This is completely off topic but I’d love your professional view/opinion. What do you think about the STS treatment from Design Essentials? I’m using the anti-breakage form of the line (Anti-Breakage treatment/Step 2). I have fine, seemingly low porosity hair with a medium to low density. My intention is to minimize breakage since fine hair is typically the most fragile.

[@lisagoldsmith7435]

What kind of brush is that?

[@frauleinfraise7375]

You have "growing hands" as people from the old school would say. I love that you break down the chemistry and prove that keeping it simple is the way to maintain healthy hair.

[@bellemady1]

Hi Cyn, I am from Africa and I'm currently living in Africa. I'm from Cameroon, which is in Central Africa, and I now live in South Africa. I can confirm that what you are saying about keeping hair stretched for health and length is absolutely true. Actually I know it as a fact. When I was a young girl up to the age of 18, my mum used to do threading on me and all my sisters hair every 2 weeks and we all had long, full and healthy hair like your client in this video. Our haircare routine was extremely simple. Every 2 weeks, wash, condition, let the hair air dry stretched, put some hair food, brush and comb and then thread the hair. We kept our hair in threads for 2 weeks at a time and then wash it and follow that routine. Our hair was in a stretched form at least 90% of the time! My mum would even wash our hair stretched with the threads on! And we would only unravel the plaits once our hair was completely dry. Detangling was a breeze then and we never had big knots. Once a month my mum would trim the ends of our hair after doing threading. And that's the routine that most girls in my high school also followed in their home. And many also had long healthy hair back then. It's only after I turned 18 and started experimenting with different hair styles and practices and then discovered and followed the team natural movement that I started having breakage and all sorts of problems with my hair.

[@bellemady1]

I'd like to add that nowadays the threading method is still practiced in Cameroon and many other parts of Africa but it has fallen out of popularity for more modern hairstyles and techniques. It is still done mostly on little girls in primary school but the grown-up ladies do not do it as much as before.

[@IamCynDoll]

‼️‼️❤️❤️❤️❤️Thank you soooo much for sharing! The key is keeping the hair stretched not straight. You made it so plain thank you!!!’

[@mrod87]

Girl preach!!!!! Stretched hair that can be left ALONE for at least a week is KEY to hair health when u have tight curls. Also, we (and i mean me) need to stop holding on to the idea we need a perfect unblemished curl pattern. I DONT WEAR WASH N GOs! Why do i need to make sure the nape of my neck stay 4a and i don’t wear my hair as 4a hair? 😂 once i released that mindset and wore stuff that was EASY for me, not what was popular…my hair flourished. I wear roller sets that i press out the roots, literally no product just heat protectant and water….and mini twists on blown out hair (i even roller my hair before blow drying the curl out) only product is a foam and shea butter on my ends…my hair is flourishing!!!!

[@MzHarlem127]

Y’all need to watch the video 4-5xs to really understand! Get a pen and paper to build a routine! Take notes ladies cause when we was growing up and getting our hair done! What was the routine that your mom used to grow your hair! Thanks Cyn for making EVERYTHING VERY CLEAR! and Ladies Please take notes! I invite you All to a challenge! Cyn also does consultation! (Right Cyn?) I’m sure she can help us All! This video is a starter! And she got mad stuff in the description box! Money a lil funny but we finna get to the business cause… IM TIRED!!! 😫😩🤯😮‍💨

[@kcwilder5077]

I feel some type of way when we are told our hair cannot grow if you let your hair grow as it is from your scalp. African hair types are the original. Before current hair care practices, African and Black American hair grew. Please understand I'm not anti heat, I think we need to not throw the baby out with the bath water. We need balance and one size does not fit all

[@nancymonroe7326]

Roller sets are my love. I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm natural but I've never done a wash n go and I always dry my hair, no matter what the style. I've never had heat or any other kind of damage. I used to feel guilty because I never follow all the team-natural rules. LOL! You took my guilt away. Thanks!! :)

It’s my pleasure love! It’s coming out of your scalp so it’s natural. Everything else is extra…❤️❤️❤️❤️

I loooooovvvvveeeee a rollerset! Only style i can do at home with salon results where i only have to put heat on my hair at styling! I flat iron the roots to smooth them and leave the ends alone…looooveee and under rated!

Nice.. me too!! Glad I found her video!! I need a stylist like her!!!

