How To Recover From Heat Damage To Healthy Curly Hair

Because of "Heat damage" my hair is half curly and half straight 😩🙄

[@Eva-cc8eb]

Yes same. The front of my hair is curly sometimes and the back is always straight. But somedays I have straight hair and 1 curl in my hair I dont know what to do is used to have a semi afro

[@wymsteriax4155]

When I was younger I used to have beautiful curly hair but now I'm pretty sure my hair is damaged because I used to have it flat ironed a lot and I would always put hair products in my hair. Right now my hair is a poofy wavy mess that looks dry and has little to no curls.😢

[@Rachel-gu7mw]

Yoooo that's exactly my hair I want my old hair back sooo bad 😭😭😭😭😭

[@juli6335]

Wymsteria x oml I had sum nice as curls but always dried hair

[@brandymiller1733]

What will help is not using heat anymore. Deep condition weekly. Get a good hair cut. My hair doesn't work well with the type of shampoo shes talking about so I use regular shampoo and conditioner. I am currently pregnant so I take prenatals and it helps a lot. It takes time!!! My hair has been a 3 year process and my curls just came back after I cut 3inch off my hair.

nooneimportant 666 maybe she used to much heat. That's what is happening to me I used to have frizzy curly hair and since I straighten it a lot now it's straight from the roots and curly from the ends, so if you want to avoid this then try to use less heat on your hair or no heat at all

[@sarahrodriguez6307]

nooneimportant 132 bleaching , dying your hair so much can be a major kill added on with the heat damage. Mine is gone completely, I just seen two strands of curls now. I threw away my blow dryer, flat iron and curling iron. My hair is in an ombré blonde so that's what continues to kill it. I need to let go of dying it!

omgg, im dominican too. my mom would grow up telling me that my huge poofy hair would be ugly so i never wore it out and i got to straighten it. (id wash my hair and it'd be curly after detangling it but itd get really big afterwards) I realised my hair was curly after detangling so i decided i should put gel in my hair after washing it and it made my hair dry and brittle and id be washing it everyday. not long ago i ran out of gel and just washed my hair and my hair was curly and just so amazing. but.. since i straightened my hair so much the front parts of my hair were damaged and straight so idfk what to doooooooo

[@bigtiddiedrias9860]

joce same, at the ends of my hair it would be S U P E R straight, but my mom claims that the blowouts aren’t damaging my hair, but she wouldn’t understand because her hair is way different from mine, considering the fact that our genetic makeup are different 😅👉🏾👈🏾

Bonnie Vent if your hair is straight at the ends only it could be that they're heat damaged. Unfortunately the only way to restore your curls it would be to cut off the damaged ends and start over. I know it sucks to lose length but your hair will be so healthy

sephen flemming how long did it take you to recover your curls?

[@iheartsephen]

GoShiShi​ I haven't been consistent with my recovery so it's still taking awhile. I have noticed my hair growing it's curls back, slowly though. I'm probably a little more than half way natural curls now. I'm sure if I was more vigilant about what I use and the treatments I did it would be more.

[@iheartsephen]

Mariaalej Yea, I have been trying for awhile too, over a year, and I do wish it was growing faster. I don't have a lot of money so I use the cheaper natural products. I should probably trim it more often. I've heard that helps it grow. I just want my curly hair back.

@lono Noelle I think your settings are set differently because I can't reply to you directly. Have you heard of Aubrey Organics? Their Honey Suckle Rose conditioner is protein free! When looking for products that are suitable for protein sensitive hair, watch for ingredients like hydrolysed keratin, wheat hydrosylates, hydrolysed collagen, and/or amino acids (stay away from those!) I also found this link on NaturallyCurly.com that might also help in finding products for protein sensitive hair. www.naturallycurly.com/curltalk/protein-sensitive/166273-best-products-protein-sensitive-hair.html

so I let down my curly hair like 95% of my life. I straightened my hair once in 6 months and suddenly my hair turned straight at the core and wavy on my roots. I don't understand I had really curly big hair so?? will it come back like in a week? The first day my hair was basically straight the second day was little bit more waves and today (the third day) I have more waves

[@user-fr5tt3fn2l]

how long did it take for your curls to come back. I have the same issue ;(

[@AMoore-qx6vv]

@@user-fr5tt3fn2l It took me about 2-3 months to get my complete curl pattern back. In retrospect, the AsIAm Curl Enhancer among other hair-friendly items like argon oil is pretty useful for healthy curls. To this day I don’t understand why that happened to me, but I’m glad it was temporary. If this occurred to you, I’d suggest using healthy hair products and not use any form of heat on it until your hair completely recovers!

