Failed flat iron attempt / 2 years 6 months length check / Hair Frustrations

[IwanAcleverUtubeName]

I tried to straighten mines recently as well and had the same results. I blame it on not using superior tools. The year before I had my maxiglide and used the comb plate with steam burst to replenish moisture in my hair. It came out beautifully. This year I had a rinky-dink revlon flat iron, lol. Someone suggested bantu knot-outs I think I'll try that next time too. Good luck on your maintenance!

@IwanAcleverUtubeName I was thinking about buying a maxiglide. I do have a better flat iron but its in another state with a family member so I had to go buy a cheap temporary replacement. It does make a difference when you have a good tool.

I like to do flat twists or Bantu knots when my hair is in that state.

@blackbeautie09 Bantu Knots would have been perfect. I should have tried but I definitely will next time. Thanks for the ideas.

braid & curl or twist & curl to save it, nice growth

@bellanatural01 I didn't even think to try those styles on my hair when I straightened it, lol. I think I was just so frustrated that it was still puffy after flat ironing. Thanks for the ideas.