[@RondaSmith144Empress]

I'm in my fabulous early fifties with a lot of long low porosity heavy hair and I've been and will continue to be a roller set girl for life. I then hit my wavy roots with a flat iron or hit it with a pressing comb (both temp dials) plus my hair prefers some heat or air dry in big rods. In the summer I wash, condition, and wear two long plaits with aloe vera etc once a week, pincurl it, and satin scarf 😊. Wash and go/ twist outs have never been my jam plus sets have more body and last wayyyyy longer with less hair in the comb. Cyn, I remember you had me hollering talking about people using WIC rice for growth😂😂. I love you and I'm happy you're still successful in your endeavors and always educating us🥰🤩😉. Blessings to you and your family🎉🎉👍👍🔥.

You make veterans like me proud. Although, I’m a middle school Science teacher now. I followed you for quite sometime, you always rise to the occasion. I was a cosmetology instructor before settling for more education to do what I’m doing. With your expertise and skills, you know “roots” are sub (beneath) the surface. I know as professionals, we have faux pas from time to time. Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m glad I ran across this video. My hair is midway down my back (and half silver & black). I don’t feel like fooling with it. I had an appointment with a young lady to get the passion boho crochet, but like clockwork, she bailed on me again. I’m looking for something simple and I think this video helped me. Thanks.

What your saying about the natural hair styles and the single strand knots is 100% true in my case....my hair was a mess until i had kids and decided to be a straight hair natural because i didnt have the time. I use bond builders and flat iron ever 2 weeks, my curls have loosened but are still very present!! My hair feels soft and moisturized, no knots or excessive shedding. Now i found my routine i hope i see some lenth retention 🙏🏽

[@FNJ720]

What bond builders do you use?

[@lynnbrown3777]

Thank you for your video. I learned not too long ago that heat and straightening my hair helps it grow a lot and it's healthy. Thank you for your other video on how not to put conditioner on the scalp. I had no idea but I'm grateful i know it now. ❤

[@IamCynDoll]

❤️❤️❤️❤️Your so welcome beautiful!

[@BrittsLilAdvice]

I started getting my hair silk pressed every 2 weeks instead of once a month during the first quarter last year b/c I had seborrheic dermatitis (I believe, I even developed huge bald spots) and wanted to use Dermazen and Briogeo Scalp Soothing Solutions Set often enough to manage it. Those products definitely worked! I also watched your video about blue butterfly pea for that condition and drank my blue lattes. I was feeling a bit guilty for getting silk pressed every 2 weeks but my stylist has assured me that my hair is doing just fine and recovering from that dermatitis. We really have to let go of that old #TeamNatural brainwashing/programming. Thanks for all you do! ❤

[@jamesa8225]

Yesss. I’ve always been a straight natural. I’m just now dabbling into natural hairstyles and of course I looked to KZbin for guidance. And let me tell you baby I’m not doing all this extra stuff they tell you to do. Detangle shampoo detangle condition detangle add styling products detangle…spend hours on a style and hope it comes out right. Redoing my hair every couple days. And don’t get me started on the amount of products they use. If ANY hairstyle takes me more than 3 hours (wash included) I’m not doing it lol. I’ll be…I do love this wash and go though. I detangled once used a leave in and gel. Now all I have to do is figure out how to make it last for at least a week.

[@chocolat917]

I finally learned how to grow my hair. Keeping it STRETCHED and moisturized. I do try to minimize heat but straighten twice a year to get a really good trim (I do trim in between but not as thoroughly)

[@FNJ720]

What do you use to moisturize it and how often?

[@Bubbles-qh7ez]

I have worn my hair straight for years and it does well. But unfortunately I’m recovering from heat damage/thin ends from my last stylist. I will def go deep in your videos. I’m sticking to to doing my hair myself

[@IamCynDoll]

Try OLAPLEX 1 and 2 or 0 and 3.❤️❤️❤️❤️ It won’t bring the curls back but it will strengthen the bonds you have left to make your hair even stronger. Please don’t big chop.

[@KayLombo]

Wow this is really prophetic. Ive been natural since 2012 and Ive been able to grow my hair to mid back at times but suffered a lot of breakage mainly because of hair coloring 😅. My hair is damaged currently and I was tempted to do a big chop. I was diacouraged but I told myself I was gonnna get some trims and grown my hair back. Two weeks ago out of nowhere I just had the desire to stop doing wash & gos. I just got really tired of all that product in my hair and I felt like it was drying my hair out more than anything. Then I stumbled on your chamnel ❤. Its devine intervention ❤😊

[@IamCynDoll]

If you have color a wash n go is the fastest way to damage your hair. You’ve had pigment removed so the bonds must be set properly and left along until the next wash day. The color didn’t do it did you did. Keep learning and stop all your team natural hacks to turn it around.