[@user-fr5tt3fn2l]

@@AMoore-qx6vv I’ve only straightened my hair 3 times altogether ever and the 1st and 2nd time, it was perfectly fine however I straightened my hair last October and I used heat protection. But when I came out the bath and my hair was wavy. I went from 3a/3b to 2a and some parts were still fully straight. I’ve chopped some of the straight parts off and my hair is a little bit more curlier now but there are still some straight parts at the front. I hope it comes back soon 😭😭 thanks for the advise. I don’t know what happened to my hair either. I always towel dry my hair and never use any heat so I don’t really understand how I got heat damage after one use 😩 never straightening my hair ever again tbh 😂😭

[@HAK-iq1xf]

Great video! Let me just add that when your hair is heat damaged, as in it is basically straight with a slight wave, it's probably not as dry and therefore won't require as much moisture based products and deep conditioners as your naturally curly hair. I currently am dealing with heat damaged hair that has a slight wave and it is SO easy for me to get into moisture overload and my hair starts falling out. However my roots are dryer (because that's my natural curly hair) so that's where I add the moisture based deep conditioner heavily and more moisture products rather than applying it to all of my hair. And vice versa, I apply protein conditioners heavily to the heat damaged parts because my natural hair does not need that much protein. Just thought Id add this because I wish someone had told me this before I started my hair journey. Good luck!

I made sure to not re-flat iron it at home, only kept it for a 3-5 day period, spent a whole hair day with oil and treatment and then left it out to dry just to check it out my curls and then braid/leave my hair in protective styling for at least week

Cesia S. that all depends on how damaged your hair is. if it's severely damaged, I would say maybe once every two months. if it's not as bad, perhaps 3 to 4. of you could do a big chop and get rid of all of the bad pieces at once!

I have heat damage but also i lost my hair almost fully due to being on pills for my mental illnesses and now it's been wavy and straight so i hope to gain it back with this thank you

[@maykelbermudez5502]

What about defusing?

[@sydneyelise7260]

maykel bermudez just use cold air (:

[@maileirose]

That’s what killed my hair 😭

[@hellow4130]

This is giving people false dreams. The only way to get rid of heat damage is to cut off the damage. You should have remembered to tell your subscribers that you did regular trimming to get rid of the damage. Hair is dead, once severely damaged, there is no going back.

[@ShaniTheBurningTree]

Beautydivine exactly. I have waist length hair and I trim every 6 weeks. no ifs, ands or buts about it.

[@curlsnmelanin91]

Beautydivine trimming is important but I've recovered from heat damage with protein so that's not true

[@KLT828]

Beautydivine you are so right I had heat damage and no product on the market got rid of it. Trimming and staying away from heat is the only solution.

[@Undralynw1]

Beautydivine So, true! Severe heat damage can only be repaired by cutting it off. No product will bring back kinks from severe heat damage.

[@LorenzoNoelle]

What about protein sensitive hair? Any advice ?

[@tanyaj6324]

U could still use oil on ur before every wash.... Iv found castor oil and olive works really good if u trying to get ur curls back. Oh and Scrunch ur hairs when it's wet, with a little oil....and scrunch .(with a t shirt or hands) do not use towel. Hope this helps. :)

[@lorraine3146]

I'm so happy this video exists. I desperately want my curls back. I already stopped using heat but the hair care products definitely need to change.

[@hisister4679]

my hair used to be curly and now idk why my hair is straight. i want my curly hair back so badly

[@mhynan2245]

My hair cut fried straight. I have bangs. And usually my hair is so nice and natural & wavy. Now I have to style it all the time 😐😕

[@abigaillrodriguez6400]

My sister and I are making a pact to stop putting heat on out hair. I just sent her your video. I know this gave me a lot of great tips im going to try. Definitely going subscribe and watch more videos ❤️

[@susiecamacho8554]

Omg you are my inspiration... I have been straightening my hair since I was 20 I'm now 37 and my curls don't come close to what they were. I have decided to go curly due to severe dry scalp and lack of shine, I have to be honest I hate the way I look with my curls, but your videos are giving me hope. I don't know how to style, tame or control my hair, I have bought all the products recommended, so here I go! Wish me luck and THANK U, THANK U for your videos, please keep them coming!

[@ItsOhKay]

Thank you sooooooo much for this video!!!!! You are the first person that i have found who hair was actually straight with "somewhat" curly roots. Thank you Thank you Thank you! I'm in my beginning stage and its so annoying. this gave me hope!

[@slowedwave1256]

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME my curls are weird the front part of my hair is wavy and the back of my hair is my natural curl which is curly and I want my front part of my hair to be as curly and the back part of my hair.

[@pennyproud8823]

Thank you SO SO much for this video! I really needed this. So far I am doing everything right. As far as the heat; I don't flat iron, nor wand my hair. During my "awkward hair phase" What I did (and actually still do) is, roller wrap my hair, and sit under the dryer for straight hair look. My curl pattern sort of came back after that. But I still have a lot work to do. I have do the finger coiling, satin sleeping, once a week/month treatments, and vitamins. other than that you and I for the most part have the same regime. I have some questions; (1) Do you use a hair diffuser? (2) What deep conditioners do you use? (3) How long does it take to finer coil? (4) Is there any other advice you can give me???

[@pennyproud8823]

and I do "satin sleep" lol, just not with a pillow, I wrap my hair with a satin scarf.

