A WEEK IN MY HAIR (4) ~ Heat DAMAGE, Taking Out Protective Style, Length Check, Treatments, Redo

I’m on a tailbone length hair growth journey. It took awhile for me to build a routine and stay consistent. But by doing so, I will reach my goal this year. My regiment must be airtight to retain every centimeter of hair I grow. Every day counts so I’m going to show you some things I do daily to promote hair growth, retain moisture to retain length. And since length retention is the game, stay tuned to the end where I do my monthly length check to see how much I grew and retained. So welcome to a typical WEEK IN MY HAIR

Type 4 girlie with heat damage 🙋‍♀ I last got my hair straightened in Sept 2022 and just like you I told myself I shouldn't do it lol. Since then, I got most of my normal texture back but one major change I noticed is that my hair seems to be more high porosity than low porosity so yeah that happened. This natural hair thing is a whole journey for sure 😅😂

[@SharatiaBanks]

Heavy on the “journey” lol you live and learn 😩 what have you been doing to get the texture back? Or are you just growing it out?

I make them just for you 💁🏾‍♀️❤️

[@teniolaakanmu4386]

This is my first time seeing your channel, and i wasn't bored throughout. I'm a type 4 girlie, and i might have heat damage 💔(might cos it's still in protective styling, so i won't know until i take it out). That was actually my first time ever using heat in my hair, and it was because i have an issue saying no to people 🤦‍♀️. I don't think she used heat protectant, and my hair just felt different in a bad way and the amount that broke off. I've been thinking about how I'll restore it cos im still learning about my hair type, and i thought I'd just have to big chop just to have it healthy again. Subscribing so i see how you deal with yours 💗

[@SharatiaBanks]

first of all, dang @teniolaakanmu4386 I hate that happened to you!! thanks for sharing, we're def gonna get through it together. I know the style wasnt worth the health of your hair, but did it even come out good? Also, if this was recent, sometimes it can take a few washes for the hair to go back to normal sometimes. hopefully that's the case

[@ugochitimipere5946]

Well done girl ❤

[@sccott-q6k]

About your issues with the twist knotting whenever you wash them, I recommend that you braid the roots then just continue with twists

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@sccott-q6k but what about the ends? Cause that’s where it knots. If anything there may be very little matting at the roots but the tangles are insane at the ends

[@sccott-q6k]

[@LekahThomas]

I wanted to note if any one suffering from low vitamin D deficiency it causes fibroids. Please 🙏🏽 ladies make sure you are taking vitamin supplements and herbal supplement etc and so forth. I suffer from severe menstrual symptoms. I have to wear depends and pads. Many doctors don’t share this information. Vitron C or Floradix is good to take for low iron or iron deficiency.Prayers and blessings to everyone. If anyone has any tips to help manage this please feel free to share . Great 👍🏽 hair tips for beginners and learners. Very helpful.

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@LekahThomas wow! I’m so glad you said that. I read that in an article a couple months ago. Wish I could remember the name of it. But vitamin d is so important and it’s crazy how a lot of us are deficient. What’s even crazier is that even though so many ppl are plagued with the deficiency, the health care system only allows for one free test a year!!! Magnesium, iron, vitamin d, folic should be in top

[@Tina_O]

Fibroids are the devil. But God will heal you sis. I really feel that relaxers cause fibroids because that seems to be the common denominator. Anywho, I loved watching the video! Informative and entertaining per usual 💁🏾‍♀️.

[@n.mourelle6879]

Hello Sharatia! I hzve a suggestion for you. During your washday, Instead of puting your twist in your mouth,try using clips,plastic ones. It will make your life so easier☺

[@SharatiaBanks]

Yeaaaaa I’ve tried the clips situation a couple of times. I seen pagingdrdre do it. Let’s just say.. it’s Not for me 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for the suggestion though 🙏🏾🙏🏾

What supplements do you take?

[@yosoyroman875]

@@SharatiaBanks Store brand women’s multi vitamin, iron and Vitamin D

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@yosoyroman875 careful with those store brand supplements. they put a lot of fillers and surprisingly harmful stuff in their recipes. MaryRuth's Organics supplements are in liquid form and they use clean ingredients. Same for Ritual, they have better ingredients. Both brands are a little pricey cause they're big on quality, but trust me it's so worth it. I don't have a code for Ritual, but I have one for maryruths MROSHARATIA for 20% (website or amazon) . I try to share it with anyone tryna focus on their health and hair like me.

How can I message you regarding the fibroids or if you go to coach jessie she has products that do work they actually eliminate them. There is also a black doctor who removes them to where they never come back. He’s on her page as well. I’m looking it up and pass it on to you

Thank you for your content. New subbie! I would love to braid my natural hair (no extensions) and leave in as a protective style. Could i use the 2 step aphogee protein treatment when my hair is braided?

[@SharatiaBanks]

Thanks!!!!! For the 2 step treatment, I wouldn’t recommend using that on braided hair. It has to be combed through and it gets hard.

[@SharatiaBanks]

Weird that it’s not there! But it’s the unbrush. I love it. This is the original one though. I believe they have a new one out. But it’s basically the same thing if not better, so I’ve been told @kct47

[@tatyanaashley3323]

Do you get ssk? No matter how much i trim, moisturize or stretch they keep forming, im tired of big chopping. Im about to ignore them tbh. 4C girlie here.

[@SharatiaBanks]

Not as much since I’ve been doing this style. My hair technically stays stretched so every once in a while a couple pop up. You can see one in the close up I showed. Some ssk can be because of health oddly enough. Speak with a trichologist, and theyll confirm.

Girl I got heat damage earlier this month for the first time ever and I finally gave in to the olaplex cult. My shipment just came in and will be using it weekly. I heard it’s good when you use it with protein treatments as well but you have to do four week olaplex then a heavy protein treatment then another four weeks with olaplex. I’ll come back here and tell you if that actually worked for the heat damage 😂😂😂😂

[@SharatiaBanks]

nooooooooooooo say it aint so!! first time having heat damage is a flex cause it's always a risk whenever we apply heat to our hair so kudos to you girllllll! and lol @ "Olaplex cult" loool I suppose we'll both be newbies cause I'm heading over to ulta tomorrow! and you are greatly appreciated! I would absolutely love an update.

@@SharatiaBanks I wish I would have seen this comment soon cause olaplex is actually have a sale on their bundle. Where you can get 0,3,4&5 for 45$ and if you use capital one shopping you can actually get another 10$ off and a free hair mash. So it’s like 40$ after shipping.

Hey so I definitely love doing the plaits since seeing you do them, even though they take forever and a millennium to do them, HOWEVER i just wanted to know, have you ever dried the plaits in the revair after washing? I haven’t had success with it yet. It usually pulls strands of hair out of the twists when I did it with twists but i didn’t want to be forced to redo my braids if it will do the same thing

our hair grows at different rates, and with our hair being so fine, it can look unappealing" and so most ppl cut it because of aesthetics or it looks better. but sometimes aint nun wrong with the ends if it's not split or knotted tbh.. and I didnt mention it but I cut way more than was needed. but oh well, it'll grow byke lol
