Baby that deep condition is the truth. I can't wait to try the shampoo and oil

I’m a straight natural as well. I’ve been getting my hair silk pressed once a month for 8 years, no heat damage and my hair is to the middle of my back currently.

I retained the longest hair of my life when I silk pressed my hair monthly for 6 months ❤

I did an experiment. I wore my hair straight ALL of 2023. Now I am back to wash n gos with no curl damage. No dryness. And I have retained _all of my length_ from last year ❤

I retain more length when I wear my hair straight. I guess it has something to do with not having to detangle my hair as much.

Only issue that may arise is when or if you decide that you want to see your natural curl pattern, your hair has been trained out of that so only the new growth will produce your original curls the rest will be a more wavy lose curl like we see the young lady have. The issue most woman have with silk presses is they want the best of both worlds; bone straight this week and ancestral curls next week. Heat applied often trains your hair to be straighter and the curls will not bounce back as tight. I like the commitment to straight this lady made at least she knows what she wants.

This hairstylist the truth she gentle on the hair and the client she ain’t trying to throw unnecessary shade and things like most of these youtube stylists ; it’s refreshing❤

Family members DO NOT all have the "same genes". The mom's genes are from HER mother & father. Therefore---the mom would be pulling genes from ANYONE in her genetic pool from either side of HER parents. The same for her daughters. They would be pulling genes from not only the mother's side, but anyone on their father's side as well. It is quite possible to have related people with DIFFERENT hair types. This woman may have genes for longer hair growth (in addition to good haircare), while her mother & sister may not, EVEN though they may ALSO take good care of her hair.

I'm glad you brought out how everyone's hair can take different treatment and/or abuse! Because of different textures, thicknesses, and porosity. Genetics is important too!

I’ve been growing my hair out correctly since 18 I’m 25 I had a “big chop” at 18 and now my hair is almost 25’ inches long (it’s around 23’). I wasn’t always curly! Most of the years I had my hair straight almost every month. It’s about how you care for your hair and protect it during heat process etc. super proud of her. Love your work! Thank you for sharing 🫶🏻

I honestly love the idea of straight natural! Much better than getting a relaxer! I prefer blowouts myself !

She is a baddie! Shell you slayed that hair! She was feeling it at the end 😂

At the end of the day its about what works best for you. And whatever you choose to do, just take care of it.

For me it's just easier. As much as I love my curls I don't wanna deal with it everyday and so I wear my hair straight most of the time.

If my hair looked like this after blow drying i'd leave it that way but it doesnt 😂 Grease has been saving my silk press this winter, i use it after straightening to protect my hair and its first time my hair has gone a week and its still as soft as when i first straightened it and my edges have also done pretty well with reversion. So damn happy. Her hair looks amazing and great stylist!

Hair length goals 🥹

The shampoo is the BEST part as a client.

I love your outlook on the natural hair, such a professional

She’s beautiful and has gorgeous hair. Do what works best for you, lady! ❤

I am a straight natural and my hairstylist is amazing my curls come right back every wash. None of my curls are damaged.

Wow, she does have healthy hair. Awesome job, Shell!😍👏🏽👏🏽

Just started my silk press journey . I’m two months in and loving it. It’s crazy how my shedding is so minimal

i was struggling up keeping my natural hair as it got longer. My hair was littered with single strand knots and it always felt dry. I even have some breakage due to the protective styles i’d try to put it in so since september or so i blow dry and straighten my hair every wash day. I also snipped off all the dead ends and knots which was like a good 3-4 inches of hair. Now since then i take a pic of my hair after every press and it’s shocking how much length i’ve retained and so quickly, i’ve grown back everything i chopped off already. The routine is much quicker for me to do as well, though i do have heat dmg and my curls have dropped but my individual strands are thick and moisturized and sturdy. I wrap my hair every night and oil my ends, i haven’t had any noticeable breakage and i always deep condition. I like this routine for me and i don’t know if i recommend it but it works for me. If u can’t part with your curls don’t do it. Me personally i never wore my natural hair and jus wore wigs but now all i wear is my hair out. Do what u want to your hair but be weary of the pros and cons. I find i do need to dust more often to keep my ends looking fresh and full and my hair gets oily fast but i plan on keeping this up till we’ll forever i guess. Once i find a routine i don’t like to change it. My mother always had long thick healthy hair despite being relaxed her whole life so maybe that’s why my hair can handle the heat without breaking off and drying out. I want to see how long i can grow my hair this way since i’ve always wanted hair down to my butt lol. As for routine i stretch for wash and press day every 3 weeks but i’m thinking of making it everyone 2 because i have a very sensitive scalp and it gets itchy and irritated fast, and the only way to alleviate it is a good wash. I will add that i only do one pass and for heat i dk either 375 or 410. Since my hair is heat dmged it silks out easier so i’ve been doing 375 now. My advice is there’s so one size fits all for hair. If what you are doing now works don’t change if, if you are struggling and want to try and new routine you have the right to do so. It’s our hair at the end of the day, we should do what makes us feel happy with it and what encourages us to wear it ^^

