| Professionally straight! |
S - T - R - A - I - G - H - T !!!
I have not posted about natural hair in a while. I am still all natural. I guess my hair has been sort of boring lately! The good thing about the boring life of my hair is, that it has given my hair a chance to grow. I have just been washing it and not adding any heat. Just twist outs or pulling it back into a puff.
However for my 30 year high school class reunion, I decided that I would get it professionally straighten. For the past 3 years, I have gotten a protein treatment about once a year. It helps my hair to stay straight even during the hot summer months. There is no way that I could get my hair to stay straight without the protein treatment. However once I have the treatment, I do have my little routine to straighten it after I wash it.
Here are the steps in pictures:
 |
| Divide shampooed hair into 4 sections. Add mixture-half rice vinegar & water. Then just t-shirt towel dry. |
 |
| Blow Dryer - low budget as you can see! |
 |
| Blow dry each section while damp, no oil. The water and vinegar adds protection, and evaporates out. |
 |
| Electric brush - love this thing!!!! |
 |
| Add a little oil to the section. "Brush" with the electric brush. Repeat for each section. |
 |
| Flat iron - how did we live without these? |
 |
| Flat iron and curl a mini section within each section and roll it out of the way. Repeat until finish. |
 |
| Take rollers out and style. Not professional, but alright! |
