Yall, She Dun Tried to Flat Iron Her Own Hair !(pics to see)

[PuffyBrown]

Hey,

I flat ironed my hair today for the very first time EVER!

I turned out okay. Not salon quality but I am very happy that I tried it. I need some practice cause I did not even get the roots flat. They are still puffy but the overall style still looks good.

I'm glad you posted these photos. I tried to blowdry my hair for the first time ever and I was worried I damaged it. Looking at just your blowdry picture, I see that my results were similar to yours which makes me feel better about my work.

Did you follow a particular flat ironing technique? What heat protectants did you use? And most importantly - did you get that salon SWANG to your hair?

Thank so much everyone, You dont know how encouraging those words are to me.

IvyHair_ I did not follow a pattern per se'. After I wash I let put in leave ins and protectant, today I used Lacio Lacio, Carols Daughter Hair Balm, and Nexxus Heat Protexx. I just make like six sections and start with a cold air dryer. When the water is out than I will give it a couple heat blast to make it silky. Hair was most def swangin, I could get used to this.

Dayumm Stella! That style is hella cute!! Go gurl, I'm loving that flip! You did a great job your first time out. How did you get your hair so "swingy?"