Her hair is GORGEOUS!

Gorgeous results! Thank you for mentioning GENETICS! I feel like it would be really tough to do this with very coarse 4c hair because more heat is required in blowdrying and pressing. Thanks for sharing!🔥🔥🔥

She’s right that not all people can handle being a “straight natural” and some people can get more silk presses than others. My hair hates heat. Unlike my hairdressers in the past, I know how to press my hair without causing heat damage. However, I keep presses to a minimum. I’ve gone to stylists and suffered heat damage after a single silk press. I know other people who have had the same experience.

This video was so informative being I’m looking to get my girls a silk press! New subbie❤

She needs to use bond building products like olaplex, k18 and loreal ever pure. Her hair is healthy but still has some heat damage to a degree

yasss looks so good ! ❤

Great video💚 and the information you provided is valuable!

When I used to get my silk press biweekly my hair grew so long! It’s never been that long since I stopped! Consistent silk press definitely grow your hair

I felt like every time I had a question you answered it immediately! She has gorgeous hair btw 💁🏽‍♀️

What a lovely silk press! I ♥️ your videos. 😍

Yassssss...Shell killed this. 😍😍 New subbie here 👍🏾 I'm a licensed cosmetologist as well and I sincerely appreciate her for spreading the word about this topic so much. I love heat training my natural hair. Heat training is a great option for those who want to loosen their curl pattern without the use of chemicals. I have been heat training my hair for years a I love it so much that I wrote a book about it on Amazon because so many people give heat training natural hair a bad rap. When I post about it on my tiktok or IG it is sooooo triggering to people and the natural hair nazis and hair police come for me saying that my hair is damaged. My hair is thriving and retaining length like crazy. IMO, Damaged hair is hair that is dry, breaking, split with no elasticity. With so many people going back to relaxers, I appreciate Shell and other heat trained naturals for discussing this topic. 😘😘😘😘 We have to remove the negative connotations associated with "heat training" ❤❤❤

Her hair looks pretty healthy to be straightened all the time! I have seen some straight naturals and after they shampoo it…there’s no sign that a curl pattern ever existed 😳

Beautiful results, sis 😍 ❤ 👌

Her hair is beautiful!!

I'm happy you clarified that to the viewer about the different textures of hair and it might work differently for each individual person 👍

Her face is freaking adorable 😍 great job on her lovely hair❤❤❤

WOW!!! Simply BEAUTIFUL😍So very lush & healthy💁🏽‍♀️🙌🏽

New subscriber. Her hair is gorgeous!

Her hair looks great ❤

We need more stylists like you

Thank you for the video. I loved when you said “No one hair is perfect”…..ladies, there is no one size fits all for your hair. You have to do what is best for your hair. I am relaxed and my hair does extremely well. However, that is what works for me personally. Her hair is beautiful and perfectly made for her and you are correct overall it is healthy.

Your hair is so beautifully long ❤ I wish my real hair was that long DAMN!.

Her hair is heat trained that’s why her hair is like that. And you made a good point when you said “ not everyone can get consistently get a silk press all the time” and yes I personally can’t be using all that heat on my hair without getting some heat damage .

I just made a purchase, thank you for sharing the links!!

We need to educate ourselves on what healthy looks like. Just because your hair is long doesn't mean its healthy

Wow her hair turned out fantastic

VERY beautifully done!! Client has a gorgeous head of hair!

Her hair is beautiful and looks healthy.🥰

Beautiful! I love her hair color.

I love her hair. It looks healthy to me. I want to be a straight natural most of the time and prefer more curls than this but honestly, if I got this eventually, I would not mind. It's about manageability and reducing time for care for me and hair length goals.

Absolutely beautiful ❤

That is some beautiful hair!!

