Hair Straightening Tutorial on Relaxed Hair

So..Since people always ask me how I get my hair/other peoples hair so straight.

I decided to make this video...

Some things have changed since I made this video...

1. I have cut back my flat iron use to 1 a month. I wear a lot of curly styles now. Created by twists and rollers and such.

2. I have a heat protectant that I use when i blow dry and flat iron.

3. No more Blue Magic for me...Only natural oils for me now... and I have cut out a lot of the oil moisturizers that contain Mineral Oil. I still use sulfur8 in my scalp.

FAQ's

1. What is the name of your flat iron and where can I get it?
-It's an Andis brand flat iron, they sell them in both Walmart and Target . It cost me somewhere between 20 and 25 dollars. They also have a website http://www.andis-store.com/product_list.asp?SKW=ANDIRON&NAV=ANDIRON .

2. Is my hair relaxed?
- Yes, I get 3-4 perms a year. I use ORS No Lye in Regular. I usually stretch my perms from 16-21 weeks.

3. Is grease bad for your hair?
- Yep. It sure is. I have basically stopped using grease with the exception of my sulfur8. I now use natural oils such as coconut, olive, and castor. Some people say you should straighten hair with nothing on it...or just a little bit of heat protectant... I've decided against that just because that WILL break all of my hair off. This I know for a fact.


4. You should be using a heat protectant.
- You are right, and I went out and got one. It's called "YOU Straight Thermal Straightening Creme"...


Oh yeah...and also rememeber that what works for some may or may not work for others... Also...get educated about black hair...look up hair care for black women and men, join a hair care forum like http://www.k-i-s-s.biz or http://www.hairlista.com

@CastinCouchnCatwalk You want to... Let's DO it!

[CastinCouchnCatwalk]

@makingfamous Lol I wish

[makingfamous]

@CastinCouchnCatwalk anyone can do it... i never thought i could... but my hair is longer and healthier then this.. better then it has ever been in my adult life... i just followed a few simple rules... and learned a few techniques...

[CastinCouchnCatwalk]

@makingfamous How did you get it like that? Like what rules did you follow? Can you inbox me please. Because my hair is SOOOOOOOOOOO damaged right now that if I even go near it with a straightner, it will probably all fall out. I had to cut my hair really short because of the damage, but it's still breaking and dry...and brittle :S

@MsSugarlips21 my hair is relaxed... i relax it 3 times a year...

[MsSugarlips21]

Did you do anything to your hair like relaxing it before you started straightening?

[makingfamous]

@alexasy4 ~now... no... at the time... this was "longer" hair for me... It did eventually break off... I believe from too much heat exposure, and not enough moisture... Now I only flat iron, maybe once a month, or twice if I have to do something or go somewhere that requires it.... It might be burning off your bangs.. How often do you flatiron?
