6 MONTHS of Wearing My HAIR STRAIGHTENED. BEST PROTECTIVE STYLE By FAR!! Dramatic INCREASE in LENGTH

[@peachy_reina]

People freaking out about not washing for 3 months, but some do the same when they wear braids 3-6 months

[@DynamicTouch]

Although I am not washing, I am still keeping up with scalp and hair care. people are usually surprised that my press is that old when I am out and about. Thank you for making that comparison and for commenting and watching!

Straightening my hair made it grow down to by bum! Its the best protective style.

How often do you straighten it ?

[@searching8848]

@@leah38521 twice a week, i use a roller set to dry it for an hour then style it how ever i want straight/wavy/curly. look up ethiopian style roller set you should be able to find a good one.

Very nice . Does this mean that you dont blow dry or flat iron?

[@ItsTyshae]

What do you do when your scalp gets itchy? Also, do you use any oils?

[@maverickmayhem6409]

Straight hair allows sebum to travel down the hair shaft and the use of less product can result in healthy scalp. No wet dark, creamy environment to create scalp issues.

[@HavInspires]

This is why I’m considering becoming a straight hair natural

[@_LilacRoses]

So true, when wearing my hair natural I get terrible scalp psoriasis on my scalp after a few days of products/wash and gos. When my hair is straight all of that vanishes!

[@Crissy991]

I love your channel. I was natural for decades and got tired of it. The natural hair community is so toxic. I just recently started back flat ironing/ heat training my hair . I dont miss those long wash days and having to buy those million and one products not one bit . My routine is easy and simple now and my hair is thriving . I dont dread wash days any more . Being a straight hair natural is so much better

[@DynamicTouch]

Since my hair is very coily and very long, my wash days will never be short, but I love this new routine because it is simpler and affordable. I also love that my curls bounce back without any heat damage. (check out my latest wash day to see my hair texture: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnLEkGqBj52igqs ) It's nice to see so many women switching up their routines and thank you for sharing your experience!

[@xXJade_AssassinXx]

Straightening just helps protect the hair, because it drastically reduces the curls tangling and riping amongst themselves. I just bun mine or where a hat (I can at my job) and my hair grows like white girl hair 😂. I keep mine straight 3 months at a time. Hair is never dirty, just smells like the few products I use which are fruity. Our hair doesnt get dirty like white ppl hair ya'll, even straight, our coarse texture just doesnt hold dirt or smell. Its usually absorbing so much product, we have to reapply.

[@faithyayi]

I love that you were able to achieve this length with kinky hair. I’m a new straight natural but i love to wash my hair every 3-4 days. I’m still figuring out my routine 😭

[@misskate8828]

If it is because of itchy scalp (my case), I know that there are some products dedicated (but it kind of defeat the whole "less products" purpose :( )

[@beautifulmelanatedgoddess2299]

The natural hair community is too obseessed woth protein treatments/ bonding treatments. Usinf rice water,defoning curls with eco styler gel,using curling smoothies curling puddings and curlinf custards and curling souflees curling creams to define curls The natural hair community is obsessed with avoiding products that contain silicones,petrolatum, mineral oil, sulphates and sulfates / parabens . The natural hair community is obsessed with deep conditoning and using cocounut oil and onion juice. The natural hair community needs to understand that you don't need organic products for tour hair to grow long and healthy and you don't need to spend expensive money on unnecessary hair products for your hair to thrive sticking to a sulfate shampoo that cleans your scalp and using hair grease and lotion is fine it's very simple and not too complicated . You don't need sulfate free shampoo like creme of nature or can't or shea moisture ,mielle etc and other popular brands natural gurus push to you and market to you they are just getting paid to lie about the product to get promotion and sponsored for money. The natural hair community needs to uplift each other whether black women choose to be natural or relaxed and stop attacking and bashing each other over what another women chooses to do with their hair whether relaxed or natural. I love the fact that the natural hair movement taught black women their hair is beautiful and to appreciate and become more accepting of their hair in its afro state and even though I'm a relaxed girl im all for that but I'm not a part of the natural hair club. I feel like when it comes to hair you should not feel as though you have a burden placed upon yourself to be natural to showcase and assert black identity or black beauty and to be a representative for black beauty hair is hair I'm not my hair it's important to have fun be stylish and creative.

[@ashleycbla]

As far as I know African woman in Africa who use chebe to grow their hair to butt length only use chebe and keep it on their hair for months before washing it out if at all (they may wait until their hair gets to desired length then wash and reapply) , so this method of growing kinky hair long sounds like a great method in the USA only if you don’t do much (swimming, workout, around people who smoke cigarettes, etc.) and this is great method for stay at home moms to try.

[@Mochi_chan737]

That's what I was thinking too

[@IvyMercedes1687]

They also use grease to seal in the moisture after putting in the chebe I never hear anyone talking about this they use grease with the chebe

Dry shampoo helps to keep the scalp clean and remove some of the excess oils. Ayurvedic clay powders can help as well if you want to go the natural route. My straight hair last me for 3 weeks. For the colder months I'm planning in keeping my hair straight for 3 weeks at a time while taking a 4 week break in between and give myself 2 wash day sessions to give myself a good cleaning and moisture.

[@moonzy172]

Dry shampoo does not clean the scalp. It may soak up sebum but it does not kill any microbes on your scalp that cause scalp disorders such as dandruff. Dry shampoo is primarily a styling product created to temporarily fix the appearance of flat and oily hair in straighter hair types between actual frequent washing.

