Not flat ironing the ends..?

[jkamiel]

I was thinking about how damaging heat can be to the ends of the hair. Has anyone tried rollersetting/airdrying and then flat ironing the length of the hair, stopping before the last like 1.5 in of hair...? And I'm natural so -- I'm sure this would be easier for those w/ relaxers n such. I'll probably try this at some point.

I was pondering this samething a few days ago..I wonder if any of the ladies here have tried this and what the result was..I hope they chime in.
I only use a my flat iron once ever 3 mos after a relaxer so I can see my true length, so I don't think it's that damaging and I use CHI heat protection.

I haven't tried...but it sounds like it would be very beneficial. May be something I will have to try once I'm off the no heat challenge.

bump. all of the ingenious things people are doin on the forum --- there's gotta be someone who's tried this.. maybe..

when i rollerset my hair i only flat iron my roots. sometimes i go a little further down but never the full hair.
