 Beyond Grenade, you're watching Beyond Grenade today, and today I'm going to give you a video that could possibly change your life. This is my first video of 2017, so I thought we should start this off with something that could be benefiting you throughout the year, which is going to be a no-heat challenge. We had so many challenges in 2016, like the mannequin challenge, the 100 layers of lip gloss challenge, but does this really benefit anybody? But this no-heat challenge is going to change your hair game for the best. Now this no-heat challenge means I, Beyond Grenade, am challenging you, in certain names, to not use a straightener anymore all year. I know, some of you are freaking out. Some of you already gave up. We didn't even start. Some of you guys gave up. That's why it's a challenge. It's going to be challenging because it might be something that you're used to. You always use your flat iron, maybe a relaxer, maybe you use a curling iron, whatever it may be. Let's just not do it anymore. Now I will admit, I'm kind of biased because I personally did not have to transition. I've always rocked my hair natural. I personally have never liked to straighten my hair because I've always been too lazy and it took like two hours to do so, so I understand that. For those of you that always write me talking about your heat damaged hair, we got to fix it this year. This is the year we're going to cut it off and or fix it or both. Now although I know you're not going to want to admit it, but your hair straightener has now become an addiction. And just like anybody with an addiction, they say, no, I don't need it. I could stop whenever I want, but then you don't. So why don't you? Because you're addicted. But hey, we all got our addiction. Some of us are addicted to food. Some of us are addicted to our phone. Some of us are addicted to my YouTube videos. That's not addiction. That's totally fine. Some of you might be thinking, well, what do you know? You've never transitioned before. You don't know my pain. You don't know my struggle. Okay, I can kind of give you that, but because of my channel, I do do a lot of research on natural hair. I also watch other curly girls and I've watched their natural hair journeys. And I see that they all have improved tremendously. For example, these are some other curly girls that I follow, and they have amazing transitioning stories. You guys should definitely check out their YouTube pages. You could see how damaged their hair was before and how amazingly beautiful it is now. I'll put all their info below in the description box. Definitely check out their transition videos, and I hope it motivates you. So this is what we're going to do to make this real official. I'm going to turn this into a little door of the Explore episode because sometimes you got to say it out loud to really believe it and manifest it into the universal. Here we go. So raise your right hand. I, so and so, solemnly swear to no longer put heat in my hair. I'm going to start now because it's never too late. It's going to take time, but it's worth the wait. Oh, bars. I might as well just start a Curly Kids Bob album. All right. So now that you've taken the oaths, I want you to leave me a comment and say, I, so and so, accept the no heat challenge. Boom. You are officially locked in, and I'm officially one of your supporters to make sure that you make it through this journey. And I'm going to want you to take a picture of your hair now if it's very damaged now, and you're going to take a picture each month and see how much better your hair gets by not using heat anymore. And you could send me these pictures on Twitter. I'd love to see your results at Ms. Bianca Renee pictures on Twitter. Don't want to check my Instagram DMs. You could tag me in your photos on Instagram, whatever. I am here to support your natural hair journey. Now, before you completely tune out, because you've always been natural, and you're like, Oh, this video doesn't apply to me. My hair is already perfect. I'm going to include you too. I want you to look at my photo on Instagram when I post a picture about this video and I want you to tag somebody that you think should join the no heat challenge. I'm sure you got one friend who won't put down that straightener who strains her hair every day and then complains about how dry, brittle and dull her hair is, but she won't listen to you. So maybe with some help, some encouragement, let's go ahead and tag them in a photo and challenge them to put down the straightener. So if you don't want to participate in this challenge, that means you cannot complain about your hair breaking, about it having no shine, about it not growing, about it being frizzy and about it not curling the way you want. So if you think you can commit to all these things, be my guest. Keep burning your hair. But if you want to continue this year by rejuvenating your hair to bouncy, beautiful, soft, healthy hair, you're going to have to commit and I challenge you. All right. So this is my no heat challenge. I hope that you will follow me on Instagram and tag other people that you want to be a part of this no heat challenge. Feel free to tag your favorite YouTube vloggers so they also can be involved in this movement of the no heat challenge. It is 2017 ain't nobody got time for fried damage hair. And even if you're starting to watch this video in May, December 31st of 2017, I don't care. Whenever you watch this, start now, no matter what year it is. Now, real quick, once you do commit to the no heat challenge, you are going to have to do a couple of things. One, I want you to drink a lot of water. Two, I want you to use a deep conditioning treatment once a week. I want you to make sure you use products that are sulfate, silicone and paraben free healthy natural products and sleep in a pineapple. If I want you to put your hair in a pineapple at the very top of your head, sleep on a satin pillowcase and all these little things will help. I have an entire playlist dedicated to curly hair. So if you go through that, you will learn a thing or two. Another tip, if you just really, really, really want straight hair on some random Friday, I rather you wear a wig, a beautiful straight wig than to straighten your own hair. This wig, when I wear this, this looks better than when my hair actually looks when I straighten it. Yet I'm not adding any heat or any damage to my hair. I take it off whenever and my hair is perfectly fine and it was not fried the day before. So I hope this video inspired you to accept my challenge. If you do, leave me comments saying I so and so accept the no heat challenge. And if you have a friend that also could do this with you, I know it will be so much easier because you guys can encourage each other. You know what? I might even do like a transformation giveaway. Whoever has the best before and after pictures, I'm probably going to give you a bunch of free stuff just because I can. Yeah, let's do that. Let's make this year interesting. Whatever it takes to encourage you guys to love the hair that grows out of your head. Well, that is all for today. Please share this video with your other curly girl friends or girls that you know are transitioning and might need a little nudge to commit to the no heat challenge. And I also want you to hit that subscribe button and there's also a button next to that, that little bell, it's a new YouTube thing. Or if you click the bell, you will be notified when I post a new video. So it'll be the first one to know I post new videos every Sunday. So I hope to see you guys next week. Thanks for watching. Bianca Renee today.
