Naturals that Straighten...

SamanthaJones, your hair looks great!!! Please post a picture when you do your whole head. By the way, that avatar has me LMAO but I'm not sure if you meant it to be funny LOL

Pinkskates, thank you for your response! No more coconut oil as a heat protectant anymore. I will try that brand you recommended once my Rusk is almost done. I need to go back 15 pages and read up on this tension method thing everyone is raving about BTW you should start your own "How to straighten natural hair" website and charge us $10 a month LOL


oh that was a joke, please don't charge us any money LMAO


I will do my hair on Dec 20th..... and I will take pics....And - after I snapped the Hair Dryer pic, I thought the girls here would love it.... :lachen:Yes - It was meant to be funny......(Funny Hahha)

I would be Crushed if Pink did that..:computer::lachen:
 
Forgive me, but I just have to ask....:blush:

the sock diffuser. Could you just put something, say,...errr... a sock on the end of your dryer??

This community I live in now is not very ethnically diverse so I anticipate I wont be able to find it when i go out tomorrow.

i hate having to pay shipping charges more than or equal to the item I order, so i thought I would ask before i break down.


Actually - That is EXACTLY where you can find a Hot Sock..... The Hood BSS won't have them.... But those BSS that serve straighter haired clientele WILL have them...

I am guessing I live in the same kind of neighborhood you live in.... Found it with no problem.
 
Yes indeed! You will find the hot sox at upscale beauty supply stores only. The industry always caters to the health of "their" hair care first and foremost.
 
Actually. I just left from Sally's and they have one that's comparable. It's not called "hot sock," but it looks just like the picture of the hot sock for sell on Amazon. They had it behind the counter.


Yes.... It is much thinner than the hotsock though......
 
I love this thread! I feel so left out of most of the challenges because I can't walk out the house with my hair looking funky. My hair broke off more when I used no heat and no manipulation. After my run in with DIY hair I've kind of entrusted it to a stylist so I haven't done it myself, but I do want to try your tension method. I haven't straightened my hair in over 7 months(weaves). So in January I definitely want to try. Is somebody going to start a naturals that straighten challenge for 09? Or just a naturals challenge? I would definitely join!!

Hi missdemi...
I will not be doing a natural hair challenge...having natural hair is such a personal decision, that I personally would not want to challenge anyone to make that kind of decision. But I will be updating and revealing my new length next month; which will be my final Hair album.
And I will include every pic of my natural hair journey. And share all of my knowledge on how I maintain my hair in its natural state and how I maintain it when its pressed straight.
Have a fun hair journey!:yep:

Oh no, i luv LHCF too much to leave.:yep:
It's just that my new hair album will include my entire hair journey. And I don't plan on making anymore Hair fotki albums after that. It's very time consuming maintaining a fotki and answering all of the emails. I have 23 email questions right now that I have not had a chance to respond to.:spinning:
So...i'm gonna do my best to sum up everything in my January '09 album.
My hair is approaching waist length and that is my final hair goal; so after this album I wont have a reason to do any more hair length updates.

Hey Pink! :hiya:
I just read all 169 posts and I think I'm ready for a transition in 2009! Like Nike I'm just going to do it. With all the information you ladies have shared I truly inspired. I've been wanting to go natural, especially after Vegas, and keep my hair straightened most of the time. I'm a bit more confident now thanks to you guys! Y'all are always amazing!!!:grin:

My gift to myself is going to be a decent blowdryer and a hot sock! :grin:

It's so cute! It looks really warm and comfortable... It kinda has that 1960's look to it. Like, maybe Diana Ross used one back in the day when she ruled the Motown charts. I luv old-school looking stuff!:yep:

It stopped heating up one day...But - I tried it again - and it did....

But - I have 2 Back ups!:drunk:

It depends on the condition of your hair, your flat-ironing skills and how well your hair tolerates direct heat. If you do decide to do it, be mindful that you are dealing with 2 different textures of hair, and direct heat adds stress to the fragile line of demarcation.
 
PRETTY PLEASE!!!!....... Can someone help me find that Sebastian Wood Comb?!
I can't find it anywhere, and definitely don't see it online. I can feeeeel the relaxing effects of it on my scalp right now. :drunk:
Will be much appreciated. This will be my little Christmas gift.

I know...so many ladies have asked me about that comb, and no one can find it. I'm going to contact a distributor and see what I can find out...I'll be back with some info...I luv that comb so much!:yep:
 
i know im late in this thread, but i found out if i put my hair in a bun work workout, keep it in the bun and tie it down when i get home (i cant have my silk scarf on in uniform), my hair stays straight when i workout
