Would You Guys Try This Process? (Naturals, Stretchers)

I'm late, but LOL @ "are you currently wearing a relaxer?"

"No, not at the moment, but I did wear one last Tuesday."

From reading one of her responses to someone on facebook it's just a good flat iron and silicone products, I get my hair like the clients all the time.

Nichi, could you ask the woman what she uses?

Just a bump.

Proper shampoo and conditioner is a must followed by a serum and thermal protectant but the work is all in the iron... Clean hair is a must... I luv mizani chelating and purifying shampoo for a deep cleaning and use sebastian penetrait and drench shampoo and conitioners I usually cocktail them, for the blowout i use a serum by exo and cocktail it with proclaim setting lotion and during the straigtening will mist shining example an exo product and a thermal protectant from design essentials over the section of hair but its all in the iron

That what was taken off of a FB pic.. I hope this is allowed

totally forgot about this thread, sorry gorgeous, I'm going to ask her over fb inbox and let you know what she says in her response.

Thanks, Nichi.

I'm really wondering if she uses a regular flat iron or the Milstan one. Is it bad that with all those details, I still want more info?

Thanks ROBOTxcore for bumping this interesting thread. Wow her hair looks very beautiful. I shall not be doing it though as I think you may be able to get the same results or very similar to them with a flat iron without it being permanence of this process (as I can’t imagine my hair reverting back).

He also explained that Kinky was a termed used by whites and is a negative word, black hair even the most textured hair is really just very very curly.

"Even the most textured hair is really just very very curly." I do agree with him on that. But that is precisely what the word kinky means, very very curly. I think people mistake the word "kinky" to mean frizzy.

And he hasn't met me who got so bored of pressed hair that I could not wait to wear it kinky as I'd squash that idea that I'd never want to be curly again. I love that I have that choice but I'm grateful to be able to switch back to my coils as fast as I want them back.

Pray tell, is he saying that you'd never want your hair back as a prediction of what happens when you get your hair that straight? :scratchch

But I do have to agree with him "wet-to-dry" presses are da bidness. My presses would be lousy if I didn't do them this way. I just prefer to use a wet heat protectant as the liquid and not water. While for years I pressed wet-to-dry with just water, I think one's more likely to burn one's hair doing it that way and thus never get it to revert. Heat protectants are my new love.

all of the above was very interesting

Came out very nice...but it looks like my daughter's hair did when she got it straightened for a trip. Nothing but a good wash and press.

Thanks, Nichi.

*shrugs* that looks like what I used to do every week with my trusty electric hot comb for the roots and ceramic flat iron. No magic, just the right technique. I used to have to convince people that I was natural.

Does someone HAVE to blowdry before pressing/flat ironing to get it that straight and silky?

No, I could do a braid-out doing like 14 braids in my head, allow my hair to air-dry over night and then just go straight to flat ironing. That would cut down on the heat nicely but that would take way longer, blow drying is quick n easy lol

Also if you have a softer hair type like in the 3s then I imagine you could do a rollerset or airdry it in like 4 braids or just leave it loose (not an option for me) and then cut straight to flat ironing.

My usual routine was to blow dry focusing on the roots, press the roots with an electric hot comb (this was a necessary step for my very coily hair) and then flat iron the length of my hair with a 100% ceramic/tourmaline ceramic iron. If I really took my time and did tiny sections, my hair would come out just like the girl in the facebook album....its all in the technique

To answer the OP's question, no, I wouldn't do this technique, I don't like irons that come from an oven that are made of metal going on my hair. Metal heats unevenly and has hot spots that lead to damage. Strictly ceramic for me.

I swear, folx aren't going to be satisfied until they burn every last strand of hair out of their heads in the search for silky smoothness. And this is coming from someone that's been relaxed and texlaxed since the 70s.

I wonder what salons use Marcel irons. Also, when I went to Milstan's website, I couldn't find the Pro Stove for the Feather Flat iron. Would any stove do?

This (at least for me) needed a hair porn warning. Man my heart skipped a beat!! Her hair is beautiful, and I can't get over the shine. What in the world did she use on her hair? It's soooo pretty!!!
