😢 After My FIRST SILK PRESS - THIS Happened!!! | BIGGEST Regret? How long did it last?

[@VivHairTherapy]

😭😭😭 not y’all JUST reminding me about anti humidity spray/serums!!! 😢 Y’all know I don’t know anything about straightening hair and y’all didn’t mention this before?? 😩

[@sedsa097]

😂😂😂 They want u to learn the hard way

[@yoha5298]

Only 3 days is crazy. I can get a month in the winter and 2 weeks in the summer here in Pennsylvanian. Try Etae naturals Carmel treatment and wrap your hair at night

[@sylphmaster]

Aside from that what I did when I got my first press a few months ago was rub on a little argan oil and brush from the roots before I put my bonnet on. I got a decent 3 weeks out of it 🤩

[@aminahanderson1950]

wait wait wait i didn't know about anti-humidity serums! I love in Houston, TX so you walk outside with your silk press and come back in with an afro.

[@aishamurrell193]

Can you try the Wow Dreamcoat Anti-frizz spray? I'm am so curious how it works in a truly humid climate.

[@chloereed8669]

It's nice to see a KZbinr that is highly entertaining but remains sensible and mature with their hair care. You don't need to destroy your hair to get likes, thanks for staying true to you Viv, your soul shines through your actions 💜

[@wyntersteele1a]

I am so glad that she does what she is comfortable with also. If her viewers want to add heat to their hair on the regular then they can do it to their hair. She doesn't need to do it to her hair. Like Viv stated, it will only last for a few days. Will it have been worth it?

[@VivHairTherapy]

I appreciate that!! ☺️☺️

[@Westindiantoffee]

I couldn't agree with you more!!! I love her personality a lot!

[@kristongordon1951]

I think it’s safe to say that your hair has reverted from the moment you took off that bonnet.

[@SassyRaven]

Lol 😂 I thought intro was after the wash! She is just the best, her timing! 😂 Hilarious!! She never fails us! Never! ❤

[@marissa46934]

I got my hair silk pressed on Tuesday and it rained on Wednesday 🙃 My hair is still 95% straight due to abundant anti-frizz serum application and leaving it wrapped under a scarf. I am deathly afraid of heat damage, especially if I went to a salon for a silk press. Pay in excess of $150 to ruin my hair? Talk about adding insult to injury 🥴

[@VivHairTherapy]

Soooo… you not gonna tell me the name of that anti frizz serum?? 👀👀

[@marissa46934]

@@VivHairTherapyI use the Paul Mitchell Super Skinny serum in the morning and Garnier Fructis sleek & shine at night

[@marissa46934]

@@VivHairTherapy I hope those serums give your next silk press more longevity! The ambient humidity where I live fluctuates between 32-68%, and these have helped keep the "fluffening" as I call it at bay for just a little longer.

[@sumoses387]

I paid $60 for 2 years of heat damage after trying my first silk press

[@angelanice]

As long as you can straighten each section in one pass, there's no need to increase the heat. The risk of heat damage goes up when you have to do multiple passes, so I think you had the right setting for your hair!

[@folakemi.a]

@@user-um2iu9zd7p thank you 🙏

[@folakemi.a]

@@user-um2iu9zd7p oh this makes sense. i'll try it out, thank you!

[@kaylenemoye]

I’m definitely not afraid of heat damage lol. I switch between straight hair natural and curls. If I get damage and I want to wear my curls then I either grow it out or cut it off immediately. I went a bit crazy this time and I cut my hair from mid back to shoulder length. I still take care of my hair when it’s straight so it’s not a big deal. Plus sometimes my curly hair is really draining and straightening it is better than a relaxer again. Hair will grow back and I believe that it shouldn’t have be someone’s identity :)

[@afroborilafemme]

I’m surprised your hair lasted 3 days in Jamaica. I haven’t straightened my hair in over 10 years because humidity affects it too much and I live in NYC! 🤣

[@whitneywilliams5935]

Also as a stylist, u won't get heat damage from applying heat every now and then. The heat damage comes from applying heat daily or several times a week amd not using protective products when using heat. You'll be fine hun to increase the heat to even a 375 or 400 so that it will last longer.