[@soggypasta4407]

I regret everything I did with my hair I want mine backkkk

[@maviiannantuono]

Thanks a lot for your video!!!!! I think that I´m transitioning, Ive started with the CG method for the last two days and though I feel that somedays I have curl definition , i feel that I m loosing hair... Did it happen to you???

[@RisasRizos]

Vic Ia If you are just starting the Curly Girl method, I would suggest you check out my video on finger detangling! It might answer your question!

[@antionettegraham5284]

My hair used to be really damaged in middle school and some of high school (curly at the top, sort of wavy in the middle, and straight at the ends). I went on this hair journey around my freshman or sophomore year of high school and my hair got a lot healthier and was in much better shape. And then, years later, I decided to straighten my hair for my birthday this yr and f***ed it up all over again. It's not as bad as it was before but it's still frustrating and almost makes me want to cry cuz all of my hard work went down the drain in an instant😔😔😔

[@RisasRizos]

I understand the frustration. All of that work!! That's okay though, we can get through this! try a protein treatment once a month and steer clear of straightening for a little bit!

[@antionettegraham5284]

@@RisasRizos Thank you❤️ I'll definitely have to try the protein treatments and I won't be straightening my hair again for a long time!!

[@savbun9025]

I miss my curls so much. I'm gonna try your advice and hopefully in time , my curls will come back! Thank you so much, this gives me hope ! 💓

[@rachels.1245]

Your video content and quality is awesome! I'm at the beginning stage and you hit my struggle right on the nose. I've noticed a couple youtubers mention the treseme naturals conditioner. I can't find it anywhere!! I have found the treseme botanicals conditioner, which is silicone free. Do you know if they are the same? I was allergic to devacurl's line.

[@latorayoung8835]

Did you have to cut your hair any during this process? @RisasRizos

[@nikitabisht8871]

I will die if i will not get my hair back.i love my curls nd heat damaged it badly.plz tell where can i get tresemme natural

[@aitana7831]

I'm 13 year old swimmer. I go to swim for more than an hour 6 times a week, in a pool with chlorine. when I was about 4-7 years old, I had beautiful spiral curls which I hated and tried to get rid of. I was apparently successful and all I have are curls in the nape of my neck and little ones by my ears. Idk if chlorine damages hair like heat. will your method help my hair????

[@soniadieguez7626]

I have a great ethnic hair store by me , could i find some of these products there? Or like products? I overally damaged my hair by over processed;( i had beautiful curls now it's only half of my hair. Im Colombian so that's why I was wondering if the ethnic hair store would work, please get back to me as soon as you can, and thank you for this video

[@icythea3824]

so I've just started my transition and I actually see results slowly. I have been doing it for almost a month now. I do have a question, is it bad if I shower every 2 days since im only in the beginning? I know im very late but I really need an answerrrrr

[@khaislife3118]

LOCK&KEY actually that’s really good because every time you wash you wash the natural oils out your hair so the longer you don’t wash your the better I recommend once a week depending on your hair type

[@mtglover13]

Just came across this video and so glad I did! My curly hair is so badly damaged 😭 I’m going to try your methods!! Thanks!!

[@RisasRizos]

Hey Maria!! I'm so glad that you came across this video too! I'm sorry that your hair is damaged! It happens to most of us! But I promise you can get through this! Let me know if you have any other questions about your transition and I'll see if I can suggest another video that may help! Big hugs!

[@mtglover13]

RisasRizos Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to me :) So far some of your suggested methods are working - YaY! A long way to go but I’ve still to try your egg and avocado mix!! Thanks again and I look forward to more videos 🤗

[@Shannon6B]

anyone know how i can fix my hair? its straight at the roots and the curls are at the end, i straighten it everyday because it’s too frizzy to go out & there isn’t enough curls i feel :(

[@RisasRizos]

Hey chica! The first step is to try to stop straightening it. That will make a big difference. Put your hair in more updos, try the protein treatments and deep conditioning treatments. Over time you’ll notice the curls coming back

[@kimberlysegura1278]

Hey I'm new to your channel & I subscribed!! I love your videos and love how you go in depth in everything and have a variety of different curly hair videos, I wanna start by saying I have heat damaged hair but before I used heat I use to have type 3A & 3B I now have type 3A hair in my crown area and towards the middle ends I have type 2C but I also have a few strands behind all my hair that are pretty straight I try to finger coil the strands but I guess I wasn't doing it right till I watched this video and I was really thinking about just cutting those strands really short because I never thought they would ever curl back but after seeing this video and how your hair was when you first started is amazing and gave me hope for my hair. I've completely stopped using heat tools and was also wondering since I'm trying to get my curls back and avoid heat I was curious to know would using a diffuser also fit into a heat tool since I have came a cross curly girl videos that do use diffusers

[@mija9105]

My hair gets curly only in the front and the middle/back is straight/wavy and when I was younger my hair was reallyyyy curly but I would never take care of my hair and I would always straighten it and when I would finger coil it it doesn’t curl at all helllppppp

[@vickynoo4651]

So who has curly at the top and very wavy hair at the BOTTOM lol ITS STRESSFUL
