Hello Ladies!
I have been on this board trying to read all the info and figure out my own routine.
I just started transitioning in October 2008, and my edges are VERY nappy! I am loving my texture, but it is still needing a lot of help before it gets to a healthy state.
I have to attend a formal event on Sunday. I am wearing a floor length, strapless gown and I bought a beautiful half wig to wear. I need to flat iron my hair in the front to blend with the wig, which usually isn't a problem except the FORECAST FOR THAT DAY IS RAIN
...and I have a ton of new growth! It's been beautiful weather in LA up until TODAY and now it is friggin raining...just in time for this event!
I have to be outside when I get into the car and also for about 30 minutes, under a canopy, before we go into the venue, and then again getting back into and out of the car on the way to the after party. I can't avoid the humidity. There will also be people taking pictures
erplexed which I can't avoid either! I don't want to look all puffed up in the front with perfect curls in the back! HA! In the past, I would just relax my hair and call it a day, but I am loving my new growth texture and am trying to avoid doing that.
Are there any products that have worked to keep your hair from reverting due to the humidity? They need to be products that I can run to the store and buy. I don't have time for mail order.
Thanks in advance for all your help! I figured that this would be the perfect forum to ask for advice since you ladies are so knowledgeable on all things hair!