[@TriniChocolate19]

Yes your hair will revert back. Honestly once you do your deep conditioning and rinse with cool water your shrinkage will be very real

[@bethroesch2156]

Don't increase the temperature EVER if you don't have to. I have waist length, slightly wavy white girl hair and I avoid heat at all costs because idc who you are, heat hurts your hair. You got really great results just the way you did it and your hair looks really healthy. Don't take the chance. Our hair is our crowning glory, or so my grandpa always told me 👍🏻

[@dashamccormick4088]

LISTEN!! your edits get me every time!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm with Denzel....I'm leaving with something

[@VivHairTherapy]

🤭 I appreciate your understanding ❤️

[@genaervin3484]

You did a great job straightening your hair. The fact that it reverted so easily means you used the correct temperature and heat protecting products. There's an incredibly expensive hair dryer out there that's supposed to dry the hair straight without a lot of heat by pulling the water out. Maybe you can borrow one of those for the next time you try to straighten your hair since buying one outright wouldn't be practical if you're only using it once in awhile, but it's a thought that could cut down on the heat risk.

[@pixiemeg]

Honestly, seeing how much fun you had with changing up your hair is inspiring me! Maybe I'll take some time this week to break out of my rut and play around 👀 (I have naturally straight hair, and have been putting off learning to do a full roller set because it just looks so daunting - I do NOT have your patience! The "anything but curlers" series was NOT inspiring those take you so long!!! 😂)

[@NorseButterfly]

Repetitive swipes with a lower heat can be just as damaging as fewer swipes with a higher heat. Finding the perfect balance can be tricky, but having an extra tool to style with is fun.

[@mewmew6158]

Humidity has got to be the biggest enemy to a silk press🤣

[@marelisaful]

Even though I knew it was clickbait I still enjoyed this video. Glad your hair is free of heat damage. Gorgeous as always ❤

[@wyntersteele1a]

😆😆 I laughed so freaking hard at the beginning of this video. You are definitely right about the order of the videos. Viewers look what I did and now woe is me. Or, I left KZbin because...Or, they all post videos of themselves crying and having nervous breakdowns. Look around and every content creators has jumped on the bandwagon. Your hair was beautiful after you did it and I am definitely glad that your hair suffered no damage.

[@FirstLast-vy6rn]

Your hair was and still is gorgeous! No need to fret. 😆

[@Blue2Cool4YOU]

I’m a Latina with 3b/c-ish hair and I bleached and dyed it a couple years back, it’s taken me until all the bleached ends were cut off to see my curls come back as vivacious as before and I’m always scared of heat damage for that reason. I love my curls and would give almost anything to ensure I can see my hair be curly for a looooooooong time

[@cantankeruz]

"Listen listen listen listen" Yea, Viv. You better talk fast lmaooo. Glad it all worked out. Straight or curly, you're hair goals ✨️

[@told1158]

Hi😊 your straightening video was my first view and I subscribed. Two down. Many more to go. 😆

[@nadegejuste2638]

I dont care of heat damage. If i get It, i Will grow it out. But i definitely wont get it because: 1) my strand is thick; 2) i get straight hair once a year; 3) i use a ceramic flat iron which is safe for the hair. It actually so safe that it doesnt get my hair very straight as it is best suit for not so curly hair. It was obvious that your hair was not damage even right after you stretch it

[@frangild]

3 days is a lot more than I expected too. 😮 Your hair looks just as healthy as usual. The relief of seeing the texture setting back in. 😮‍💨😂

[@TheConstellationWatcher]

You can use your olaplex products too when you plan your next straightening

[@Ifyouonlyknewtruth]

Natural woolly hair is a blessing

[@massagebyconstance5665]

Never had a silk press because I didn’t think it would last/be worth it. Thanks for showing how long you got out of yours.

[@indigothecat]

If your hair straightened well off of the previous temperature, you definitely don't need to go higher. You might even be able to go lower! The biggest tip I've seen is to limit the amount of hot-comb/flat-iron passes over each section. If you can get it straight in 1 single pass over the hair section, that is ideal. 2 isn't too bad, but every additional pass adds a higher risk of damage, no matter how much product you currently have in your hair. Good luck!

[@afroborilafemme]

I’m pretty much getting used to the click bait by now Viv. I ain’t mad at it. 😂

[@KrisJustus]

I’ve never been so happy to have been clickbaited

[@dineijahattidore-charles4435]

I always cut my hair, but I've never had a relaxer, nor have I ever straightened my hair with heat or ever dyed it. I can definitely relate to being scared. I barely even use a blow dryer, and when I do it's on the cool setting. (PTSD from my mom having the heat too high on the dryer and having it way to close to my scalp)

[@realpluslovely]

The first time I watched your video I had just shaved off all my hair but a few years later of watching you love and have fun with your hair it encourages me to grow it back. I'm glad I had you to watch during my hair journey thanks Viv!

