- Seems like this QUARANTINE has everyone experimenting with their hair!!!
So, I thought I should upload this video to make you aware of what could happen if you decide to silk press your hair. I'm not saying this WILL happen but it could happen, if not done properly. I pretty much explain my thoughts throughout the video and I'm glad I have a platform where I can share my experience.
I hope you guys enjoy the video.

I went to the salon to get my hair straightened for Thanksgiving the stylist did 3 passes on two pieces of hair and I got up and left paid her for those two pieces cause already knew she was gonna mess my hair up.
Way to take charge girl!
The stylist passed that iron over and over on one piece of hair.
@@leahswaby5607 it was a white hair salon I ain't have no business in that place but my mom was getting hers done. Her stylist was finished by the time my stylist was finished detangling mine.
Oh no I didn't know that was bad im so scared
That took courage that most ppl don’t have.
GIIIIIRRRRRLLLLL, I hadn't had my hair straightened in over 6yrs. I got a silk press right before my birthday in order to do a proper trim. I should have just trimmed it after I steamed it straight with my Qredew. I had NO idea my hair would not revert back. I used 2 leave ins and 2 heat protectants and it STILL happened. I had to cut off about 5". My ends were like wet, freshly relaxed hair. I cried for 2 straight days because I worked soooo hard to get that thickness/length. All the ayurvedic products I made, sulfate free shampoos/conditioners, etc. That was 3 months ago and I am STILL cutting straight straggly pieces off. I feel your pain. I eventually sucked it up and started on my same regimen as before. Lesson learned.
Yes girl... I learned my lesson too!! Its crazy how all it takes is one silk press or one day of straightening your hair yourself for it to be damaged and not revert back. I recently bought a yaki straight wig for the days I want straight hair. I will not be taking that risk again with my hair. It ain’t worth it.
Oh no 6 years for me 2 and I just my hair done today , my hearts about to sink
@@donica5860 Don’t worry girl.. we all don’t have the same experience. Fingers crossed everything went well for you 🤞🏾☺️
This happened to me now I’m crying my eyes out
I am sorry you’ll experience that, as seasoned stylist foo 44 years. I never had that problem, I guess because we used pressing combs. Flat irons came in many years later. I always felt they were made for weave and wig hair even thou they have heat control. Good luck with you hair Queens!❤️
I feel some stylist get jealous to see black hair grow long so they mess it up...thats why I do my hair myself
Same! I do my own hair too! Nobody has touched my hair ever since.
I feel these salons adding straighten creams to the hair . Looks like they relaxed it
Yeah, she did something...
Alot of them do. They add it to the first shampoo they use. Then resume as usual with a neutralizing shampoo conditioner.
Yup. Happened to me. They used Manzina thermal whatever. Basically a mild relaxer. 🙄
Yea In this case there was definitely something added, a regular silkpress does not included chemicals at all it just a wash blowdry and press.
They use keratin shampoos
The same thing happened to me 2 months ago. I was 15 years natural, was doing my hair myself all this time, hadn’t gone to a salon in at least a decade. then it all went down when I trusted the stylist when she said my hair will go back to natural after a shampoo. Now my hair is even worst than yours on the video, heat damage all over, some parts even worst than others, I look like a hot mess. I’m devastated. I will probably have to do a big chop, in the meantime I’m doing just braids to avoid even looking at my hair... I’m never going to a salon again.
Thanks for sharing your video!
Wow... 15 years I can’t even imagine!! SMH 🤦🏾♀️ I would rather them tell us what they’re doing may or may not alter our curl pattern.. they’re so quick to say it’ll revert back 🙄 And some of these stylists “specialize” in natural hair & still damage it... MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!!
That’s why I’ll do my own hair from now on.. if I want damaged hair I can do that my damn self. And the same goes for trimming and cutting!! I hate to sound like I’m bashing all of them because I’m not - y’all know the ones I’m talking about.
@@ShamyraC For real! Indeed, we know the ones we’re talking about... smh.
I’m sticking to doing my hair myself. Forever and ever.
