Questions About Heat Protectants & Blowing Out Hair

[CurlyNiquee]

I am thinking about blowing out my hair for the first time and have no idea about heat protectants or where to start.. erplexed

What heat protectant works best for you? What rules do you follow when blowing your hair out?

Yesterday, after all these years of being natural, I found the best technique for blowdrying my 4a/b hair.

After washing, detangling, conditioning, and rinsing, I let my hair dry in a turbie twist towel. My hair was in two braids on each side of my head.

I unravelled one side, divded it into three sections (which were the three sections within the braid). Starting with the back section, I applied Fantasia ic Heat Protector Straightening Serum. I used a knock-off denman brush to distribute the serum and then I blowdried the section with my gold colored Andis Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer with a comb attachment. After blowdrying that section, I braided it. I did this to my entire head ending up with 6 braided sections. Now you can decide how you want to style your hair. I did a braidout. Hope that helps.

I have a question
If your leave in states that it protects against heat do you still need to use a heat protectant?

I personally prefer Nioxin Bliss as a heat protectant. No matter what the other products say about being a heat protectant, I always use an additional heat protectant like Nioxin.

I have a video of my technique here: http://youtu.be/Nl7YRN475b8

I use the Redkin Smooth Down Heat Protectant. Best protectant I've ever used for my hair.

I use Profectiv MegaGrowth lotion after I rinse out my deep conditioner; I put some in my hair and let it air dry for about 20-30 minutes, then I blow dry for 5-8 minutes. The Air drying first, blow drying second method works better for me, as I am trying to cut back of flat ironing.

On the bottle, it does say it protects against damage from heat styling, but just as a back up, I use KMS FlatOut Blow Dry lotion(white and purple bottle).

Cold air blow drying that's what I do

the only heat I use is my steam straightener or my Instyler
