[kbragg]

Am I missing something? Isn't Cathy relaxed???

[Sha76]

only on special occasions..when I do only on freshly washed hair.

I dont think shes relaxed anymore. Supposedly, she went natural some time back because she attributed relaxing to thinning hair.

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

Right now it's twice a month. Am hoping to go to once a month after the holidays!

I use heat when roller setting hair and direct heat at every touch up. i hate heat.

 

[TowsonGirl]

I voted for 2-3x a month. I rarely (if ever) now use direct heat. I used to blow dry and flat iron once a wk, but have stopped that cold turkey about 2 mos ago. I only sit under the dryer for rollersets after I wash which is about every wk or two.

 

[Vshanell]

Normally twice a month but I've currently cut back to maybe once every 2 months. I do use a hooded dryer twice a month.

 

[bellydancer]

I never use heat. I'm natural, but I'd have to use heat (via Maxiglide) to straighten, but I haven't straightened it in almost a year.

 

[keluric]

I voted for once a month but it's more like once every four months or longer.

 

[keluric]

I never use heat. I'm natural, but I'd have to use heat (via Maxiglide) to straighten, but I haven't straightened it in almost a year.

OT: How long have you been natural?.. your hair is great!

 

[missnappylady]

I try to use heat a maximum of 4x a year.

 

[ravenmerlita]

I use a hard-hat hair dryer 2-3 times a week to dry my wash & go or roller set. 1-2 times a month I use a flat iron to straighten my roots after a roller set. I also use a heat cap 2-3 times a week for deep conditioning.

 

[Candy1978]

For me, I use NO direct heat. It's not that hard for me to do consdidering I really don't like fooling around with my hair all like that anyways. The only heat I ever use is the hooded hair dryer, for deep conditioning, and roller sets..It is my long term goal to never use direct heat on my hair or my daughter's hair.

 

[lshevonne]

I use heat 2 times a week. My hooded dryer and flat iron when I wash once a week and my flat iron again during the week maybe once. If I wrap my hair at night I won't need the flat iron unless it's to touch-up a spot.

 

[NoNapNique]

What does Cathy Howse have to do with this personal inquiry?

I do not use any type of direct heat. Only indirect for deep conditioners.

I have seen her (on her book) and it is long, but to me it looks awfully dry and stringy to ME... So I definitely wouldn't think I could use heat 2x a week if I were looking at her hair.

But to answer the OP ?...
I use it about twice per month to smooth and curl front bangs for the fall/quick weave I wear as a protective style... But other than that I haven't blow dried my hair since Dec. 2005. I deep cond. weekly with hooded ionic dryer.

 

[PittGirl06]

maybe once ever 2-3 months.

 

[camellia]

I used heat twice last year and none the year before last.

I might use it once this year.

 

[pistachio]

I use heat twice a week, but keep in mind that that's after two hrs. of pre-pooing and then 45 min. of DC-ing, and 15 min. of regular conditioning EACH TIME. No hair dryer nor flat-iron touches my hair until it's intensely conditioned!!!!

 

[FlowerHair]

I'm in between once a month and Never
Maybe once a year at the most. I have all the gadgets in my closet, but I'm too lazy to use them. Besides, I love curly, frizzy, nappy hair

 

[InnerSoul]

I use heat 2x a week with a dome dryer(indirect heat) for my deep conditoning treatments or rollersets or to dry my twisted or plaited hair for a next day twist/braid out. I may use the curling iron every once in a blue moon. But in my regimen..I just use the dome dryer twice a week.

 

[delp]

Does anyone know her new "Natural hair" Regime?

 

[Miosy]

I use heat every other week

 

[locabouthair]

i havent used direct heat since august. but i do sit under the dryer for weekly deep conditioning.

 

[RubyWoo]

I use heat to deep condition which is once a week. I usually airdry my hair and I've had great success with that. I just recently got a new flat iron(the Solia) and I'm planning to use that only when I get a fresh relaxer. I plan to use it no more than 2x a month when I want a super sleek, straight look and too lazy to do a rollerset and then wrap.

 

[tsiporah]

It has been since 2004 that I used heat. I am going to wait until I am waist length to maybe **do** my hair. I am hoping that will be by the end of this summer. I may be there before then though. But giving myself some room.

 

[sholly6]

I only use indirect heat for deep condition, also, I'm in braids so I'm using the the flat iron and blow drying when I go to get my hair done at the salon. Maybe every three or four months.

 

[la flaca]

I sit under the hard drier weekly for deep cond & roller setting

 

[Valerie]

I don't use heat, I allow my hair to airdry.

 

[syze6]

Twice a month for me.

 

[lovenharmony]

I use indirect heat 1 x a week to DC only and direct when using my Aphogee treatments, which is about every 6 weeks. I haven't blow dried, flat ironed or used a curling iron in over 6 months!
