i can straighten my hair straighter than salons. the last few times i went to a salon as a natural i left with my hair two steps removed from an afro and it reverted almost immediately. waste of money. didnt last a day. so i decided i would straighten my hair myself from now on.
but i have to weigh my hair down to do it. i shampoo and airdry in braids with a creme leave in then flat iron in dime width sections using an oily heat protectant. it gets very straight (and doesnt revert) but it lacks that professional look. you know like your hair is a shiny aluminum sheet with volume that hangs loose and sort of big.
how do you find the balance between using a lot of product to get it flat and using not a lot to keep it big without ending up with a partial fro or stringy strands?
im going out friday night and i want to straighten my hair. i think i might end up blowdrying to save time and that might make a difference with straight fluffiness.
