Yeah, I saw the thumbnail too....and that's what shocked me. So then I had to click on the video to watch it. She must have had a feeling that people were going to come for her because near the end of the video she said something like "don't come for me in the comments....leave me a comment, but keep it cute."
I think she can do and pull off any look. She definitely has the face and personality for it. I also wonder why she didn't just do another set of locks but maybe try a different method since she claimed she was so unhappy with her first set.
I am starting to see more videos crop up suggesting that naturals lock their hair instead of going to relaxers, so it's interesting that you said you see more videos of naturals relaxing their hair again.
I wish I had just started my locks about 4 years ago and not went back to relaxing (it was more like a texturizer because when I washed my hair my hair was not bone straight, it was just a looser curl pattern.) I just wore my hair with the looser curl pattern and only had it straight twice the whole time. But in July 2015 I big chopped again so it wasn't a long time. Almost a year and a half.
At any rate, I'm on this lock journey until the wheels fall off this time, come hell or high water! I was just daydreaming about how my locks will look when I hit certain ages, like 40, 50 and 60. When I was 38 I began thinking about how I wanted to have locks below my butt by the time I was 40. Obviously, I won't be able to meet that goal by then, but I will get there. It's just a matter of when. I am claiming it!
I think that's what I would do. 
it and cut the rest of the heat damage off.
