@apryl07... Try this method; you may need to upgrade your flatiron. I don't have a perm either but I was using my flat iron I has when I had a perm and it was not doing anything for my hair. It broke on me and I was forced to upgrade not knowing that part of my problem was my old flat iron. I got an H2pro but the Fhi is awesome too.
I did her method and my hair looks wonderful and no poof!! :)
Thank you! I tried your method and my hair is so silky straight! Typically, after flat ironing my hair would poof up; but your method has my hair looking awesome! I decided I would never get a perm again last year, so I've been searching and finally found a successful regimen! Thanks for sharing!
Your hair looks great...but your video isn't very detailed. You should expand on what some of the methods you used are, rather than just stating that you used them. A lot of your viewers, like myself, make not know what the "tension method" is.
@DST2223 My hair was dry. My hair was washed earlier that week and did not have much product to result in build up so I was able to just apply the conditioner. Will it work with any conditioner? I say use the conditioner that offers THE MOST moisture for your hair. If the conditioner does not moisturize well, you hair will not straighten as well and as easily as it could. When hair is not moisturized well you run the risk of having heat damage.
@apryl07 Are you flat ironing your hair at the most OPTIMAL times (weather-wise)? Are you positive your hair is moisturized by your conditioner? If so, how can you tell?
@vanaphil please watch the entirety of the video. the product used is clearly visible at the 1:29 mark. the description box contains the name of specific products and tools used. thanks for watching :)
@jewelbenn sorry that I didn't show how I wrap and I prob won't be straightening again until next year but the way you see my hair falling in my face just before tieing with a scarf is how I begin to brush my hair around my head. No part at all. I alternate directions each night to avoid my hair only falling in one direction.
@bbnne1 I already have, which is why I was so emphatic about trying to find out how she wrapped hers lol. But thanks for he tip. none of the other videos have helped because for the most part the girls wrap[ing their middle part hair have weaves and such.
OH MY GOSH, you skipped how you wrap your hair!! I only know how to wrap a side part can you PLEEEAASSE show how to wrap a middle part? I am like desperate at this point lol.
@klpayton No I didn't use much product a few days before so there was no need for me to shampoo. I just applied the conditioner and rinsed it well, blow dried and flat ironed. But you have to know your hair and its ability to withstand build up. You may want to shampoo your hair first just to be sure.
I have a few questions to ask. How long did your hair take to revert back? Because for me it only takes me walking out the door for it to revert and get frizzy. So how can you make it last longer? And did you suffer any heat damage? Lol ok that's it, I'm just wondering whether I should flat iron my own hair or not... Love your hair! It's so silky smooth!
@iamnotokay24 my flat ironed hair lasts as long as as I would like it to. until water hits it, my hair is straight whether that is a week later or a month. my hair will not revert while I am wearing it straight. MOISTURE MOISTURE MOISTURE is the key to get your hair straight and it staying straight. that is the reason why I, unlike most youtubers showed the step of deep conditioning. also when your hair is uberly moisturized, it can withstand heat and your hair will not be damaged.
O_O so pretty!! I never thought you could get your hair that straight with natural hair(I've tried and my hair always goeas wild when I go outside & walk around) I hope if I follow this routine my hair will stay in tact ^^ And to think I was thinking about getting a relaxer lol
@shawty460 You have to trial and error what conditioner is going to provide the most moisture for your hair and if there are no ill effects for sleeping with it in. My experience is with the conditioner used in the video. I've had no ill effects. Best of luck in your trials.
@onli1becca101 The last time I straightened my hair in the summer (June '10) there was little to no frizz. But of course I know that type of weather is the most optimal times for frizz to occur and I spent most of my time in doors. If my hair is straight, unless it's cold outside, I don't spend more than 15 minutes outside at one time.
Gorg results...I got my hair straightened about 2 weeks ago and I NEED it again..lol! Your vid helped me to feel confident that I can do it myself :) How often do you straighten?
@lfutrell82 Until I wash which is usually 1-2 weeks. Even at that time, my hair is still bone straight, but I wash it because its apart of my routine.
Hey ur hair is beautiful ... I got my hair flat ironed in the salon yesterday and the straightness only lasted 2 hrs :(. Can u help me or give me some tips as to what I should do.... The hairdresser washed and conditioned my hair , blow dry using a brush and then flat iron....
*sigh* this transition thing is irritating lol! I have a chi flat iron and for the life of me I can't get my hair to stay straight and bouncy. Right now my hair is stiff like starch when I move it. I hate it lol! I haven't blow dried my hair like this yet tho and haven't slept in conditioner lol! Right now I'm still in trial and error. I just don't know what to do with my hair. I still want the straight look and have to have it because of my job, but right now my roots are saying "no" lol!
@RedQueen009 Try something that is more moisturizing and leaving it on for a longer period of time. I know if I tried to flat iron after conditioning for an hour, my results are never what you see in the video. Check out my blog. I have a post on there about my journey to flat ironing my hair. There are some pics in that post that will also help you see and understand what my hair looks like without moisture.
@777brownie I'm confused. What you saw was conditioner being applied. I'm assuming you thought that was a relaxer. Are you telling me that you know people that apply relaxer with their hands, put on a plastic cap and then sleep in it??
Even after I rinsed the conditioner my hair was still kinky before blow drying it. Now I'm really getting even more confused as to why you asked that question.
@wwestNDNbeautyy it cause you said you use the "relaxer method" i didnt understand what you meant by that. but i get now u applied that conditioner as if your putting in a relaxer and slept over night with it.
If you want a professional flat iron and you are ok with spending around $140 I would highly recommend the Karmin G3 Salon Pro, it heats up to 450f with temperature control, dual voltage, tourmaline ceramic plates with rounded edges which makes it great for also curling your hair. Also has a 3 year warranty. If you do look at other irons make sure to stay away from irons with painted plates (colored plates) these can damage your hair.
@cashmerekc Depends on how much product build up I have and what I use in my conditioner mix. It varies. Too much product build up results in a weighted down blow dry which will leave your flat ironed hair lifeless. You just have to know your hair. But if I were you I would stick to the normal wash and DC routine
Thank you for this excellent video. I did my hair and it turned out BEAUTIFUL! The key is leaving the mositurizer in. I left it in for about 6 hours. It was so easy to blow dry and flat iron. My hair looks like I went to the beauty salon. Thank you so much for sharing your skills.
Love love this video! I am from St. Thomas and I am going to try this method tomorrow I am here laying around with the conditioner in my hair as I type. This will only be the 2nd time I try to straighten my hair and I been natural 14 months the first time was a disaster. I have an FHI iron but I will be trying out my megaglide hope it works out. Thanks for the tips!
I tried your method for the flat iron and using mainly this and reviewing the link from the fotki you posted and had AWESOME results! This is only the 2nd time I have straighted my entire head in MANY, MANY years and this go round was a success! THANK-YOU!!!!
I love ur vids...can i ask...what is ur hair type..? Im 4a/b and im transitioning right now and i would like to use this method to straighten my hair soon. Thanks for ur response :)
I like this video...just curious, though. What is the name of the comb you used, while your flat ironing? 'm interested in purchasing one. Also, what's the name of it?
This is an excellent video. I want to do those exact steps. My question though is how long does this look last, and are the products good enough at preventing frizz in high humidity?
@uknowdastory I live in GA and this style lasts as long as I want it to. Hair frizzes because it is in search or moisture. Make sure your hair is well moisturized via your DC and that will minimize the frizzing.
amazing! I'm not sure if anyone asked already but how do you think using a spray heat protectant would affect the turn out? Also, what about a moisturizing leave in?
@in88Him The white bottle you see me using is a spray heat protectant, detangler and leave in. My suggestion would be to apply all wet products before blow drying. Product applied after you your blow dry stands the chance of making your hair product heavy and lifeless.
@morehairplease I do use shampoo. If I need to clarify my hair when I am going to straighten, I use Chi infared (red cap) moisturizing shampoo. It really cleanses my hair without leaving it stripped.
@blaqueonyx My hair doesn't revert until its time to wash. Actually, when I don't so such a good job flat ironing and its a little puffy, my hair actually gets straighter over time. I wrap it around in a bun when sleeping and thats pretty much it to maintaining it.
@Prime1018 After a little experimenting myself with the length of time I condition, I am noticing overnighting really makes the diff. Last time I straightened I did so with having the conditioner on a few hours....**thumbs down** on how m hair came out. Hopefully if you overnight it will work better for you too :)
Wooowww! Your hair looks so pretty and beautiful done like that :) May I ask what the name of the comb that you used during the chase method is called and where you bought it? The one you clamped down.
sexy hair.......... :)

