Heat Trained Natural Hair Wash Day Routine | Simply Subrena

[@GnarledBrain]

I have fine type 4 hair and I'm about to switch back to heat training, I recently straightened my hair for the first time in almost a decade and I can see how much the single strand knots and long term protective styling has taken a toll on my hair. I'm going back to the days of sittin in my momma's kitchen and gettin my hair pressed once a month. Gonna be tuning in regularly for info on my new hair journey!

[@f8thwks66]

Awesome. I love your video and your hair. I am almost 64 years old and I don't know why I have been putting myself through the struggles of my hair. I have no intentions of wearing wash and goes because I hate the shrinkage and all the single strands knots. So after watching your video, I have decided that I will at least blow dry after washing and then I can twist or braid. At least I want have to deal with the shrinkage and my hair will be easier to manage. As of tonight, I realized that it's my hair and I will please me.

[@SimplySubrena]

Yes!! Struggling and fighting with your hair is a thing of the past for me. I can’t lol

@@SimplySubrena How long have you been heat trained?

[@blytheaimee4460]

@Gwen Bell, I'm in total agreement with you!

[@PositiveLeigh]

And these "gurus" say that natural hair can't thrive with heat 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Sis you and your hair is just stunning.

Thank you love! ❤️

Yaaaasss

Not gonna torture myself anymore! Gonna do this!!

[@earthangel6858]

How'd it go?

[@missymissee]

It’s very simple to understand really. If u have no intention of wearing ur natural hair in its curly state anymore, and u decide to continuously straighten ur hair with heat but without relaxing it = u have transitioned ur hair to being a “straight natural”. I have straightened my hair twice now since my post relaxer almost 2 1/2 years now, and I love it. My hair lasts for a month straight or longer if I want it to. (At present, my length is around where this girl’s hair is...never had a problem with my hair growing)...and this myth abt “heat damage”. If u r straightening ur natural hair on a regular, ur curl pattern will get looser each time u straighten it, duh...Ur hair isn’t being damaged by the heat; it’s being trained by the heat to stay straight even when wet. Does this girl’s hair look heat damaged to u? Looks like a healthy head of hair to me

[@SimplySubrena]

Exactlyyyyyy. People just want something to be mad about smh lol I just live my life and mind my business

[@missymissee]

@@SimplySubrena bottom line is, do with ur hair what u deem best and stop ridiculing others for doing whatever they want with theirs

[@coffybelle7534]

I use 450. Anything less just doesn’t do it for me lol. Now I’m only doing heat once a month. Before it was every two weeks, and I used a hot comb before flat ironing. That accelerated the loosening of my curls. So now I’ve dropped the hot comb and I can get an amazing press with just the flat iron. I decided to only do once a month because I don’t want my hair to be too loose.

[@SimplySubrena]

Yea lately I’ve only been straightening once a month and I love how my hair is reacting so far

[@kaykay56]

I have about 4b/4c hair will it loosen my curl pattern so I can see the curls but they are looser?

[@coffybelle7534]

Kay Kay I think it just depends. For me, some of it just went into no curls pattern but just looser and fluffy. And some of it went into more curls like a 4a curl.

[@kaykay56]

Legally Afro ah okay thank you !

[@earthangel6858]

How often do you wash it within that month? Do you run into issues with working out?

[@funo3308]

Your hair is so pretty!!! How do you wrap your hair? i always end up with weird marks after taking down the wrap

Thank you boo 🥰

[@latonyaeasterlin3432]

hey, how often do you flat iron??I have been getting a silk press every 2 weeks, but I think I'm going to only do it once a month. I am afraid of having too much heat.

[@youkendehunique6317]

Same I’ve been doing it every two weeks for about 2 months but I’m going to do once a month or get braid styles inbetween.

[@MAGAISKLAN]

This length is my goals!!!

[@JADAYOUNG7]

Is there a difference in “heat damage” hair and “heat trained” hair? Is “heat trained hair” high key embracing that you damaged your natural texture? Not being messy I honestly love when people turn negative situations positive.

