Aww you're so cute! I've never used hair spray before either. Does it make your hair hard?

Doomed. Unless you burn your hair straight. Hey, that's just how I feel.
I think a good Dominican Blowout can stand up to almost anything. Sometimes it's too good lol...my hair has definitely been heat trained by the Dominicans. You should be ok for at least a few days. Make sure you wrap or pin curl each night.
Poohbear said:I tried a new product on my natural hair for blowdrying and flatironing. The product is called It's A 10 miracle leave-in product. I tried this after a stylist in Cali used it on my hair. It made my hair really soft, full, and flexible. Here are the results which I really liked:

TopShelf. Thanks for this. I keep blowing through serums because I don't like how they feel, seem drying or don't fight reversion long. I'm not a CD fan but will try it. how does it feel: heavy? Oily/greasy? Would be nice to get more than 4 days before I have to twist...TopShelf said:I recently (Sat) got my hair straightened. She pressed the roots and flat ironed the shaft. She use the carols daughter macadamia serum and my hair is still straight as of today. She placed it in my hair while it was damp and then blowdried it with a brush using the tension method. There was absolutely no frizz on sat and it was %96 humidity here. Only the edges have began to revert because I keep getting it wet when I wash my face.

As expensive as that stuff is, it better not revert! Your hair looks gorgeous! They did a great job!
I haven't had time to read through this entire thread yet (I'm working on it) but I have a couple of questions. If anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it.
-What is the best product line for maintaining straight hair (damage repair)?
-If I chose to roller set (airdry) and flat iron every month on a low temp, would this be damaging?
-How do you keep your edges from reverting in the shower? Is there a special material I can use that won't absorb water?
-How often do you moisturize and with what?
-I'm assuming straightening my hair more often will equal more protein treatments, and hard protein treatments like aphogee?
What are some good store brand temporary straightening products/smoothing treatments?

My last straightening could've lasted 2 weeks or more but i was afraid to touch it up.
Im thinking it would be okay if the heat was just at a lower temp than the temp used to actually straighten.

Kindheart said:I m a firm believer that if you straighten every week ,no matter how much DC and treatments you get ,your hair eventually will lose a bit of its curl so you ll be forced to straighten it all the time as otherwise won't look good .
My hair is in the 3 range and i suffered from heat damage when i was straightening my hair twice a week as it wouldn't stay straight due to high levels of humodity in the air ,had to cut off a good chunck of my hair in order to make it look good curly ,i had 4 inches random straight ends that didn't match my curly/wavy hair .
Oh and DO Not use Carols daughter hair balm as a heat protectant ..i think it contributed to fry my hair.
