All this talk about LUST--I couldn't wait til this weekend, so I gave in and did my hair last night.
So far, this is my personal prescription for the best flat-ironed hair I've ever had.
1. Shampoo with the best moisturizing, detangling shampoo you can find followed by an AV rinse: I used Keracare.
2. Apply a cholesterol/moisturizing treatment to lubricate, moisturize, and thereby protect the strands from heat: I used Wella Kolestral for at least 20 minutes under a dryer (warm [not hot] heat). (Next time I might try 10 en 1 cond. or Humecto.)
3. Finish with a hair smoothing treatment:
For me, LUST, followed by Biosilk Silk Therapy (both smell delicious).
4. Dry hair and comb out: Finger comb. Dry under dryer or air dry until 95% dry.
Part hair into 8 sections. Comb out gently with a wide-tooth comb. Then proceed to swipe each section about four times with a medium-low-heat dryer. (If the scalp is still not dry, get back under the hooded dryer for about 10 more minutes on cool air.) Let me just point out that the comb just fell through my hair. I was like "Oh my gawd." This is about four weeks after my touchup. My hair never detangled so well. I think this was due to the LUST, which sat for 4 minutes on my hair---I wonder what the effects would have been if I let it set for 15 minutes? Hmmmmmm.
6. Flat Iron. Now for the finish--on medium heat flat iron hair--one swipe only. Bump the ends under. Finish with a couple of drops of jojoba oil and/or hair
polish. And wrap and scarf the hair.
This morning the results were amazing--nothing but bouncy shiny hair. (I also dabbed a bit of UBH Lotion onto the hair this morning to reintroduce the moisture.) I was walking around work all day just grinning (thanks to all you
who rec'd LUST and Biosilk. Excellent products, excellent results (if I do say so myself))
Tell me what your prescription is for the best flat ironed hair you have ever had. (Any suggestions for mine?)
