Hello everyone this is Breanna Rutter author
of one of my most popular books the natural
hair Bible and founder of howtoblackhair.com
for these videos I answer the questions that
you all send me via email so any of you have
any questions you like for me to answer be
sure to check out the description box below
for additional information this video is because
of an email I received Enoli and she goes
on to say that she constantly have to straighten
her leave out to blend with her extension
the issue is she would rather must just have
a curly weave instead she doesn't know how
to blend her hair without using too much heat
so I'm going to give you some advice tips
and tricks whole lot of things to help you
to do what's best for your hair and to give
you the look that you actually want so just
to be sure when you are using heat you got
to make sure that your protecting your hair
by on first have been your hair with a deep
conditioning treatment or protein treatment
and then you also have to make sure that using
some form of heat protectant on your hair
that you stay within a safe temperature range
between 300 to 350° you can use an oil to
actually serve as your natural heat protectant
if you want such as are the olive oil or grapeseed
oil and sometimes olive oil will depending
on your hair not to be going with his higher
than 350 which I don't suggest for most for
most cases but if you do you have to use it
more of a stronger type of he protected that
can be filled with polymers and silicones
and things like that so now my second tip
is that is time for you to start where some
curly weave how are you want to keep blending
your straight hair or straightening your hair
with your straight weaves when that is really
not the look that you want so you got out
opt for extensions is going to actually mimic
the curl pattern of your hair so a great way
to do that is to visit your local beauty supply
store check out the selections of hair extensions
that are there to see what matches best with
yours and also look online for somethings
that you think would give you what's best
for your specific texture and curl type now
my last tip is that you can also work with
any weave that's available to you or any extensions
that you can purchase given the budget you
have and also your options as far as what
you actually can buy now try to get as close
to your curls as possible if you can you can
only buy the way the extensions that's a lot
better than applying that much heat to your
hair and in order to mimic your choice of
extensions with your hair a safer route you
can use some actual perm rods or flexi rods
and things like that to help you to get a
circle pattern now the wider that you go up
towards the size of your barrel of your on
perm rods and things like that will actually
enable you to have more of a wavy effect to
your hair if you curl with a perm rod set
no way for instance you use a 3 to 5 inch
in diameter perm rod set that depending on
your hair and on how well your hair is set
with those perm rods when you unravel them
and comb them through or brush then through
very softly you will actually start to see
your waves form so start and just go ahead
and start with those alternatives to see what
is best for you so I want to thank you for
your email and also want to thank everyone
for watching I know a lot of you will go away
with a lot of tips and things because you
dont always have to put heat on your hair
every day to preserve a straight look you
can use the largest barrel of the largest
circumference of a perm rod to set your leave
out at night and then unravel them and smooth
out your hair so that way you don’t have
to use heat too often so thanks for your email
