I'Ve absolutely burnt my neck and someone thought it was a hickey muj. We can't win hi, I'm Michele we're here today to do our hair using our hot tools, I'm Spencer. This is my curling wand. My I guess. Weapon of choice is my handy curling iron hi. My name is Jana. I use this t3 hair curling iron - I don't know wonderful. My name is Julie and I've been using this literally Hot Tools, hot tool, one and a quarter inch curling iron. I definitely burn myself more than 50 times with this Madeline. You know she gets the job done, so that's all. I can really ask me: the curling iron will spend like a good 30 minutes together, at least so since I have a lot of hair, I try and section it off I'll, like pin my hair up. Like half of my hair and then like curl, the bottom did I find this hair clip somewhere now, I'm using it absolutely struggle is real women curling our hair is seriously fast, okay, so here's what's gon na happen. Oh you're curling, your hair, you're ruining your hair. Hot irons have been used to curl hair since ancient times. Excavations of Egyptian tombs have revealed devices that may have been used to curl hair. Wait. What what kind of devices interesting like sticks servant? Please heat up these irons. I need to curl my hair there's a lack of scientific research on exactly how heat damages hair and at what temperatures at different levels of damage can be done. Interesting so they're just telling us that we can't curl our hair at certain temperatures, but where are the facts because he styling tools have been around for so long? It'S like I'm trying to lower this. I don't even know how to lower this. Can I tell you something mine's at 374 right now and that's actually like lower than I usually do, because you were like I'm so sorry, I'm at 3:30 and I was like I'll turn it down one that a study conducted in 1984 found that using heat above 140 Celsius, 140 Celsius, 284 degrees Fahrenheit. The dry hair can cause permanent structural damage. But what are we supposed to believe now? Wait. Wasn'T there a fact that said they don't know yet what, but now this is saying that there was a study conducted in 84. Ok, here's the thing I don't want my hair to fall out, but uh. You know, professor and researcher, to here. A read specifically noticed that the limited research available did not focus on how heat effects curly, hair and black hair in particular, and that textbooks typically over generalized hair types. She and her team have set out to conduct research focused on finding the temperature at which curly hair becomes permanently structurally damaged, so that hasn't actually been found out. Yet we just noticed this now that there's, like only one type of hair bang study, that's kind of crazy. Until late twentieth century electric tools came on the market, heating, curling and crimping irons involved a lot of guesswork which often led to singeing and losing hair. I believe that, just like we saw in that video youtuber girl there weren't enough tutorials, she was curling your hair and then literally that whole. Like piece of that here, like burned off, she tried to make the door according to dermatologist, dr. Carolyn, Jacob curling, irons and straight irons, caused more damage than blow dryers and shouldn't be used for more than three or four seconds per section of hair. No actually count to eight second days, yeah cuz, I'm like guy I'm out here, counting to like 20, what girl ding. I was ruining my hair. Our hair is done. We'Re out here we're looking good you've learned today: heat, probably not the best for your hair. The temperature was like 284 C. 300 seems like like a good barometer, so maybe 300 or less less or the better right yeah. He in general can be very damaging to your hair, but at the same time we want to look good. We want to, like you know, use these tools to like just amplify like what we already have and make it just look better all tools, although they do style like saloon. Similarly, they are not the same. Cuz like this doesn't even have like there's no temperature, there's yeah, there's no temperature we're damaging our hair. It is that gon na change what I do with it probably die but uh. You know good to know great good to know the more you know, but I'm also gon na keep curling my hair, I'm still confused as to what a dermatologist has to do with my hair, but I guess it grows from my scalp. So three four! Oh that's! Not gon na stay I'll tell you that right now you
Comments
no: Facts: haha heat ruins your hair These girls: ok and
Lea: The struggle is even more real when you have *thick* hair
KannibalCat: I’m a hairdresser, if you’re using heat correctly, the damage is minimal and you don’t have to worry.
Christopher Yoeurng: 4:21 *"300 seems like a good barometer"* Honey, barometers measure air pressure
Sammie Wied: I can’t even curl my hair, I’m so bad. Also I’m too scared that I’m going to burn myself.
