We were wondering what Tiffany Haddish’s natural hair would look like without extensions, so we looked online.
So we looked online. We found videos of Tiffany Haddish’s hair going from blow dry into lace extensions. Yes, long to watch, but she talks the whole time — monologue mixed with life advice.
REAL TALK FROM THE CHAIR: Tiffany Haddish warns against wasting your life on “Who bit Beyonce” stuff. Care about the real people in your life, not celebs. Focus on what matters, like helping your kids with their reading, etc.
Anyway, back to her hair.
BEST PART: WHEN SHE LOVES ON HER HAIR
For us, the most compelling footage is her joyous reaction to the blow dry. It’s 100% her own hair blown out, no extensions, and SHE LOVES IT! (@2:43 of the first video)
Watching her toss it around, visibly transformed by the movement. the length — that moment when . She’d proudly wear this to Walmart. We admit we’re emotional but the scene melted us.
All she wanted to change was to make it longer. And instantly we thought, “KERATIN TREATMENT!”
GROW LONGER HAIR WITH A KERATIN TREATMENT
Nothing grows hair longer than a keratin treatment — because nothing else structurally strengthens hair the way like keratin.
Uncurly attaches a strengthening, restorative coating to individual hair molecules, linking them together for longer strands than ever before possible. Again and again clients claim Uncurly made their hair grow faster, but what it’s really done is eliminate breakage so they retain growth that was already happening.
THE CASE AGAINST EXTENSIONS
Extensions are everywhere. They seem like an easy solution to getting longer, fuller hair, but they bring their own set of serious drawbacks.
- Thinning hair from breakage and traction alopecia. If you’re using extensions often (wigs or tight braids, too), repeated stress on the hair causes breakage, particularly in Types 3 and 4 hair. And repeated stress on the scalp can lead to traction alopecia. Doris Day, MD, a professor of dermatology at New York University specializing in hair loss says, “Traction alopecia is caused by anything that pulls on the hair, ultimately damaging the root and can lead to scarring and permanent hair loss.”
- Expense and maintenance headaches. We hear other complaints about life with extensions, such as this email: “Extensions are a pain in the butt. Maintaining them is a pain in the butt, getting them out is a pain in the butt, living with them is a pain in the butt, paying for them is a pain in the butt – and they always look like what they are.” Or this email about all the maintenance: “I’ve had hair extensions many times and the more I’ve had them done, the more I’ve looked after them. They need sooo much looking after, especially if they’re a lot longer than your actual hair. They must be washed thoroughly and regularly and brushed regularly too. When I got my first set done I didn’t realize how much care and attention they needed. A few of mine bunched up and I had to go in and get them tweaked.”
So no, we’re not really fans of extensions. Instead, we believe in using keratin treatments on natural hair so it can grow long and style easily.
KERATIN CAN MAKE EXTENSIONS UNNECESSARY
Tiffany Haddish’s natural hair appears to be a mix of 3C and 4A with good volume. A keratin treatment could dramatically lengthen Tiffany Haddish’s natural hair in ways that could make her quit extensions altogether.
Here’s a list of hair wishes Tiffany Haddish expressed throughout the video, and the ways keratin can make them happen:
- She wanted more length. Keratin applies a protective coating that eliminates breakage, letting hair grow much longer than before and edges to grow in fuller.
- Smoothness and motion. Keratin fills in the rough gaps in the cuticle, letting hair flow freely without tangling and giving a smoother look.
- Fast stretching/straightening = fast blow drying. Drying and styling time cut in half — the hallmark of a keratin treatment.
- Fast air drying into a looser curl. Keratin is great for curls. It gives a gorgeous, quick-dry wash and go with a loosened curl pattern.
- Fast drying, easy manageability. Keratin minimizes water retention, making hair air dry or blow dries in half the regular time. Or less.
- No shrinkage, frizz, or pouf in humidity and sweat. Frizz-free forever, both curly and straight styles. Styles stay without shrinkage or pouf.
- Like-new conditioning. Skip the big chop? Keratin restores heat and relaxer damage to like-new strength and feel, making it possible to transition without a big chop.
KERATIN TREATMENTS ARE A GREAT OPTION FOR QUITTING OR MINIMIZING EXTENSIONS
