Nope. That was my experiment that I called myself documenting it in my photo albums in my profile. I was scared that I would damage my hair, and it wouldn't grow. It did though so I'm happy that I don't have to wear it natural anymore. I flat iron my hair on 370. I read an article on naturally curly that said that a flat iron should be on 368 if used daily to prevent heat damage. I also condition the heck out of my hair. I've started putting AO HSR on my ends when they feel dry. Here's the ISH treatment that I started using. It's on sale. Buy a bottle and try it out. I used darn near the whole bottle the first time I used it. Here it is:

4)Wash twice a week, cowash twice a week, DC twice a month,Protcetive styles until Jan 09 Retouch every 6 weeks. Tried to stretch longer and my hair broke. I had problems with psoriasis damaging my follicles, so I have to really watch that area and cannot stretch beyond 6 weeks or it will snap!

3. Pantene or Suave humectant shampoo and conditioner. I use the Pantene conditioner for my daily cowashes.