Same happened to me 😭 my hair when straightened went down to my butt but after one silk press it broke off to shoulder length. Stay natural ladies
😦 Sorry that happened to you girl.. Yes, stay natural ❤️
See this happened to me last year my hair smelled like bacon being fried and my ends did not revert at all. I had to cut everything off smh I rather damage my own hair than pay someone else to do it
Right!! Smdh
So sorry you went through this 😭😭. I’m done with salons to they always fry my hair. I’ll just stick to doing my own
Marlies J It’s okay.. definitely was a lesson learned moment. Thank God it was 2.5 years of growth versus a lifetime because I probably would’ve cried lol 😅 I agree. Most of us know what’s best for our hair.
Same reason I do my hair myself
Same
Believe it or not, a beauty school may be a better choice. You can ask questions, have the instructor come over to brief and demonstrate technique as often as you like. They are being graded. Plus, it is significantly less cost.
The way you were turning your head and swinging your hair in the car😂 I'm really sorry you dealt with that. Heat damage is the main reason I'm afraid of a silk press (I have 3c/4a hair)
😭😭 I was a hot mess! lol Thanks sis.. learn from my mistake unless you REALLY REALLY REALLY trust the person & they know what they’re doing.
@@ShamyraC For sure!! Thank you. I'm glad your hair is thriving now. One step back, 10 steps foward with knowledge
Sometimes I just go to salons to get my hair blow dried and trimmed, and then I do the rest at home. So sorry this happened to you.
Even the blow dry can be damaging. Salons can be scary places.
@@hyosomoo1437 yeah they can be sometimes I hope she searched up some reviews of the salon she went to before she went there
I go to a natural hair salon in my area I've been getting blow dries and trims every eight weeks since I big chopped which was over 6 months ago. my hair has reverted back every single time but this has me more nervous about doing a silk press.
@@maxinec2325 Yeah just use a heat protectant and use a setting thats reasonable , you dont want to over heat it , you know that iron passes through a strand more than once
Literally, I would cry if this happened to me
I called myself flat ironing my hair yesterday for the first time in 5 years, and I could not wash my hair fast enough today. I missed my curls soooo much. I absolutely could not stand having straight hair, it snagged on everything, tangled quicker than my curls do, and got in my way. I just gave myself a good trim and now I'm sitting with DC and grapeseed oil right now to make sure my curls get their snap back. Never again!!!
Every time I get my hair straightened it always gets messed up. I’ve spent the past year and a half growing my hair from being fried, heat damaged, and short(it was permanently straightened) now I’m natural with thick healthy hair! And I’m NOT going to a salon for anything but braids, I think imma do my own silk press this weekend cuz at least then I can make sure the heat isn’t too high.🤷🏾♀️
Yessss... Good for you!!!
I always get nervous when I see or hear someone say they’re getting a silk press because of what I’ve been through. But doing it yourself you have ALL the power and control to determine if it’s too hot or how many passes you need to do on one section! Being in a salon sometimes can be intimidating because the stylist thinks they know more than you do. 🙄
As long as you’re happy with the results you’ve achieved on your own, that’s all that matters! 😉💕
Yes, if you do it yourself that will save your hair. If you’re silk press your hair you smell the hair too that’s means it’s too hot.
Love this video! I had so many silk press fails in the past I decided that salons are not for me. I strengthen my hair once in awhile and use a damage repair line along with lots of heat protection and it always reverts back to healthy curl and coils.
Sorry you went through that mama! Unfortunately just like with other professions there are people that take a shortcut out like sneaking relaxer or even perm in your conditioner. I used to work at a salon where they did that and mixed it in the back smdh. There are also professionals that in my opinion didn’t truly take in what they learned in school to apply it to all of their clients or they forget the fundamentals.
Another thing that may have happened is the stylist may have used a straighten system to make the silk press easier on them. In school they call is curl reformation. It breaks down the bonds in your hair for a long time before reverting back. 🤦🏾♀️ but stylist don’t educate their clients anymore.
Lastly try a protein treatment in the mean time. Or even olaplex treatment.
🙏🏾
Yes, I agree! Very little educating going on with the clients. And most of us put our trust in the stylists because they’re the professional.
