Well, since finding out about LHCF, I am on a no-heat regimen indefinitely. I haven't used heat in almost two months. Prior to that, I used it maybe once every two weeks, sometimes more if I was going out....I did not take care of my hair at all. I had a good stylist (when I felt like driving out there), she was my mother :) lol So when I did not feel like driving the 45 minutes to have her do my hair, I did it myself, which was most of the time. I haven't found anyone as good since, (style wise yes, but they did not care about the health of my hair).

When I did straighten it, I used Kizure pressing combs, and Kizure flat irons. Nothing spectacular, I never added any product until after flat ironing, and that was a small dab of KMS or RUSK polisher.

Would you mind sharing your technique?
Did you start with pressed hair?
Did you braid in cornrows or individual braids?

Not at all...

I washed my hair w/KeraCare Hydrating Shampoo, followed it up with Ors Replenishing Pak. I rinsed that out with cold water. After the rinse, I took equal amounts of Maka powder, Fenugreek, and Hibiscus, poured some boiling water over it, and allowed it to cool. After that, I strained it through some cheesecloth, and poured it over my head. After that rinse, I poured about two cups of Apple Cider Vinegar over my head. I use this everytime I poo because I have VERY HARD WATER. Using the rinse, and the apple cider vinegar gives amazing slip, closes the cuticle, makes my hair shiny, manageable, and acts as a instant detangler. Apple Cider vinegar is also very close to the ph balance of your hair which helps ward off the terrible effects from hard water.

So after that, I used a spritz (made with Sodium Lactate, Aloe Vera Juice, Distilled water, a little bit of Panthenol, and Lecithin) and sprayed my hair, and did a light comb through section by section. I braided my hair in individual plaits, tied a scarf on, and went to sleep :)
