Your hair looks fabulous, waw you use the same products as I do except for two of them and we have the same type of hair. I also flat ironed my hair last week ( pic in avatar ) but I wish it would be with more volume and body like your hair.
 
Just chiming in to say that your hair is sooo pretty.....

Oh, how i wish for such thickness.....:wallbash:
:lachen::lachen:
 
You did a wonderful job! Your hair is nice and healthy as well as thick! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW, that's beautiful!
Great job. How does it hold up in the ALT summer weather?

We shall see :look:...I usually keep my press in for about 2 weeks before I wash it out. It usually holds up pretty well during that 2 week period as long as I dont sweat it out too bad and if it's not too humid. I am thinking the IC heat protectant may help some. I plan on getting some Sabino Moisture Block though tho too, so we'll see how well that helps with reversion....
 
It looks great. I'm going to have to stop looking at these flat-ironed hair pictures, otherwise I'll end up buying one too.
 
Ok, so when is your YouTube video going to be posted? 'Cause a sista needs to see a step-by-step "how to" to keep in my repertoire for when I go natural!

Great job!

I talked about a few changes in my regimen when it comes to pressing my hair in the thread below:

^Of course that thread was worthless without pics, so I went home & snapped a few pics to share :grin: These are from about an hour ago...I pressed my hair on yesterday:

Tried to get a close-up of the roots so you could see how straight I was able to get it with my GVP:

The pic below is from about a month ago when I last pressed it. I rolled it on big rollers and this was the result:

Your hair looks great, i wish i could get the same results when i straighten my hair, it never gets really straight maybe i need to try a higher setting.
 
*rethinking my decision to texlax*
Your hair looks great!!! And it seems to be growing back nicely! Where did you get that iron?

I bought the GVP flat iron from Sally's (I think I paid $59.99 for it at the time??). I believe GVP is Sally's brand but don't quote me on that cuz I could be wrong...
