DivaStyle, Qetesh, and jwhitley6 wears their hair straight most of the time too but I do not think they have a hair album (and I think they also have a mixture of type 3 strands too)...you may want to do a search on their posts about heat or straightening natural hair...

Here is a list of 4a/b natural ladies who wear their hair straight most of the time who do have albums:
unlvgirl
WhipEffectz1
pet

ladies who are not 4a/b that straighten most of the time:
NuMe2004
Kha
Chocokitty

So you may have to do your own research if these members do not see your thread. ;)

OK I though you would begin it now! No pb with rollerset i personnaly plan to do it my self(more heat...like once a month) when I will reach my ultimate goal:yep:
 
Off the subject: New Adopt a Newbie Challenge!! needs more natural sistas that attained length to sign up and be big sisters...

When my stylist is in town and my budget allows I get my hair pressed. but i braid it or wrap it to wear under my wigs

Come on ladies..................................bumpingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
 
There's not much of difference between straight and rollerset styles to me because you're manipulating it either way but I only do presses like every two weeks or more. I can blow out my hair and wear rollersets on dry hair for 3-5 days. With a straight style when done by myself I can go up to a week on that style by doing cross wraps and wearing up to six rollers in different sections of my head overnight to give it a lil bump. When done by a stylist, I can go up to 2 weeks(that's if I don't wash).

I actually prefer airdrying. As far as using twists and flexirods, I think that would
be okay even great as a non manipulation style...actually I've been wanting to get back to the flexirods as I just use my Hotsticks without the heat. I might do it this weekend (or earlier) and take pics for you to see. I'm not using heat right now and don't intend on until in a couple months.

Cross-wraps can be achieved by combing your hair to the back, making a part down the middle into two sides, and pinning each side on top of your head so that they cross one another. hth!

I don't wear my hair straight, frankly because I don't know what I'm doing. However, have you checked out the owner of the message board for naturals (I'm not sure if I'd be breaking forum rules if I posted links and gave the name). The owner of that site has a picture in her Fotki where her hair looks blow out straight. She doesn't use heat. She stretched her hair by putting it into big twists and then she brushed with her Denman brush.

I'm trying to make it work for me. However, the Denman brush makes my hair shrink and it actually defines my coils. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
 
send me a Pm patty if its not against the rules...thanks

OK here goes my regimen. All the OG Divas please feel free to critique me, I'd love that:-D...

Straight week

-I wash with Pantene R&N Shampoo
-I condition for an hour with half Pantene R&N Mask and half EVOO. *I recently tried Coconut Milk last week, it's awesome too*
-I then wash it out and carefully comb my hair out into about 6 sections and clip. I keep my hair very wet when I do this
-Before blowdrying each section, I put in some Granier Fructis Sleek and Shine.
-As I blow dry I pull the section straight like Pink Roller Skates Does (I love her!)
-Then I take a roller brush and blow out the roots. This gets my hair super straight at the roots which is half the battle. I have to be carefull at this step and finger detangle so I won't pull out any hair.
-The easy part is flat ironing! I use an Ion ceramic from Sallys.

Poofy Week. (I need help with what to do on this week for moisture and flyaway control)

-Basically wet it every morning with conditioner. I use Garnier Leave in.
-I mix up Live and some sort of Yellow Clear gel (that you can get at Walmart) up and put that in my hair to smooth it down. I tie it down, bun it up and go.
-For cute looks I have a massive scarf collection and I'm just starting to use headbands.

So when you roller set your hair gets straight? Maybe I should try it out seems so simple and easy.

how come i didnt see this message?????
 
Ok, I have kind of a dumb question:ohwell:. If you are natural, but wear your hair straight 90% of the time, why not just get a relaxer? I mean you could do it 4 times a year, and get straight hair, w/out reversion, or having to use the flat iron or hot comb all the time.