[@AliciaLeShay]

Your last video made me straighten my hair…and I didn’t use heat protection and I increased the heat temp lol I guess I’m not afraid of heat damage lol

[@yeseniareyes4396]

Thanks to your video I bought the Tymo hair straightening brush. If you used it, I can too. Don't let my profile pic fool you I've had my hair back to natural since 2018. But I lost all my hair during chemotherapy and now that it's grown back it's also free of chemicals. Can't wait to try it. Keep being you

[@AIBot929]

Girl! I straightened my hair used heat protectant and heat damaged tf out of my hair, so now the left and back of my head is diffrent curl pattern, like 3b or 3c when I have 4b, 4c hair, the right front part is not the same and is closer to 4b or 4a. Just not what it's supposed to be so now I can't wear my hair out because of the vastly different curl patterns happeningvon my head, I was tempted to burn the right side of my head so it can atleast be uniform 😭... if you're why the right side is differe t it's because the flat iron turned off and I didn't notice

[@wyntersteele1a]

Girl who you telling!!!! I just recently started blow drying and flat ironing my natural hair after not using heat for years. The back of my hair has changed. It is straighter and will not revert back into my hair in its afro state. An entire section in the back. I don't want to use anymore protein at this point so I snipped the most odd portion off.

[@VivHairTherapy]

😭😭😭 I’m sorry hun!! Let’s hope it grows out healthy quickly and be careful with heattttt 😩

[@christienelson1437]

So depressing because many of these tools can’t stay on long enough to straighten everyone’s unique hair types. You should borrow a friends so you have two or save up and buy a second one. Hair is always our greatest battle. ❤️💕🙏💕🙏💕

Ahh humidity! That cold task master! How our hair loves it so. 😂 We either shun it so our hair can do what we want or embrace it so our hair can do what it wants.

[@jazzip]

I live 45mins away from JA in Cayman and a silk press is a pipe dream in high humidity and hot environments. My silk presses when I lived in the UK lasted 4weeks. Here it started reverting from the blow dry indoors in AC! I got 2 days before it started looking crazy. High puffs all the way now.

[@kellsmith9225]

I’m petrified of heat damage. No flat iron, no traditional blow dryer for 8 years. I do use the RevAir, but at the lower heat setting. No heat damage for me. I will NEVER straighten my hair. Like you said, a wig will have to suffice if I want straight hair.

I'm afraid of heat damage. I've got 2a/2b hair that reaches down to my lower back when it's not curling, and I'm always worried about my poor ancient ends with heat.

[@christinakyleloves]

[@raheeeg]

I don't know if that's heat damage. My hair is super dramatic, every time I cut/straighten it it looks wild and witch like for a few washes til it settles 😆 it is SUCH a nightmare! That's what made me a wig girl...also I live in UK and I'm always cold so wigs are a win win

[@smifendwuhesun]

ITS SO PRETTYYYYY

[@makeda6530]

Yeah, I agree, if you wanna be bone straight, a wig is better especially if you want to preserve your hair health. I have bleach damage but it’s my locs and it’ll be a minute before I chop those parts because I don’t wanna be bald. 🌚

[@aliciakowalski]

I have thin straight hair. I rarely use heat stylers. But I’m always worried of heat damage when I use a curling wand (for that one time a year at most that i try to curl my hair 😂) but unlike you, my curls only last like 12hrs 😢 your straight hair lasted longer than any time I’ve ever curled my hair haha😅

[@Sousyned]

12 Hrs? I’m super jealous! I get maybe an hour or two at best, unless my hair is completely crunchy with product 😂

[@Johanssoncecce]

When I have finished curling my hair the one side I started with is already straight again… And yes I use product, but even so it is hopeless…

[@noaccount2494]

Last time my straight hair held a curl it was only for 1 hour

[@cherrisseallen9785]

I use Beautiful Textures Naturally Straight to straighten my natural hair and I get 3 weeks of straight hair once it’s not washed nor water touches it. My hair reverted back when I washed it but my hair texture was a bit thinner than before. After washing it every week over time, the hair texture comes back

[@kenziehurlock]

I have straight hair and my hair has been breaking recently and I've been avoiding blow drying as much as I can because I'm afraid of heat damage. I usually only blow-dry during fall and winter anyway, but right now I'm trying to avoid doing so.

