Flat Iron Question (No Part In Hair)

[Tinkerbell19]

Hey ladies,

I have a question for those that flatiron and do not wear a part. My favorite style is a part down the middle. I have not worn my hair flat ironed in 7 mths and I want to do it next wk. My question is, I wear elasta qp mango butter on my hair (edges) everyday. I do not think mango butter would be good to wear on my edges/baby hair everyday if its straight because after a few days it will get kinda stiff. What do you all wear on your edges that leaves you hair soft and easy to wrap at night that is not greasy, hard etc? I am a teacher and certain activities with my students make me sweat if I have my hair in my face. I am also a runner and I want to be able to still exercise without messing up my hair.

thank you in advance for any suggestions!

no i like my hair in my face :heart2:which is why the middle part is my favorite but it makes me sweat at work and when i work out. now would chi silk be the same as a serum?

try Motions shine pomade or really any pomade.
use just a little, otherwise it gets greasy, brush lightly, and tie a scarf down. it lays those edges down for me when my hair is flat-ironed.

Oh, ok, I get it...yes chi silk is a serum ...I prefer serums as they do not weigh the hair down or cause the hard effect like u mentioned.

do you have to reapply it everyday? and if you do, doesnt it get greasy?

i guess i want something with just alittle more hold but not that sticky hard feeling and i think the serum will make my hair greasy because my hair soaks in oils so i have to be careful with them or i will look like a slicked down cat! lol

if you sweat, you probably will have to. however, it doesn't seem to get greasy no matter how much i put on. i really like this stuff.
