Nope, not a BC!
(sawwry)
But I finally blow dried and flat ironed my hair all by myself. I am soooo proud of myself. I have stalked people's fotkis and they make it look soooooo easy, but ya'll, I am heat appliance challenged, so this is HUGE for me!
(thanks Allandra for answering my 50-11 questions)
I DC overnight with ORS, mixed with a little amla oil. Then I conditioned this morning. When I got out of the shower, I wrang my hair out (didn't use a towel) and just let it hang dry for a little bit (2nd pic). Then I used Elasta QP Oil Recovery on my scalp. I sectioned it in 4 parts and put a little lacio lacio on each section, Then I sprayed it with John Frieda's Heat protectant spray.
After running all around town this morning trying to find an attachment for my blow dryer (I don't know how I managed to have 2 dryers and NEVER use them; must have gotten them for about $5 or something from Big Lots and couldn't refuse it). When it was apparent that I couldn't find an attachment to fit, I concluded that the dryer with the pic attachment wouldn't be the best choice for me anyway; I had to have something that was ergonomically friendly
, so I figured that blow dryer with the attachment that looked like a comb would be better anyway.
Anywho, it took me 45 minutes to blow dry and 45 minutes to flat iron. (I used my Maxiglide) There are still a few waves in the top but they will straighten out either when I wrap it or moisturize and use the flexirods. I didn't want to keep going back over it with the flat iron.
I was really proud of myself b/c I thought I was going to have to pack lunch and dinner to take upstairs with me, since I didn't think I would be coming back down any time soon I am going to moisturize it really well tonight and use my big jumbo flexi rods; the last time I had some of the relaxed ends clipped off was in January....I may go back this week to get some more clipped. The self imposed layers I tried in oct. or nov. of last year are really bugging me.
(O.K. I am coming back to resize these pics before my thread gets deleted; I didn't realize they were so large even though I edited them in photobucket to thumbnail size
)

I sawwwwrrrrrry! Maybe I will be able to come in here one day (in the distant future, not the near
So does this mean I don't have to send you my flat iron anymore and I can bring it to you so you can show me how to use it right!
. I am really hoping mine looks like yours next summer.
