@Caramel Cupcake I'm so sorry you went through that. I wish we had the understanding back then also. A lot of my family members have hormonal alopecia.

The oil application in the beginning definitely stalled the hair from reverting.

[@TheLovesnowangel]

Yes! Great point. Oil acts as a barrier and sealent so the water was definitely taking a while to coat the cuticle.

[@marleyhill34]

I thought the same. Silicone and oil will not allow water to penetrate. And I think she is low porosity. She needed a sulfate or clarifier or chelating shampoo to get that all off. And that Shea Moisture shampoo that she used is not a clarifyer or a detoxing or a chelating shampoo. A clay masque might have helped. I never run out of deep conditioner. Nah.

@@cheys_beauty_pagexoxo3505 The shampoo she used is sulfate and silicone free. Now there might have been silicone in the heat protectant, oils and serums she has been using for the past three weeks. She actually needs a sulfate and or some clay and EDTA to get them off. That's why the water struggle to get in and the purpose of deep conditioner is to penetrate deep into the hair strand. The conditioner she used is only to smooth the first. Cuticle layer. Remember her hair had no moisture for 3 whole weeks! Not dry hair. That's de-hydrated hair. Hydrating the hair come from water and conditioner penetrating deep into the strand cortex third layer. I have high porosity hair and I have to deep condition weekly. I have to shampoo weekly for my scalp but I use a clarifying sulfate every 4-6 weeks to remove build up, silicones or hard water minerals and chemicals.

[@reemj3675]

Straightening had nothing to do with that. It was the oil she applied b4 she started. Water can't penetrate the oil & her shampoo wasn't strong enough in one wash, to remove it. Had she used a clarifying shampoo or washed with what she had 3 or 4 times then good conditioner, would have had totally different results . You HAVE to use a shampoo strong enough to remove oils but packing oil on b4 washing defeats the purpose of washing. It sealed in the dirt

If you used silicon products in your silk press it takes like 3 or 4 washes for your curls to pop back. Also you may need to clarify to get all of the products off.

Maybe clarifying with a really harsh sulfate shampoo will do the trick. Shea Moisture is sulfate free and sometimes even if it's a clarifying shampoo but still sulfate free, it won't do. Sometimes you need the sulfates. You know? ;)

The silicones in the heat protectant is preventing your hair from reverting back. Which is good for preventing steam or water making your hair frizzy when straightened. It does take more than 2 washes with a 'gentle' shampoo to get the silicone out. Try a clarifying shampoo and then deep condition. Your curls will pop right back.

[@ayedub7699]

When I go from straight to curly I use bentonite clay and oil as a mask. It works every time for me. Can't wait to see your next video.

Phew the title scared me, don't do this to us! hehe. I think the oil was partly to blame for the results, when it attaches to the hair it's hard to remove in a wash (that's why people use oil as a sealant I guess, it makes water harder to come out but also to come in). Idk honestly, I've always read mixed opinions about the use of oils and other products we usually use for the hair not actually being that good and now I'm not sure about anything anymore! Have you heard about the ebook "Wash Your Damn Hair" by the hair stylists Aeleise Ollarvia and Aishia Strickland? I've been wanting to see some reviews to their guidelines since their clients get very cool results but they're hard to find anywhere, if you're up to it I'd like to see your opinion about it :)

[@Michelle-dm3nl]

totally agree. the black curl magic community changed how I take care of my hair and the kind of products I use - no oil + a good clarify wouldnve helped in my opinion. if the hair feels very dry after shampoo and conditioner really its a sign of lack of hydration because the hair is still coated

[@xBeyondMystery]

@@Michelle-dm3nl exactly what I thought, yes. I'm glad to hear a good experience with bcm of someone in youtube as well.

Hey Amber I looove your vids :) Just a suggestion, you should stop using products that include Sulfates, Parabens, and Silicones in shampoos.

Just a suggestion though, I know everyone has their own opinions and preferences. 💕

[@jazmingalloway3172]

I would call that heat trained. I don't think it's damaged as you said. But don't take my word for it cause I am not a professional. But I would say since you defuse and straighten it often enough I think it was trained for heat. So your straightened styles last longer and it's flatter when you blow dry it. But it should revert if you lay off the heat for a while. (not saying you use it all that much but still) Hope that explains a little something but anyway your hair is still cute fluffy. Should have picked it out and wore it like a fro 🤷🏽‍♀️ good luck with your journey 😊

Maybe you need a clarifying shampoo to remove whatever remaining products that's preventing your hair from absorbing much needed moisture.

