3 Hair Questions for the Late Night LHCFers

[Missi]

Out of curiosity I just need to know some simple questions........

1. Is it okay to flatiron ur hair using Chi Silk Infusion after a relaxer without it weighing the hair down?
2. Would air-drying until its dry (3 hrs) be the same as sitting under a hooded-dryer for 1 hr?
3. In ur 'personal opinion' do you feel as though a scalp massager (shampoo brush) is a good way to stimulate ur scalp while shampooing?

1. Is it okay to flatiron ur hair using Chi Silk Infusion after a relaxer without it weighing the hair down?
i don't know. i've used CSI before but not after a relaxer. Plus my hair doesn't get weighed down easily.

2. Would air-drying until its dry (3 hrs) be the same as sitting under a hooded-dryer for 1 hr?
i find that the hooded dryer controls my hair better than airdrying. airdrying always leaves my hair a frizzy mess while the hooded dryer leaves it less crazy and straighter.

3. In ur 'personal opinion' do you feel as though a scalp massager (shampoo brush) is a good way to stimulate ur scalp while shampooing?
i've never heard of a shampoo brush. it sounds like it could really rip through your wet hair. i'd stick to massaging my scalp with my fingertips while shampooing if i were you. Better be safe than sorry.

1) CSI does NOTHING for my flat ironed hair, but is amazing on my air dryed hair...go figure!

2) I think drying under the hood may control frizzies better.

3) I think a finger massage, NOT NAILS, is just as effective without the risk of damage/scalp irritation. MY scalp can't take it...I'm tenderheaded, though.

Now, that I'm reading this...I wasn't much help, huh? erplexed

Can't help you on the first two questions (I'm natural and don't flat iron... yet)

As far as the shampoo brush... I just picked one up and used it tonight for the first time! I like it. It is plastic with soft but firm rounded tip nubs. It reminds me of a nubby body massager. I didn't brush through my hair with it. I just scratched around my scalp with it. It feels pretty great. I can't wait to use it with my tea tree cowash!

This is the one that I picked up today. 80 cents at Big Lots!

Out of curiosity I just need to know some simple questions........

1. Is it okay to flatiron ur hair using Chi Silk Infusion after a relaxer without it weighing the hair down? Yes- this is when I use it & my hair is always bouncy!!

2. Would air-drying until its dry (3 hrs) be the same as sitting under a hooded-dryer for 1 hr? Yes, for me it is. I use a serum (Neutrogena Leave-In) that helps frizzies.

3. In ur 'personal opinion' do you feel as though a scalp massager (shampoo brush) is a good way to stimulate ur scalp while shampooing? Never used one, so can't help on this one.

That brush looks nice. Normally I see the ones with smaller teeth much closer together, and I've never bothered with them as I figured they were better for fine 1a type folx, but I may see if I can find one like yours. I did have a stylist use one on my hair before, and it felt nice, but I was relaxed and still never botherd to buy my own. I have about 20-or so bottles of conditioner from big lots/odd lots when I found a paraben free one there for 2 bucks each, so I've been itching to buy something for my hair, but I'm all stocked up.

I've seen these type of brushes. They just look like trouble. I can just see one my getting lost in my hair .

Don't you just LOVE the bargains!? I only allow my self to go in those types of stores once a month or so.