I ended up big chopping though to start over. I’m not sure what she did all I know is after 10 months my hair never went back. Taking it as a lesson learned and continue to do my hair myself. 🙂
@@ShamyraC you really should have gone back to find out what caused this..
I did a silk press a year ago and it looked beautiful. My husband loved it and I liked it, but I'd rather have my curls over straight hair. And plus I'm all silver. Thanks for sharing this video.
Wearing my hair in protective style. Cornrows...Im staying natural
Be blessed Queens. Ty for this video!
Thank you! Same to you.
ITS NOT WORTH IT YALL. The same is happening to me now.😭 I just wanted to have straight hair for a break and to get my ends trimmed and now my hair is so ugly and she ripped out a part of the front of my hair. where I literally have a bald spot. I tried to do my normal twist styles and it looks a straggly mess. my beautiful hair is gone.
You should have went back to the salon and requested immediate refund because that's awful what they did to you! There was definitely chemicals in the products they used to cause that to happen. A proper silk press (shampoo, deep condition, Blow drow, flat iron) would not cause that much curl pattern damage
You are 100% right. I do my own silk press and I shampoo, deep condition, blow dry, stream my hair , get some presseing oil and flat iron. The moment I start sweating the curl comes right back. I hate that this happen to you.
I’m so sorry this happened!!! What happened was that pressing comb was way to hot and the heat can actually break bonds. I find the same stuff happens with keratin treatments it messes my hair up so bad since the iron is 450. As a pro my honest opinion is that with a pressing comb the electric ones are better with a heat protectant silicone instead of the perteolium oil used in a traditional press
I hadn’t put heat on my hair in two years. I was taking care of it and got it to grow out nicely. I got a silk press and trim January just to see how long my hair was and treat the ends. I got SEVERE heat damage on the entire left side of my hair. There is a section in the back of my hair that did not only not revert but is still BONE STRAIGHT even after multiples washes, conditioning, and a protein treatment. I am going through it right now working to get my hair back healthy. I just want to shave it all off.
😧😧😫😔 I can feel your pain girl... I would try protective styling or hairstyles that’ll keep your hair tucked away if you’re not ready to chop it off. I waited a year after my silk press to chop it off and called myself a “straight hair natural” 😂 but deep down I knew it needed chopped off.
It’s the worst feeling to know you’ll have to start all over but that 2 years of growth will be back before you know it. I think of it like this - at least we got curious and tested it out after 2 years and not 10 years... I don’t think I could take 10 years of growth being damaged all hell would break loose. 🤣
Good luck on your journey love 💕
@ Shamyra C. Thanks girl I appreciate your feedback
@@jazzycakes66 Just let it grow out
@@jazzycakes66 how is your hair now?
This happened to my hair. I went to one stylist and she was wonderful, but her shampoo girl would wash, detangle and blow dry my hair. She was too rough and didn't comb my hair right. I could see the broken strands on my shirt and floor.
So, I tried a new stylist and she fried my hair. Talk about incompetent. At first I thought oh it will be easier to comb my hair. Then I saw the lifelessness and thought about a big chop. I prayed about it and honestly most times it's in big twists and in a scrunchie at the back of my head. So, I decided against that.
Now, that it's been a few months, I can now feel my new growth and I can see the difference between the two textures. My husband isn't black also and I remember the first time I transitioned. He felt my new growth and asked what is that. I laughed soooo hard. I also remember being worried that he wouldn't look at me the same with hair as long as my fingernail after a big chop. Thankfully, he loves me just as much as when I have long hair.
I have decided to straighten it myself from now on even though it takes forever. It is all about the number of passes through the hair. Two passes at most. Once to straighten and the second time to curl. It's so hard to find a good stylist.
You are 100% correct. I've been natural for 6 years May 2nd, so my 10 year Anniversary I wanted to surprise my husband with straight hair. I got my first silk press. The beautician told me I need to come in every 2 weeks to keep my hair healthy. Like a fool I did until this pandemic hit. So i was not able to get my hair done after March due to all the salons being closed, so I tried to straighten it myself. EPIC FAIL and my beautiful curl pattern is gone. I hate I messed up my beautiful hair. My cousin was telling me the only way to get the curl pattern back is no more silk press and probably another big chop. I'm so confused on what to do
Stephanie Hardy Oh no!!! 🥺 Try protein treatments to get your curl pattern back. I’ve seen some CZcamsrs say the aphogee protein treatment for curly hair in the jar with the yellow top works good! Might not bring it back 100% but I’d try that first. It’ll be okay, just NO MORE HEAT.