Btw conditioner doesn't act as a deep conditioner when u leave it in for an hour only a hair mask does. And ur supposed to leave it in for 20-30 min only! Also conditioner and deep conditioner doesn't moisturize because its under 30 min in the directions. Can u do the cherry lola treatment, and a vid on the Felicia leatherwood brush

[@sarahhamdan5470]

They probably added silocone creams and serums to your hair when doung the silk press! You are going to need a sulfate shampoo to remove that layer that the silicone has formed around your hair, that could be the reason why something is off. Idk, but give it a try, and definitally make sure you are not letting silicones build up on ur hair!

Sis!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it was the air dried hair for me girl🤣🤣🤣! Your hair is still so beautiful.

[@tallatlprincess]

The after once it dried is literally my daughter’s hair when I try to follow a hair tutorial 😂😁☺️. But I know yours will bounce back sis.

The advantage shot flat ironing is the growth but its damages your hair my mom used to flat iron my hair but I made her stop bc my curls were straightening

[@loreallady4884]

Girl your face though. You will fix it. Kiss that beautiful baby girl.

[@destinytaylor9885]

I’m sorry but I look like Dora the explorer with my curls and it’s a no no

[@luotosirpa5458]

I hope you get the missing product soon. I wonder if that was the issue! You're a good sport though!

[@NikkiWiley]

Looks like you need more water on your hair before adding your products

[@Khabirah90]

Hey Amber. Thank you for sharing this video. Curl smith csme out with a new restorative line. This may help.

[@selenat.4982]

You can either do a protein treatment or a clay treatment. Either of these shpuld work.

[@shalawndudley2094]

Girl! Thanks for the laugh. That hair was huge! Beautiful as always though ❤

[@zyionm]

[@unicorn_mochauwu8470]

[@OhGiveThanks]

Girl. Imma check in for part 2 lol

[@naturalnadinee]

Girll I silk pressed my hair 3 weeks ago and now I’m scared😭😭 I’m definitely going to do a longgg wash day when it’s time!

[@marleyhill34]

Clarify, use a protein treatment and make sure you use a protein-free deep moisture, conditioner with heat after and then put you hair in a protective style (twists or 2or 3 French braids) for a week moisturising daily, every other day or midweek. Then you can wear your hair out. It would have recovered. Lol!

[@Skt18]

I want curly hair or i just want my hair to be thicker 🥺💔

[@prettyshaa6326]

Your hair was damn near dry when you were putting your products in

[@dorissadorsett4996]

You should try a hairmask it should help hydrate the hair.😁

[@AyanaMertina]

[@bubbleecrafts4358]

[@Miriam-bq7kg]

I'm at the beginning of the video and I'm impressed, how long your silk press lasted... and it still doesn't look bad! Wow!! 🤗 And now I have to watch the whole video, because that title is so scary and I need to know what happens 😂 Omg, my heart right now... 😂

[@marleyhill34]

If you leave your silk press that long you better use high performance products afterwards. The shampoo she used was not strong enough to get off what ever has been in her hair for 3 whole weeks. If she had been to the salon, the first thing that they would do is clarify her hair and stick her under the steamer or dryer with some deep conditioner.

[@Miriam-bq7kg]

@@marleyhill34 Ah, thank you for that tip and the explanation :)

[@TaterTaliaTots]

After I took out my box braids my hair was just like this dry, frizzy looking, and no matter how much product I put on my hair it would still be the same. It’s been a week or two since then and my hair isn’t fully normal but it’s MUCH better!

[@Kubulek17]

I find that on my clients the first wash after straightening the hair is always a little confused. Some olaplex, protein and a good clarifying shampoo fix it right up.

[@marleyhill34]

Yup. Great stylist you are. All the cosmetologists and trichologists I know do that clarifying, chelating, detox shampoo first and then go in with a moisturising shampoo and a deep conditioner with heat or steam.
