Aluminum Foil---Anyone use to flatiron or deepcondition?

[fluffylocks]

Growafrohairlong mentions using aluminum foil on damp ends with a medium heated iron (but not hot because it would burn your hair)

Back in 2004 someone mentioned deepconditoning with aluminum

Anyone do either techniques presently?
(im really interested in the flatiron thing though, that seems like a good way to protect your ends from heat & lock in moisturie)

I use this, for my ends I colour on natural hair and have had my ends cut/ trimmed cause they wouldn't come out smooth (they weren't split just rough) after this my cuticle was nice and smooth, so I now do this once every 6 or so weeks after a colour retouch

I've done this with Sebastians 2+1, which they reccomend doing for damaged hair. This leaves you hair very soft and moisturized. It's like giving you hair a steam treatment. The last time I done this with the above conditioner, me no likey. I think the ingredients in the conditioner have expired. I've had this conditioner for like 2 years and it had probably been sitting on the shelf for 2 years before that. I plan on doing this soon with just olive oil and a little glycerin on very wet hair. I just might get an new bottle of Sebastians 2+1 because in the past it has worked wonders on my hair

I know of girl that does this when she deep conditions her hair and her hair is always on point. Thinking about it, I am going to use saran wrap the next time I condition and see what happens.
