So the jury is still out.  Some natural hair fanatics swear it’s not possible to apply heat to your hair and straighten it without damaging your natural locks. They further contend that your hair will not revert back to its same kinky or curly self once you wet it again to wear it al naturale.

But others say it’s VERY possible to do this, if done right.

I’ve posted some videos below demonstrating that it’s possible.  These ladies show their natural hair first.  Then what it looks like straightened.  Then what it looks like when they go back natural from straight hair.  But more importantly, they discuss the PROCESS.  (I tried it, and it’s true.  I was able to revert back and have the same natural texture.)

If you know of other videos detailing this process, please add links to the comment section. I may eventually create a playlist if I get enough videos to compile. Thanks!
