I need to figure out how to make my blowouts last longer than a week or 2. Sistawithrealhair keeps her hair straight for a whole month! I feel like it'll get easier to keep it straight as my hair gets longer. Ponies and buns can help extend the straightness

She uses a lot of oil. But it doesn't weigh down her hair. She does a video on how she styles it throughout the month. She does ponies, updos, braidouts, braids, etc. Her roots revert a bit, but she hides it well
 
I find that a week or so after a flatiron, my roots begin to revert and i start to get shedding and/or breakage... Similar to going too long between relaxers. Its like that same line of demarcation is present, puttg stress on the two textures

Any insights?

I had the opportunity to ask derek j abt this and he suggestd runng a blowdryer w comb thru the roots to straighten them a bit. I still got hair coming out on the comb attachment
 
Well ladies I am putting myself on a three month no heat challenge. I'm hoping I can make it! I just want to see how my hair reacts to no direct heat.
 
Im going to start prepping my hair for my blowout next week...im using aphogee greeb tea and keratin and evoo. Gotta strengthen my strands before I put any heat on it. Im going to get a dc at the salon too. Usually they access my hair and recommend protein or moisture
 
Anyone using keratin treatments to help with keeping your hair straight? If so whats your opinion on it and how has it worked for you?

I'm transitioning( 40weeks post) and I would be a straight haired natural when this is all over. I have trouble keeping my hair decent looking for more than a week
 
I got my hair washed and blown out today. The last 2 times she didn't use rollers. I like the body and curls from the rollers... pics below

Got my last ever university summer ball tomorrow. I'll be having pre drinks at around 6 and then it doesn't end till 6am!

Any tips on how to keep my hair from getting frizzy?
 
sharifeh I did a keratin treatment last week and it rained almost every day this week and it is very humid (Miami weather). My hair is still pretty straight with minimal puffiness. Keratin is here to stay for me. I'll be washing it out tomorrow

:hug2: Where you been girl?! I haven't seen you around lately. Also, what treatment are you thinking about doing?

EnExitStageLeft aww hey girlie :bighug: I've been caught up in the ET section :sekret: my hair is still braided the past month or so. But now that I'm taking them out soon, and with big chop in the not-so-distant future :look: I really want something that will help me manage my natural hair. I want to weave it up but fear my leave out will not behave so I need a treatment that will keep it straight...
 
My hair will stay almost 100% frizz free in summer as long as I DC first and flatiron in small sections.
