@estebelle Yes,yes however it will eventually make you're hair have weird diffrent patterns, until it looks somewhat relaxed, and TRUST I have seen this and experienced this; I just don't recommend this, the whole point of being natural is to embrace your NATURAL hair, that god gave you & to accept you're texture no matter how soft , kinky,tight or loose it is..Although, I still respect everyone's opinion about using this method on their hair.
Thank you for the video! By the way ,do not worry about these negative comments .Caucasians ,asians and indians who have straight hair ,still use the flat iron to remove the frizzes. You were recommended on a natural hair website . So keep up the good work!
Natural hair is any type of hair that does not use chemicals to straighten or curl your hair.WOW-for all you people who think only dreads or fros are natural are truly lost because not all ethnic people have extra curly hair but still where natural styles by blow drying and using a flat iron.Really..stop hating Heat will not forever change your hair cuticle it will revert back to curls when water is added heat just helps you relax your cuticle to maintain a straighter style .
wow. u people are crazy. This girls hair is fine because it works for her. I like the Idea. I dont want to fight the fro all the time. Why did you even watch the video? You seen the title. Why do naturals bash one another? Its the same mental complex as light skin is better than dark skin. Its stupid. Keep your NATURAL head up girl and thanks for the video.
Im glad that you have this term b/c I have been confused by naturals who fry the crisp out of their hair and puff out their chest and say "Im better than u b/c Im natural". You're still trying to acheive straight hair just without processing. So Im glad there is some clarity on the topic. I love the versatility of black hair...who cares what you do to it! But I would agree with the comments below, heat changes the integrity of hair strands by breaking protein bonds and stripping the cuticle!
Her hair is still natural. Why do people watch videos to bash them? The info here is working for HER! I just laugh at people who watch and not pay attention to what she is saying!
If you want to change your natural texture FINE go ahead, it's your hair! But do not claim that it's "natural" or whatever. It may not be a chemical process as relaxing but it's a physical process that still change your natural texture because you can't get it back unless you let your new growth free. Again i have nothing against relaxers or heat training but i don't like the way you try so hard to confuse people with the term "natural" cos heat training is everything but natural
I have decided to do this. I have hair that is thick coarse and dense. Its very compacted at the root and never stays detangled, never stays moisturized, and is always breaking no matter the techniques or expensive ass natural lines I use. I will officially start in September when I have all the proper tools and keep you posted @brittanynic16.
It doesn't matter what ppl say about Heat training, obviously you are doing something right, because you hair is gorgeous. I have a girlfriend who does what you are doing, only I don't think she knew it had a name. I am 100% natural and am not really into using heat , but I just wanted to say you have beautiful hair.
It is merely a preference to which we are all entitled! DAMAGED hair on the other hand occurs when the we fail to look after our hair and although it may seem easier for this to happen to altered hair it can happen in BOTH states. Similarly HEALTHY hair can also be achieved in BOTH states.
I know this is ridiculously long but I hope it helps to settle the debate some!
i.e u cannot get oxygen and hydrogen back from water. BUT...have u ever heard anyone say the original molecules have been DAMAGED by making water? Nope! because it isn't. It is simply hydrogen and oxygen in an ALTERED form. Likening that back to hair, our texture can be changed when the original bonds are ALTERED by chemicals (relaxers) or heat (heat training). Some of us (like me) prefer our natural "hydrogen/oxygen" hair and some (like Brittany) prefer it in its altered "water" state.
I don't usually wade in on these "debates" but as a professional scientist i thought I'd throw in my 2 pennies worth (I'm British!!)
The process of changing our hair texture may be better illustrated by a scientific analogy.
Imagine the formation of water, H20: hydrogen and oxygen molecules exist in the air whole and undamaged and in order to bring them together their individual bonds must be broken and reformed in a different constitution. Once in this new constitution it cannot be reverted
Why r ppl making a big deal about this?? She's just telling how she's styling HER hair; bottom line we all choose what to do w/ our hair. Gggrinz must think we're like children and can't think for ourselves! No matter how your hair is (natural, relaxed, dreads, etc) w/o proper care it will be damaged!
I've seen very long HT'd hair. The key is to properly condition/ protect hair for your style. HT only affects hair which is dead anyway unlike chemicals that seep through skin.
@truewoman247 - The product you mentioned uses sodium carbonate. It is less harsh but it id still a chemical. This method (HT) requires zero products. You do not have to depend on any company or formulation. Heat training works by affecting the hydrogen bonds of the hair. Relaxer effect the disulfide bonds of your hair. Big Big difference.