Question: Was your hair wet or dry when you put on the deep conditioner?
blkimble 1 year ago
@blkimble my hair is dry in the video.

This is an excellent video. I want to do those exact steps. My question though is how long does this look last, and are the products good enough at preventing frizz in high humidity?

@uknowdastory I live in GA and this style lasts as long as I want it to. Hair frizzes because it is in search or moisture. Make sure your hair is well moisturized via your DC and that will minimize the frizzing.

Very Pretty!!!! I love the way that turned out. How often do you flat iron??? And which heat protectant did you use?
krismiss77 1 year ago
Would you say 6 hours is enough and what temperature do you use? Thanks!!

this is amazing.
geishabema87 1 year ago
amazing! I'm not sure if anyone asked already but how do you think using a spray heat protectant would affect the turn out? Also, what about a moisturizing leave in?
in88Him 1 year ago
@in88Him The white bottle you see me using is a spray heat protectant, detangler and leave in. My suggestion would be to apply all wet products before blow drying. Product applied after you your blow dry stands the chance of making your hair product heavy and lifeless.

@morehairplease I do use shampoo. If I need to clarify my hair when I am going to straighten, I use Chi infared (red cap) moisturizing shampoo. It really cleanses my hair without leaving it stripped.

Love the way your hair came out, How long does it last?? and what do you do to help with your hair reverting back???
blaqueonyx 1 year ago
@blaqueonyx My hair doesn't revert until its time to wash. Actually, when I don't so such a good job flat ironing and its a little puffy, my hair actually gets straighter over time. I wrap it around in a bun when sleeping and thats pretty much it to maintaining it.
wwestNDNbeautyy 1 year ago
Thanks for the video. I tried the same exact method as you did, however with my 4b/c hair, it was more puffy then straight.

@Prime1018 Sorry it didn't work for you. How long did you deep condition?
wwestNDNbeautyy 1 year ago
@wwestNDNbeautyy Three hours, then I washed it out. I guess I'll try it another time and leave the conditioner over night and see what happens then.
Prime1018 1 year ago
@Prime1018 After a little experimenting myself with the length of time I condition, I am noticing overnighting really makes the diff. Last time I straightened I did so with having the conditioner on a few hours....**thumbs down** on how m hair came out. Hopefully if you overnight it will work better for you too :)

Wooowww! Your hair looks so pretty and beautiful done like that :) May I ask what the name of the comb that you used during the chase method is called and where you bought it? The one you clamped down.
