For those that have been with me since day one, welcome back. So today's video is very special you guys. I want to be straightening my hair for the very first time in three years. I've been three years natural, no heat, no chemicals, no nothing on my hair, nothing harmful. Just a lot of washing and deep conditioning and treatments. That's pretty much it and keeping my hair curly and air-drying my hair. So no blow dryers. The only time I used a actual got under a blow dryer was a hair dryer, whether I should say, is when I do my deep conditioners. And my hair is usually jam-packed with a lot of conditioners. So it doesn't really harm my hair or anything like that. I've never had the urge to do any type of heat. I've never had the urge to straighten out my hair, put perm in, none of that stuff. So all of a sudden I have an urge to straighten my hair. I don't know where it came from, but it just popped in my brain. What would my hair look like straight? Y'all are going to be seeing this for the very first time. I'm going to be seeing this for the very first time. You're going to see my reaction. If I like it, if I don't like it, I'm just hoping that the heat, just my hair takes to the heat without any breakage or damage, heat damage. So let me show you a couple things that I'm going to be using for this video. So the first thing I have is the John Frieda Flatiron. And I've had this Flatiron for quite some time. I actually got this Flatiron years ago when I was not natural, when I was permed and I was still wearing weave. So this is the iron and you can see it says John Frieda on the front. And then you'll notice here are the buttons for the levels of heat, which this one goes up to 480 and this is the little window that shows you the temperatures and of course on and off button. Now this Flatiron is quite worn. It's pretty rusty and got all types of marks on it and damage from just being dropped and things like that. It is not the best Flatiron to use, but it's all I got. So I had to do what I had to do. The other thing that I had to get, which is a must to protect my hair, is a heat protectant. So I got the Garnier, this is the Garnier Furtise Flatiron protector. It goes up to 450 on the heat protected and my Flatiron goes up to 480 and I'm not trying to raise that heat up that high just to straighten out my hair. I rather go through a couple passes in order for it to straighten out than it to be that hot on my hair. So I'll do between 38400 the most. I'm just going to part my hair into four sections. Then I'm just gonna start the video off just showing you how I do it. Just normal speed, just flat out my hair and then I'm just gonna speed it up to get to the results. I'm just hoping for like really really great results. So we're gonna go ahead and get started guys because I don't want this to be a long-drawn out video so let's get to it. It's um, I do it like this. So nice and straight. It's straightened out well when you put the, the, um, what's this stuff? When you put this this heat protected on your hair, when the Flatiron hits it your hair starts frying. I was like whatever smart person designed this where you have to, you know, grip every time. Every time you mash this or grip this or squeeze these Flatirons, you're, it's changing the temperature. So that, I don't know what smart bradynate person invented that but that was horrible. Straightened out really well. Um, I like the results. I mean it's something I could get away with for like a day maybe because my, my hair, the humidity here is still, you know, gonna make my hair poof puff out. So I know I need my ends to be trimmed. Some more needs to be cut so I could of course tell that. Um, what else? The roots, I had a hard time getting to my roots because this, the, those Flatirons are so hot like as soon as I put the spray on there, the heat protected and then the Flatirons, it's hard to get the Flatiron all the way to the roots even when you go through a couple times because the heat just sucks to your scalp and it singes your scalp. So I couldn't get really close to my roots like I wanted to. Will I straighten my hair again or will I keep it in this style? Absolutely not. I miss my curly hair. I'll want my curly hair back. I don't miss straight hair. I just, I've never been able to wear my, my natural hair straight ever in life. It's just never worked out and it's still, I'll show you the back. Yeah. It's um, yeah. It feels very light. It feels light. It feels feathery. So it did, it did do a decent job I must say. But um, yeah probably tomorrow I will be, well I'll let it, I'll wear it straight because nobody has seen my hair straight in a while. So I'll probably wear it to work like this. But I guarantee when I go to sleep, I'm gonna put a button on my head or my wrap it. I don't know. It's gonna look a fool when I wake up in the morning. I already know. It's just not, yeah. And I refuse to put any more heat on my hair. That's it. I'm not doing any more heat on my hair. Yeah. Let me get my, my, get my thumbnail. But yeah, it is what it is y'all. So I hope y'all enjoy the video. I hope y'all enjoy watching me straighten my hair. It was not fun. I actually wanted to stop a couple times and stop the video and just be like, you know what? I can't do it no more. I was really done. By the time I got to the back, honestly I was already done when I got to the second part of my hair. I just want to shut the camera off and be like, you know what guys? I gave you to try but, but I said, you know what? I'm just gonna push through. I'm gonna push through. I'm gonna do this video. I want y'all to see all of my hair straight. If I do go back straight again, it'll be a long time. Because I need to wait and see what this heat does to my hair if my hair starts breaking off or whatever the next couple days. But I'm gonna make sure I really keep moisture, some type of moisture on my hair and stuff like that. But it's going back curly. That I guarantee is going back curly. This, this, this, I can't go out public like this y'all. It's just like a hot mess. It's stiff. It don't move. It just, it's light and it's feathery but it just, there's nobody like, look, it don't move. So if you like this video guys, please give a thumbs up. Please comment. Please subscribe.
