Natural Flat Ironed with Aveda Brillant products (pics)

This is the third (?) time I have straightened my hair since I BC'd last April. I get better at it everytime. I had imposed a no heat challenge on myself that I was going to end in September , but decided to do it earlier since I will be swimming up to 4 times a week in September.

Ok my straightening routine this time around:

• Shampoo after swimming with Antichlorine shampoo
• Oil rinse with Red Palm Oil
• DC with Jessicurl WDT
• Rinse and rollerset (a pitiful rollerset) using Aveda Brilliant Damage Control and small amount of coconut oil
  
• Flat iron with Aveda Brilliant Pomade (choked full of cones!)
• Pin curled

My hair is pretty much the length that it was before my BC and a whole lot thicker so I'm pretty happy with it. I really like the Aveda Brillant line for straightening hair. It was pretty humid humid here and I had no reversion with the pomade.
It took my over 4 hours to do it, I stopped keeping up after that

Your hair is so beautiful and thick. Good job.

What temp did you use your flat iron on?

I have a maxiglide and I use it on 8, so I don't know what that equals in degrees. I also did not use the teeth plate.
