Two Year Post Big Chop + Rice Water Update Q&A | Start-To-Finish Blowout, Trim & Silk Press

OMG! Watch what happens when I straighten, trim and curl my natural hair for the FIRST time in OVER a year! Open me for clickable time stamps. #PostBigChop #BigChopUpdate #SilkPressSlay #SilkPressForBeginners #RiceWaterUpdate ♡ Watch in HD 1080 | Details below♡ Hey guys! It's officially been TWO YEARS since my big chop! *slow claps* To celebrate the occasion, I'm straightening my hair for the first time in over 365 days. In this video I discuss my shampoo and protective styling routine; I blow dry, straighten, trim and curl my hair; I discuss the products I've been using; I do a Q&A about tips to help with hair health and growth retention. I also have a much needed rant about the qualifications of today's hairstylist (because truth is, I'M TIRED of the unprofessionalism). I share a little bit more about me and what I do for a living as a hairstylist and makeup artist is New York City. Be sure to scroll down to see the products used and products referenced in this video. This video is a bit longer than my usual BUT I'd love for you to watch it all the way through - if you're like nah, girl, I provide time stamps below. LOL I hope y'all enjoy this video because it took me FORVER to edit and I have over 100 pop ups to hopefully keep you entertained. Thanks for all of the support - it means the world to me!

Love, Janera 🌹