[@leodegoddess2558]

Her hair is so thick and long ❤ you do a great job as usual

[@Kmvxh4wn]

Thank you for highlighting @asalwaysaleia. After I learned about the damage of wash and gos, I went to her channel to learn how to do roller sets. I invested in different roller sizes and good setting lotion (lotta body is the best!!).

You have also confirm that rinsing with cold water help to seal the cuticles especially for me who has high porosity 4 type hair. Since returning to my natural, I have just mustered up the courage to start wearing my hair stretched and it has made a difference in many ways. Again thank you!

Wow this was literally hair 101 and I was educated! Thank you so much for the breakdown. I knew about the sebum and it not being able to travel down the hair shaft of coily, curly hair, but felt if my hair wasn't naturally straight there was nothing I could do because I had the belief like most women with natural hair that straightening was damaging. I feel so motivated to get back into a routine to keep my hair healthy without water on a daily basis. But I do have a concern, menopause has reduced the density of my hair. What can I do to give the appearance of fuller hair?

I’m constantly doing my weekly wash and go, but am tired of the need to immediately trim my ends. ( split end nightmare ). The longer it grows.

No one’s hair needs heavy product you are going to weaken your hairshaft long term. I have high porosity hair, your cuticle needs to breath to receive moisturize from the environment. If your hair is layered in product it can’t.

What temperature do you set the flatiron to? 300? 350? Also, your opinion on the revair? Thank you for the videos.

It depends on the client & their hairs profile.❤️

@IamCynDoll What about the Kenra blow dry spray? Is that a good one to use before you blow dry?

[@IamCynDoll]

Yes that’s a great one too.

I am sadly trying to find a way to fix the damage i suffered at the hands of a Dominican blow out. I kept telling my husband days after it was straight … it smells like perm. Then when I washed it it wouldn’t revert. It’s been breaking and falling out ever since. I recently cut 8” off my once waist length hair. It is only bra strap length now and still struggling to stay on my head. I’ve cried for a few months that someone could do this without provocation. I didn’t know them and I’d never done anything to them. If you have any idea how treat my hair I’d greatly appreciate it. I am high porosity and medium density. I use to have a 4b/c texture. I cannot put a cream or butter on my hair or it loses the curl. I thought it was just heat damage even though that was my first silk press that year. Then I thought maybe it was protein overload. I had no clue and still have no clue … I do believe she put the liquid portion of a relaxer in my hair. I am just heart broken and my husband begged me not to buzz cut my hair so I didn’t. But I want to. My edges are broken and short … ugh. It hurts to talk about … 😢…

[@IamCynDoll]

They didn’t put a relaxer on you would know plus a relaxer is expensive they are going to waste money just to make your hair straighter for the price of a flat iron. They just use double, triple heat and burned your hair out that’s all. Happens all the time. Try going into ulta to get a OLAPLEX treatment with 1 & 2. Next time do your research before you let a stranger in your head. Always book a consultation.

[@jwisestevenson]

@@IamCynDoll yeah I said the same thing … why would they do that for free. I went with my hair washed and deep conditioner in my hair. I live 4 hrs away so the deep conditioner was in there a min, but I took the cap off. They rinsed it out. But in the chair she did spray something on my hair. Not enough to protect it … but she did use something. Anyway … I found a video months later by another Dominican woman who was talking about the Dominicans putting perm on black ppl hair. The video is when it confirmed my fear. I was losing handfuls of hair all of a sudden. I can assure you the heat wasn’t that high. Because I went to a salon the year before that did have the iron on what seemed like 500, so I washed my hair a few days later despite what my husband spent on it. And I spared my hair. I wish I could show you pictures. I am a new team natural. But anyway. Let me go find that video and see if I can send you a link. I have been using the olaplex shampoo and conditioner, but I used a whole bottle of the ouidad curl clarifier. No help. I used clay, no help, i used everything but the kitchen sink. I finally resorted to cutting it. I only trim my hair twice a year. But I cut it in November and again in December. It seems to be breaking less, but it’s still breaking.

