Use 1 Buy 1 Challenge pt.5

[flyygirlll2]

@Beamodel I did blow dry it but I used the tension method. I didn't even bother taking a picture of that mess. In August I flat ironed as well , but my hair poofed up even as I was ironing. This pic was taken after I was done in August. At that time I did use the blow dry attachment and less product.

@flyygirlll2

Your Hair looks lovely!

I think next time Imma try it with the Comb Attachment and see if I have 'more control'.

My technique was a bit awkward, holding the blow-dryer in one hand and the brush in the other.

I need practice.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair Thanks. Girl, I cannot get that silky straight look to save my life lol. I'm
Not good with using a brush either. I attempted to before and ended up putting it away after the first 10 minutes.

@flyygirlll2

I think you did a great job......

I bought that 'Hands Free' stand last night (on-line), but I think I am going to also try the comb attachment next time.

 

[Beamodel]

@Beamodel

Your results gave me life!

@IDareT'sHair

Thank you darling. I'm trying to figure my life out with this half natural half relaxed life.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

That's what I'm thinking
Every two weeks or so.

@Beamodel

Then on that off week, I'll be building things up with DC'ing Treatments etc.

That's a great idea

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair the comb attachment is great for stretching the hair. I have both the Kiss Handless blow dryer and the CHI touch screen blow dryer. Surprisingly I'm always reaching for the handless one since it has the cold shot botton.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

That's a great idea

@Beamodel

Yeah, especially since I am in that 'experimental' stage, I need to make sure I have plenty of strength and not cause any kind of damage or set-backs.

@flyygirlll2

My Blow-Fryer has a Comb Attachment and I bought a KISS Universal one too.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@Beamodel thanks hun. Your hair is beautiful. Nowadays I wish it wasn't as dense as it is because everything takes so much more time. I'm contemplating getting some braids or something because I need a break from this hair.

@Beamodel It looks good to me too @flyygirlll2

I love braids. I took mines out about a month ago but I'm ready for more. It's simple and easy.

@Beamodel @flyygirlll2

If I start using blow dry crèmes, serums etc... on the regular I will have to clarify, because of the 'cones'.

I know that Joico Silk Results had several cones. And so do the other blow dry/smoothing crèmes I currently have.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair i really love the Kiss blow dryer. It's less annoying to work with compared to the regular ones IMO. I spent a lot on the CHI too smh but I hardly use it.

Yes, and I hate cones too but I don't think k there is any other way around them and a heat protectant.

I have APB Blow dry cream which does not have any comes in it. I might try it on my next blow out/silk press.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@Beamodel I've never had braids before so it would be a first. My hair is always in a protective style now wearing twists and pinning it into a bun.

I bet you will look great with them too. Do you know which kind you would like?

My last ones I had installed micros but this upcoming time, I will install box braids again.

Yeah, I don't think there is any other way around it either.

I do want to try APB's Blow Dry Crème.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair I have a love/hate relationship with cones, but as @Beamodel said they're typically found in many heat protectants since it coats the hair as a barrier against heat.

I've been looking into getting the APB blow dry cream too @Beamodel. Maybe for BF I may buy it. I have soooooo many heat protectants already though. So much so, you would think I flat iron 24/7 365 lol

 

[flyygirlll2]

@Beamodel I like the look of Senegalese twist.

@flyygirlll2

Yeah. I know.

Maybe on the weeks I decide to Blow-fry, I'll pull out my little stash of Garnier Fructis and use that, since it is also full of cones!

And just be a Cone-Head on the weeks I Blow-Dry.

That is 1 thing I can't say that I have is a lot of.... Heat-Protectants.

Finally, there is something I don't have 50-11 of.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair LOL @cone head. I think that's a good plan to just use them on the weeks you decide to blow dry. I told myself I was going to go on a mini no heat challenge after last month's flat iron fail.

My birthday is next month and I think I might just do a flexi rod set instead.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@flyygirlll2

If I do decide to use heat bi-monthly (or monthly) I will definitely be upping my Moisture, Protein and Clarifying game in my current regimen.

 

[flyygirlll2]

@IDareT'sHair Sounds like a good plan. I've used heat a lot this year. I've avoided heat damage by making sure my hair was very well conditioned before applying heat; keeping the heat on a moderate temperature, using a good heat protectant, and doing protein treatments.

My hair is resistant though, so I've decided not to beat it into submission if you will with too much heat. I keep the temp on 365-370 degrees at this point. A month ago, Don'tSpeakdefeat who's a member here and was trained by Reneice showed how she washed and flat ironed a client's hair on Periscope ( it's from Twitter I believe, and you can follow people who post live videos).

The client's hair was natural and her hair came out so sleek and lush. I asked her for tips on what temp to use for my hair since it's coarse and never gets sleek. She said I can do 410 at least and to go light on products.

Sorry this was a long arse post lol.

 

[Golden75]

@Golden75

Thanks G! I looked it up on Ulta (and read some of the Q&A) It's more of a strengthener.

The CHI Silk Infusion is the Heat Protectant.

I may try it for an extra barrier before Blow-Frying.

@IDareT'sHair Yea i wanted those barriers too: mixed in a dc with cones, sebastian 9, keracare HP, L'anza serum. She is not playing!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Golden75 @flyygirlll2

I just came out of Hattache making a mock BF Cart. A lot of the stuff I wanted was OOS.

I hope they get restocked well before BF.

I wanted to compare getting stuff from Hattache as oppose to getting it from individual vendors and paying all that individual shipping.

Honestly, (and we're keeping it 100 here) I don't need a thang.

Wonder if I'll get any QB from Sephora? QB still sells stuff on their site don't they?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Golden75 @flyygirlll2

I'm in another thread where someone said their BRB Spoiled.

Even though mine is in the Fridge, I still need to get to it.

But I already know that's going to be a while. *crosses fangas*

Hopefully, I don't have any issues with any of it.

Hello ladies! Nothing new with me trying not to buy products so I guess coming in here is not good. I'm a PJ so nothing going to stop that I'm just not buying much. @IDareT'sHair you got to have a beauty supply store by now you keep stuff for years, anyone that still has Jasmine products. . That Chi Mist is like aphogee green tea think I gift that to you but I think it's a stronger leave in for relax hair. I've been looking for Shea moisture deep shampoo for the scale but can't find it on the ground but ORS aloe clarifying shampoo made my scalp feel good so I'm not going to ban wagoner on exfoliation stuff mine feels good. I'm fighting the gray hairs, which I could use henna for those that don't know I had bad reaction to indigo loss lots of hair so I'm staying far away.
