Why I changed my mind after saying I would NEVER straighten my hair

[@hairhealthfashion9737]

I've found blow drying my hair every 2-3 weeks reduces fair knots, tangles and is helping me retain the length of my hair better than styling on my natural hair.

[@kilaa3417]

Truth !

[@victoriasvibesss]

for sure, I agree!

[@tiredoftheworld4834]

It’s still you natural hair if you didn’t chemically change the bonds

[@truthserum1271]

Ooh fairy knots 🪢 Single & multi strand knots hinders my length retention in a major way 🥴😩

[@MsChicoro]

Hair is gorgeous and you look so pretty. Very elegant and lovely silk press. You may want to wrap the hair at night and put a scarf on top of it.

[@temiadesina]

[@MsChicoro]

I have been following you for years! It’s your hair and you can do whatever to it!! I love your hair journey! You were one of the first beautiful goddesses on this platforms to convince me to go natural! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous life and hair with us! ❤

[@OrganicSlay]

If I had as much as you I would silk press at least 3X and in between just wrap your hair with a scarf and to combat frizz is staying cool really lol.. the more presses the less frizz overtime and your stylist can use frizz free products during blow drying for it .. also after you shower stay from humidity by leaving bathroom door open and using a scarf, bonnet then shower cap. You look your pouring love into yourself and look beautiful!

[@temiadesina]

thank you so much for the tips and yes. im loving on myself a ton

[@dwise2165]

Nice! At least you tried it but I love your hair in its natural state.

[@ulaniewilson]

Silk Press looks so beautiful and healthy, sis🔥😍 I give myself a DIY Silk Press once a year and haven't experienced any damage.🙌🏾 The key to minimizing heat damage is all about pre and post silk press care. Alway do a deep conditioning treatment prior to your silk press and follow up with a deep protein and moisturizing deep conditioner coming out of a silk press to deeply nourish and restore your hair after heat styling. For maintaining frizziness, use a few drops of chi silk infusion on the ends before you tie your hair up at night. My silk press usually last 3-4 weeks.💪🏾

[@yokebreaker7675]

Your hair is beautiful & you’re gorgeous!💜 I have fine hair too. I used to get a silky press 2-3 times a year up until 3 years ago. I had a lot of hair loss and damage due to illness and medications. I am coming up on a year now with locs that I absolutely love.🫶🏾 One tip I can give you for fine long hair is to try rolling your hair with hair rollers. Rollers add body and fullness to fine hair.💜💪🏾👑

[@temiadesina]

thank you so much for the tups and yay to loving your locs, im gonna get those some day

[@cecilaanderson8936]

Beautiful results ! Give me hope for my hair once I straighten it .

[@temiadesina]

You got this!

[@Fehintola]

For the frizz, you can try putting a little bit of mousse on your hair and then wrapping it. I would just suggest you research different products so that it doesn’t dry your hair out with the alcohol content.

[@BionAvastar3000]

Try half-up updo styles and french braids and such. Look up "wedding hair" for inspo.

[@carlasway1339]

Your hair is beautiful. Thank you for not cutting it ❤

[@DaNewBlack]

I had the exact same thoguhts recently. I love my natural hair and I don’t ever want to relax it but I want to try different things. Straight won't be on the list because I'm sweating half the week so its a waste but I need something new!!

[@temiadesina]

lol luckily i rarely sweat so its been holding up but today it was sooooo oily and stringy looking i had to bbuy dry shampoo for the first time. defintiely try new things

[@kilaa3417]

drawstring half wigs in your texture might be a good change! My favorite is Bahama mama wig or Stunna from outre 💫

[@FNJ720]

I am almost 12 years natural. My hair is a little past my shoulders I have never gotten a silk press. I have flat ironed my hair at home a few times, but not often. The last time I flat ironed my hair was two years ago, and I recently blew, dried it out with a blow drying brush, which gave it a somewhat much straighter look, and that was my first time doing that also in two years.

[@temiadesina]

i want to learn to do a silk press on my own lol. but right now, i think i need t master blow drying

[@KenDripped]

for frizz the ion silk drops from sallys is just like bio silk but only $10 1 DROP IS MORE THAN ENOUGH especially for the humidity in toronto it works wonderssss

[@JessicaDessus]

Im going 3yrs natural and your videos have been very helful thanks for posting and you looks beautiful

[@temiadesina]

You are so welcome, thank you so much

[@srw817]

You and your hair are Beautiful!

