I'm thinking about buying the babyliss steam flatiron. I only flatiron once every few months but when I do it, I want it to be awesome and my Remington only does an okay job. I know some natural ladies use this flatiron but does anyone know any relaxed ladies using it? Reviews?
 
Thanks everyone. I think I'm allergic to the one I use now. (Optimum heat protector)

Excuse the typos but i'm on my iPod touch

Ive only seen relaxed reviews on the Hana Titanium. I do not flat iron enough to dish out that kind of gwap :nono:

I usually flatiron for special occasions and after relaxer day and that's it. It's comes out ok but I think this flatiron is a good investment for the look I want to achieve
 
mschristine,
my friend just bought the babybliss. When she tells me how she likes it, I will tag you to let you know. I have the sephora brand and I like it, works pretty fine to me and has pretty good reviews. I have found mixed reviews on the babybliss. grp (not sure if that is how its spelled but sephora sells it) is supposed to be really good and I mentioned before the Hana is supposed to be good. I figured when I get some money I will buy a Hana because it seems really good, but that will probably be when my hair gets to long for me to become exhausted by rollersetting.
 
how soon should i relax? i'm one month post and i can't really feel my new growth but my hair is pretty short (2 inches) so i don't know how to gauge when to get a touch up...i don't want any overprocessing.

I know those with shorter hair usually go 6 weeks. It depends on you. Sometimes NG doesnt look good on short hair. Most (including myself) would not recommend relaxing so soon, however, if you really need or want to, go for it. Just start stretching more once you reach some kind of short term hair length goal.

How do you plan on wearing your hair? I went 6 months so I could have a lot of growth but I was wigging it. In retrospect I should've stopped at 16 weeks because that was way too much NG to try to get through...

Im thinking about buying it too. I have it in my cart on Amazon for 69.95 with Prime 2-day shipping. Is that a good price??

I am relaxed and flat iron lightly once a week. I use a Revlon now. It does the job on my fine strands but I think the steam would be a healthier option.

I used to have a steam iron years ago and it worked just fine. Maybe i'll see if I can dig it up instead of spending $$$
 
Babygrowth, right now I'm just wearing it straight. It's like a longer version of the Halle Berry. I don't have many options cuz it's under 3 inches :/ And I have no bangs. Which sucks. I'm hoping to have it reach a nice bob length around May but that's still a while away. I cant' stand the idea of wigs or weave.

I'm just terrified at the idea of overprocessing my hair and all my hair falls out :O But I know that I dont'w atn to look dumpy either.

Okay. Maybe just see how you feel and what your hair looks and feels like. If you can stretch it longer, go for it. Maybe 8 weeks...

Yeah, I'm hoping that the next time I do relax it, I see noticable growth. I really want to be NL by my birthday in August.

I think it's a good price. I have it in my wish list waiting so i'll probably end up getting it sometime this month.

I own the Babyliss steam iron, but don't use it often. Its too bulky to use for just flat ironing my roots. When I was flat ironing my entire head it worked very well. I had to refill the reservoir twice when flat ironing my then BSL hair. Also, sometimes the reservoir would leak a little bit (a drop here and there). Not enough to mess my hair up, but enough to annoy me. I probably should have called customer service to have it replaced. The teeth didn't do much for me, so I was glad I had the option to retract them.

All that being said, I would still suggest buying it if you plan on using it for your length.
 
Will someone please give me an e-hug and tell me that those ratty ends had to go and my hair will be great growing back post-trim? :sad: lol
 
Thank yall EnExitStageLeft, Nix08, Babygrowth :love4:
It really does look much better. Its funny though because I stay preaching about raggedy ends; I guess except on my own head huh :look: lol. My hair is almost the same thickness from root to tip :blush: so that trim was needed. :yep:


@SuchaLady

:hug3:.....Those ratty ends had to go and your hair is going to bomb, thick and lush now that they are :happydance:.

@SuchaLady :bighug: It looks fabulous now (I'm sure) and will continue to look fabulous as it grows out:yep:

@SuchaLady those scraggly ends didn't love like we love you :hug3: they had to go! We get Jealous up in here! Lol!
 
Preparing for this weekends relaxer. Wish I would have bought my silk amino acids sooner. I doubt I am finding them on the ground.

I plan to relax my hair with this next weekend once my Nexxus Emergencee arrived. This will be my third use and I love it!
 
How often do you ladies trim? I thought I just may leave mine alone in hopes that my other hair would catch up to the lead hairs. But that did not work for me. It just broke off more. I have been bunning what seems like forever and still hanging between shoulder and apl. Do you think I should bite the bullet and just trim all across blunt. Just seems like I have been down that road and still end up in the same place. Last year in May cut my hair and here I am about to do the same thing. Any advice for how to maintain once I do cut. I thought bunning was the answer but apparently not :-(((((((( Help!! Lol