@@ShamyraC hi so since I have not been to my beautician since March, my curl pattern is coming back. All I did was wash it with Carol's daughter every week and keep braids or some kind of protective style in it. My ends are still straight but my roots are curly. Really it's starting over again. Once I chop my ends off I'll be back to normal. No more silk press for me
Stephanie Hardy Same girl! I won’t be using any heat on my hair anymore.. I’ll just pop a wig on for straight hair. I’m not trying to have to go through another big chop.
Girl the same happened to me 😭😭 i went back to the salon and demand for a refund! They damaged my hair really bad
I am 4 years natural , and i had to cut some inches, it’s like im 2 years natural again 😞😞
They made me mad since you said they did that to you
Straight up looks relaxed. Did you go back and show them what they did to your hair?
Sure does. & no, never went back.
This is exactly my experience. My hair looks just like yours! Urgh! I want my natural hair back
I know that feeling.... 😩 it’ll be okay though! At least now we know silk presses & having straight hair is not worth it.
My first time going natural I spent 2.5 years just focusing on length and what my hair would look like straight. Then finally getting it straightened “professionally” and lost it all!
I’m glad i didn’t wait 10+ years to test it out. I had to of only been 3 years natural and now I’m already 1 year post my second big chop. We’ll be back to our length before you know it.
Good luck on your journey. ☺️💛
I am so upset because I did an at home silk press and now my hair is ruined 😭
@@CaseyHanna awww.... 😫😫 this is why I wanted to share my experience. There’s so many of us that this happens to and we spend so many years trying to properly care for our hair and then find out that all it takes is one time to ruin everything.
It’ll be okay Casey.. 💕
After 6 years of work, I am in the same boat and drowning. My hair doesn’t know what to do and neither do I😰
@@qiiandii Awww 😩😩 it’ll be okay!! Don’t beat yourself up because you clearly are not the only one!! Do protein treatments to at least try to get some of curl pattern back. And if that doesn’t work you can always protective style if you’re not comfortable with cutting your hair. You see I was a straight hair natural for a good 7 months until my new growth and straight ends became a struggle for me.
That most definitely looks like a Karentin treatment or a relaxer she let sit on your hair for a couple of minutes.
U have pretty hair more of a mixed texture...like 4b/4c
Thank you! Yes I agree..
More like 4a but it’s still beautiful
Wow the same thing happened to me! At least you still have your full stock of hair, mine broke off so bad in the top that all I can do is wear a ponytail. Tried the silk press back in November, and it was wonderful. But around January it had a stick-straight look and feel that for my hair type equals bad news. It always reverted up until May, and when washing it you could practically smell the tinge from the iron.
I've been seeing the same stylist for the last five years, and all she says is well it should have reverted by now. Well no sh@!, wouldn't you know it has not. I have been natural for eight years, and was proud of my hair. Now looking at the big chop, after regrowing the bald spots. I'm like you and don't want to go near a salon for a long time. Your hair is still beautiful though!! Sorry you had this experience but thank you for posting.
Mizz J Yup that’s how my hair was!!!! Whenever I would wash it, it would smell like flat iron. When I big chopped all the hair I cut off stank. Didn’t matter how much a washed and deep conditioned it, I couldn’t get the smell out.
Lol the nerve of her.. 🙄 the stylist that did my hair was the owner and still jacked my hair up. Definitely a lesson learned and I won’t be back in another salon. Hope for the best with your hair journey 💕💕 Thank you!
@@ShamyraC thanks, and blessings with your journey as well! 💯
I've been silking out my hair for years and it doesn't fully reverse back. You gave to stop silking it out and let it grow out and cutting off the straight ends and it will revert back overtime
They are hating on you!!! Don't go to the salon....do it yourself.