No offense, but what your saying makes NO sense. So called "heat training" is basically just using HEAT to damage you hairs natural structure over time to a point where it loosens your natural curl pattern. Its still DAMAGE either way! When you're NOT using heat at ALL and keeping it well moisturized is when your hair is at its healthiest...NATURALLY.Which is what allows it to maintain its original curl pattern. Why don't people GET that? Smh.
@NEONORANGES -This method is not for those who want to maintain their natural curl pattern. If that is your intention then this method is not for you.
@NEONORANGES Oh please she can do what she wants with her hair. You natural nazis kill me and most of you "bonafide naturals" used to have relaxers anyway. Then your going to try to tell someone what to do with their hair LOL ITS HER HAIR!!
Hi, I am new to your channel, and I would like to know how often did you use heat on your hair to get it heat trained? BTW you have a gorgeous head of hair!
Cosmetologist are trained to relaxer hair and straighten hair some schools don't teach natural hair care and I think peeps are brainwash to thinking flat-ironing, & hot combing your hair equates to heat damage but it's not exactly true it's what you do that cause damage to the hair. If the temperature is too hot or how frequent you flat-iron your hair as well as if your not incorporating co-washing, conditioning, and deep conditioning frequently in damage prevention and or repairing.
heat training is another phrase for heat damage... which is taking out the natural curl of the hair...some people feel their hair is healthy with the results but your hair is actually damaged. i would not recommend heat training for anyone that wants to keep the hair on their head. it may seem all fine and dandy now but later down the line you'll start seeing where your hair is not what you thought it was going to be.
@Brittanynic16 - I understand that you have been doing it for a while... As a licensed cosmetologist I would never tell anyone to heat train their hair. In the long run you are damaging your hair you may not see it now and you may not see it ever...but technically speaking removing the natural curl with heat are breaking down your bonds as a regular relaxer does which is damaging to your hair. Not saying stop what you are doing but you need to be careful...that's all I'm saying.
@mfagalar -The point of heat training is to break the bonds of the hair to gain a looser texture which is why it is done systematically. However heat training and relaxers are not the same. HT affects the hydrogen bonds of the hair while relaxers affects the disulfides bonds. Very different. HT is so much healthier than relaxing and no health risks. If you recommend relaxers and not heat training or "thermalaxing" you might want to reconsider your stance.
@Brittanynic16 - I'm all natural so relaxing the hair chemically is something I try to get people out of. There are "natural" relaxers out that do loosen the curls without heat and without chemicals. In my earlier statement I should have explained my reasoning more. I know exactly what you are talking about but it is still either way you look at it heat training is damaging to the hair. Easy to bring back to a healthy state but damaging.
@Brittanynic16 nice argument. It sounds kind of ridiculous for a cosmetologist to recommend a relaxer, then shun heat training natural hair. Either way you are doing "damage" to the hair. If one insists on calling your process heat "damage", then one must also insist on calling relaxers chemical "damage". Let's see how that goes over with a client sitting in the chair.
GGGrinz, give it a rest, will you? Heat training isn't for you. So go away. Other people find this information helpful. If you don't agree with it, leave.
your very courageous to put information in the form of videos out about a controversial method of styling and managing your hair. I am reaping the benefits of your courage and want to say thank you. don't waste energy on those who oppose your method so vehemently and angrily (why so angry??) but I, like many on yt are adults and are able to listen to many diff. methods, research and make a choice on my hair. don't need these angry folk to defend, protect or protest for me. thanks brittany.
i give her credit for this i think she is saying what works for her hair i dnt think shes holding a gun to someones head telling them to heat train thier hair or else lol but her hair looks very healthy and full to me =)
I'm a licensed cosmetologist and I've seen healthy hair that has been heat trained. Case in poiint - my sister went natural 2 yrs ago but prefers the straight look. So every 2wks for the past 2 yrs she has her hair shampoo'd, blow dried and flat ironed. Right now it's bra strap length and its never been that long in all her life! It's also thicker than its ever been, so not all natural hair treated with heat is unhealthy. With use of the right products, anyone's hair will thrive!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is a horrible video! How dare you tell ppl to damage their hair with heat to get it straight!!!!!! Damage your own hair, don't tell others to do it. Absolutely rediculous! "Natural relaxer?" You're not very smart. PEOPLE DO NOT LISTEN TO HER! DO NOT HEAT DAMAGE YOUR HAIR PLEASE.
@Brittanynic16 based hair care at its finest? What? You don't take good care f your hair, you're just lucky that you have strong hair genetically that grows fast, or else your hair would all fall out. You're NEVER supposed to heat train your hair, its not heat training your hair to stay straight, it's frying it!!!! You're FRYING your hair and then have the audacity to tell others to do the same. SMH.
