hi
first, use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner (make sure you deep-condition w/heat for 20-30 minutes.) use a leave-in conditioner which you can mix with a couple of drops of oil or a good foam (ex-kerakare, silk 2, design essentials). part your hair in small sections (2x4) and use hand held blowdryer w/a comb attachment (small teeth) and have a spray bottle to keep hair damp. after drying (not bone dry) use a serum like (silk essentials) and then you can use a large curling iron (1") or a flat-iron to further smooth your hair. last, wrap your hair AND tie it up w/a SILK scarf. an alternative to this method is a rollerset(use the same method to prepare your hair as if you were getting ready to blow dry it)when your set is dry apply a serum and blow dry your hair smooth.you can also wrap if you chose to (please don't think i've lost my whole entire mind for suggesting this but when you take your rollerset down you can wrap your hair and then (here goes) put saran wrap around the wrap and sit under a warm dryer for 5-10 minutes) you will be amazed...i know that i was...my hair was like
i was hooked after my hairdresser did this method....yep, she's the
one. i hope this helped.....cheerio !!!

thanks ladylibra 30. so how many passes over each section does it take to dry your hair and do you part it from ear to ear in sections like that? also what is your reason for not drying it all the way in the beginning. sorry for all the questions. i appreciate your response! that celophane method sounds interesting. supergirl, what have been your results with that? you mentioned your styist does the same thing.

Saran wrap, huh?
... Ok, I'll be experimenting with this when I return to roller sets (minus the blow dryer step however
... unless it's an ionic one
)
hhmmm, now I thinking
... I bet the saran wrap would work beautifully for over night hot oil & conditioning treatments... instead of the plastic cap that always comes off

The Saran Wrap sounds like it works great. I'd love to give it a try. I can only imagine trying to put the Saran Wrap around my own head/hair (not easy). If I asked someone other than an experienced LHCF member, they'd probably think I were

I'm gonna try this also...but Peachtree don't do it overnight. I tried with a plastic cap one time and I sweated under the plastic and my hair was frizzed the next morning(too much moisture)...think jerri culs and how the moisture from wearing the plastic cap made the curls moist...
but it sounds great using it under the hair dryer. I'm may try this tonight to 'freshen' my flat iron. Then I'll remove the saran wrap and wear a silk scarf overnight...

hi soslychic:
sweetie, to be honest w/you i don't actually know "how many strokes w/the dryer that i take on each section" i just blow dry the section until it's about 95% dry using medium heat(when you are through blow-drying switch to cool setting to seal hair) by the time i get to the front/crown the back has air dried. yes, i part from ear to ear and start from the back...it's very important to use a serum, dry (small) sections at a time because this method gives you the sleekness, shine, smoothness, and bounce that you want to achieve. hth!!

Okay I tried this last night, I applied some wildgrowth oil to the ends., wrapped my hair and secured it with one of those triangular hairnets..then did the saran wrap(I put a plastic cap over this because it felt like it was going to slip off) I sat under the dryer for 15 minutes. Removed the plastic cap and saran wrap. Let the hair net on my hair for another 15 minutes and ......
yes it works well. My flat ironed hair looked fresh and it smoothed down the slight frizzies I had on the ends from the humidity...(I was doing the 'toss' with my hair...like in the Herbal Essence's commercials!...

I was wondering, could the saran wrap be helping to intensify the heat by utilizing the body's heat along with heat from the dryer to more effectively cause the products to get deeper into the cuticle of the hair? I know at some of the spas there are some body treatments that use a wrapping method to help the treatments to penetrate the skin more effectively, which is making wonder...hum-m-m

I can back:
1. A gentle shampoo (I like Jason Naturals Jojoba)
2. A deep conditioning (w/ Saran Wrap is a good thing)for 30 min. using a good conditioner - if it's avocado based it's even better
3. A sphritz of leave-in(some are raving about Lacio Lacio and I can't wait to find out what it's all about) or I like smoothing Biosilk serum (or Keracare silken seal as someone else on this thread mentioned)on wet hair before roller setting.
4. A smooth roller set on magnetic rollers
5. Once your hair is dry, section hair in 1-inch horizontal strips working back to front and then sides to blowdry hair using Denman straightening brush D79 and a Solano hair dryer. Usually I don't need to use my flat iron after I've done this.
Then if you want you can finish w/ a ceramic flat iron and I'm telling you, your hair will have the silky bounce you want
