Fr... when I was a little girl, I thought I could use a round brush to curl my VERY straight hair... wound it all the way around... and it got very very stuck. There were so many tears. My friend's nanny somehow got it out but it was seriously traumatic so the idea of doing that really stresses me out

[@743d43ladyfae]

For the third girl, she’s doing a technique called stretching. You stretch the hair section you are holding and let the roots become both dry and straighten( or stretched) while blow drying that section. It just helps with either to prevent heat damage, stretching your roots, and helping with making curly/kinky hair straight while blow drying it.

[@celeste3926]

Sydney Murphy yassssss agreed

[@ericbrown3955]

Some ppl gotta stretch their hair.

[@ericbrown3955]

Like, if she doesn't stretch her hair she can risk getting the brush stuck in her hair and this cuts down a huge part of the process with how tight hair textured hair is reducing the tugging on her hair.

[@miraklelove3337]

Thank youuuu I was like huh? when he took off a point

[@ninaasf-ck]

Yeah I never stick a brush in my wet curly hair. The point of blow drying pre-flat iron is to stretch the hair and get it dry. That's it.

[@shelle7123]

A lot of people are defensive about the stretching. He was basically saying the outcome of the hair wouldn't be as good as going in, sectioning the hair and getting the roots. Which is why at the end he took a point of for the roots not being as straight as they could've been. Just because she was trying to avoid heat damage doesn't mean she shouldn't lose a point if other girls lost 1 for the same thing-

[@iliawonders]

Thank you lol

[@spacecase7566]

Finally! Thank you for saying this.

[@jasdawazz]

When your hair is that thick and curly the roots aren’t going to be that straight anyway. There is always gonna be some volume. I love Brad but education on natural black hair is important and should not be overlooked. Not understanding the process doesn’t make it wrong.

[@jasdawazz]

Grey Manhattan I also have 4c hair. I’m not saying you can’t achieve a nice sleek silk press. I’m saying that the texture of your hair will always make it more voluminous, especially at the root.

[@shanelbryant5638]

Jasdawazz it can really depend on how you blow dry it and the products you use to prep and style. I do my mom’s hair and that getting it bone straight is possible so long as you use silicones, small sections, and literally just don’t sweat (which is part of my theory on why every salon I’ve ever been in has the AC on BLAST even in winter)

[@nicolebrinks4059]

At the end of the day, mixed or not, we would be slaves as well. I feel like you pointing out the fact that she’s mixed and “not” black was just a passive aggressive way of you contributing to the division of the black community because of skin tone. You’re black, I’m black, she’s black. The sooner you accept this and learn to love it the better.

[@moirachristine3959]

"Just holding the strands out and blow drying " is a method called "Stretching the Hair". It is actually VERY effective and healthy for naturally curly hair. If you're going to blow dry your hair on wet hair, when you use a brush, you increase the risk of SNAPPING your strands since they are so coily. When you stretch it the way Maryam Hampton does, you allow your curls to dry partially stretched first to PROTECT IT. Then once you are done with that step, you can go in with a brush and blow dry the hair further to stretch it even more. This is the SAFEST method for black hair. We gotta stay educated on black hair in salons guys❤❤

Lol Brad, the third woman is doing a form of a tension method. I have similar hair & length, and use the technique often. It allows stretching to occur while keeping the blow dryer at a distance and on a lower temperature setting. First we stretch our hair, then we move on to the steps you mentioned. All while avoiding high temperature settings and still getting the most out of the blow dry. I think she doesn’t want to achieve bone straight hair. But typically the results would be pretty sleek, especially when doing a silk press. Lol Also, all of our hair isn’t dry, dry hair(or however many times you said it) we all can’t afford to use hella products w/o looking crazy, greasy and/or stiff. Lol

Brad, black girl hair is different than everyone else's. Its kinkier, curlier, sometimes much frizzier, and MUCH thicker. The method shes blow drying is called stretching. Because we have heavy shrinkage, we stretch the hair while drying to bring out the curls. Our hair will straighten best when stretched out in the process. The brush you use with curly hair would not be the best for our hair texture. Gonna tear our curls instead of loosen them 😒🙄🤦🏾‍♀️ I like you Brad, but please learn black girl hair.

I blow dry with medium sections and flat iron with small sections only because with blow drying no matter the size, the same job gets done and I'm not trying to be there all day, ESPECIALLY with how long my flat ironing takes! 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@DenaMarie90]

weird... I have naturally curly hair and was always taught to take large sections when blow drying. If I take small sections it doesn’t end up looking as good 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@yasminmattock3960]

I think it depends on your curl pattern. I have spiral curls so if I use medium sections they tend to climb together and I dont like it so I prefer small sections to keep the spiral defined and tight. For someone with move wavy or just S shape curly, thenedium sections would be good.

What brush should we use?

[@jaylasmith7317]

The 3rd girl is is doing the tension method. That is what I do with my hair. When your hair is continuously trying to shrink back everytime you brush over it, it retangles and it is annoying. Holding the hair and blowing air into it for a couple seconds gets it straight enough that it stops shrinking and tangling so it is easier to continue blowing drying. (From my experience. I have 4b/4c ish hair)

I guess stretching hair isn’t something they learn when becoming a hairdresser? Seemed like he missed that.

[@miamazingness]

No, unfortunately (at least for my school in FL) they don't cover very much for cutting or styling naturally curly or super curly hair, so you have to take more professional development classes if you want curly-specific instruction. It's a little ridiculous.

[@oliviajohnson3781]

I agree with the previous comment. From what I understand they just like barely scratch the surface on natural and curly hair. I have curly hair and want to specialize in natural in curly hair, but you HAVE to take extra classes or go to like week long certification classes

Yeah I don't think he gets it. I agree she should be using a concentrator & brush but I didnt see anything wrong with her stretching/ drying her hair first.

I feel like it’s crazy to put natural oils on hair when you’re about to heat style. Bc what does oil do when you heat it up? It fries. You are not making fried chicken sis. Try again. Also the first girl pointed the blow dry nozzle up which raises the cuticle. Keep it pointed down.

[@amandarobbins2530]

Especially since coconut oil has a really low smoking point.

[@daijamatthews]

Melijah Carter First of all, it’s not dumb to use common sense. Where tf does it make sense to put natural oils on your hair before flat ironing it? Yea oils are healthy but that doesn’t make sense. We are on here being nice. Don’t use names that you probably wouldn’t call me if we were face to face.

Brad!!!! Curly girl checking in. The girl in the last video was using the tension method! So for us curly girls with hair that tends to be on the drier side anyway who know that our blow outs require a flat iron for finishing will often try to minimize direct heat by using the tension method instead of using a round brush. It’s like something in between air drying and blow outs to achieve a neutral texture base to make flat ironing easier :) it’s super popular and saves a ton of time. Personally, I put my freshly washed hair in a super tight bun the night before I plan to straighten it to stretch the curl pattern and make straightening it easier!

[@krismiskarol]

For longer thicker/curlier hair, the stretching method is actually very effective because the purpose is to just flatten the curl and dry the hair. Done right, you also cut back a significant amount of heat that is used. Using a brush and blow drying section by section takes a lot more time, energy, arm strength and your hair wont be any straighter by the end of the flat iron process lol The flat iron does a better job of making it smooth and straight as long as your sections are small and you do the chasing method. It took me 10 years and a lot of fluffy flat iron jobs to figure that out. Maryam did the best job in my opinion and her process is why her curly hair is so healthy.