[@dark_baphomet]

I was expecting a few hours tbh so I’m impressed

[@summerbeckii]

I’m not afraid of heat damage. I’ve been a “straight” natural for 10+ years. I don’t wear my hair naturally curly often because I have to do my hair every couple of days to refresh the style (I tried being naturally curly). When I straighten my hair it’s lasts (for the most part) for a couple of weeks, even with the humidity where I live. My roots get curly in that time though not jus from humidity, but I sweat on my scalp now (over 30 woes 😩). I experience a little heat damage over time, but I also keep my ends clipped and I’m not afraid to do a big chop for no reason.

[@sw33tnycandy]

I get it. This is my hair also. I can't get but maybe one day of straight hair before it reverts. This is why I rarely if ever straighten my hair.

[@okkdez]

no matter what products i put in my hair my hair will be straight for simply one day. i’ve been straightening my hair everyday for about 8 years so 😅 good ole mississippi humidity

[@jenn4593]

You should get your next silk press at the salon because it will be straighter, and therefore last longer. When it’s not that straight, then it will revert back more easily and quickly.

I’m in Houston. I know my hair needs a minimum of 450° to be anything resembling straightened, and who’s gonna put that kind of stress on the hair consistently? Not I lol - I remember the last time I had it professionally pressed (tbh it was over a decade ago 😅), sweatergawd I didn’t even make it all the way home before it reverted. Never again I said 😂 Tried to do my own at least blow outs and same thing, left side reverts while I’m working on the right. Gave up on all forms of heat at that point (and I have locs now sooooo😬)

[@actuallobster7044]

[@aliciam1992]

You should probably try an Anti-humidity spray to help make it last a little longer from humidity

[@VivHairTherapy]

😅😅 I honestly didn’t even think about this!! Sigh!!!

[@Jeshiae]

If you got the results you wanted from the heat level you chose, then it should be fine! When I used the comb at like level 4 instead of 5, I got a result similar to a blow-dry, so the 2nd time around I used the highest heat level (410 degrees). My hair did take a little longer to revert (30 min deep condition instead of 5 min), but I had no heat damage. I also just am not as afraid of heat as I used to be. Not necessarily in a "it's just hair hair kind of way" but in a "wow this monstrosity is very resilient." That and the comb is less direct heat than a flat iron. Caveat: when my hair was bleached/dyed, it was way less resilient lol. But I also didn't use olaplex then so 🤷‍♀️

[@k.rebuilding]

I'm with you. And I use the RevAir 1-2x/mo, BUT, I've used my Tymo NEVER. Too much heat and I want to keep my edges

[@pattypoodoo007]

I assume damaged happens, when you keep going at your hair with the straightener after it start frizz up to keep the style longer. Well that what i see in those hair damage videos

[@SabethRavenwing]

Feel you on the heat. About twelve years ago I moved farther south and my strait hair turned in 3a curls due to the tap water and humidly. It was healthier then it ever been but I had no clue how to care for it. I was used to a plain shampoo, some heavy conditioner and go. Now it was frizz frizz everywhere. I let a stylist friend of mine talk me into letting her straiten it.... yeah big mistake. I think she felt because my hair was a course texture she could get away with high heat, or maybe her hair was fine with those heat lvls so she did think about it IDK. My hair was fried, limp, and never reverted. Few weeks later it was breaking off I lost 5 inches in length. While I had no hard feelings, it was hair and she learn an import lesson it took a while to grow back. I had to learn a different hair care routine to control frizz, co-wash all the way baby, but my hair is back to full mid shoulder blade length. I have big beautiful curls all summer and soft waves in the winter... and if I ever feel the itch for strait hair I'll go wash my hair in the awful well water at my folks place. lol

I had my hair straightened for 4 weeks straight (only flat ironed/silk pressed twice. Silk press can last for over two weeks on my head) and I was so scared I might have damaged my curls but it turns out my curls look much looser when wet. After a prepoo protein treatment, deep conditioning and styling my hair was the same as before and back to normal lol.

I'm out here with three week old silk press still wearing it in a ponytail 😆Yes, it rained here, it snowed here (flurries), I went outside, BUT it hasn't been above 50F. 😅The cold helps keep it straight it seems.

[@lisamedla]

The ponytail is the secret😉 it prevents the humid air from reaching most of your hair strands. It is custom in my country to wear your hair straightened through high school and I suffered barely any heat damage through the year. A ponytail + sealant keeps the moisture/ humidity away. Also back then, we'd rarely do full silk presses. Only rich kids could afford them and their hair paid for it so there's that.
