You have a truly beautiful head of hair. I have learned that you should be doing protein/strengthening treatments BEFORE you plan to straighten hair to give it the strength to withstand heat. All over KZfaq people are doing videos on how to “fix it”, when that really isn’t truly possible if you have true heat damage. Hair is not like skin, which is living tissue. It is just dead protein, so cannot be “repaired”. Any treatments you apply to damaged hair are temporary. You have to keep doing them to maintain the condition of the hair after damage is done. That’s why you see people with true heat damage end up cutting it off. Luckily yours is minimal. Also a lot of the products used in a silk press have silicones, so you need to wash your hair with a sulphate shampoo to remove them. That way you can really assess the condition of your hair. That’s probably why you see people say it will revert after a few washes, when in reality, they still had some residual silicone on their hair, but the shampoo they were using was not enough to remove it in one wash so it took more time to revert. 🤷🏾‍♀️

your hair looks sooo moisturizing i cant even tell the heat damage 🥺🥺

For me, my hair usually reverts back to its original coily state by the second wash after straightening; maybe thatll happen to you, who knows🤷🏿‍♀️

Love your skin. With love from Ghana🇬🇭

You don't know how shocked I was when i read that title, my heart i know exactly how you feel...I've been thru a dramatic heatdamage phase like my hair texture even went from 4a/b to 3a/b - you will get thru it tho :)

😟 atleast it's minimal

Your hair has grown a lot since January. Just beautiful.

No worries I’m sure it’ll bounce back really soon! You take such great care of your hair! It’s flourishing 😍😍😍

Same thing happened to me. I do not apply heat to my hair at home and went to a natural hair salon with healthy hair. I left with heat damage 💀😒. Like yours, mine is not TERRIBLE but still after investing so much time and careful handling, this setback is very frustrating

A good protein treatment usually fixes it. My hair does that every time I straighten it and I only straighten in the fall and winter months.

Damn, heat damage at the ROOT sucks😣its basically gonna be in a transitioning phase for a whilee

Your bottle may be clogged; try using a pin or hot water where it comes out.

When I read the title, my heart literally sunk, until I found out it just a small section.

I hope it will bounce back over time, maybe a few protein treatments will help. This is my biggest fear, I would like to straighten my hair but I think my 4b hair is just too fragile for heat

Your skin is sooo gorgeous

Heat damage from the silk press you did the other day ?

Aphogee’s Curlific shampoo and texture treatment will get you all the way together love. I would sit under my hair steamer for 20 minutes while the texture treatment was in my hair. That helps with elasticity. The front section of my hair is more prone to get heat damage than the rest, and it used to look just like yours. My curls are super tight now. That line brought my curls back to life! I used it twice a week in the beginning for a over a month then I would alternate and use Aphogee’s two step protein treatment as well every other month. It works!

Darn girl, but thanks for sharing. Would you take the risk and straighten again or no?

This always happens to me when I straighten my hair 😩 maybe after a few protein treatments they’ll bounce back. I always get straight bits in my nape and front and they bounce back after some protein treatments. Your hair is still beautiful 😍

I’m so so sad right now. I’ve been natural sense I was six but never appreciated my natural hair and instead wore wigs (once I turned like 16) and literally never let anyone see my hair. We have VERY similar hair. I found your channel like a year ago and have been basically copying all of your styles and loving it! I even allowed my boyfriend to see my natural hair and wore it to family events! I recently decided to do an at home silk press (I used heat protectant and only used 430 degrees with two passes) and my hair is completely different. In the back there is severe heat damage there are certain sections that are completely straight literally will not curl. The overall hair literally went from a beautiful doily 4C to some sort of damaged 4a/4b. Very discouraged 😩😢

Oh dear sorry, you hair still looks lovely!!!

The same thing happened to me after I got a silk press, but the person who did my hair used a lot more heat in the blow drying process. He also went over my roots a few times. I have 4B and 4C hair... with the front being 4B. I’ll never do that again.

So sorry to hear this. 😩😭

This happened to me two years ago. I got heat damage on my roots and my ends ALL OVER MY HEAD. I transitioned for two years cutting off pieces little by little and did a "big chop" two months ago.

Just grow it out, girl 💛

I think u have the healthiest and shiniest hair of all the natural you tubers. I believe the water is better there!

Oh my gosh the same thing happened to me when I straightened my hair in September it has grown but I got lucky it under a layer of hair in the front

I knew it after I saw what happened in that salon. it should take a month or so for the hair to recover from heat even without heat damage maybe over time it will revert some more. I like mielle's deep conditioner for a non-cheap quality protein treatment.

Sis, we need a lip care routine 😍 cuz your lips always be looking juicy & hydrated

Its ok!

Have you had at least 3 washes? When the hair is dry and straight for a while the it can take a few washes to completely revert.

Where did you get your spray bottle from? I’ve been looking for it here in the uk

What do u use on ur lips??

damn

You are sooo precious!!...beautful hair!!

NOOOOO I REFUSE TO BELIEVE

Heat damage is real. I ended up chopping off the damage part and am back to square one to grow my hair back.

1st

You might want to check out Green Beauty's Real Protein treatment(here on KZfaq)...Your damage seems minimal but her protein treatment is the BEST hands down🤗...

So pretty

New to your videos, may I ask why you wear gloves ?

Where is she?

You could try Olapex

So sorry to hear about the heat damage hun! Will you be doing videos on how to nurse heat damaged hair back to health? Also can you do a video about your hair color? It's bombbbb 😍🔥🔥

Do you believe you've received Heat damage as a result of visiting Elite Hair Lounge?

Give it time and it will revert back!

Did you know either Bentonite or Ghassoul clay treatments reverse heat damage.

Ok. Nothing too scarring but it looks irritating 😅

Try olaplex I think it’ll bounce back

Why was this me. I had to cut my hair, it was mainly my ends so I only had to cut those off. Lost about 3-4 inches 😭 but we move. You’re actually my hair twin, and we have the same name too!

I have heat damage like that too but I don't mind it because it now looks like I have 3c hair there

Just do a couple of protein treatments. It will bounce back.

Just do a protein treatment. Sometimes your hair needs to get use to being back curly.

My situation right now 😢😢

I just got heat damage to i wil just cut it

Heat relaxes the curls. I don’t think it’s heat damage but your curls are straightened because it’s f the heat.

Thats an annoying section to get get heat damage but at least it's just a little. Next time, try doing protein treatment before and after using heat

Use aphogee 2 step treatment

Olaplex should fix that

Girl damage where. You barely have heat damage 🤣

It will bouce back. Use aphogee 2step treatment 2 times in 6 month. It will Be ok
