On my way to Selah in East Point
Washed and hydrated (free with the service!) with Design Essentials Leave In Conditioner and Blow Drying Lotion. I'm 6 months post texlax
Blow dried with a denman. Portia says the key to straight styling textured hair is all in the blow drying and says the ceramic dryers don't just dry up the water like other dryers. They make the water droplets burst and then they are reabsorbed by the hair for even more moisture.
Fully dry
Before trim
After trim, I wanted as little gone as possible
After one pass with the flat iron using the chase method
The final look with Design Essentials Silk Essential Serum. Portia's tip: Blowdry the hair briefly after applying product so that it is absorbed. It helps prevent reversion on resistant (or untrained hair like mine) and it also helps the hair stay light because it melts in and afterward you can't feel the product on the hair.
I was worried about reverting in the high humidity when I get back home so I asked her to put some more weight on it so she added a little Design Essential Texture Pomade and wrapped my hair while blow drying it in for a second and this was the result
I hope you guys like it! I found about Portia here. She is all about healthy hair care and does not do weaves or relaxers (sorry ladies). She also models and that is a pic of herself that she is holding up. She is 100% natural in both pics! She is a beautiful person in every way and it was really the best salon experience I have ever had.
