When you silk press or use any heat protectant, you have to use a clarifying shampoo or regular sulfate shampoo to get rid of the silicone from the protectant. The wash after your silk press didn’t revert properly because the silicone was still on your hair repelling water. The strands weren’t able to take in the moisture so you wound up with dry hair. The acv this time around was able to break it down, that’s why it felt better immediately after, but a good shampoo would have done that. Sulfate free shampoos don’t remove water resistant silicones.

[@apara2005]

Exactly!!! It wasn't the method that bought her hair back, it was because she did a good wash. The shampoo, the ACV, and the mask broke up all that build up. She could have save so much time by just doing 3 washing with a clarifying shampoo🤣.

ACV cannot break down silicone. Silicone isn't going to block that much water either.

[@mbarbier7197]

I don't kow if it was the heat itself or the time it stayed straight and without the products she uses normally on curly

[@nettaleanne]

@@mbarbier7197 I feel like it’s because the hair cuticles had been flat and dry for a while because of straightening. I straighten my hair twice a year and always have to clarify and use the aphoghee 2- min protein treatment to juice my hair back up. No heat damage just the hair is so dry and stretched it needs to be completely treated and refreshed.

[@xBeyondMystery]

@@mbarbier7197 @Ade Free it was also the oil. Hair was dry and oil sealed the hair so all the products after that didn't cleanse nor moisturized the hair, the layer of oil didn't allow water nor any product to coat the hair properly

[@user-bk9xs3hy7y]

@@xBeyondMystery does the oil do this, is oil not good. I mean when I wash my hair I add oil to my scalp and hair and brush it. But after few days my scalp feels itchy and my hair become frizzy.

[@xBeyondMystery]

@@user-bk9xs3hy7y I think so. Most of the youtubers use oil and say it works for them but others had bad experiences with it, every hair is different. Some hair stylists think it isn't good because of what I commented before. I have a similar problem to yours but with shea butter and I stopped using it for a few washes and I think it reduced the itchiness and dandruff. I would recommend you that next wash you clarify your hair to get rid of the oil (with a sulfate shampoo) and rinse thoroughly, apply conditioner avoiding scalp, rinse again and style if you want. If you feel your hair and scalp is clean, the next washes you can use a sulfate free shampoo. Wash more often if necessary or if your scalp itches in a short time, your hair will be more hydrated with time. Try to avoid oils and shea butter for a month for example, and see if the itchiness gets better.

Your hair looks so much better! Looked like it needed a good clarifying - product used to coat the strands to prevent heat damage can be stubborn to wash out! Good for preserving a silk press but not so much when you're trying to revert!

[@krysxmoon]

The rinsing step is SO SATISFYING! Watching all the shampoo slide and gather at the bottom and you push it out with your hand😩🤣❤ 4:17

[@kimberlyrobinson571]

Glad you did this. The ACV helped lift that silicone off of your hair from the silk press. We have to remember to clarify after using heat protectants with silicone. Those silicones are designed to block moisture out. Perfect for straight hair styling. Bad for curly hair. You have to cleanse really well when reverting. Beautiful job.

[@SH-ix6mc]

That's why my hair is so dry?! Thank you. I had no idea.

[@nonnogirl123456789]

Thanks for the info babe

[@yacobeinauan9533]

Yeah and it also seals up the cuticle so your hair won’t be frizzy

[@apara2005]

You didn't have heat damage, that happens over time. Your hair was just dirty from the heat protectant, and not washing your hair for a month. It was product build up. You could have save so much time if you just washed your hair 3x in the shower with a good clarifying shampoo 🤷🏾‍♀️. Advice from a chemist...next time. Glad your hair went back to normal!

[@apara2005]

@@Kelly-pp1et the natural community lives under a myth that washing your hair is bad. We put wayyy to much product on our hair (which is another myth us naturals think we have to do) that we need a good clarifying once in a while. If not, our hair will fall out.

[@LoXena]

@@apara2005 it's a myth to think the natural hair community think you should avoid to wash you hair. It's always "shampoo every weeks" or " shampoo every other weeks" . This myth was about people who used to flat iron or hot comb or to relax their hair. They avoid water in order to keep the hair straight. Same for people who use sew-ins weaves and wigs. They don't want to mess up the added hair by washing it too often. The amount of product used depends of the style you want to achieve. If it's a wash and go with very defined curls using only one product isn't enough. If I do that I just end up with a very dry mess. I already tried. If it's a twist out, it end up frizzy as hell if I don't seal it.

[@apara2005]

@@LoXena hello 👋🏾👋🏾. What i meant was we don't need to use half the bottle of conditioner to achieve moisture. We for sure need to multiple kinds of products (conditioner, sealant, etc) to keep out hair healthy. If one needs to use that much conditioner, then the conditioner is not the one for them. When it comes to gels, it definitely depends on what style you are tying to achieve. You're right. Some may need lots, while some may need a drop. When I said there's a myth about not washing hair for natural, I meant not washing with a shampoo. A co wash, Rinse, and clays aren't going to properly wash out product build up. One needs a shampoo. Sorry I wasn't clear. I hope this is better.

[@shadypalmtree2989]

Glad it came back. You didn't leave it on for long enough for it to matter, but if you do, I suggest doing the clay either before shampooing as a prepoo (especially if you use ACV instead of water) or right after shampooing and before conditioning/deep conditioning. Clay can really pull moisture from your hair and dry it out so a good deep condition after is really nice. This matters more if you leave it on for 20-60 mins, so just a heads up!

[@ihuomaariwa8282]

Yes, deep conditioning is suppose to be done last, to restore moisture that was stripped off with shampoo/clay. Her hair look better now than before tho..
