Straightened Hair Despite Nerves (PICS OF COURSE!!)

[Whimsy]

So I sucked it up and straightened my hair, despite all the scaredycat ish I was talking HERE.

I used coconut oil and maxiglide....

More pix can be seen on my bloggypoo, but here are the highlights

Starting point - washed/dc/toweldried hair

Midway length check:

Finally done:

Now I'm just being extra, swingin my head around:

I'm so happy with it. I just pray I didn't do any further damage to the already damaged front bits.

OP, you're way less scared of heat than me. When I was flat-ironing my hair, I took three steps I've never taken before in the name of protecting my hair. Not only did I start the thermal protection at conditioning level, but I used two heat protectants during the flat-ironing process. I've heard of folks doing what you did. But that to me is BRAVE!

Your hair looks pretty and shiny and long.

 

[KinkyGenius]

Goooooooooooorgeous!!

 

[kblc06]

Your hair grows so incredibly fast and beautifully, I might add! Is your diet and water intake just amazing or do you have fast growth no matter what?

 

[BostonMaria]

I knew you could do it!!! Gorgeous!!!! Love that swang!

BTW are you claiming WSL yet? Because if you're not, you need to!

 

[caligirl2385]

I know, it sounds wreckless lol It's what has always worked for me. I bought some heat protectant but it just didn't make my hair feel right... i dunno ::shrug::

I do eat generally healthily i think, the water, i'm really trying to kick that up a notch. It really grows about 1/2 inch a month though. I'm just trying to retain it better.
