Would you say an ice cube is damaged water or that heated shea butter or oil is damaged. You can use a physical property like heat to temporarily re-arrange a chemical structure. Ex. Shea butter is usually solid a room temperature. If you heat it it turns to a soft butter use more heat and it turns into an oil. If you cool it the shea butter returns to its solid form.
However, if you use an extreme of a physical property ex. fire then the structure may be totally damaged or destroyed(none of the former characteristics are present=burnt). Ex. the shea butter is heated to point of being scorched so it is now none of the physical properties of the shea butter remain. So the key to thermal restructuring is to control the amount of heat so as not the permanently burn the hair.There may be some flaws in my example but I hope you get the gist of what I wrote.
I guess I dont understand. Did Brittany want the OP to do this? She usually is very good about speaking for herself.
Do what's best for your hair. There is not one method that will work for everyone.
The OP (me) would like to know what you mean by "this"?
I sent a mail to Brittany (the one on the first page), I waited for a response, I waited she talks about this idea first on her channel, then I opened this thread.
So if "this" means "open a thread about heat training", she wasn't against...
If you watch Brittany's channel she does suggest lower temperatures and fewer passes for fine hair. She only does her new growth with more than 2 passes and then may use one pass on the heat trained hair.
First error: I've assumed that everybody would did some research on her method. (as you did)
When I read about a new product on LHCF, Nappturality or BHM, I don't try it or I don't bash it until I read the ingredients.
Until I understood How it works.
Same for hair care technique (baggying, steaming, banding...)
Same for member hair recipe.
I may be stupid but I never read about someone who thought to heat train as she does:
Here is some informations that her book will contain:
"BOOK WILL INCLUDE:
EASY TO FOLLOW HEAT TRAINING GUIDE
To help determine your proper temperature and passes
PROPER CARE OF HEAT TRAINED HAIR
A suggested hair care routine for proper maintenance and maximum potential
ADVANCED TECHNIQUES
Learn to go months between training sessions and get the final results in 1 session
AND MUCH MORE!!!!"
Sorry I should have say: Warning marketing content
A process ( to minimize the risks, like "wash your hair in braids to minimize tangles" for the natural ladies or "mix relaxer with oil or protein conditioner to buy time and avoid burning or over processing" for the relaxed one ), care for heat processed hair, and something that look like stretching lol
She is the first one to have developped a technique, a regimen for heat training, so it's new.
Second error:
I should have say "let's find a name for the Brittany's way to heat train"
Third error:
I should have ask only to the heat trainers or people interested by her method.
But I hate sectarianism, it produces close minded people with an injustified high opinion of themselves.
erplexed? A Brittany follower should really chime in on this for ya.....
