What I do is after the hair is dried I spray on some heat protectant. but not a lot. then i let it dry because it can damp the hair a little ( i use a spray-nexxus heat protexx, but i think i am gonna give that up because it seems like it is making my hair kinda dry). which ever method i choose to use follows here- i usually rollerset to get it dry
then i start from the back. i part the hair no more than 1 inch wide and 1/4 and inch thick. i takes about a hour to do it all but it's worth it. i think dip my finger in my serum, and rub it my thumb and pointer finger together. it's only a SMUDGE of serum on there-just enough to lubricate the fingers. I then apply it to that little section and smooth it down the section. then (this the key right hurr) i use my rattail comb to comb the little section before i iron. this allows the peice to straighten straight and get any knots out.
the first pass with the iron is always slow, but then i do the other quickly because for some unknown reason it makes my hair silkier if i do the remining ones quicker. i may do another pass, hell i may even do 3 passes until it is right. i figure you are already doing the damage using heat you mines will get it right.
i continue the parting one inch thing until i am done. once i am done, i will wrap for the night and tie it with my silk scarf. next day my hair be swangin with the wind ->
