Your hair's beautiful. How long does it take you to flat iron?

Thanks D. I'm slow with it....I stop in-between while flat ironing. I'm usually watching a movie and I get all caught up in it so taking my time I can probably do it in about an hour or a little more. It goes really fast w/ the maxiglide. When I flat ironed this time I was watching the Top Model marathon so it took me a long time because I kept stopping to watch it:lol: . That show is crazy.
 
Poka, I looooove your hair texture and you did a great job on the flat ironing; and YES it does look relaxer straight!:) What's your secret for keeping it straight for 2 whole weeks?

From the looks of your pics, I would def. say that you're WL now! HHG!!!

Ok, I"m in someone elses's album now and it's doing the same thing:confused: . I've never had this happen before, what's up with that?

Thanks so much for the complements girl.
 
your hair is AMAZING! I luv the techniques you use to get your hair straight. I will be banding the next time I air dry. Thanks for the tips... I looked through your inspiration folder and I think you may want to get some new inspirations because you have out done all the old ones. :look:

Thank you! I don't really do much to it through the week, just moisturize and band it back up at night. Lately I've been putting it in one big pin curl so I can get some bump on the ends. That's about it. Oh, and stay out of the rain, hee hee.

mohair.....thank you. Let me know how it turns out.
 
Pokahontas...your hair is growing so long and is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations on reaching waistlength. It's nice to know that you have found a way to airdry your hair straighter than if it was just loose. I'm going to bite off of everything you do, just so that my hair can get to where yours is now :grin: lol!!! Evidently, you are doing something right!

Keep up the good work and I know your hair is just going to keep growing, and growing and growing! Aim for butt length now girl...you will get there for sure!!!

Blessings:p

Thanks sweetie. At the rate you're going you'll be where I am in no time. You're doing such a great job.

Yeah butt length kinda overwhelm's me:lol: . I'm not sure if I will go that far only because my hair is so fine that the longer it gets the thinner it seems to look to me. I keep cutting at it to see if I can thicken it up. I think I'm gonna go back to wearing fuller styles and try to thicken it up a bit. HHG!
 
Thanks so much lonei, wyldcurlz, mermaid, danimani, egan, Nice&Wavy, Brownsis, Guyaneek, Royal Glory, angelita. If I forgot anyone I'm sorry and thank you. God bless you!

You're welcome. It was the maxiglide that got it relaxer straight and the banding just helped my hair stay stretched out and detangled as it dried.
