Ladies,o I could stre
I am a new natural. I HAVE NOT been able to get my hair to stay straight for more than 10 mins!![Wallbash :wallbash: :wallbash:](/smilies/wallbash.gif)
So far I have tried rollersetting then flat ironing ( I will include pics of this in a min, just need to figure out how to work it). I've also tried air-drying in braids so I could stretch the hair out before flat ironing. I tried using the maxi-glide so I have steam and a ceramic so there is none. I used a leave-in and then I tried without etc etc.
So the like 6 times I've tried I just give up because it's not working.
This time I rollerset and my hair was straight! But only for 20 mins because by the time I flat ironed a small piece it already started reverting.
Pic 1= The only way I could get it to stay straight was to pincurl it as I went along
Pic 2= Took down the pin curls and it went from straight to this in half hour. Hair after it has been rollerset and flat-ironed then left open for only a half hour. NO WATER TOUCHED MY HAIR!
How do I get a good press that last more than 2 mins?