[@Desiii2000]

Since heat training is loosening your curl pattern, it is literally damage by definition. The difference is the intensity of the damage between the 2. Heat training does involve some level of heat damage, because the hair texture won’t completely revert back to it’s original curly state. You have to inflict some degree of damage to loosen the curl pattern. If the heat damage isn’t too severe, you can still grow your hair and retain length because your hair isn’t breaking off and you can retain length if you don’t damage it too much (heat training). If the damage is too severe, then you end up with breakage and you don’t retain length. I was a heat trained natural for years, so I know it’s possible to grow long and relatively healthy heat trained hair, but I knew all the while I was damaging my curl pattern but I didn’t mind at the time.

Hi, how does your straight hair hold up in humid weather? Do you live in a cool climate?

[@SimplySubrena]

No I live in Florida, it’s very humid here. I use a anti humidity hair spray which I forgot to show in this video but it’s in my other straight hair videos. It’s called kms hairstay

[@britjj5126]

Simply Subrena ah I see! Thanks for getting back to me. 😃

Thanks for sharing! How did you damage your hair with a Denman brush? My hair seems very similar to yours, and mine is thinner and shorter in the front as well. I’m wondering if I’m doing something to cause damage and not realizing it.

[@FTYC2022]

Omg, I was so disappointed as well at the discontinuation of the Shea Moist high porosity conditioner. My hair loves it! I'm so glad I bought 2 of them when I realized they discontinued the shampoo at Sally's. I'm going to stretch it to last as long as I can😄. I often wonder if it's the vinegar in it that's makes it so effective.

[@SimplySubrena]

Girl!! It broke my heart 😩 lemme see if somebody got it on amazon

[@FTYC2022]

@@SimplySubrena Good idea! I do see that their jamaican castor oil line has apple cider vinegar in it as well. I just tried the leave-in from that line and it was pretty moisturizing. I'm going to try the conditioner and see what happens. Maybe I'll add my own little dose of mongongo and hemp oil to it to see if I get the same results as the OG conditioner we love🤗.

[@FTYC2022]

Update: I just ordered 5 jars online at Sally's. It's on clearance!

[@TanyaScorpio]

What temp do you use.. when i do flat iron vs roller set hood. personally set mine at 365 degrees.. it's not really hot at all and I can pin curl for more curl if needed. My hair will set any way i dry... roller set keeps my girl a good week.. lol

[@madea1012]

What is heat-trained hair? Is it heat damaged hair?

[@SimplySubrena]

Some say it is, to me it’s a natural who wears their hair straight and is not committed to their curl pattern

About 2 weeks and then the next 2 I would do a bun or heartless style

[@kinyadajay]

You have heat damage though... what’s off about your routine? I wanna heat train but I’m not taking damage for it.

[@Mskyraelise]

If you want to wear your hair straight consistently, your curl pattern is going to loosen there is no way around it. She doesn't wear her hair curly so she doesn't care about her curl pattern. If you want to maintain your curl pattern, heat styling on a regular basis is not the way to go.

[@kinyadajay]

I guess I meant getting my hair to the point wear it doesn’t revert immediately after straightening it. I experienced a lot of frizz but I learned since this comment that it could be due to split ends or not having a good blow dry routine.

[@ggsnaps]

Meanwhile her hair is long, silky and flowing. These "heat damage" labels don't mean anything, I've been wearing a press for 30 years, when my hair is wet it's not all uniform curls, I have loose and straight strands. The trendy natural hair folks would say I have "heat damage", yet i have minimal breakage and my hair goes down to the middle of my back!

[@E_MZ_]

@@ggsnaps just because it looks good doesn’t mean it isn’t damaged. The curl pattern of your hair is in fact damaged, and I say this as someone who straightened my hair weekly for years up until a few weeks ago and whose hair is thick and long. But some sections of my hair literally will not hold a curl anymore.