@gggrinz - Yes, you are trying to use scare tactics. You have no way of backing up anything that you said. You're basing your conclusions on your own assumption. My hair is damage/"fried" based on what...the fact that its growing or maybe by that fact it has shine and bounce? Oh wait...its because I have magical genes. And you know I have these special genes...how? You = silly talk. We can agree to disagree but can you at least be more creative then "special" genes? That one's played out. LOL
@Brittanynic16 Whatever this is a waste convo. I don't need to back up anything just ask any liscenced hairstylist and they'll confirm what I'm saying. Do what you will with your hair but don't try to fuck up others'.
@Brittanynic16 Well, most books I read talk about how breaking of bonds is damaging the hair. Just like a relaxer breaks bonds, the straightner breaks bonds. Damage. Heat weakens the hair, as well. Read all this in multiple books from dermatologists and hair dressers.
@PeaceUdo - Most books on hair say that you should get a relaxer and trim every 6 weeks. There are also plenty of books that talk about the dangers of relaxers and yet they are still used. I even have a book that says that only lye relaxers should be used in the hair and not no lye. Just because it is in a book does not make it applicable to you or I.
@Brittanynic16 Yes. What I'm saying is that most books I read say the same thing. And yes, the books also say that about relaxer, but that is considered damage, as well lol. ALso, yes. I have never read a book that SUGGESTED using No-lye over lye relaxer. No-lye is a hoax and a sham. After doing my research, I've switched to lye relaxer and my hair has never been so soft and smooth.
@gggrinz WOW you took the time to rant on her page about nonsense. If she wants to put a video about using heat on her hair and how to do it correctly then so be it. I support the idea because I get it done myself. My curls still pop out when I want them no big deal. I just know to keep my hair well lubricated. I just use the good ole pressing comb. Now I think it is at someone else's own risk if they choose to use heat without proper care or without a trained professional.
@jordanlne08 She telling people to "heat train their hair" a.k.a heat damage their hair! If your hair looses it's curls permanently with the aid of heat, you've damaged your hair! No less, no more.
@gggrinz OKAY obviously you have a strong negative opinion on this matter,and have probably experienced or seen heat training gone wrong. Your goal is to warn everyone about it. AND you are so fervently against anything that has anything to do with heat. Other people have strong positive opinions about heat training also. You can't change my view on this matter if I have only experienced positive results. If hard chemicals like relaxers are used then your hair will be damaged. Case Closed.
@jordanlne08 Okay, whatever you say, continue to damage your hair...not my problem. And fyi, i did not say that i was fervently opposed to heat, I straighten my hair all the time thank you.
After getting my weave out I didn't think I could do "natural" hair and my beautician told me my hair just needs to be "trained". Thanks for your videos they are really helpful!!
I don't really go out to the club but I go to the gym regularly. Now that I've perfected my method I don’t have a problem with poofy roots. If you look at my latest video you'll see how my hair acts when wet. As long as I keep it pulled back I only get a slight wave.
Ok so do you go to clubs or workout? I'm asking cause I want to know when you sweat does ur roots poof up really bad? That's is my only concern in the summer's I wear alot of protective hairstyles because I workout. And I try to avoid clubs unless I have a wig to throw on.
im natural since 2 years. Ive tried protective styling but thos knots still killing my length. when i was young i had long ,thick hair.And guess what= i was hot combed all the time. i mostly wore it straight. So how come i had great growth and length?
im planning to maybe start flat ironing to wear straight and see if it works for me.
I am having trouble with single strand knots. I want to straighten more and be more of a straight hair natural but, I'm afraid of damage, breaking, and thin hair. My hair is doing so well I don't want to mess it up. In a few weeks I will get a profesional trim and AI will see how much of a problem the knots have caused but, I will be watching you videos for help. Your hair does not look like it has suffered any damage from the heat. Good job!
I'm glad you are taking the time to make these videos, your hair is so beautiful. I'm going through the same thing as you mentioned in your hair history, so I truly want to use your methods. I will be using the keratin treatment and protective styles (braids & weaves) to help grow out my relaxed hair.
Yesterday, I started heat training my transitioning hair. I know that any form of changing the hair texture has to break down protein in the hair. So i decided to train with coconut oil seeing as though coconut oil helps with protein loss. I know the oil didn't bake because I saw no signs of burned, damaged, smelly, split hair. My hair is still straight which it never does. Thanks for re-introducing me to heat trained hair. I plan on doing this from now on!

