My First Flat Iron! And I Used Crisco! *Pics*

[pookaloo83]

This is not thread worthy and this is my first hair thread so bare with me.

Here's my background. I bc'd in April of last year and I transitioned for 6 months.

The day I bc'd

My hair today was a puff:

My hair before the flatiron

Now bear with me. I had baby pook who's 3, take most of these pics cause DH is at work.

My ends look a lil jacked.

Lil pook took that one.

I always used to pin curl my hair when I was relaxed and got this look. And I always wore with a banana clip.

I will post how my hair looks tomorrow once it's styled. I'll probably end up doing my banana clip 'do.

Thanks for looking!

You did a good job! Your pony looks nice and shiny. How much heat did you use?

I'm tickled pink over baby Pook taking the pix! The baby is better at taking pix than I am!

Your hair looks really nice and shiny!!! Good job!

Are you pleased with the crisco oil and will you use it again?

I have very fine hair. I used a swipe or half a swipe but it still looked stick straight and greasy. but once I brushed with my denman it started to get a lil flowy. I like it! I will be using crisco from now on! Plus it's only 2.99!

I just hope my hair reverts back!

What temp did you use your flatiron? I think anything under 400 degrees should cause you no problems. I know it's a little scary when it's your first time flatironing

You got that baby earning her keep already, huh?

 

[Kerryann]

Im jealous your first flat iron looks way better than my first you did a great job

I have a chi. I just put the bar in the middle. Not too hot and not too warm. The highest is I think 460?

That Crisco method is doing the thang , good growth Op.

Pics are always thread worthy.

 

[Bublin]

Very nice and great progress.
......but more to the point i think lil pook is a budding photographer.....going to start training my 2 and a half year old!

Aww go head baby Pook! You did a good job with the flat iron and crisco Pook.

 

[finickyone]

Well Baby Pook did a great job! I think your hair looks good.

I did my daughter's hair last week with the Maxi glide & Crisco. I too was pleased with the results. Her hair is very thick 4a & 4b in the crown. I let it air dry and before flat ironing, I used a dab of Crisco using the tension method to dry the rest of her hair. I was especially pleased how smooth her ends were and only had to do 2 passes with the maxi glide.

Baby Pook did a great job with the pics!

Great growing Pook!

 

[AKA-Tude]

That Crisco is the bizniss!!

And I only had to do 1 pass! I flatironed when I was transitioning with fantsasia serum and had to do at least 3 passes.

Go 'head Pook!

 

[pookaloo83]

You and baby Pook did a great job! Glad the Crisco worked for your hair because I have fine hair too and plan to use it when I flat iron next year for a length check.

 

[MissAlinaRose]

pookaloo83 One pass with crisco?! Now you have me all up in here thinking about going to the store tomorrow lol.

BTW: those gifs and the baby photographer comment has me cracking up! I can just picture the excitement behind the camera.

 

[RegaLady]

Looking good! You got it pretty straight. I may have to try some Crisco!

 

[pookaloo83]

And that was a bad move on my part, cause now she says mommy "can I take picture of you again?" Might as well train her now!

 

[hannan]

Oooo, I really like your hair after you pin-curled it! Looks great, pook!

 

[Mom23]

Your hair looks really nice. I may have to give crisco a try if I decide to straighten for my two year mark.

 

[blackmaven]

Your hair turn out nice!

Crisco....hmmmmm....maybe in the near future for me...lol