Good Morning. I am encouraged this morning. Silk press for me. Blessings.

It's time to find your shop and make an appointment.

Beautiful hair!!

Her hair is beautiful and healthy!😍

Excellent video!

MMMM this is sooo nice... I was looking for a change, I think I found it!

That conair silver bird is amazing

She has a full head of hair beautiful and healthy end result was gorge, so envious ❤

Gorgeous!!! 💕💕💕💕

Naw, her hair looks good! What's her regimen between salon visits? Does she straighten herself? How often?

Beautiful hair!

Been watching your channel and love the results of your clients hair. Could you talk about the products you use and your growth oil?. Thanks

This is beautiful.. everybody's hair is different.

Looks good 🎉

Her being a straight natural, that’s definitely GREAT health! This is why proper technique is necessary. Some people get ONE silk press and have to end up doing big chops from the damage 😢

I think the client’s genetics help her with length. For me, I prefer wearing my hair curly because I don’t want to be worried about the texture changing in the rain or not being able to jump in the pool whenever I please. Her hair is beautiful. I do like to get my hair pressed at the salon to clip ends and get my color done but 99% of the time I can’t be bothered with blown out hair. It’s too much work for me. 😂

She could have left it in the blow dried state ; I love fluffy hair more then bone straight

I'm thinking of going back to this. When I was in high school, I wore my hair straight. I would get a good blow-dry once every 3 months cause I went to a boarding school. That was the routine for 4years. By the end of 4 years I had waist-length hair then I started tampering with it, installing braids, and now a curly natural but my hair ain't as long or healthy as it used to be.

Her hair is beautiful but if long hair regardless is relaxed an flat ironed it gonna look thinner as the years increase the cuticle is damaged it's not meant for natural curly to have bone straight an constantly straightening the edges with heat to match the rest of the hair or sew in leaveout

Omg it’s gorgeous

NICE!! Not fake but the real deal!! I love it!

So pretty and healthy 🩷🩷🩷🩷

She sooo pretty and her hair gorgeous

So pretty ❤

I am a straight natural, and you know what white people straighten their hair too. I dont get fairy knots anymore and no breakage. I take very good care of my hair, my hair looks very nice and full. In my profile pic I have a lace front this was my first and last time with a lace front🤣 I prefer a more natural look aka my hair.

i’ve honestly been doing more of a straight natural routine as well except i don’t silk press, just blow my hair out once a week on wash day! definitely seeing a big improvement in length retention since i started doing this, not to mention it’s made my routine SOOO much easier and i haven’t noticed any difference in my curl pattern when i do decide to wear my hair curly. i think because i use the revair to blow it out so it doesn’t get super hot to begin with and i still always use a leave-in with heat protectant

I have 4c hair and I stopped relaxing in 2016. My hair is healthy now and I silk press my hair only when I need a trim. I let the professionals do it tho.

Nice to see someone say “straight natural” I have come across some natural gurus who don’t consider you an equal if you are straight and natural lol Personally I think everyone needs to do what works for them. For me personally, the climate I live in is not a place where curls can thrive. It is dry and dryer. Myself and daughters hair is healthy, growing and thriving being straight naturals. I think you have to do what works best for you and unfortunately we live in the wild Wild West where it is dry and our hair, skin and nails suffer from it.

I have found that with the right tools and products a silk press is just fine. I stopped relaxing about two years ago and my hair has rewarded me for it. It’s much healthier and I can always go curly if I want to.

Her hair is beautiful.

The heat will makes her hair thin. To me it’s already thin.

I have been straightening my hair for more than 30 years and I haven't had any major issues but true some can

I’d want to roller set her hair and skip tension blow dry then only having to hit her roots twice and length once with the iron once out of the rollers

I was a straight natural for most of my life and my hair looked like this up until 6 years ago when I big chopped and went curly. I can tell her curls will be incredible if she ever stops heat styling.

Beautiful ❤️

I love it she’s beautiful

Her hair is so pretty

I feel like if she would let you trim a bit more, it would help so much. But she does still have some beautiful hair, just not as thick as it could be

Beautiful 💖

Her hair is gorgeous…

I I straighten my hair every week. And my curl pattern has not changed. However, I do not use a flat iron. I use a straightener brush. And I use K 18 or olaplex.

It’s very beautiful ✨

Beautiful hair, health hair...

Good morning and Happy New Year! Where is your business located? City and State? Enjoyed the video!

Gorgeous head of hair