@Brittanynic16 Yes. What I'm saying is that most books I read say the same thing. And yes, the books also say that about relaxer, but that is considered damage, as well lol. ALso, yes. I have never read a book that SUGGESTED using No-lye over lye relaxer. No-lye is a hoax and a sham. After doing my research, I've switched to lye relaxer and my hair has never been so soft and smooth.

@PeaceUdo - Relaxers are damaging and yet you can have a healthy head of hair with a relaxer; lye or no-lye. The same principle applies.

@gggrinz WOW you took the time to rant on her page about nonsense. If she wants to put a video about using heat on her hair and how to do it correctly then so be it. I support the idea because I get it done myself. My curls still pop out when I want them no big deal. I just know to keep my hair well lubricated. I just use the good ole pressing comb. Now I think it is at someone else's own risk if they choose to use heat without proper care or without a trained professional.

@jordanlne08 She telling people to "heat train their hair" a.k.a heat damage their hair! If your hair looses it's curls permanently with the aid of heat, you've damaged your hair! No less, no more.

@gggrinz OKAY obviously you have a strong negative opinion on this matter,and have probably experienced or seen heat training gone wrong. Your goal is to warn everyone about it. AND you are so fervently against anything that has anything to do with heat. Other people have strong positive opinions about heat training also. You can't change my view on this matter if I have only experienced positive results. If hard chemicals like relaxers are used then your hair will be damaged. Case Closed.

@jordanlne08 Okay, whatever you say, continue to damage your hair...not my problem. And fyi, i did not say that i was fervently opposed to heat, I straighten my hair all the time thank you.

After getting my weave out I didn't think I could do "natural" hair and my beautician told me my hair just needs to be "trained". Thanks for your videos they are really helpful!!

I don't really go out to the club but I go to the gym regularly. Now that I've perfected my method I don’t have a problem with poofy roots. If you look at my latest video you'll see how my hair acts when wet. As long as I keep it pulled back I only get a slight wave.

Ok so do you go to clubs or workout? I'm asking cause I want to know when you sweat does ur roots poof up really bad? That's is my only concern in the summer's I wear alot of protective hairstyles because I workout. And I try to avoid clubs unless I have a wig to throw on.

im natural since 2 years. Ive tried protective styling but thos knots still killing my length. when i was young i had long ,thick hair.And guess what= i was hot combed all the time. i mostly wore it straight. So how come i had great growth and length?
im planning to maybe start flat ironing to wear straight and see if it works for me.

I am having trouble with single strand knots. I want to straighten more and be more of a straight hair natural but, I'm afraid of damage, breaking, and thin hair. My hair is doing so well I don't want to mess it up. In a few weeks I will get a profesional trim and AI will see how much of a problem the knots have caused but, I will be watching you videos for help. Your hair does not look like it has suffered any damage from the heat. Good job!

I'm glad you are taking the time to make these videos, your hair is so beautiful. I'm going through the same thing as you mentioned in your hair history, so I truly want to use your methods. I will be using the keratin treatment and protective styles (braids & weaves) to help grow out my relaxed hair.

@StealMyHeartLovee - Thanks for watching. Good luck on your transition.

Yesterday, I started heat training my transitioning hair. I know that any form of changing the hair texture has to break down protein in the hair. So i decided to train with coconut oil seeing as though coconut oil helps with protein loss. I know the oil didn't bake because I saw no signs of burned, damaged, smelly, split hair. My hair is still straight which it never does. Thanks for re-introducing me to heat trained hair. I plan on doing this from now on!
