Any relaxed heads use heat once a week?

Bumping this old thread!

It's good to see so many relaxed heads using heat safely. I plan to use heat this weekend. I'll post in here how I do.

I use a wand curler every two weeks and grew my hair from shoulder length to waist length in about 3 years doing so.

@sunnieb I guess we can go on this journey together because I will be using heat weekly. I like my hair better when I use heat.

I keep air drying with my heat protectant and going to sleep!

I did my regular shampoo/dc tonight. Planned on dcing for an hour, but ended up being 2 hours because I got caught up watching/ reading coronavirus coverage.

Working from home for a while so I should have time to do a quick heat bump of my newgrowth in the morning before logging in.

Here's the heat protectant I'm using:

I have an announcement!!

I used direct heat for the first time in 9 years and my hair is fine!

I only did a slight bump to my newgrowth only. Afterwards, I could tell the difference. Newgrowth wasn't so tight and dense. It was soft.

I like it.

I'll do this weekly and see how it goes. Working from home full time for the next 2 months gives me plenty of time to practice.
