Sealing The Ends Tip 2
This is what I call 'ends sealing'. I have used this technique on myself and the clients whose hair I braid. After conditioning & towel squeezing, I section the hair and apply a medium sized amount of pressing oil (Use a light oil) While my hair is still damp, I fold aluminum foil over the ends. then I take a hot non-electric bumper curlers or flat iron and clamp it over the aluminum foil for 5-7 seconds. The temperature is not high but only fairly warm, just enough heat to lock in the oils penetrating the hair shaft. I make sure I only cover the aluminum not the hair. This will help a great deal with your ends if your ends have been constantly dry. The ends will soon stop shedding because you're locking in moisture down to the cortex also.
Does anyone use this technique and what have been your results? Also does it have to be a *non-electric* device or could it be an electric iron that I could use? PLease help!!
