flat ironed for the first time since being natural..
As you can see it was kind of a fail lol, and took 7 hours of my life

Victoria44 nice job. Is this before or after the cut? How does your hair feel? Is it heavy/swingy?

Thanks! All the pics are after the cut, do my ends still look bad? I'm sure I didn't get all of it lol. And um, my hair felt light (non greasy) and semi swingy ( a different swing from what I've seen when women get their hair silky straight). The weight of it was still pretty light, but felt heavier than from when I wear natural styles.

No, it looks good. I don't think it's a fail either. I guess you mean you were going for silky straight. Natural hair has more character-- so I prefer more body and texture to my flat iron's. You achieved the perfect medium. By the way, what did the braider do to damage your hair?

In my head I thought it would come out silky straight lol but when I finished I wasn't disappointed, it just wasn't what I imagined. The last time I went to the braiding shop, the braider kept combing my hair from root to tip with a fine tooth comb, and I even gave her a wide tooth comb to use but she kept switching back. I didn't think it would be a huge deal, I'd just have a few more splits to cut off, but when I took my braids out my ends were pretty much shredded. I didn't want to lose length by cutting them all off at once so I've been doing my regular dusting, but I finally just cut it all while flat ironing. It was relieving.

So I did a cowash last night and put my hair into bantu knots to dry.

Then I saw this new video from LongHairDontCare2011 and wanted to try my version. http://youtu.be/I8u6J0BIDfE

I am not good and flat twists as you can see but I will definitely try to perfect this. It is a great winter hairstyle.

My niece and I went to the salon Friday! Got nice DCs and trims. She's 10, going on 21. I let her wear her hair down for one day before I gave her a more kid friendly style. :-)

jprayze I love when your niece makes guest appearances! Soooo cute.

vmerie I'm going to attempt that style tomorrow. It is looks horrid, back in a bun it will go. :lol:

Skiggle And now I want some braids. I love it.
 
NappyNelle I posted that just for you! My sister knows nothing about hair care and doesn't take care of my nieces hair like she should, so every time I can scoop her up, I make sure her and her hair get lots of TLC!
 
Took my baby girl to the salon today to get a trim (2 inches), highlights for the first time, and bangs. I asked my stylist to rollerset DD's hair and flatiron it. Four and a half hours later she got what she wanted. She was flipping it around all happy lol I'm very happy with the results. DD gets her hair done at the salon once a year, I straighten it maybe 2X a year so this was a treat. I am looking forward to seeing her hair curly with the red highlights.

Her regimen: cowash every day then applies gel. That's it.