Thank you for your video; excellent content. What’s your opinion on Avlon Texture Release; would you recommend?

I would just do a regular relaxer but do your research.

Hi Cyn, I had no idea the search & destroy method was bad, do you have a video on this?

[@IamCynDoll]

Video coming soon.

[@IamCynDoll]

Think about it though. You have any where between 100k-400k strands of hair on your head. Does pulling 1 of those 100k-400k strands out to cut at a time really sound like a good or uniformed way or smart way to do any to the hair? Really think about it sis.

[@Pellican516]

What is search and destroy

[@SherriDeNiro]

@@IamCynDoll I didn't mean search & destroy instead of getting regular trims. I meant if you notice a few split ends in between your regular trims, is it bad to cut them off when you see them? Should we just leave them alone and wait until our regular trim?

[@angeleyes7517]

Hi, what styles do you suggest for summer time? I usually only do wash n go's until the cooler months. But I cannot keep my hair straight in the summer and I do not wear braids. Please let me know what other options I have. Thanks

Making sure your hair is moisturized BEFORE you blowdry. Make sure to rinse out ALL conditioner. Blowdry should make your hair 80% straight (the blowdry is the most important step imo) don’t be heavy on product. Clarifying shampoo(clean thoroughly) Moisturizing shampoo Condition/or deep conditioner Rinse well Leave in(try to find a leave in that doubles as a heat protectant) don’t be heavy. Heat protectant Anti humidity spray Chi silk infusion I use Olaplex shampoo and conditioner mostly, Olaplex 6 as my leave in. Amika anti humidity spray and chi silk infusion. Play around with products to see what works for you. Everybody’s different but those are popular. And most importantly make sure you don’t have split ends. Split ends will immediately cause your hair to frizz Couple drops of oil(optional)

[@jamesa8225]

Kenras is pretty good too. I use a lot of their products

[@Latenitemomma]

@iamcyndoll Question: how does this apply to smaller children? I have a 3yr old and a 6m old. What should I use on their hair? For the 3yr old, should I just use leave in conditioner and blow dry? She doesn’t have a lot of hair to pull into a bun or anything for an end style.

Do you have a regime for relaxed hair?

[@jericaasmr8]

how often do they wash and how do they moisturize while straighten?

[@IamCynDoll]

Every 3 weeks and they don’t sebum comes from their scalp, they comb their hair everyday to move it down the hair shaft. You don’t need a moisturizer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZCtmGeEoLGlrsUsi=YOV6vTUEpG4pyhMs kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3axo4Z3iM11p5osi=16boTRS4kU-Lpizm

[@NajaRants]

I was using aussie. Now I am using the tgin rose water line my first time was yesterday. I also did an Alma hair mask for the 2nd time. I have fine natural hair as well

[@IamCynDoll]

For the last year. What products have you used on your hair and scalp and how have you been wearing your hair. What oils and butters do you use and how do you use them?

[@NajaRants]

I dont use oils and butters . Aussie shampoo and conditioner. Ors olive oil hair lotion , two strand twist or braid no inviduals

[@IamCynDoll]

Do you twist and air dry or blow out and twist? Aussie is not a brand I would recommend neither is olive oil. You have a overgrowth of bacteria on the scalp slowing down your hair growth cycle.

New Subscriber Alert. Your client's hair is beyond Gorgeous. I have Systemic Lupus. My scalp is infected therefore my hair grows differently when it grows. I'm using clove hair butter and water on my hair and it's AWESOME. But I'm looking for something to get my hair to where your client's hair is now. It's been 3 years. It's a very slow process.

Hi Cyn, I have low porosity hair and I wash my hair weekly and I apply leave in conditioner and do a few conrows while my hair is wet . I dry my hair under a hooded dryer and I leave the braids until my next wash day. Is this a good length retention routine or should I Blowdry my hair first and then do comrows? Also if I do a perm rod set can I do it on wet hair or should I Blowdry my hair first?

[@IamCynDoll]

No never braid hair when it’s wets just blow dry your hair and braid it. Hair is weakest when wet. Your damaging the hair more by leaving it wet for days and allowing bacteria to grow on your wet scalp. Wet oily places are the best environment for the bacteria that lives on the scalp. Blow dry with a leave in conditioner and braid your hair.

[@ColdDiva]

I have a clear line of demarcation from heat damage. My hair is faltering from salon visits with silk presses every 2 months. At a loss what to do at this point. Massive hair loss this past year.
