I was trying to straighten a My Little Pony’s hair and Google kept translating my results into German for some reason.

Heat Training-Part 1

What is heat training? The world of naturally curly hair can have its ups and down. From dealing with breakage, knots, and tangles, to countless hours standing in front of the mirror doing your hair, and not knowing what and what not products to use, it’s understandable why some women would give up on their curly hair altogether, and sometimes turn to a seemingly easier alternative, such as chemically straightening the hair using a relaxer. But what about the women who don’t want to use chemicals to straighten their hair? That’s where heat training comes in. The term “heat training” often carries a negative stigma around in the natural hair community, due to the fact that it means repeatedly putting heat on your hair typically in the form of a blowdryer and/or flat iron or hot comb in attempts to loosen your curl pattern. Some women with natural curly hair feel that using any type of heat on their strands will result in dry, brittle, broken off hair. That is not true. While the improper use of heat can damage and break your hair, using heat just one time will not harm it, if the hair is prepped properly. Also with heat training, there is a notion that if a black woman wants to wear her hair straight all the time, then she must hate herself and want to be white. That is also not true. Some women straighten their hair because they live a busy lifestyle, and simply do not have the time to spend hours in the mirror washing, combing, and de-tangling curly hair. Others simply enjoy the convenience of having less knots, tangles, and breakage that come while wearing straight hair, which is the good thing because less breakage equals longer hair. Lastly, some women choose to straighten their hair often because they may have been natural for some years, grew their hair out, but have so much shrinkage that they never see their true length. By stretching or straightening the hair, a woman can see how long her hair really is, and also check the ends of her hair for weathering and splits. Is heat training the same as heat damage?

When it comes to the subject of heat training in the natural hair community, there is often the debate of whether or not if there is any difference. Many stylists have their own opinion on what is considered heat damage, but one thing’s for certain: you can damage your hair with improper use of heat, just as too much manipulation can result in mechanical damage on natural hair. With that being said, in my personal opinion, heat training and heat damage are on two sides of the same coin. In my personal opinion, heat training is when you repeatedly use heat to alter your curl pattern into a looser form. When you straighten your hair, and then wash it after the number of days you’ve worn it straightened, the hair reverts back to a curly state, even if it might not be the original curl pattern it was before. Heat damage is when you straighten your hair, then wash it, and the hair remains straight and does not revert back at all; you may also have breakage, a burnt smell of the hair, and white nodules at the ends. Why do people heat train vs getting a relaxer?

Many women turn to heat training as a means to straighten their hair as opposed to getting a relaxer for a few reasons. One reason is that heat training can be healthier can getting a relaxer, due to some of the health reasons associated with the chemicals in the relaxer, such as reproductive harm/infertility, and high alkaline eating away at the follicles of the scalp, causing thinner and weaker hair, which may result in baldness altogether. Another reason is versatility. With a relaxer, your hair is permanently straight unless you cut it off and grow it back out. But with heat training the bonds are only temporarily broken, meaning that once you wash your hair you can easily go back and forth between curly and straight styles. A third reason, and this reason ties in with the first reason, is that heat trained hair can be healthier than relaxed hair. Using lye and strong chemicals can causing permanent weathering and damage to the hair follicles. With heat training the hair can grow out thicker, meaning that heat trained straight hair can be thicker and more voluminous than relaxed straight hair. Should you heat train?

If you want less knots, tangles, breakage, less hours in the mirror, more convenience within your busy life schedule, then heat training is for you. If you want to wear your hair straight often, but don’t want to use chemicals, then heat training is for you. If you don’t mind the possibility of your hair being in its original curl pattern anymore, then heat training is for you. Natural hair is beautiful, versatile, amazing, and unique, and nobody should feel ashamed with what they do to their hair and how they wear it. Stay tuned for part 2!
