Day four of my "straight hair natural" experiment

I flat ironed my hair Thursday. The root has needed to be touched up every single day. This has shown me I can't be a straight haired natural. If the wind blows my hair reverts! Wassup wit dat..... :(

Partially dried hair. The reversion started before I was halfway done so I gave up and re-wet it. That's what I get for not sticking with my CG method. Oh well....

Very nice lady! Are you fully natural now?

Did a twisted bun on 2-day-old twists that were banded overnight. Put a headband on so my hair wouldn't puff up while I exercise. Going to greenhouse tonight and rock it again tomorrow.

I got inspired by mstanish1 to do loose two strand twists on my hair. I did them on lightly blowdried hair which didn't seem to make a difference from my super stretched hair other than the texture. I think what I did it was too loose though even if our textures are different. It still can be a new way to wear loose hair without your hair being loose I suppose but I plan to keep it in various updos. I might try it a bit tighter next time. I braided the roots so I hope I can keep these in until the beginning of October. I may have to refresh in the meanwhile because this is definitely not a style you can wash. The pictures are from you trying a twistout of sorts on it.

It took a little while for my hair to stop reverting when I began pressing it. I know it's a huge no no around these parts but I used to wrap it really tight after applying some Paul Mitchell foaming pomade. Always worked like a charm!

I think the big key for heathy pressed natural hair is learning non heat tricks to straighten it. Or knowing when to admit defeat, throw it in a bun or ponytail and wait until your next wash day.
 
SimJam Yes!! I plan on buying some havanna hair next week, after these set of braids I am getting installed on Monday, that's the next hair I will try.