Just now on this video because I just washed my hair two times and it still smells like flat iron and the back has reverted and the front curl is loosened up and the ends are straight ! I didn’t even bother I just cut off all straight ends and I will have to gradually cut it off ! I’m not too mad because I already had her cut it into a a short style and press it so it’s not like my hair was very long but still ! I don’t like for a stylist to be tricky ! I’m glad I learned now because I won’t be having it pressed again
This happened to my daughter's hair, I cry every time I wash it. I feel so bad that I ruined her hair.
😔 oh no.. it’ll be okay. I always look at it as the curiosity for silk pressing my hair is over and now I know what not to do to it. We can’t go back but I cherish every kink and coil I have now. 😊
@@ShamyraC thanks for your positive response. 🙏🏽
This just happened to me. Except my hair is stick straight. Like it looks like a relaxed my hair. The 3 years I spent growing out my previous heat damage down the drain. I am livid 😭
Just wanted to say that you, your family, and your hair are so beautiful 🥰 Blessings!
Ur hair is beautiful!!! can’t wait to see more videos from u, keep it up
Either the stylist used chemicals or extremely high heat. I used to silk press my hair every two weeks and my curls came back every time, side note I have fine 4abc hair. Everyone's hair is different but that drastic of a change in your hair says the stylist either didn't how to properly do natural hair or she used chemicals.
That sucks. Your hair looks so beautiful before you did the silk press.
Question. Why do people silk press their hair? Is there any benefit for the hair that they do it?
People might have different reasons for wanting to silk press.. could be to see their true length. switch up their hairstyle for an event. they might not want to wear weave. tired of doing their natural hair and want a break.
I just got a silk press this past Tuesday and I got one to have a thorough trim/cut
It looks like they mixed relaxer with the conditioner for your whole head to look the same
Wow you were better off trying yourself. I silk press my item hair and I’ve had no damage what so ever. All I use is heat protectant
My own hair *
I totally agree!! No way I could’ve did a worse than what she did. Your hair looks really good in your picture. 😍😍
I’ll be staying away from heat though for awhile. 😇
@@ShamyraC thank you ! That was a silk press I did myself I have NO IDEA how she did what she did to you and yes I agree . Give your hair a break
This is me right now.....my sister took me to this hairdresser I thought she was just doing an OT ...she ended up straightening it and I just thought it's the normal.washrd it after a week n the ends at the back and front didn't go natural but the middle shrinked to natural.....
I regret it so much
Oh wow... 😩😩 it’s crazy how many of us this has happened too!! And all we can do is take it as a lesson learned and chop it off or do protective styles until our hair grows back out. That’s why I won’t be having another person touch my hair EVER. I don’t care how professional or how many years they’ve been doing hair 🙅🏾♀️ It won’t happen again!
They are supposed to have a heat maximum and sometimes it is way too hot.
About the damage it could do and did. I had to keep wetting it ..putting on a bonnet overnight to see if would revertback.Needless to say she's not getting another dime
I know that’s right! We know our hair best!
The back of my hair is still straight after 5 months 😞. I am sure they had a straightening chemical in my hair. I will never do that again 😪. My hair is ruined
Happened to me too! My usual stylist was busy & I was depressed for a silk press...
U sure they didn't do a relaxer instead ?
I’m about to shampoo my hair right now I hope my hair goes back nappy after this silk press.also I notice my hair was falling out after having silk press
Where was this video before I got mine. My hair looks just like yours now. I’m so upset
I wish I had seen this video before my silk press and cut. Needless say my hair is breaking of especially in the back. Due to COVID and my crazy work schedule. I was too tired to to do my hair, as I always do. Unable to wear double strand twist. So I’m rocking an Afro. Which I must braid each night. My hair now needs to be cut all off. Hurt and very pissed. It cost me a lot of money!! From healthy and natural! To damage
Oh no… I’m so sorry that happened to you. And it’s a shame because there’s nothing we can do to our hair after the fact to bring it back. We just have to live & learn. I did protective styles for about a year before I decided to big chop.
I just wanted to ask how many times a year were you getting your hair press? In order to maintain your girl pattern you should only press about three to four times a year.
This was my first silk press since going natural in 2015. First and Last!
