Yeah I'm done with those for a while. I know they were the culprit.
I like flexirods so much better over those rough, super hard perm rods. They are a **little** easier to sleep on than perm rods too.
See and I think perm rods are easier to sleep on because at least they lay down flat. Lol the flexi rods stick out everywhere I can't even put my head to the pillow.
I know what you're talking about with them sticking up. I wish they made shorter flexi rods because once you fold them, it's like 3 pieces! But I only use 6-10 at a time, so it's not too bad. I just love how smooth and soft, almost velvety, they are. I don't fear for my ends when I use them like I do with perm rods (even with the paper wraps)!
Is she using Kerastase products from start to finish?
How's your curl pattern holding up?
Yes. I am on an Anti Humidity regimen, but this week she used the Therapiste line to strengthen my hair. One thing I notice is that the strengthening line makes my hair super shiny and it's bone straight. The anti humidity line leaves me with a little texture (like soft yaki).
It still curls when wet, but water makes my curls stretch out a lot. As it dries it shrinks back. I'm 4b with o shaped coils, but when wet they look like s coils
Maybe you answered this already but is there any way you could learn to start doing your own straightening. That way you control how much heat and the pricing.
I was once a week-ish, about 7-10 days. High blow dryer, medium flat iron. Never over 350 unless I wanted pin straight hair that didn't fluff up. I also had to wrap super tight nightly.
Once a week, tops. In the winter it's easier to stretch it longer.
Kerastase has 2 good ones. Nutri Thermique and Keratine Thermique. They are pricy, but my blowouts last a good 2 weeks sometimes longer. I use the thermiques as a moisturizer too.
