Type 4 girlie with heat damage 🙋‍♀ I last got my hair straightened in Sept 2022 and just like you I told myself I shouldn't do it lol. Since then, I got most of my normal texture back but one major change I noticed is that my hair seems to be more high porosity than low porosity so yeah that happened. This natural hair thing is a whole journey for sure 😅😂

[@SharatiaBanks]

Heavy on the “journey” lol you live and learn 😩 what have you been doing to get the texture back? Or are you just growing it out?

[@LekahThomas]

I wanted to note if any one suffering from low vitamin D deficiency it causes fibroids. Please 🙏🏽 ladies make sure you are taking vitamin supplements and herbal supplement etc and so forth. I suffer from severe menstrual symptoms. I have to wear depends and pads. Many doctors don’t share this information. Vitron C or Floradix is good to take for low iron or iron deficiency.Prayers and blessings to everyone. If anyone has any tips to help manage this please feel free to share . Great 👍🏽 hair tips for beginners and learners. Very helpful.

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@LekahThomas wow! I’m so glad you said that. I read that in an article a couple months ago. Wish I could remember the name of it. But vitamin d is so important and it’s crazy how a lot of us are deficient. What’s even crazier is that even though so many ppl are plagued with the deficiency, the health care system only allows for one free test a year!!! Magnesium, iron, vitamin d, folic should be in top

Hello Sharatia! I hzve a suggestion for you. During your washday, Instead of puting your twist in your mouth,try using clips,plastic ones. It will make your life so easier☺

This is my first time seeing your channel, and i wasn't bored throughout. I'm a type 4 girlie, and i might have heat damage 💔(might cos it's still in protective styling, so i won't know until i take it out). That was actually my first time ever using heat in my hair, and it was because i have an issue saying no to people 🤦‍♀️. I don't think she used heat protectant, and my hair just felt different in a bad way and the amount that broke off. I've been thinking about how I'll restore it cos im still learning about my hair type, and i thought I'd just have to big chop just to have it healthy again. Subscribing so i see how you deal with yours 💗

[@SharatiaBanks]

first of all, dang @teniolaakanmu4386 I hate that happened to you!! thanks for sharing, we're def gonna get through it together. I know the style wasnt worth the health of your hair, but did it even come out good? Also, if this was recent, sometimes it can take a few washes for the hair to go back to normal sometimes. hopefully that's the case

About your issues with the twist knotting whenever you wash them, I recommend that you braid the roots then just continue with twists

[@SharatiaBanks]

@@sccott-q6k but what about the ends? Cause that’s where it knots. If anything there may be very little matting at the roots but the tangles are insane at the ends

Hey so I definitely love doing the plaits since seeing you do them, even though they take forever and a millennium to do them, HOWEVER i just wanted to know, have you ever dried the plaits in the revair after washing? I haven’t had success with it yet. It usually pulls strands of hair out of the twists when I did it with twists but i didn’t want to be forced to redo my braids if it will do the same thing

Not as much since I’ve been doing this style. My hair technically stays stretched so every once in a while a couple pop up. You can see one in the close up I showed. Some ssk can be because of health oddly enough. Speak with a trichologist, and theyll confirm.

Girl I got heat damage earlier this month for the first time ever and I finally gave in to the olaplex cult. My shipment just came in and will be using it weekly. I heard it’s good when you use it with protein treatments as well but you have to do four week olaplex then a heavy protein treatment then another four weeks with olaplex. I’ll come back here and tell you if that actually worked for the heat damage 😂😂😂😂
