Natural Hair: Curly Girl Gone Straight...Flat Ironed Hair

Hey guys! I decided to flat iron my natural hair...it took about 5 hours but I like it...However, I do miss my curls already! I used Redkin Smooth Glide as my heat protectant, I used Tresemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture conditioner as my leave in. The flat ironed that I used is called HerStyler.

@mahoganycurls so when you started to get relaxers then your hair got shorter?

[MahoganyCurls]

@boobiedeb nope, it was a nice length,but it never reached the length was pre relaxer and the length it is now (I hope that makes sense..lol). My aunt is a beautician and she took really good care of it...I will discuss this in my hair story video (coming soon). When I started high school I cut it into an angled bob and wore that for a while...my hair was still healthy, it was just in a short haircut...then in late '08 I decided to go natural :). I feel that my hair grows faster now.

Your hair is very Beautiful!!! Has your hair ever been that long before you went natural??

[MahoganyCurls]

@boobiedeb thank you! When I was a little girl it was pretty long.

I like your rollersets much better. I think the volume is more flattering on you. Can't wait for your next rollerset video.

I think you actually look prettier with it curly..usually some girls look better with it straight

[LadyKy7]

Im not one of those girls that think girl can't grow their hair but I just wanted to ask.... Are you middle eastern or Indian (not native american)? Your features remind me of the nationality.... But either way your beautiful and your hair is sooo gorgeous!!!

I've been following you since you big chopped, and your hair growth is amazing. Your hair is beautiful.

I use avacado butter as a leave in bc my hair reacts horribly to silicones now. Avacado oil has a smoke point b/w 490 and 510F so it's good. I don't use that type of heat, but I've been using it for a few months now w/ no heat damage. I only straighten my hair 3 or 4 times a year during the winter, so keeping my curlies their curliest is ideal. Try it out! :]

Do you have a trimming schedule/regimen?

[boobiedeb]

Oh ok well thanks a whole lot for the info! I'm looking forward to more videos :)
