Ask Dickey! E25: How Do I Get My Curls Back?

[@JoyDejaKing]

Dickey is always dropping knowledge. There was a time I used to get my hair straightened all the time but I never got heat damage but I realize it’s because my hair stayed drenched in water and conditioner between heat styling. If you’re a natural that doesn’t keep your hair super hydrated often, I definitely say stay away from heat because you will get heat damage.

[@lacheazure]

Yu need to cut it!! 😂😂😂😂 Hilariously true Dickey love you 😘

[@LatoyaBB]

LOLLLLL, that was hilarious!

[@WATCHWOMAN65]

When I was heat damaged last year, daily wash n go's bought back my curls. So its worth a try. It worked for me. Other wise, cutting it off is the alternative

[@alfonsca]

#sorry 🤣🤣🤣. Dickey is hilarious but speaks the truth. Very refreshing in the natural hair community!

[@lisespieces4136]

"You need to ✂ it, ✂ it..." 😂😂😂😂

[@77DGILES]

I never get heat damage... I blow dry my hair weekly, using a heat protectant just to stretch and I deep condition weekly. I rarely use a curling iron or flat iron. This is my regimen for cold winter months here in Chicago. To stretch my hair for summer months, I usually let it dry in a slicked back ponytail.

[@Jonesybabie]

DENISE GILES Exactly! My hair is fine w/ medium density and I diffuse 3-5 days a week with no damage (so far). I know I need to stop, but I hate wet scalp. LoL

[@thecreativelady1908]

My takeaway: we love natural hair that we can wear however we want without judgement.

[@asheriajames5653]

I freaking love you 😍 , I learned so much about my hair from your channel.. thank you for sharing

[@hairrules]

Thank you for watching!

[@diouranke]

I have a few weird strands in my hair that don t have curl, I am fully natural n don't use heat, any idea what that could be

[@aquafina6544]

Omg i wish i knew this b4 i straightened my hair! I had tailbone length and had to cut 12-15" Ouch! I hadnt had my hair straightened in 5yrs and 1 time took 2yrs of progress😢. But, now i know.

[@GinaJonesStillettoQueen]

I use henna before flat ironing along with cowashing

[@toniarice6072]

Im afraid to put any hot tools on my hair. Bliw dryer maybe but hardly ever

[@KayBrittany]

Tbh i feel like heat damage didn't exist until my mom stopped doing my hair & i took over lol.

[@rainastreet6910]

Right! I agree! I think bc our Mom’s conditioned our hair and took time! Lol

[@tinaloye2014]

What kind of conditioner could we use? I live in uk, we are short on good products

[@hairrules]

Hi Tina! Your question will be episode 27.

[@6ftNaturalBeauty]

I’m going to try your conditioning recommendation. Does hair rules sale a heat protectant? Are heat protectant seven beneficial to use? Are protein treatments beneficial to use prior to heat styling? Thank you Dickie

[@preciouslafleur5390]

Multiethnicgirl 6foot Hair Rules does have a heat protectant, it's called Blow It All Out.

[@hairrules]

Hi there. Yes, we use Blow It All Out whenever we blow dry straight natural hair. It's available at hairrules.com.

[@banajieartis6161]

I love him ❤ " You need to cut iiit" 😆

[@sigmalady07]

I stopped relaxing my hair back in 2010 and stopped getting flat irons a couple years later. I had heat damaged and miraculously got my naturally curly hair back without any cutting. I promise it's like it happened overnight. Bella Curls is the ish.

[@KayBrittany]

sigmalady07 my moms did that too! Lol

[@GinaJonesStillettoQueen]

Same here.

[@lexyb8278]

Great tips I love to wear it Flat every 3months this helps and encourage.

[@stoni129]

Great info! I'm guessing that damage from color should be cut off too right? How do you prevent it???

[@hairrules]

Damage from color should be cut, too. Chemical damage is even more sever than heat damage. One way to prevent this is to make sure your colorist is experienced and has the proper training.

[@onlygafabotwhatigafbout8495]

Will your hair become hydra fatigued if you do wash and goes every 2-3 days??

[@GinaJonesStillettoQueen]

No. As long as it is dried in between. I just go outside in the warmer months or defuse with a blow dryer.

[@camillesparkman714]

Hi Dickey! Thanks for all of your advice. My hair is so much healthier because of you but I have a question. I have 4C hair that is extremely dry but I like to wear my hair in braids for 8wks at a time. Can you recommend a regime that would help me prepare my hair for 8weeks of braids?

[@sheenasimmons84]

Hi Dickey! What do you feel about an Aztec bentonite clay, and apple cider vinegar mask? I use it when my 3b/4a combo hair texture gets loose. Does this help?

[@Angie_Onaleta]

That intro! 🤣 how/why does wash 'n go's help between heat styling? You mentioned that in this video.

[@preciouslafleur5390]

Ange N.O. wash styling is the best way to moisturize and hydrate our hair because we're using water on our hair daily. Water is the best moisturizer for our hair. If we're not using water daily there's a good chance that our hair is dry. Pressing dry hair will dry our hair out more to the point that it's fried. You cannot do anything with fried hair. I hope I answered your question.

[@surVIVEr28]

Precious Lafleur I thought that was a great explanation of it

[@surVIVEr28]

Ange N.O. to hear his explanation I think he starts at 2:25. I believe the point that he's making is that wash and go styling helps prep your hair to be moisturize before you go in there with that heat. And if you are doing wash and go Styles in between your heat Styles your hair are is going to be properly moisturize. Split Endz, he damaged not from processing Etc that comes from dry hair and he saying that are textures need to have plenty of hydration and moisture

[@preciouslafleur5390]

I'm glad I could help😊

[@preciouslafleur5390]

Kay Von Kent I'm glad I can help. I heard Dickey explain it a thousand times, which explains why my hair flourishes when I wear Wash And Go's.

[@wholeheartedlyforthelord2290]
