Still heat free here too. My hair is thriving, very, very well.

Recently I wiped the dust off my flat iron's box. My friend came over and she wanted to use my hair dryer, and we had to hard time finding it. I forgot where I had stored it...lol
 
Hang in there ladies. You all are going to have some fantabulously, amazing benefits from avoiding heat for such an extended period. :yep:
 
Going to Vegas this weekend and I am extremely tempted to straighten. I won't but i can't lie, right about now i would love to. I've been heat free since October or November maybe and i'm feeling a little weak today :lol:
 
Still heat free! I did an overnight braid out which stretched my hair nice enough to see length and have a nice fluffy fro. I've been wearing my hair in a gelled puff these past few days, dressing it up with accessories-loving it. :yep:

Be strong, you can keep on keepin' on! We're right here with you. Now invision all that progress you'll have made by year's end. :love: :yep:
 
Still hanging in there even after my lapse in January. No desire to straighten again since my hair is braided up. I'm going through a personal two month challenge till mid-May in hopes of giving my hair the rest it needs.

Awesome! I've considered braids but man I don't have the patience to sit through that anymore.
 
Je Ne Sais Quoi - I'm sorry to relay some bad news... I broke this challenge last night :ohwell: ... however, I did go 6 months without heat (Since September 2011).

My ends were just getting too tangly and knotty. I don't think I can stick with anything when it comes to hair. :skitzo:

6 months is awesome!!!! Will you go back to no heat or are you back to usage? You gotta do what makes your hair happy :)

Yes, I'm thinking about doing the once a month heat usage routine. I'm starting to believe I suffered heat damage last year because of the use of grease with the flat iron and from not smoothing my ends each time before flat ironing. Last night, I used just Fantasia ic Heat Protectant Serum only and got great results. I also decided to gently comb through the ends and smooth with my fingers before flat ironing each section to avoid crinkled up ends. The flat iron also didn't make that singeing sound like it did with grease. So hopefully this works for me. I just got tired of twisting my hair every night (I sometimes did the pineapple, but my hair wouldn't turn out as neat in the morning).
 
Good luck!!!! Your hair is gorgeous so I look forward to seeing your updates! If you want to go heat free again you can always come on back
 
Happy heat free to me. Today is my three month anniversary of being heat free :yahoo: Now I am looking into to learning how to thread. They say it straightens natural hair as well as heat. Really excited to see where this heat free journey leads now :happydance:
 
Y'all crazy. :look:

Still heat free. This is the easiest challenge I have ever been in and know I will have no problems staying in until December. I am too lazy to twist my hair let alone blow dry and flat iron. I am still hoping I will get the necessary motivation needed to try curlformers for a trim in June.
 
okay...can I come back and join you ladies? I haven't had my hair heat styled again since that one time in January, and I recently got a hair cut to get rid of those pesky ends, so I'm in a great place to start over. I have no reason or desire to use heat, and I want to get through the rest of the year heat free.

prettybyrd yes of course!

How is it going ladies? We are coming up on mid April now. Man! Time is really flying!
 
I've been on hiatus from the forum but I'm back! As of tomorrow, I will be 1 year w/o any heat. Good thing, I don't have any desire to use heat & my hair is hidden 95% of the time.
 
Not using any heat but I'm really tempted to get out the hooded dryer to do a roller set. Must fight the urge.
 
Still heat free. I'm even doing DC with a processing cap on while I workout. Talk about killing two birds with one stone. :)
