Eliminating Heat

[kamillya14]

I am new here, and just starting to develop a regimen, although I'm having a really hard time eliminating heat. Because my hair is short and layered, in an inverted bob, there is little I can do that doesn't have me looking like a crazy woman.

I have eliminated "greasing" my scalp, having relaxers bone-straight, and harsh shampoos a long time ago, which has resulted in thicker, fuller hair, and I'm now ready to begin the process of growing it longer.

When I read others regimens, it seems like cutting out the heat has been so easy, but this is the BIGGEST change I will have to make. So far, my best thought it to at least cut out the flat iron, unless specially needed, and just use a blow dryer once a week, after a deep condition and heat protectant. It is possible to do this, and continue to wear my hair curly/ in braid-outs, until it gets shoulder length, and I could begin doing rollersets, or something will less heat....???erplexed???

Does anyone have any advice for eliminating heat on texlaxed, short hair?

See if you can get you hair in the smallerst ponytail you can, if you can do that you can put a phony pony on you hair to help grow it out. Or just wear a wig or braids.

Rollersets followed by the Saran Wrap method a.k.a silk wrap will be good choice and the silk wrap can eliminate the need to flat iron.

My hair is too short for rollersets - it just comes out with really tight curls like look kinda grandma-ish.....I have tried the silk wrap and it didn't work so well....

But I was reading about cross-wrapping, which is what I do to my hair at night....I wonder if I could try cross-wrapping to dry my hair under the hooded dryer??
