So I want to straighten my hair next weekend, where I am going it is going to be hot and humid. I am abt a year post relaxer, so you can imagine how thats straight new growth is going to look once that humidity gets to it lmao.

Can anyone suggest a really good product that will keep my hair from poofing up like a lion?!? Thx in advance!

Natural/4b/medium-coarse
Chi silk infusion, sabino lock and block, garnier sleek and shine serum. I use all 3 as needed. I moisturize with the garnier and I use one of the serums before I rollerset/blowdry

Thanks all!! I may need to go with something that you use after the straightening process. I find that many products I use before the flat iron weighs it down. I have very fine hair.

Where are people getting theirs? I went on Amazon and they were talking about it being discontinued, a fake was being sold, all kinda wild stuff. :lol:

Honey Bee - the original Moisture Block is back on Sabino's website. I believe there's also a 25% code floating around in the February sales thread that's good until later this month.

If you ladies can tell me if the Aveda will keep my natural hair from frizzing from a flat iron to an afro in humid weather...I'll buy it. I have type 4b/c hair.

Aveda anti humectant pomade
KeraCare Oil Sheen w/ Humidity Block
:yep:
So this stuff is good???

I am looking for something to keep my natural from frizzing in rainy weather.

The Aveda mixed with equal parts of a 'con' type product like PM's skinny serum or John Frieda's Frizz Ease (on well conditioned hair) has held up for me in rain with no umbrella on hair that is most 4a/b. What works even better for me though is to use equal parts PM with equal amounts of Biosilk's silk therapy. I put it on while my hair is still warm from the flat iron. I usually do this the night before I want to wear my hair in straighter styles. I wrap my hair to allow the styling aids to penetrate. The next morning I style my hair and go. HTH!

In the rain with no umbrella??? That's amazing!! I may have to get some.

Yeah GettingKinky, it wasn't intentional:look: but it turned out all good:yep:. As a matter of fact I have an old picture of my hair that day:scratchch...
. It's been a few years ago now but that did it for me. I don't use a lot of commercial products but this one is there to stay unless they change the formulas:lol:.

OK!!

So...

I have some CHI Silk Infusion...
I need to get the Aveda...

(PM is Paul Mitchell, right???)

THANX SO MUCH!!! @Prudent1

Yes AKA-Tude, PM is Paul Mitchell.

I'm about to be this thread's guinea pig, NO LIE.

I do not do my hair out because it's a waste of time once a drop of humidity is in the atmosphere. I'm going to figure this out!

Prudent1 you're natural, right?

thanks for this! Some questions...do you literally mix the 2 products together in your hands and then apply to warm, flat ironed hair?

what do you use beforehand to make sure your hair is "well conditioned?"

What do you M&S your flat ironed hair with?

what heat protectant do you use before flat ironing?

thank you!

1) Any leave-in lotion (without H20 as the 1st ingredient) followed by Hollywood Beauty's Castor Oil Hair Treatment w/ Mink Oil (the one in the green & white jar).

2) Moroccan Oil Treatment followed by Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Cream. (I rate this combo second because of expense and the fact that while it looks good/shinny, it is a bit "producty" and "weighty.")

Both are what I apply to prevent pouf in hair that has been freshly roller-set and dried to stretch.

Source: currently in the humid-@$$ SouthEast, natch-laxed (more natural than texlaxed), 3b- 4a hair with a mind of its own and an affinity for protein because it's fine, roller-set with Laico-Laico and a setting lotion once a week and zero (zip, nada) tolerance for anything that doesn't give me a whole lot of shine and prevent pouf. Other info: my hair likes the above better than Sabino which is in the bottom of my never-use-again-drawer.

HappyAtLast,
Yes, I am pretty much natural. I have a little texlaxed hair on the ends of my hair in the front of my head and they will be gone with my summer trim.:grin:

I literally mix the two products in my hands and then apply to my hair.:yep:

A day or two before I flat iron I have shampooed (usually clarifying or chelating) and DCed my hair with the DC of choice (usually Joico moisture recovery or Aussie Moist 3 min miracle).

For M&S I use a variation of KT lv-in and JBCO (in cold months) or a ceramide rich blend of oils like grapeseed, hemp, etc (during warmer months) but I do not use them before I flat iron. Less product is better for me when flat ironing. Good hair health before makes a HUGE difference.

The PM serves as a heat protectant b/c it is full of cones which is a main ingredient in a lot of heat protectants.

Prudent1 Thank you. I appreciate this info! I'm transitioning, but I've been natural before and I know this time I'm going to be flat ironing regularly as the base for my styles so this info is just what I need -- I've been experimenting with this already.

(I'll be doing one pass of the flat iron on air dried hair, 350 degrees, slow passes, thin sections -- likely every 2 weeks...or 1x montly if I can stretch washing that long!)

bump bump bump to this thread!

i am prepping early LOL....summers in south korea are supposedly ridiculously humid, and i have never in my life dealt with humidity long term (only when visiting certain states for a few days). i have only ever learned what works for my hair in dry heat so this is going to be quite an adaption for me. taking notes. :yep:
