Keratin Treatments for type 4 Hair: The Pros and Cons you NEED to know

[@naturalnadinee]

Hey guys! It’s been a while I have missed yall!!! I realised 2 of my cons were basically the same which just goes to show how hard it was to think of cons!😂😂

[@letsgrowtogethertv]

Im a straight hair natural too and I agree I keep telling people that curls are not an indication of healthy hair! You can have perfect curls and when you straighten it them ends be tore up hair shaft be tore up!

[@naturalnadinee]

Literally that🤣 loved them wash n go’s but they split ends be having a FIELD DAY

Thank you for your videos! Yes please do a video on an updated routine about maintaining the silk press. I am struggling with my edges and nape reverting, the rest is fine 🙏🏼

[@naturalnadinee]

Thank you, will definitely do a video on my tips!xx

[@emeth1455]

It's good to see you back doing videos. Your hair is beautiful. Furthermore, it's hard to believe you only have a blowout, on your hair. I have heard many bad things about Keratin treatments, from Cosmetologist, but your hair is telling me something different. I would like to see an updated video. Do you have a video on how you do your Keratin treatments?

[@naturalnadinee]

Thank you girl! & ikr I need to do an updated video but essentially used a rounded blow dry brush and just went to town! && my last video gives a tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4jbf36jis18qbssi=N3BJD3bjnuyeEdX_

[@naturalnadinee]

Awww thank you girl!🥹🤍

[@Virtuenow]

I love the end where you illustrate your curls vs your straight hair now. It can be very deceiving (curls hiding damage). And I’m so glad to see the long-term use of the amino acid treatments still can lead to great length retention. Thank you ❤!

[@naturalnadinee]

Thank you girl! I can’t wait to see where my hair will be a year/2 from now! & yeah I had to mention it cause people assume curls = healthy and it doesn’t always🤍🤍

Your hair is looking lush. 🤩 Keratin all the way for me. It's the only way that I can retain length for my fine strands. I love all of your hair tips for growth. Do absolutely share your updated routine coz we need this.

[@naturalnadinee]

Thank you! & honestly I’m so glad I decided to do one, when done correctly it can really help your hair grow

[@Michelle-dm3nl]

I hope it's ok to say this but since you mentioned it in another video, your nose looks so good now that it seems it's healed etc. Would you be open to do a video about it? Who you went to, the process etc. There are not so many black women in social media talking about it

[@naturalnadinee]

@@Michelle-dm3nl hey girl it’s absolutely fine thank you! I literally love it more and more as it heals! And I would be happy to answer any questions privately but don’t think I’d do a designated video cause the internet can be abit crazy sometimes 😂 there is few black girls that do post and the ones that do end up getting so much hate because it’s seen as taboo for some reason 😔xx

[@gisellenelson7195]

Glad to see you back on here with new content. You look good and hair looks healthy. Please do an updated video re:the texture release and your routine for the blow out. Is texture release safe for those transitioning from relaxer to natural hair?

[@naturalnadinee]

Thank you! And I definitely will, with regards to transitioning I couldn’t say 100% I would avoid it on relaxed hair tv xx

[@keepingitnatural7601]

So I recently had my first successful silk press 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳. I only straighten my hair twice a year when I’m getting it cut, because I love my curly hair more. It lasted 3 weeks, I did get a few sisters with voices at the back. However , that could be easily disguised. Now even though I am black I have type 3 fine hair. My hair goes straight whether I use GHDS (185 heat )or my bio ionic 10x on 230. Obviously it’s dead straight with the 230 heat. Luckily, I used the curlsmith bond salve to revert my curls and had no heat damage. Also I did not use any more heat , once I’d straightened my hair out the first time

[@naturalnadinee]

Oh I love that!! Did you go to a salon to get it done or not and when I wore my hair curly I would do a silk press once a year ish too xxx

[@keepingitnatural7601]

@@naturalnadinee my sister is a professional hair stylist, so I have her do it. I’m not used to the length, so once it starts to show its length I’m like “I’m out!” lol. It takes her 45 mins to blow dry and then 40 mins to straighten it. So I leave it to her 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

[@STP255]

Please give an update after a year on keratin - then I will consider. Would be good to see more long term usage on this - I really don’t want to loose my curls, but I’m really fed up with fighting split ends. My hair actually stopped reverting in humidity.

[@naturalnadinee]

@@STP255 hey girl I’m almost 2 years into my keratin journey 😊

[@shauna-kayebeecher2726]

How often do you do the keratin treatments? I used to do them every 3 months and that was too frequent for me. I’m thinking about 2x a year now.

[@naturalnadinee]

So I only do my roots probably every 3-4 months , I rarely ever retreat my whole hair xx

[@sambu41]

an updated routine would be great.

[@CharlotteMasonTT]

Does your hair Revert after you wash it? I put gk Keratin but it reverted after first wash. Also how do you put it away at night

[@kaylagreen327]

Hi, when did you notice that you lost your curl pattern? I did a texture release a month ago and it definitely loosened my curl pattern but not completely. I still use keratin hair mask and silicone treatments regularly, but honestly I would like to workout and do saunas without my hair converting back.

[@naturalnadinee]

Hey girl, mine literally went after the first time 😂 never saw them curls again, but it definitely depends on how you do it, most keratin treatments require quite a lot of heat initially to seal it in thoroughly (3-6 passes with a straightener on each section) which is what I did on my first go, how did you straighten your hair after the treatment?xx Also amino acids aren’t as strong as full blown keratin treatments so maybe your texture might need that to get straight x

[@kaylagreen327]

@@naturalnadinee I followed the routine in the last video you posted and I think you only did 2-3 passes. But it makes sense cause you probably don’t need to do that many if you do it regularly. I did my first texture release in September, but try to do more passes when I do another round in January. Thank you!😊

[@DPTEandME]

Did anyone catch which i.e. the brand of her keratin treatment please? I don’t see it in the links either….

Is the brand you use formaldehyde free?? And can you do a video how a keratin treatment compares to a relaxer in terms of damage?

so do you still moisturize your hair everyday or so like you use to or has your routine changed a bit? xoxo

[@naturalnadinee]

In the first week/2 I don’t typically need to but after that yes leave in and an oil before I wrap my hair at night xxx

[@sagndrew]

Which keratin products do you use , I myself would like to go the straight natural look however I ve heard so many horror stories . Please help.

[@naturalnadinee]

Hey girl I use the AVLON texture release & also I feel like it’s just up to you what you prefer to do with your hair! Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. X

[@MrsNicecamera]

How do you moisturize and how often?

[@naturalnadinee]

So I use a leave in and an oil, (optional) I use a thick leave in on my ends and wrap my hair straight after so it doesn’t revert back. I wake up with moisturised and straight hair x

Could I use flexi rods a week after a keratin treatment?

[@naturalnadinee]

The one I use says after 3 days you can go back to styling as usual so 7 days should be fine xx

[@MrsNicecamera]

So since you're hair "stays straight," if you wanted to wear curly hair, your only option is a twist or braid out??

[@naturalnadinee]

I don’t really wear twist/braid outs so I don’t even know what one would look like on me, I pretty much just wear my hair straight 99% of the time
