Her hair has grown back since that set back! I just love her cute dimple! I hope she is doing well.

[@SimplyTamika]

It has. She is doing so much better. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@lindajones4080]

Thank you Chica. 😊 I'm going to do just the blow out so I can have volume and less heat. That young lady already has thick hair my daughter too so they already have the volume. So pretty afterwards. You did a great job on her hair.

[@dealex08]

Yes I love that hair care is about practicing over and over again. I tend to be hard on myself for barely learning to self care on my hair I get impatient and frustrated but I have seen progress

[@Virtuenow]

@11:16 most flat irons give me the results of your 1st flat iron - a dull sheen, but not smooth and shiny (including the FHI Platform), so yeah, I can definitely see the difference. The only iron that has given me smooth shine is the Croc Infrared. Have you ever tried Croc flat irons?

[@whitneyjordanwilson]

I just got a revair, you got me so excited to use it!

Thank you for your beautiful and trust inspiring informative videos. Your commitment and love for great styling and hair care shows in your work. Thank you. I think I’ll start being more caring with my hair. You have convinced me I should buy a RevAir dryer too. Not sure whether the code would work if I’m buying it in Canada. God Bless you.

[@truthserum1271]

Thanks for sharing.🙏🏾❤️ I love the pre-shampoo step before saturating to ensure a cleaner scalp. My daughter tends to get quite a bit of buildup and it can be difficult to remove in the shower.

[@SimplyTamika]

Yes. This step makes it so easy when you finally shampoo and scalp gets much cleaner this way.

[@makeupswatchfan575]

Beautifully done 🌸🌸❤️❤️

[@Academiacaramelcurlz]

This is how straight my hair could look using the RevAir??! My hair NEVER looks this straight after using the Rev.

[@wm5752]

Needed to be on the list

[@Doc_McStuffins]

I move the wand around like that too and it gets my roots straight. I try to comment on other videos where people just let it sit on huge sections or pump up and down, but they don't seem to understand. I don't chase with a comb like you, my fine strands aren't separated enough and would snap off, but I do brush midway while the section is still a little damp and that does well. Love the revair, but my hair needs a break from all the brushing. Great job

[@SimplyTamika]

Thank you. That’s the best way to get the roots dry with the RevAir.

[@mschelle2762]

Her hair has grown. Good to see her smiling again.

[@romikawhite8592]

Hello! Excellent videos and content. Question? Do you prefer spray in heat protectants or serum heat protectants? The one you used here from Paul Mitchell looked like a serum. I was wondering was there a difference in silk press outcomes. Thanks.

[@renettegordley3493]

Do you ever use a straighten comb when you silk press hair? I got my hair pressed every two weeks from 5 to 16 & she always used a pressing comb. Im asking to learn how it's done by others. Thanks a lot it looks just as silky & bone straight to me as my late hairdresser would press all her other clients & my hair. You did an amazing job.

[@naturallympressed7995]

Hi Tamika, the revair is the best tool I could’ve invested in. See you soon

[@SimplyTamika]

Thanks. Setting 6 on high.

I want to purchase this and come out of using my T3 but I want to know does it pull and also can you use most products with it, like leave in conditioners and oil serums?

[@pualenaisz4403]

So, Tamika, you only use a heat protectant Once during a silk press? And only during the blow dry( RevAir)? You don't use a heat protectant when using a flat iron? Was there any heat damage? Sorry, new to this...

Hi Tameka, Thank you for the information. Her hair looks gorgeous. Mine always turns out frizzy. I have thick 4C hair. Does it matter what kind of shampoo and conditioner you use when you want to do a silk press?

[@LindseyShields88]

You probably aren’t using a high enough temperature on your flat iron

[@schsas7743]

Tfs. If you don't me asking what levels did you have your rev air on please. Final look was beautiful

[@judywalker2849]

I have a RevAir too, I use 7 as my setting for thick hair. But RevAir says to use the setting best for you.

[@SimplyTamika]

Tiara’s hair is fine but she has medium density. I use setting 6 for her hair. It tangles on the ends on 7. Thank you 😊

[@bdm72257]

Great video, I have a rev air and I love it. However, mine doesn't get my hair that straight. I don't let the hair stay in it that long either. What setting is yours on?

[@SimplyTamika]

I use it on high, speed 6. I usually leave it on about 90 seconds per section.

Your sectioning game is 🎯.

Hi Tamika, I would like to know which flat iron you used, and what temp would you say is good to use on medium fine , low porosity curly hair? Thank You kindly, in advance. ❤

[@SimplyTamika]

I’ll put it in the comments but it was the Babyliss pro nano titanium 1 inch iron.

[@powderytingzs4235]

I noticed you never wrap the silk press is it because the hair is longer?

[@sadiasan]

Do these products make you yawn constantly?

[@eduns123]

How does she maintain and keep her hair straight?..

She probably wrap her hair. In my country ladies do a "tubi" to keep their hair straight. It is like take your hair and turned it around your head keeping it with pins until finished turning all the hair, then put on a special hairnet on and take off all the pin.

[@ReenieG1UK]

@ I do this..A Dominican Republic You tuber showed it…Fab tip ❤️

You did a wonderful job, her hair looked kind of straight before you started though, is that still healthy

[@SimplyTamika]

Thanks. Her hair is healthy.

[@annadibba7905]

i wonder how long her hair took to revert? my "silk press'" last only a few hours

[@bettymarshall8024]

I want to be a straight hair natural after almost eight years but I don’t want any setbacks my hair is long and thick. I want to know how often can I straighten it. My hair gets really tangled and with the heat is it possible to train it?

[@kooky434]

I’m the same!!

[@jaylafarmer2622]

I can tell you my personal experiences, my mom used to straighten my hair every two weeks for a year or two STRAIGHT. I’ve NEVER had heat damage. My hair was heat trained, but ever since I started doing my own hair completely natural with no heat (4 years+) it’s not heat trained anymore. I have never had a perm or relaxer so I’ve been 100% my whole life. It depends on how well you take care of it, the heat settings & how your hair responds to heat. Hope this helps!

[@silviadickey3581]

its easy to train if u find a stylist tht cares about hair. do not go to dominicans if u don't want heat damage, don't use a stylist who does not kno how to regulate how much heat to use on hair; like flatironing at 450° with multiple passes. also if u train the hair, u will lose some of ur curl pattern, as in it may become looser than normal but tht does not mean its damaged. it will also get easier to handle with a less tight curl pattern. make sure to get trims regularly - about every 8 to 10wks - then u can hold out every 3-4mos with a light dusting.

[@jaylafarmer2622]

Bouncing off of what Silvia said, I wouldn’t suggest getting regular trims in a time slot if you are also trying to retain length. Just trim as needed, I just got my hair straightened after a year and two months of not dusting my ends or straightening my hair & after I straightened it, my ends weren’t bad. So, just make sure you trust or look at your ends before they start cutting!

[@mac9733]

Start with blow drying. Then transition to low heat straightening. Increase until your hair can handle 375°, if your hair is thick, then 400°. I do not suggest increasing past that point, but if ever needed, 410° at most. It's all about taking baby steps until you can reach the deep end 😁 Good luck on your journey

[@mac9733]

That's her daughter, and she's mentioned that she had never relaxed her daughter's hair - it's 100% natural. However she does straighten it every 2 weeks, so in the beginning you see her washing out the previous silk press.
