Flat Ironing

[shadylane21]

I am just wondering how often do u all flat iron with relaxers? i am try to do it only once per week.

normally once every 8 weeks, unless I have a special function to attend then it may be twice in an 8 week period.

Although I love the look of my flat ironed hair, I just don't do it very often. It's usually only a few times between relaxer touch ups. If I had more time, I'd go for it more often (like once a week or once every two weeks).

i would go to a salon and get it washed and flat ironed every two weeks. as long as you keep it wrapped up at night and care for it ( and try not to get your hair wet) it should last for more than a week. try not to do it more than once a week cause heat damage is no joke and only flat iron clean hair. im sure you've heard this already


oh and OOOH AH AH! at your siggy doll poppin and twistin

How do u keep your hair straight if not flat ironing? I washed my hair last night after having the bantu knot out, and I tried to wrap it but my hair was so thick I dont think it will look great. I know my roots are flat so maybe i'll just flat iron my ends. Any suggestions?

after i wash it ,i either blowdry it out and do a crosswrap or let it airdry in twists and crosswrap. <<<<<that technique is what helps my ends flatten out. be sure to moisturize your ends first, but doing a crosswrap ALWAYs straigtens my ends out and dont have to flat iron

O.K. just looking at this old post and I would like to say that I no longer flat iron my hair once a week, today I will be flat ironing for the first time in a couple of months! Oh and now I know how to make my hair straight without heat. Thanks LHCF i've come a long way and still have a ways to go.
