I've been avoiding this area of the forum to avoid temptation. One more month of almost-exclusive Komaza use. Hoping for a good results!

Spent 4+ hours blow drying and flat ironing my hair for the first time since going natural. I was so excited. It started frizzing up and reverting before I was halfway done.I'm so upset. Stupid, natural hair.
aw it will be ok...

It was a big mistake deciding to try out my new flat iron yesterday and style my hair straight with the ends curled under. Aside from the fact that I had the temperature too low for fear of damage, I haven't learnt how to maintain that style overnight yet. So today my ends are just limp and fluffy

These Natural hair groups on Facebook are really annoying... If I see the video of the lady cleaning her flat iron with a relaxer again or people being shocked that someone cleaned something with a relaxer I am going to scream!!! It's Lye people! What do they think Lye was used for before there were relaxers....

OMG...about a month ago I was going thru it!! And I was sooooo ready to cut my hair off. I felt like my crown was damaged because it just did not feel like the rest of my hair and looked like it wasn't growing. I installed a shower filter and was immediately brought to my senses. Now I'm experiencing a healthy 'spring' w/my crown shrinkage and finally have root-to-tip coils popping up there.

This is me. It's been about 3 years for me, and my shrinkage has been driving me crazy lately. I'll most likely flat iron tomorrow, because I've been having dreams that my hair is shorter than I think it is. I need to ease my mind before I go crazy.
You guys should try blow drying. It's a great to way to see the length of your hair while not putting too much heat on it.

I can't stand that. It's annoying and hypocritical. Although I'm natural, I know there is such a thing as healthy relaxed long hair. Like everything else in life, it has to be done right and used right. If they only knew what the things they were eating are doing to their bodies.

Whisper "bleep boop" to yourself when you're sad.
I did. That reverted too.
Although I'm not great at it, so it doesn't even come close to getting my hair straight enough to see my length.

What products did you use?

My shower filter works wonders! I know people with really sensitive skin that takes one with them when traveling. I'm tempted...
Anyway I keep seeing raggedy ends that clearly are not there. Ever since I started to finger detangle exclusively, I haven't seen a split ends in YEARS!(my issue is ssks). So I don't know why I keep checking my ends. I do need my regular dusting, but not a 2 inch trim

SSKs are a nightmare. My first and last dusting was in February. I did it myself. My ends were a wreck. They are still doing well.

Can't like this enough. Gotta love it when someone is screaming about the dangers of relaxers (which should never touch your skin anyway) while going through the fast food drive through or eating "southern comfort" food

Hattaché has it down with sending your products on time. I ordered my conditioners on friday...BAM in my mailbox today why can't all vendors be like that?

I'm thinking about trying black seed oil

Yes, I have noticed this a little before they made the changes. Usually when I go to the threads and it leaves off where I was, I'm several pages behind. I come back the following day (hours later) and one or two responses are after mine.

I really don't understand why people use oil before flat ironing their hair. They say it's a heat protectant, but if you think about oil heating up on a stove, it's the same as putting the flat iron on it. It's literally cooking the oil into your hair. Yeah it might look fine for now, but doing that all the time can't be healthy and the damage will reveal it self. I really feel that the only thing you should be using is a heat protectant whether the spray or serum before flat ironing. After flat ironing you can add a little moisturizer and some oil. Maybe it's just me....

I am so glad it doesn't erase what you just wrote if you make a mistake and go back because I just wrote a of this and screamed because I thought I lost it lol ^^^

I always wondered why people thought this was a good idea... I don't know the science behind it but like you said... the same way you apply heat to oil on the stove looks like the same thing that would happen to hair... I'm not real interested in deep/pan frying my hair
