This time, I wish to deal with a preconceived notion that’s prevalent significantly within the Black hair group: the concept there’s no such factor as warmth educated hair.

As a naturalista for a bit of over two years, I teetered between going again to perm (as a result of I liked my lengthy locks) and remaining pure (as a result of I additionally liked having massive hair). So, what have I been doing? Sew ins, with minimal pass over as of late. I believed it might break my coronary heart to use warmth to these strands however time and time once more, my curls returned. Albeit, a bit looser than the unique sample however nonetheless there and nonetheless wholesome.

The Marvel Girl who has satisfied me to use warmth is my hair stylist, Mica Calixte — the most effective haircare specialist I do know and the one individual (asides from my mother) who I’ll permit to model my hair.

I visited Hair By Mica, her stunning salon, as soon as once more yesterday for a styling session. I did the silk press for the primary time! Whereas in her chair, I used to be in a position to ask all of the questions I do know all of us ask. Like…

Hair by Mica: I washed your hair first with the Clarifiant shampoo. I gave it two rounds due to the oils. After which I did a re-moisturizing shampoo to place the moisture again. I completed off with moisturizing conditioner and I combed it out from finish to root. Then, I put Argan oil as a warmth protectant earlier than I blow-dry.

Afterwards, I’ll straighten it in order that I can get a exact reduce than it might be if it was curly or solely blowdried. Then I’ll return over it in massive sections with a slight bump to offer it extra quantity.

Hair by Mica: The wash and elegance was initially made for individuals who have relaxers. Some folks go get rollers, blow it out and elegance it. The silk press are for pure women to get their hair pressed out with out utilizing the new comb. As a substitute we use the beveler (flat iron), as a way to get the pure hair straight. It takes extra time than the wash and elegance being that generally it’s a must to spherical blow dry with the spherical brush prior, as a way to get it straight.

It’s a technique to acquire silky straight hair for the pure woman. The everyday curler set/doobie gained’t work for the pure woman. It is a approach to give them the glossy, shiny and flowy hair that they need with out all that.

Hair by Mica: Than the new comb? Positively. With the beveler, you’ll be able to handle the warmth. However the sizzling comb can simply fry the hair as a result of you’ll be able to’t measure the warmth. Some salons use a 3rd product that transfers the warmth of the beveler to the core of the hair sooner. I exploit it for coarser textured hair.
