The No Direct Heat Pledge
If you are here you know that heat is damaging to your hair. After months or years of applying heat you noticed your hair just isn't the same anymore. You hair is experiencing breakage, split ends and loss of luster. But it seems like you are ready to make a change, and give your hair a second chance at life.
If You want your hair to flourish, follow the no direct heat pledge and reap the benefits of no direct heat... your hair will thank you.
Repeat after me:
- I promise to love my hair (natural, transitioning or relaxed wtc) by avoiding direct heat!
- I will not use a curling iron, flat iron or marcel (including pressing combs)
- I promise to protect my hair by utilizing protective styling techniques, so that I can reach my hair goals
Use this rule guide: If it can burn your skin.. it doesn't belong near your hair
There are some exceptions to the no direct heat pledge:
FAQ:
- What if I want to do a wash and go, how will my curls dry? Use a blow-dryer with diffuser attachment on cool.
- How do I deep condition my hair without using heat? You can still use heat to deep condition your hair. Invest in a hard top dryer with a conditioning cap under medium head for 10 minutes.
- Can I still achieve roller sets? Of course. You can simply airdry your hair. Or utilize a mixture of air drying and low heat under a hard top hair dryer.
I will be doing this challenge for my 6 month hair challenge. I will straighten my hair in June.
Benefits of no direct heat include:
- reduced chance of heat damage
- stronger healthier hair
- learning to take care of your hair without changing your texture
- retaining moisture
- moist happy hair
You don't want to grow your hair out by making hazardous shortcuts, that will not showcase your hard work. The reality is that heat will hinder the health of your hair.
