Why are you transistioning? And I say, "well, I've been wearing my hair curly for the past four months, and I'd just like to have healthier hair, so I don't want to use a chemical." I say, "I'll just use a ceramic iron when I want straight hair." I thought she would die! /images/graemlins/rofl.gif She was like, "first of all, you can have healthy hair and still use a chemical in your hair." She said "a lot of these websites are making people believe it is the chemical that's causing the damage, but it's what you are doing to your hair that causes damage." She said, "if you want to transistion, fine. But don't do it because you think having a chemical will damage your hair." She also said, that I will probably end up using a chemical down the line anyways because my hair will be very very tight, and will be very difficult to manage. She also said that if I want to use a ceramic iron, this should be done once in a blue moon, and she said "and I mean, once in a blue moon." She said that your hair begins to melt at 150 degrees, and as I already know, most ceramic irons can go up to 450 degrees! /images/graemlins/shocked.gif I questioned her about so many things, and I also told her that LHCF is a fabulous website! But she is an excellent stylist with great hair, and over 25 years of experience. I have decided to try a texturizer so that I will be able to have the best of both worlds. A few other things she mentioned were that mostly all oils are good, except for mineral oil, wetting the hair everyday will continue to dry it out more, you should wait until your hair is 80 percent dry before putting products in it, or else you will end up using way more of the product then you need, because the hair will not properly absorb it, and that you should trim your hair every couple of months in order to help control breakage.
