Great tutorials!!!!! I am going to try your bun tutorial this weekend since I think I have enough hair now that I can make my own bun. I love your flat iron tut, I want to try the teflon tape since my CHI does not have heat setting

Is the PM Straight Works also a heat protectant?

Is the PM Straight Works also a heat protectant?

It doesn't say it directly on the package but it is since it contains silicones it is a heat protectant.

Silicones: When applied to the hair, silicone wraps around the hair shaft preventing what’s inside from going out and what’s outside from going in. Silicone molecules are too large to be absorbed into the hair shaft, so they act as a protective coating. For this reason, silicone hair products are great for retaining moisture in hair and for making hair resistant to outside influences such as heat and UV sun rays.

Beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing

So when you use teflon tape on your iron, how often must you replace it?

Wow! I never thought of that. Hmmmm. It's definitely worth a try. The tape is only $20 and it can't hurt.

If it make a great iron better than I don't see why it can't make an ok iron better.

I used Keracare Intensive Restorative Mask. It's wonderful especially for really dry hair.

DSD can you recommend a similar product that cost less?

Okay...dumb question time...


When I Google Teflon Tape I come up with a product used for plumbing repair. Is this the same product? If not, could someone produce a link to a place where the correct item can be purchased? TIA.

I want to do that bun!

I wish I had seen that tutorial before I BC'd. I could have definitely done it then because my hair was longer... and I could have used it to transition longer.

I'm thining of doing this with kinky textured hair on the doughnut. Hopefully I can get my hair into a decent ponytail while it's wet, freshly detangled and malleable.

Thank you for making the tutorials!!

Here you go, Essensual

I really couldn't tell you. I have never seen telfon tape from a hardware store. Here is where I get mine from from. http://www.braziliankeratin.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=178

Great idea to wrap the donut. I have never worn my donut bun outside the house because I could not get my relaxed hair to cover the mesh. I have not tried to use it since 2/2008.

I don't have any braiding hair handy (only some 2/4/8 colored tracks from 2007) but I am gonna play with it tonight.

Hi Ladies!

Have have put a couple of new tutorials up on Youtube. I did one on making a bun for shorter hair and one on flatironing transitioning hair.

I have used a lot of products and I have never used one that compares to this one. I can't even think of a maybe. This one stands alone.

 

[simplie_lovable]

Wow, you are good. Thanks for all the videos. I love how you blow dried her hair.

Has anyone tried the Remington flat iron that comes with the teflon already on it?? I saw it at Target yesterday and wanted someones opinion on it. Should I get that or should I just get the teflon and put it on the iron I already have?? DSD what do you think??

I would just suggest you getting the tape on the iron you have already. I have never heard anything about the Remington iron with teflon.
