My wash days have changed….

“Now I’m so scared” this is too real 😭 I’m so scared to use heat since going natural

The length retention on stretched hair is crazy, stretched hair grows so fast. Made me think about becoming a blow dry natural 😩

I noticed the people wear who their natural hair often, their hair tends to grow out more compared to those I barely see wear their natural hair.

Girl, I’m scared, too. I had just gotten comfortable with the idea of using a high smoke point oil as a protectant when the conversation changed to blow dry creams…and then to no product at all😭 Now I don’t know what to do.

i’ve blow dried my hair every wash day my entire life and have yet to get heat damage. there has been several times when i’ll wash & blow dry once a week consistently. i will say that my hair felt dry so i do take breaks. and i also leave my hair alone when it is in protective styles so those are breaks from heat as well.

You're right to throw everything at it, but I don't know if you've had a professional al blow dry where your hair is near bone straight after? That's really the type of blow dry that is super damaging. The concentrator nozzles etc make it like a little blow torch

I dont know why wash days are not the same for me anymore. I used to look forward to wash days at the beginning of my natural hair journey, which was 10 plus years ago. But now I can barely find the motivation at times to wash my hair. Funny enough, my wash days involve fewer steps now than it did then.

SAME, I Have Been Nervous To Put Any Head Towards My Hair

The wash day regime should be different when applying heat. I'm a lazy natural, I want wash day to be as short as possible. I don't deep condition unless I plan on blow drying or straightening my hair. I'd even just shampoo twice and skip regular rinse out conditioner and go straight into using a leave in and grease. My hair took a while to dry though, if you hair doesn't air dry within 3 hours you might want to incorporate low heat into your hair regimen.

I blow out my hair at the salon about once every 4-5 weeks after they shampoo my hair. Should I be looking into heat protectant products? Is that what the K18 brand products are for?

Like blow drying as in a blow out or blow drying as in just drying ur hair after a wash?
