@Beamodel

Sounds Very Nice. :love:

Please give me the steps for your successful Blow-Out.:up:

I would like to 'attempt' one soon.

I can honestly see myself as a Heat-Trained Natural if I could get the results I want.
 
@IDareT'sHair

After this blow out I just did, I totally can see myself being a heat trained natural too.

I blew it out with the attachment at the end of my blow dryer. Using my paddle brush and blowing my hair at the same time. This created a sleek blown out looking hair.

Then I pressed it with my babyliss flat iron. I thought I was gonna have to use my hot comb too but nope, the flat iron was good enough.

Oh after I washed & Dc'd, I only added KeraCare silk n seal to my hair then I blew dried it out.

I don't have any other product in my hair besides a good DC session and the silken seal.
 
@Beamodel

Sounds very nice. :thankyou:

I am sooooooooooo Excited.:supergrin:

Thank you for sharing.:kiss:

From what I've read, minimal products produce the greatest results. So it's understandable why you only used the Silk n Seal.

That sounds great, especially since you DIY (did it yourself).

I was/am (have been) contemplating whether to have it done at a Salon?

But I have all the tools/products here, so I really need to experiment.

Again, my Thanks to You:sneakyhug: This was right on time.
 
@Beamodel

Imma give it a try:yep:.

You really inspired me to DIM (do it myself).:2inlove:

What good is having ALL this stuff but going to someone (and paying them) to do it for me?:perplexed:

I have some Joico Blow Dry Crème, I'll probably use that and maybe a drop or two of Grapeseed Oil.

I wish I woulda' gotten that Apoghee Green Tea & Keratin Restructurizer a couple weeks ago when I saw it on the 'cheap':ohwell:
 
My BoBeam (unscented) DC'er came today.

Also, my Kj Naturals "Tingly" Oil which I snatched up during the 50% off FLASH SALE (for the 1st 10 orders).

This is the first time I've been able to get in on one of those. I also want a back up to the Tingly DC'er.

So, hopefully, they'll have another 50% Flash Sale soon.
 
@Beamodel Thank you for the rundown of how you achieved your results. I blow dried/flat ironed my hair last month to trim and it was a mess. In retrospect, I believe I used too much product.

It took me over 2 hours to flat iron :eek: and I just wanted to scream. I really underestimated how much hair I have... especially now that I made 12 months post. I'm not sure when I'll use direct heat again. After that mess, I just gave up.
 
@IDareT'sHair Hey T! :) Girl, I've been hanging in there lol. I've been going through a lot personally but I'm still giving my hair some TLC when I have the energy. My nape and my edges are natural now. I had stopped relaxing them way before this stretch.

I just gave away a bag of products to my friend who's been struggling with her hair. I'm just trying to find a way to lessen my wash day time. Some days I really have the urge to just cut my hair off, especially when it's wet. Then I realize I wouldn't know what to do with really short hair, so I put it up in a twist and KIM.
 
@flyygirlll2
Glad you haven't done anything drastic. Hope things get better for you.:kiss:

That was nice for you to share some items in your stash.:yep:

I bet that made you feel good to help someone and reduce some things too.

I'm still hanging with being about 53-54 weeks post?
 
@IDareT'sHair Thanks hun, I'm hoping things look up soon. The shrinkage is real. The moment I saw how short it would be with shrinkage, I snapped out of it lol.

My friend was grateful. She's natural and unfortunately experienced heat damage when she went to the salon. I have her protein treatments, DC's, shampoos, leave in's, and moisturizers. It put only a little dent in my stash since I still have a lot of stuff but I was happy to help her. 9/30 made it a year for me, I still can't believe I managed to get this far.
 
@flyygirlll2

I know, it put just a 'little dent' in that stash.

But, hey, we get what we can get!:laugh:

I know me either.:eek: And it seems like that time has flown by too.:look:

I know I'm approximately 10 weeks @divachyk that's how I keep up with it.

I normally hate to blow dry my hair. I'm normally an air dryer but blow drying it with that flat attachment makes the world of a difference and using my paddle brush to stretch it while I'm using the blow dryer.

I was about to give up too but girl I truly feel like I'm rocking a fresh relaxer with this bone straight blow out/silk press I'm rocking lol.

@Beamodel

This is so Encouraging!:bling:

Did you use your TEK Brush or a Vent Brush?
 
I would be scared to use a spiral one only bc it might tangle in your hair blowing with the dryer and brushing with the other hand. I would just use the Tek brush then. The point of the brush is to stretch it and detangle so it will dry semi smooth.

Once it's semi smooth, the flat iron will make it super silky.

Oh I pressed my hair with one pass too.

My hair is currently wrapped up (haven't wrapped it in such a long time) but tomorrow when I take it down, I will upload a picture for you.

@Beamodel

I might just use the Comb Attachment? That might make it easier?

If not I might try it with the TEK Brush?

I did order a Hands Free Blow Dryer Stand:look: so I can give it my All.:lachen:
 
@IDareT'sHair

A hands free blow dryer stand should be nice.

Yea that attachment that comes with the dryer (the flat attachment, not the diffuser) that thing makes it wonderful.