@@ShamyraC I don’t blame you. Always say those flat iron are made for weaves and wigs not for human hair. Even though they have heat control it’s a different kind of heat oppose you the straightening comb!
My 1st time of silkpress messed up my hair. I am still in shock and have not recovered yet. I am still hoping it will after the 2nd wash in a few weeks😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
Try the Aphogee protein treatments.. and no heat for awhile to see if some texture/curl pattern will come back.
They added some form of relaxer to your hair I can’t believe it’s so straight even after washing.
Yes, I’m sure she did. She also had her Marcel Flat Iron turned up to 1,000 it felt like. 🥵
Thank you for sharing ☺💜💛I pray all is well💜mo hair💛
Thank you 🤗
Heat damage or was there some relaxer in the conditioner they used?
I thought thought the same thing after the fact!! because she did let something sit on my hair for a couple minutes but she said it was “shampoo”. 😒
I was about to comment the same thing! Was it a Dominican salon? They're known for putting relaxer in the conditioner🤦🏽♀️
Nazeerah Hill-Spavlik no black owned.. & she was the owner smdh
Yeah, there definitely was some relaxer in there. 😐 That's the first thing I thought of too.
I would really love to see you do a review of Straight Silk Spray Heat Protectant by JuniorLabs. It absolutely keeps my hair silky smooth 😍👌😍
I’m actually done with applying heat to my hair 😔 but I’ll definitely check and see if there are CZcams videos on it to see the results! ☺️
Girl, you must have went to Dominicans. They use excessive heat. My silk press always convert back to my kinky curls. Your heat damage actually look like my damage when I used to go to the Dominican.
Sorry, I don’t get silk presses, I get pressing curls🤷🏾♀️
This happened to my identical twin sister and she had to do a big chop also.......I went natural in 2013 and I have not had a silk press at all I'm too scared to actually get one
My advice would be to get a wig if you want straight hair.. I won’t be straightening my natural hair ever again, it’s not worth it. I used to want to show how long my hair was by straightening it but as I got older it doesn’t matter to me anymore.
i’m never pressing my hair again because this literally just happened to me.
and i only kept the press for two fucking days
Girl... I know exactly how you feel 🤦🏾♀️ try some protein treatments before you decide on cutting your hair. You might be able to bring some curl/texture back into it.
@@ShamyraC i know i’m not going to cut it because the damage is really minor but i still hate it, my natural hair stylist is going to do a treatment on me soon
My coils are kinda tight so I’m ok with losing some of my curl/coil pattern. Mine have never been defined so I have nothing to miss
Same
No silk press for me. Sorry you went through this girl smh
It’s okay! I wish I had a video to watch prior to getting it done.
Hmm i think the damage was cute
lol thank u!
😂
whew chile this just gave me PTSD. i stopped going to salons in 2019 after this woman dyed my hair and immediately started detangling my hair with a damn vent brush. like sis??? my hair was thin AF afterwards.
That’s a damn shame.. they’ll literally rip our hair out and not care!! The salon I went to she didn’t even section my hair or anything it was in the driest state and she ripped through with a comb. I was thinking “Ima get out of this chair with bald spots”. 🤦🏾♀️ I didn’t even get to see the hair on the floor she swept it up so fast! 😂 NEVER AGAIN!!!
Happened to me and I don't know what to do
this happened to me. with a ton of shedding included. never again.
They didn’t use heat protection?
I don’t remember but clearly didn’t use enough or any at all.
@@ShamyraC smh They don’t know how to deal with natural hair
Thank you!
Omgggg 13/05/24.. here I am experiencing the same trauma 🥹 I was not expecting that
Aw, I’m so sorry. I always think back and wonder where my hair would be today had I not got that silk press but it’s okay I take it as a lesson learned. Haven’t went to another stylists since.
they relaxed your hair
Same experience
Any advice
Went through the same thing in April, had to chop it down!
It’s crazy how many of us this has happened to. I probably won’t step foot in another salon again. I know how to work with my natural hair and I know how to cornrow to throw a wig on. *I’m GOODT*
@@ShamyraC I completely agree 🤕. I have continued to go to one salon but only for heat free services. A stylist will never touch my hair with heat....EVER AGAIN! I found a natural stylist that doesn't use heat so im grateful and I dont even go to her more than 3 times a year.
