I\'m Straight!!!

LOL - Only temporarily - so the guardians of the curl can let out a sigh of relief. I got bored today so I decided to take a second attempt at straightening my hair. Used the entire Loreal Vive Smooth-Intense line, plus a little Nature's Therapy and some Ultra Sheen Creme Press for good ol' fashioned protection. I rollerset then curled with my crappy Jilbere ceramic flat iron. I'll probably pin curl and wear some sort of curls because wrapping wreaks havoc on my hair - always has.

I had no idea I had this much hair! I am so happy that I have made so much progress this year - going from 2 inches at the BC to roughly 6 inches all over. The bottom back section is actually past the bottom of my neck.

Today, I'll consider this attempt a success, but lets see how long it lasts.

As always, there are pics in my album.

Re: I\'m Straight!!!

It looks good girl. I love your hair color too, it really compliments your skin tone. You hair looks very thick and healthy.
 
Re: I\'m Straight!!!

How pretty! Your hair looks great! The color is nice and it looks shiny, silky and bouncy. Too cute! /images/graemlins/up.gif I love your curls, too (the natural and rollerset ones)!
 
Re: I\'m Straight!!!

Virtuasis, your hair is lovely! I will be trying the rollersetting technique when I press my hair next. Thanks! -PNC
 
Re: I\'m Straight!!!

Your hair is gorgeous! You did a great job! How long did you sit under the dryer and what kind of rollers did you use?

I sat under the dryer for about 45 minutes, then removed the rollers and sat for about 5 minutes more. I used the pink plastic rollers - they were a bit small, and I would have preferred some slightly larger, but it is all I had at the time.

Great style..It looks all 70's charlie angels-ish. I love full hair with bounce. Keep it up girl.

Re: I\'m Straight!!!

very cute your hair is so healthy looking who ever said chemically processed hair/dyed hair couldn't be healthy needs to look at your album your hair is on point.
 
Re: I\'m Straight!!!

Your hair looks great! It has really grown! /images/graemlins/shocked.gif
 
Re: I\'m Straight!!!

Your hair looks so pretty, virtuasis! Your color goes very well with your skin tone.

I love all your curls- wash and go or rollerset /images/graemlins/weird.gif

OT: I tried your recipe for happy curls last night and I loved it! It was actually a little modified (I used Suave Awapuhi instead of Humectant) but I really, really like the Care Free Curl Activator Gel. My hair was incredibly soft, the curls were really smooth and there was even less shrinkage /images/graemlins/clap.gif It provides all the benefits of a high glycerin content without the Sta-Sof-Fro stickiness!
