OMG what is your first thought, reaction, facial expression when you watch this.

My eyes bulged and I was about to cry. No wonder her hair is thin.

Ladies do not, I mean do not follow this video-IMO.

This is what is out on the net. Piece of advice stick with LHCF for all hair care needs.

 

[bambieg]

LOL. That was pretty aweful!

 

[LondonDiva]

UM Hell and NO were 2 words that came to mind.

This is why I do my own hair. if you're own head is jacked up what makes you think mine will look any better.

Oil as a protectant???

Yeah just literally frying the hair is what she's doing.

 

[ajacks]

How dreadful!! I'll have to pass on that technique. That was way to many passes over the already straightened sections and heck no to the hairspray. And the model just sat there grinning, like she knew her hair looked good

 

[tyrablu]

umm.no.thank.you :no:

 

[diligence]

OMG, had her hair been washed? It looked lifeless and damaged. After all that heat, it looked the same as when she started...poor thing!

 

[Mimi22]

LoL I saw this video like 2 years ago!!
I cant believe they still havent removed it!!

 

[Nya33]

Her hair was really straight already!!!!
I remember doing stuff like that, as i wanted pin straight hair, then ended up with no hair!

 

[BostonMaria]

The technique itself wasn't bad... but that girl has see-through hair. As someone commented, its a hot mess. They obviously blow dried her hair first, which they didn't mention.

 

[matuncks]

Just watching that brought back so many painful memories of what I and hair stylists were doing wrong with my hair and being so disappointed with its unhealthy state. I may not have the length that I expected after starting this journey almost 4 years ago, but it is so much healthier and I enjoy my hair now.

Never again!

 

[SmartyPants]

Um.... someone explain to me when coconut oil became a heat protectant?!

 

[Solitude]

It wasn't that bad, IMO.

 

[loulou82]

uuuhhhhh... her hair didn't looked washed. The before and after were basically the same. And I feel this "coconut oil as heat protectant" needs to be discussed because if that's true I could save a lot of money.

 

[_belle]

@ her hair line. . . this is a tragedy. no seriously. . . it looks the same as it did before. . .

 

[malachi74]

her hair looked dirty an stringy aand ughhh I cannot believe the two of them were cheesing like that as if a good job was done. yucky.

 

[STLCoverGirl]

her hair looked dirty an stringy aand ughhh I cannot believe the two of them were cheesing like that as if a good job was done. yucky.

Me too, I was like huh?? I don't know why she was passing through her hair soo many times with the iron either.

 

[Toy]

Just bad bizness.

 

[The Princess]

There was to many passes for me.

 

[locabouthair]

she went over too many times and her hair didnt look like she needed the flat iron anyway.

her hair wasnt very thick but I dont think it looked that bad.

 

[asubeauty]

That was just way to many passes on hair that didn't look freshly washed. I couldn't see the end result because the video was bootleg and stopped about 2/3 of the way through.

 

[CheLala13]

What makes me laugh is how it's called how to straighten Afro hair that's been relaxed and the "technique" is no different than how you would straighten anyone else's hair.

And she needs to stop cheesing at the end of that video. I feel really bad for her. No real difference in the before and after.

 

[Muse]

They probably used too much oil frying her hair, WAY too many passes and her hair is already relaxed so it's in a slightly weakened state already. Add excessive heat and too much oil to already relaxed hair and you get...well you get her hair!

 

[Everything Zen]

erplexed Way too much product on what appears to be unwashed hair. As others have said oil is not a heat protectant. The passes weren't too bad (if you only did it every once in a blue moon) but her hair didn't look any straighter than it was in the first place.

 

[Muse]

^^^Do you listen to Bush(the band)? I say that because of your name and the sentence beneath that.

 

[vestaluv1]

The first thing that came to my head...

"Why the hell ya'll grinning so much".

The second thing that came to my head...

"WHAT THE "

I have seen this vid before and the sad thing is that this is not the only one that promotes bad hair care for afro/relaxed hair .

So many hairdressers have, and still have these bad practises where they don't use proper heat protectants and over use the darn flat iron or marcel iron in one area, frying the hair.
She's gonna need a trim.

I'm just hoping they didn't do more than one take of this video that day... once was bad enough.

I'm so glad that I now know better and have a good stylist.

 

[HoneyDew]

Her hair is already straight.

What she needs is a cleanse and deep conditioning session.

After that, we can talk.

 

[diamond42377]

Her hair was horribly damaged and the after style was just awful. Definitely not worth flat ironing at all. It bothers me that they look so happy at the end.

 

[Lebiya]

ok besides the heat potectant part, what did she do wrong??

someone pls tell me what I'm doing wrong:

use low set heat

apply heat protectant

straighten

...am I missing something?

 

[drjo91]

I seen that video before a while AGO, i just hope that people that do not know about hair care go and do the same thing they did to that girl. Her hair was thin and very damaged and before flat ironing her hair she put an oil to it...that WILL FRY HER HAIR.

 

[RockCreak]

OOOOOOHHHHHH!

She fried, then refried her hair.

I'm soooo MAD at her!
