I did not achieve a smooth roller set when I tried it. Maybe curlformers or flexi rods will work. Can anyone else answer this question?Read the thread and my question
1) how do you maintain your straight hair
Meaning do it revert back or stay straight
My hair stays straight until I wash. I notice frizz when the treatment begins to wear off. So, usually I pin curl my hair at night and that seems to work for me.
2) if it stays straight can you roller set or must you constantly use heat to keep it straight
I have not been able to do a wet roller set. Sometimes I use hard rollers and leave them in for a couple of hours, I pin curl the night before, or use my hot rollers.
3) we are talking about the transitional mousse, right because the elongation just loosen the curl a bit, right?
I use the transitional mousse (foam actually). I really don't see much purpose for the elongation mouse because my hair, when wet, still has lots of texture. My hair doesn't really straighten unless I apply heat.
If I want to flat iron once a month and roller set weekly for straight hair ... Can I do this with DE system
Dove56 it seems like this blows the silk elements treatment out of the water? I was actually going to buy it tom. but the DE sounds nice. Don't know if my wallet is ready now though..lol

Please believe me when I say that DE is not paying me, but I have to say that this treatment is so far the best thing that has happened to my hair. I did the treatment myself tonight and it turned out wonderful. My hair actually looks better than when I go to the salon. With this DE treatment I've been able to eliminate the blowdryer. That's something that I've been trying to accomplish for years!! My hair is so much easier to manage and style.
I wash, add con dish, then I detangle and do two strand twists with condish in my hair. I steam with my microwave cap or just let it sit. I rinse my hair with still in twists and air dry or sit underneath the dryer. Afterwards I take out each section and flat iron it. Next summer I'm going to eliminate the flat iron part and just wear the twist out in a pin up style. Woo-hoo!! I'm so happy and I'm so happy that I was persistent and didn't stop at the stylist who knew nothing about this product, yet they encouraged me to leave it alone because it wasn't for "our" hair.

I have fine strands. These amino acid treatments strengthen my fine strands.I have a question: Does anyone that has used this treatment have fine strands? I have fine strands, and BKT require to much. Would anyone recommend this to a fine haired person? I am thinking about this for late fall.
Hi Dove56
yes it does thanks. i want to hear more about the babyliss steam iron. my babyliss nano titanium seems to be burning my hair.Napp What i described above is how I wash, dc, and straighten my hair. I'm protecting and growing out the back portion of my hair, so I have a few tracks in. Right now I wear my hair straight, so I use a steam flat iron to stretch out the two strand twists. (Babyliss Pro is awesome!) My hair is doing SOOO much better without using that blowdryer.
Next year this time I don't plan on flat ironing my hair at all. I wear the two strand twists in different pinned up styles.
Does this explain?

Hi Dove56
Anybody know or trust a salon in NYC to do this treatment??
Thought about buying it and trying it myself but have one too many horror stories about doing at home treatments.
TIA
Do any one of you workout regularly? How does it hold up with sweating?

Dove56, thank you now I will spend even more money & buy this headband as well...natural_one
I workout regularly and it holds up very well. Mind you I exercise outside in this horrid Texas heat and humidity so I need my hair to hold up!
I put my hair in a ponytail then put my Lululemon headband on like this:
After I'm done I wrap my hair, take a shower, chill and have swangy smooth hair the next day.