You need to sue her. Omg she must of had keratin in your shampoo
lol no I didn’t sue her. I liked the damage at first so I wasn’t that mad about it.. Once my new growth started coming in thats when I knew it was time to big chop. Straight Hair Natural was not it for me lol
Yikes. She must have had the temp to 450!
Felt like 800 🤣🤣
Wow
This happens to me all the time I first press my 4c hair. 🤷🏾♀️ maybe genetic
Silk press is just as bad as relaxing hair. Learn to stick with natural or wigs.
Agreed.
saaame for the back at the side like why...
Luckkkkyyyy I get silk press all the time and still have 4b hair
To be honest it was cute..you probably needed to put some products in it
Lol I get a lot of comments of people saying it looked cute! What wasn’t cute was the two different textures I had to battle between once my new growth started growing in. I think if i kept up with the silk presses (similar to getting relaxers) I wouldn’t have that much to struggle with.
@@ShamyraC some people are heat trained natural...i am considering it
This happened to me 😭
I don't think this is worth it!
It’s not! I understand wanting a break from our natural hair but getting a silk press that turns out to look like a relaxer is ridiculous.
🙅🏾♀️
Yeah they did you soo dirty
Tell me about it. Never again!
Hi Shamyra! I'm a producer at Fresh Film Productions. We're working with a leading beauty brand to create a lighthearted look at the effect lockdown has had on how we are handling and experimenting with our hair care in the absence of our regular hairdresser. We'll be editing the images and clips into short film to be aired online in the USA and hopefully bring a smile to the viewers in these extraordinary times
We are very interested in featuring this image/ clip. If selected, you would be compensated. Email me back if you would like to be featured - jess@freshfilmprod.com
What kind of flat iron (or was it hot comb) did she use?? How many passes, if you don’t mind my asking.
She used one of those stove iron flat irons.. I found one on google called The Feather Flat iron so you know what it looks like. She had that thing HOTTT!!!
Shamyra Chacon: Ahhh I see! I actually liked your hair. I’m hoping I can find a stylist that can do this for me. I actually had it before - years ago, when a stylist used a flat iron followed by a stovetop marcel flat iron on my hair. My front bang area stayed elongated/curly at the ends. But I followed CZcams protocol and cut it off. However, I no longer consider this as damage, my hair was pretty and not breaking or anything. I consider breaking/balding hair to be damaged hair. But my 4c hair is nothing like CZcams 4c hair; mine is way more kinky and about 90% shrinkage; and basically uncombable without some heat or other assistance. Thanks again. THIS CONFIRMS WHAT I NEED TO DO! ☺️
Shamyra Chacon: I’m excited, sorry so long! I’m a heat trained natural and I have been trying to mimic your stylists results for a few years (off and on) with different flat irons (high quality salon brands) - BUT MY HAIR ALWAYS REVERTS & shrinks back - even when I use the highest heat setting. I’m like, how come I can never get “heat damage” like CZcams ppl, lol?! Only when I went to a stylist. But they’re so ruff on kinky hair like mine, I’m scared to go (rough detangling/blowdrying). But if I can do it myself even better. I suspected it was the marcel stove flat iron she used. I thought it was funny when she pulled out the marcel after she had already flat ironed my hair with the plug in😂. That let’s you know how kinky I am! 😂. Elite Hair on CZcams does a similar technique for some of her 4c clients that are super kinky (except she uses hot comb followed by flat iron). Anyway, this will make my journey so much easier 🙏🏾
Lol yes!!! Girl if looser curl patterns is what you want then definitely go for the marcel flat iron technique. And make sure she cranks that thang all the way up!! My eyes were watering and forehead sweating - that’s how hot it was!! She asked me if I was ok and I said yeah like a dumby 🙄😂😂 but if that’s what you want go for it! I pretended to be a straight hair natural after the fact but never went back. You’d have to continue getting the silk presses to touch up the roots.
Don’t follow CZcams... do what works best for YOU! 🤗☺️😉 Hope you find the right salon!
I’m not sure how many passes she did.