[@temiadesina]

thank you so much

[@shannonarmstrong6364]

It still looks absolutely gorgeous

[@Angie_Onaleta]

Your hair is gorgeous!! I maintain my silk presses with a light oil and only apply it to the low mids and ends and wrap it. I only do them twice a year because i IMMEDIATELY start missing my curls.😅

[@trinicurlz6677]

I am so interested to know if you had any heat damage. It looks beautiful ❤

[@bonnievital4105]

My hair is fine and it tangles. Fine hair tangles. I use mielle rosemary oil on the ends to control tangles. Oil helps my hair when it gets tangle. My hair is long also. Hope this was helpful. Oo also, I think that the clothes we wear have something to do with fine hair being tangled. Because the hair hangs down on our clothes.

[@nopeninja9765]

Because you can and because you wanted to. Knew the answer before even watching the video!

[@hairhealthfashion9737]

Argan oil is a light oil, help smooth strands and tame frizz.

[@Angelxbaby88]

You look amazing. I am glad you didn't cut your hair

[@lesliesestates2763]

Gorge😍us…frizz is a given, our hair wants to convert back to curly…

[@Ebizzill]

girl, I said I was never going to wear wigs... and now here I am 2 years later with a whole wig and for 2 years my co-workers have not seen my hair...

[@kendellharris8781]

Beautiful!

[@temiadesina]

thank you

[@777videos7777]

: / I just came across your channel and watched your Shrinkage video. Issa Rae is a perfect example of a true Natural who knows how to switch up styles, yet maintains her pride in her natural hair.

[@chicchi1682]

This is great but I'll be so proud of you when you finally decide to experiment with color even if it's with braids only 😅

[@andie9762]

How do you care for it at night? Do you wrap it?

[@temiadesina]

yes, i wrap it on if im doing heatless curls then i sleep with the curlers in my hair

[@moengele7560]

Gorgeous ❤

[@valeriesignaturesalon]

Purchase a wax stick to lay the frizzy

[@temiadesina]

is that just for the roots?

[@valeriesignaturesalon]

@@temiadesina the wax stick help the silk press to last longer as well as to keep the hair smooth. So the hair does not frizz. The wax stick is great also for fly aways.

[@anitathompson261]

Very beautiful ❤thanks so much for sharing have a wonderful blessed day today in our wonderful Lord God and savior Jesus Christ bye 👋 ❤

Natural hair is fading away.

[@temiadesina]

it is, for me i still love my natural hair though

[@SJ-ff2du]

I don’t think it’s fading away per se. I think that we’re finally embracing its full versatility and that we’ve finally “cracked” the code on how to care for our hair, whether in its kinky/curly/coily state and or in its straight state. We can choose to have the best of both worlds, while looking however we want to, for any given timeframe 💜💓.

[@abioni6092]

I think a few of the OGs on YT just want to try something new. But the younger generation are rocking natural hair more than ever was the case when I was growing up. I think that natural hair has been normalised for them which is beautiful to see.

[@gratefullandblessed0135]

I think it just depends on the individual. I think on social media it’s fading but in real life it’s still there 💯

[@GINGERALEBUBBLES]

@@gratefullandblessed0135 it will always be people with natural hair. The year i was born there was a serious natural hair fad. I am so happy i had enough time to learn in 2013 that my hair hates sulfates it literally changed the relationship i had with my hair. I never knew i had 4a curls. Imagine my surprise. I wish i could show my grandma cause we had a time. As a kid, trying to moisturize my protein sensitive hair with the products that were available. 🥺 I had the thickest dooby wrap by the best hairdresser in the 90s too tho 😉. Nothing like a fresh wrap when you take it down lol. But i am team curls 4ever. Now, it is nothing like a clean, deeply moisturized, curly defined puff like i had in my baby pictures.

[@MonCheriLynn]

I told you on IG, but I'll say it here too! You have been my one and only hair crush since before I did my big chop in 2015. I watched you for almost 2years before I got the courage to do it! And I have followed your regimen. I don't comb. I use no heat. I don't do braids. I have only had it straighten once for a trim. To see you now ready to venture into new territory gives me the courage to do so also! There is no one else that has maintained such beautiful natural hair than you, Queen! You did that and that silk press is fire on you!!!! 🤎🤎🤎🤎

[@quinmcmullen9437]

Sane thing with me!! ❤
