I’ve never been a fan of straight hair, even when I had a perm I rarely wore my hair straight. I just don’t like it, I think it makes my head look big lol. I chopped all my permed hair off in May of 2010 and haven’t had to worry about straight hair since. For the New Year I decided to make my first attempt at straightening my hair. My daughter loves wearing her hair straight, so I take her to the Dominicans all the time, but I HATE salons. I’ve always done my own hair, it was therapeutic. When I had a perm I could rollerset my hair into a new style every night. After I chopped my all hair off I found therapy in painting my nails instead cause like I said I hate salons. So I reopened my hair salon at took a stab at going straight minus the insane amount of heat that they use in real salons.

| The BEFORE uncombed hair |
 |
| Since my hair is kinda short I put it into four ponytails & roller set the ends |
 |
| Rollers removed & my hair almost instantly wanted to start curling back up |
 |
| No time to deal with the hair that morning, into a ponytail she went until the afternoon |
 |
| Went over it with my daughters CHI on low heat |
 |
| Realized that I dont cut my ends nearly as often as I need to, they were a mess |
 |
| A layered hair cut that Im diggin |
 |
| Didnt want to apply any more heat so I keep it in rollers when Im at home chillaxin |

So pretty...love your hair curly but straight hair looks pretty darn good too, I can't believe you did it yourself...fabulosity!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! I've decided this year not to straighten my hair at all this year except to trim!
ReplyDeleteMuy Bonita Chica!!! I've decided to flat iron quarterly...special occasions only. The ceramic irons tend to permanently straighten hair. I think ima switch back to the Gold n Hot metal plated iron. The heat isn't as drastic and doesn't permanently straighten.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies! Oh how I would cry if I wet my hair and it didnt "fro up" I would promptly chop it all back off!!!
ReplyDeleteNo, stick with ceramic. It heats more evenly and is better for the hair cuticle. Just use a lower temp. The regular Gold N Hot appliances are cheap, and thus don't get as hot as the pricier ceramic brands. Thats why it may seem they arent as damaging, but really that metal will probably cause more split ends. Any heat appliance can temporarily or even permanently loosen the natural curl. You just have find the right temp of heat that doesn't cause that to your hair. It's different for everyone.