[@rainydaysunnylife5718]

witchhazel is what I use to keep my scalp clean while wearing crochet braids. I apply it with a cloth and gently rub.

Amazing video! Very informative, very well detailed, and really gives me the courage to start heat training. I tried straightening my hair myself before but it always came out too puffy for me, now I will be more open to embracing the puff but still working with it and learning how I desire my hair. I am definitely subscribing!

[@shekinahglory604]

Reversion? When I straightened my hair it doesn’t last 6 hours let alone 6 months. How did you keep it straight on hot humid days?

[@AnNeachDorcha]

Her hair is heat trained. The more you put heat on your hair, the longer it will last. One of the perks of heat trained hair.

[@DynamicTouch]

​@@AnNeachDorcha Good morning! You may be new here, but there are two different hair routines expressed on our channel. Hello, my name is Jasso and I am the director at thewaitingroomnhb.com, which is a one-year membership program where women are learning how to grow and to take care of their hair from the comfort of their homes. We cater to women/young girls who wish to grow their hair in many different forms. It is a fun, private space where women can share freely. We also offer chances to win luxury hair giveaways and overall create a positive, non-toxic, environment. There were some women who contacted us wondering if it was possible to wear their hair either straight without heat damage or by heat training their hair. So, we accepted that challenge and began experimenting with ways to make this possible. Glory be to God, I was able to make this happen with no alteration to my curl pattern! I am not heat trained AT ALL. These results became possible with God first, with time, effort, research, expenses, hard work, determination, and my dream of advancing natural haircare techniques. On this channel, we problem solve, and create new, never before seen techniques as it pertains to kinky, coily, hair. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. As long as it does not infringe on the copyrights of thewaitingroomnhb, we are willingly answer your questions. Thank you for stopping by and for your comments! 😃

[@DynamicTouch]

Hello! Thanks for your questions! There are many different variables to why one's hair doesn't stay straight, and there are many different techniques when it comes to keeping hair straight. Depending on these variables one must develop a curated response based on each individual. This video was conducted by request of women/girls contacting us to see if this was possible. Thus, we conducted an experiment, and these are the results as well as what we learned from trying to make this possible. Please stay tuned for further follow-up on this process. Thank you for stopping by and for your interest!

I just started straightening my hair. I do believe it’s a protective style. I have straightened my hair three times. Once a month. I wash my hair once a month as well. My hair feels thicker. My hair is used to being washed once a week so i def need a clay mask more often. I think i will straighten it over the cold months then have to figure out another stretch style in the summer

[@dcoco3957]

My Aunt has been doing this for years and her hair is healthy and thick but somehow she has made it to where it doesn’t look greasy. I don’t know how she does it.

[@rainydaysunnylife5718]

The scalp can be kept clean every two weeks or whenever needed using witchhazel and a cloth.

[@livelovely4681]

You just have to make sure it's stretched properly. Grease helps a lot with reversion.

[@fendibondie2545]

Please don’t do this to your hair… wash your hair at least 2 times a month… Press your hair after each wash 1 time. Never press your hair on dirty or greasy hair because it’ll cause hair damage, break and it’ll burn your hair out. When pressing your hair press each section for 3 seconds.

[@chinasao.2785]

I’m glad I stumbled across your channel! I love your content (as a fellow natural hair guru). You hair is beautiful & reminds me of my texture. I like how you stated you use light/few products on your hair which, I believe aids in being able to wear it straight for longer. Do you grease your scalp during the duration?-or do you believe it leads to build-up? How do you take care of your scalp for the 3 month long duration? 🤔 Inquiring minds want to know, lol.

[@DynamicTouch]

Thank you! Thank you so much for stopping by our channel! I use a particular hair serum for my new growth and another one to keep the length of my hair moisturized while straight. This is how I prevent dryness and breakage. Also, I do have a way to cleanse my scalp, but as of this time I do not plan to share it on KZbin. I do know of some women who use grease on their scalp, but they normally wear their hair straight for 6-8 week period. I believe that it is all up to the persons individual scalp care routine.

Imagine only washing your hair 4 times a year, that's unhygienic if you ask me. Also the hair itself looks greasy, weighed down, stiff and the ends look thin. So all in all you have to sacrifice hygiene and style for length. Not worth it IMO

[@beautifulmelanatedgoddess2299]

Straightening your hair gives you more length retention whether you use heat or relaxed it all depends on your hair regimen and how you take care of your hair whether its in a relaxed or natural state. The same things that are applied to a natural hair regime, can be appplied to a relaxed hair regimen even though they are in a totally differrrnt stste so i dont see the point of being a straight hair natural its not for me personally period. I said what i said. From what ive seen on youtube being a heat trained natural women means your hair is easily heat damaged. I see being a heat trained natural as a new trend on natural hair youtube that is very viral and popular at the minute.

I have a way to keep my scalp clean, which I choose to keep private at this time. This routine has allowed my hair to flourish without any problems. Also, many traditional cultures have hair routines that include not washing your hair for extended periods of time. This is more common than western haircare which focuses on more frequent washing (which is fine if that is your favored routine). I believe that we all should do what's best for our hair, without passing judgement. In this video I was just sharing what works for me, and that it is possible for those who might be interested.
