I've made no secret of the fact that I prefer to wear my hair straight but the last couple of times I tried to straighten it I didn't get my desired results. Recently I bought a new flat iron (Revlon Perfect Heat ceramic 1 inch) and tried a new technique for straightening and I LOVE the results. I've been trying not to use a lot of heat on my hair and up until flat ironing the other day it's been going pretty well.
Anyway, this is what I did:
- Washed and condition my hair with Herbal Essences Hello Hydration moisturizing shampoo and conditioner
- Then I detangled my hair and parted into about 6 sections, braided and let it airdry
- I got impatient so I took the braids out before the hair was totally dry (in the future I'll let it dry overnight instead of trying during the day)
- After I took the braids out I used a round brush and blow dryer to straighten/stretch my roots
- Then I took small sections and flat ironed my hair
The only product I used after washing was
Cantu Shea Butter leave in
conditioning repair
cream. Afterward I just wrapped my hair and tied it in a scarf for bed. Pictures to follow.
