This is just something I have to get off my chest...
I am a natural, but I blow dry (and usually flat iron) every time I wash. I'm guessing that counts as "heat trained" BUT
I've noticed that there is a lot of controversy surrounding "heat training" (although I think "heat usage" is a better term). It seems that the general opinion is that "heat TRAINING" is code for "heat DAMAGE".
I've been seeing the pitchforks come out on this method more so than for any other method, including low manipulation (which for some causes tangles), texlaxing, relaxing, infrequent washing etc.
IMO I really don't see a problem with any type of hair care method. If it works for you then "whatever is clever"
But I just can't get over the fact that heat training seems to be the ugly stepsister of all haircare methods. What are your thought ladies?
