i think it looks moreso damaged when straight...but i guess if you're natural your hair bonds are broken as if you were relaxed...so as damaged as relaxed hair? idk

She needs to trim about 3 inches of anorexic ends off. That's all I can see.

just got a press. grazing BSL. i will try to get another press in 2 weeks on the 12th. and then i'll be traveling and will do it myself. i like the girl who does my press bc she used to be natural so she ain't running from the naps 
thing is i want to take swimming lessons this winter so this whole heat training thing might now work for too long.

Question: My daughter is transitioning to natural. We just cut more relaxer yesterday and now only about an inch and an half of her BSL hair is relaxed. Once a month we wash, DC and blow dry. After each wash, her hair is sooooo tight and kinky like mine (except I'm locked and use no heat). But as soon as the blow dryer hits it, it loosens quickly and after about three passes, you can hardly tell where the line of demarcation is. Is that heat trained? We only do it once a month and then I protective style her hair (she plays a lot of volleyball). I do notice the roots kink up in a couple of days. She loves the look of very full kinky hair with twistouts, etc. but if we continue on this regimen, will her hair eventually not kink up? I know when she is older she will want her kinks. It seems like it's fine but some of you have mentioned you now have parts that won't curl/kink. |
with once a month--it will take years for her hair to be heat damaged. it might loosen to like a 3b/a but it should not loosed her curl completely as long as you do not use excessive heat

I wonder if it's only considered "heat damage" or self-hate if black women do it.
I never heard a fuss about monthly flat ironing for any other race, religion, etc. I had no idea weekly/monthly flat ironing would be so upsetting to people

white women flat iron their hair daily even when it's straight

no, overuse and misuse of heat on hair still equals heat damage, on all hair types