Cool Feet: I never curl my hair bc I have so much that it takes FOREVER and it falls out in LITERALLY 5 minutes
Pourya Bigonah: Next time my gal uses a curling iron, I’m gonna spew so many facts that I just «randomly» have in my head.
Emily Mayo: I used to have really curly hair, a year ago i decided to start straining it like 5 times, now im still trying to recover from the damage, my hair is kind of wavy still, after a lot of deep conditioning and everything my hair haven’t went back to normal. Im never using heat again
lol: ‘i HaVe A lOt Of HaIr’ LOLLLLL **laughs in 2ft long thick hair**
Skarlet Marrero: Am I the only one who uses a straight iron to curl hair? LMAO
Britney Astorga: I’m over here counting up to 30 when curling my hair
LG Hakubi: Fascinating. I knew thinner/straighter hair wouldn't need that high a temperature as black hair but I did think it would be more of a quicker turn around. I mean it was in comparison to my own (one hour) but 4 second per curl sounded plausible to me
poptartgenuis Ruiz: I used to straighten my hair all the time because people kept telling me it would look better more straight. As a biracial, African-American/Hispanic, my hair was more so curly with a slight fluffyness than traditional African hair properties. I kept straightening my hair until I was 18 and decided to go natural. Problem is that since all those years of straightening my hair its natural texture is now much straighter. My hair is more loose curly without its fluffy thickness. I KILLED MY HAIR!!! Its not at all like it used to be before I started straightening it. I've cut it short and I'm never using a straightener again.
Natalee Denlinger: “i have a lot of hair” ok let’s not get too crazy here
Betsy Jay: Spenser: "EIGHT?!?!?! I'm out here counting till like....20!" Girl....same.
CherryCola: “I’ve burnt myself and someone totally thought it was a hickey.” *6th grader voice* “UHhHh wHo’D yOu mAkEoUt wItH”
Rebeca llanes: Damn this brought back memories i used to have super bad heat damage because i had straightened my hair for like 5-6 years and its been 2 years since ive straightened it and 2 haircuts later and its so much healthier
IntrovertGoneAWOL: Oof. Those researchers would cringe at my previous styling habits my hair is naturally -CURLY- so when everyone was doing beachy waves and loose curls that I wanted, I blowdried, straightened, and THEN curled my hair.
Sugar Skulls: Low key we should do a live webcam altogether while doing makeup or hair. It sounds so plain but it’s... fun!
stairwy 2heven: I used to straighten my hair so much in middle school I think I actually did permanently damage the structure. My hair is not as curly as it used to be
Aelin Luna: My hair won't hold a curl for more than 20 mins. Thoughts and prayers during this difficult time please.
Sarah Espinosa: I'm a hairdresser! Use a heat protection product on your hair every time before heat styling!!! (They usually protect up to 400°)
Horses by Hulachowdown: I definte;y burned my forehead once in junior high, I want curly bangs and I got them. THANK GOD it covered the massive burn I had on my face for like 2 weeks. It started bleeding in class so I had to get a bandaid from the nurse.... she gave me the brightest neon plaster on earth( I swear it was intentional) so that was great. The worst part is I naturally had a super bright birthmark right where I burnt it, now there is just kind of a patch of rough skin there now that the birth mark had faded. Looks like I had a giant cyst pimple that is still healing.
Kristina Cruz: Omg I can totally relate to Spenser! I burned my neck with my curling iron and for like 3 days people thought I had a hickey

Yours Truly, Mia: I love that there was a fact about curly/black hair included. But would have loved to see a person of color included, As/Is.
Oof: I stopped using heat to do my hair and my hair is actually better natural. My hair used to be frizzy and nappy. If I want my hair to be curly I can braid it. If I want it to be straight I will use a round brush to flatten it out.
Matthew Wilson: Who the heck said you have to curl your hair? The struggle is real if you decide to put yourself through that crap
Nelly •: I have natural “princess curls” so I don’t have to use heat ☺️
evan emanuel: As a hair stylist.... I'm going to tell you this.. the temp. that should be the highest is 350 degrees ( it won't damage as much, and wouldn't cause color to fade) use a heat protectant
Rhianna M: The whole time while watching “I was like don’t forget the iron is on your hair “ Them talking *
