Curling Iron Help

[CaramelKiss]

Any of u ladies hair use the curling iron 1x a week with no damage to your hair?? If so, please share your routine with me. I sort of posted this on another thread, but I am currently growing out my hair after the big chop. I love it's natural state, but hate the "poodle sitting on my head" look! I've been doing ponytails and head bands, but in all honesty it looks like hell!!! Help me out please!!!

I have used the curling iron several times already and it makes my hair look fabulous. I just don't want to kill my progress and start all over from scratch. I'd appreciate any advice u could give me!!! Thank u!

I don't think you would have a problem using it once a week Just make sure you don't hold the barrel of the curling iron for long periods of time on your hair while curling. It can scorch your hair. Use a heat protectant too.

I sometimes flat iron my hair but at the most its every two weeks. I don't have any problems and I use a heat protectant.

Hi Peachtree!!! :wve: I forgot about this thread!!! I was doing a search for it and then I saw your post!!

LOL- Thank you girl!! But not to fret. What had happened is that I did another one of my "trims" in December to remove all the old color (the ends were getting frizzy and frayed from the color) from my hair and so my hair is really uneven at the moment and was not looking good at all. And to be honest with you short tight curls do not look good on me!!! But not to worry, I've only been doing it once a week and only until it grows out some. I want to put the iron away come Febuary and go back to my healthy routine. And it's not a straight, straight, look as in the days of old and I have been moisturizing the heck out of it. I thought about roller setting, but I am sooo lazy for that. Anyhow, February is almost here and I will also have an album posted at that time. My hair looks a lot more different than when I did the big chop the first time!!! You will see!!!
