Hi.
Thanks to all of you on this board ive learned so much!!! I dont even understand why i took long to come here and get all these methods in my head.
Anyway i wanted to share some flat iron pics.
Im a 4ab, i guess mostly b though...well its 4 type to be short lol.
I have fine hair, so : my hair prefers being worn straight, but we must be careful with fine hair when it comes to heat and relaxers. I wanted to relax again after fustration last week, but dident.
Ok so what i want to say is that i tried flat ironning and the one i did for christmas this week was the best. It came out bone straight. But as i have fine hair it doesnt feel heavy or full...
I started by deep conditionning as usual : the night before i part sections ,spray hair to make it damp add the condit, detangle and braid that seciton. Next day i rinse it out and gentle shampoo or co wash.
Then i added this time : apoghee keratin green tea spray + keracare oil moisturize + ic fantasia heat serum.
My hair came out bone straight ! and it had a little bit of weight this time.
I was so scared because it was so oily! but as my hair drank it all up the next day it was perfect ! not oily and moisturized, even today (making it 4 days after) I trimmed the ends so its all feeling great !
preparing the hair :
ETA : forgot to add that à week.before i henna'd my hair with lots of olive oil +eggs
Flat ironned saturday before chirstmas (it took me 50 minutes to straighten entire head)
ps on above pic: my waist is at the purple line of the boarder (where my fat marks )
2nd pic below is a braid out
here below is a flat iron pic of october 2012.
If your fine haired and prefer it to look more full, its then better to not make it bone straight.
I did bone straight, it looked nice, then a few days later i like puffing it up with volume by spritzing it.
Today i sprayed some s-curl to my hair and sealed, it came out like the pic of october.
When you spritz it, dont put tons of spray! Just enough to moisturize well, seal as desired then put the hair back up in a braid or tight twists. This will allow it to no puff up even more. It will stay straight but with volume.
And as many ladies said on this forum, one of the secrets of a good flat iron : DEEP CONDITIONNING AND WELL MOISTURIZED HAIR!. yup yup yup, true for sure.
If i do take any other pics with different styles ill add them in here too.
Well, hope I helped a little bit. I just wanted to share for those interested.
