Naturals & Transitioners..I have a question.

How long after a professional blow out does your hair start reverting?

Do you use any products that could slow down the reversion?

I wanna get Aveda Anti-Humectant. I was thinking it could slow down the reversion time being it takes away moisture and frizz from your hair.

What do you think?

Depends on what I'm doing. If I sweat/workout etc, the roots will revert immediately. The rest of my hair will revert slightly throughout the day. I have never had sleek hair. Ever. My reversion starts as a body wave then by day 4 or 5 it has pure curled parts, like I set it on rollers and my roots are napped up again.

Seriously, that is what I am afraid of! (quick reverting)

If my hair could last 4-5 days after a professional salon blow out and flat iron, I'll be happy.

Then I can probably lay low with some cornrows for the next 3 weeks.

I'll figure it out. My 4b hair is something else!

See that blowout in my avatar? Left the salon looking like that....

After an upsetting moment at the tire place an hour or so later, I started sweating in my hair and by the time I got home another hour or so later, my roots, still soft, started shrinking and my hair shrunk from below my ear to about a little below my eyeline.... Sigh....

Granted, my stylist blew dry and flat-ironed. It might have stayed longer if she had pressed it....

But I think it's realistic for me to recognize that my natural hair straightened is not going to act the exact same way as my relaxed hair did...especially on humid days....
