'm sure it has to do with not having that comb attachment. Perhaps I'll give it a try again when I get one. Thank you for the video :) I originally found it on the ZB Ning site :D

Your hair turned out really nice! I have a question, why is it better to comb from the ends and then work your way up towards the root?
QueenJenkins42 3 months ago
@QueenJenkins42 It detangles your hair without so much breakage.. if u comb from the root to the end, you r combing all your knot to the tip to where they become tangled...
