Yes!! I will never get a curly cut again. Now I get a blow dry and trim.

So sorry your hair got so damaged! I’m thrilled to see your hair is back to being healthy ♥️🙌🏽 I personally think it’s a combination of many things not just the hooded dryer. 😅 I feel the curly cuts do not address all the split ends which snowball throughout the full head of hair. It’s not just contained to the ends. There’s zero damage from the actual act of cutting but it’s what’s missed that I think attributes to some of the damage. Also, because the damage isn’t contained to just the ends of the hair, it seems to take a series of corrective cuts to fix it all. 😢 Next, I believe the lack of products containing oils and butters within the 1st 5 ingredients amplifies the damage being inflicted. That and the frequency of washing with a lathering & shampoo just further strips the hair. Top it all with a hooded dryer/difusser and it becomes a real mess! I also, agree with you about the store brand products offer more protection too. That was my experience always with using Pantene for 15+ years. My hair was waist length and ridiculously healthy! When you step back and look at it, It’s like the perfect storm! And it takes several corrective cuts to bring your hair back to a healthy state. I’ll be getting my 3rd corrective cut this month and my stylist says I’ll probably need another 2 or so inches cut off again. Supposedly this last cut will set me free! 😅 In summary I think KZfaq University had it right the first time. It just needed a few small tweaks. And I think once I share how I believe I’ve connected all the dots it’ll definitely help everyone understand how everything played off each other. 🫣 Awesome video and your hair looks absolutely beautiful! 😍💯

Absolutely love love this video! You definitely hit it on the nail with the using the hooded DRYER every week! I did the same exact hair routine you did and my ends dot the same way. I been looking for someone to actually tell me what happened and how to FIX it and what NOT to do!😊😊 Thanks you so much!

It’s good know to the details behind a curly cut. I didn’t know they tell you to stop certain stuff but your hair is beautiful.

Sorry to hear that you and your daughter's hair suffered, but glad that you're back on track now! 👍🏼

Great video! It was amazing seeing your hair diary of pictures. Wash n go's seem to much work for me which is why I never considered it. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for sharing!

Silicones help protect the hair from heat damage. I still use silicone products I'm just strategic when I use those products. And make sure to clarify to get the silicone out of my hair

Thank you so much for sharing your hair journey. My daughter, who is 14, has never had a relaxer and only had her hair flat ironed about 10 times in her life. She primarily wears her hair in two strand twists, then a twist out. She had been going to a natural stylist for about 4 months. We had to switch stylist and noticed her ends were becoming extremely thin. We were told she had some heat damage. I'm confused. She hardly even blow drys here hair. I have done everything I know to do to help her maintain her healthy hair. Honestly, I'm a bit confused. Do I just use gel and foam for a twist out, do I use a cream and oil? So needless to say, I really appreciate your videos. I will continue to research. God Bless!

It’s called pre poo. When we add oil to our hair. According a chemist on KZfaq who discusses natural hair, our hair actually likes oil more than water. It can prevent moisture overload. I’ve had similar issue with my hair when flat ironing it. It just look frizzy and my curls are no longer defined long periods of time. I’m learning it’s because my hair is too high porous. Which means my hair cuticle is lifted too much (aka damaged) so moisture leave out just as quick as it enter. It’s said that hot oil treatments using oils can eventually help recover from this. This is a journey learning natural hair 😫 trying to figure out if the hair need moisture, oil, protein. How to balance all those and how often to use all those.

This happen to me too and I havnt done a wash and go for 3 years. Too much breakage for me and no matter what I did my hair was always dry. I’m done

Just would love to know which hair products you use because I’m having issues with length and I do not use a hood dryer. I have one and a steam cap. I get my ends clipped or trimmed and I’m still at the same length. Sincerely frustrated

Your hair is beautiful. Straight but not. One straight. Beautiful

It's not the hooded dryer.

This video was very confusing. As soon as I thought I was getting info I could use - I didn’t. I don’t feel like I ever got the final routine or the product. It felt like it was all over the place with no final answer. Your hair looks very nice though by the way🙂
