Good job!

Do you ever skip the blow-dry? If so, were your results different?

TIA

Where did you get the comb contraption used during flat ironing? Please and thank you

 

[ava2]

I love your results! Thank you for sharing

Can't believe your hair came out so well sans a pressing comb. Would you list the items/tools used? I know the conditioner in the green container can be purchased from Sally's. What Nioxin spray product was used?

What about the white comb like apparatus you used to pass, did that come with your flat iron or is it sold separately? TIA!

I never have, but I can imagine that there would be more passes of the flat iron required or your hair will not get as straight. I also think there would be alot more product needed to ease the manipulation of air dried hair. If you notice, there was no product added to my hair during the flat ironing process. For me, adding product results in weighted down hair.

Thanks. Approx 400 degrees

 

[Sapphire_chic]

Oooh another question, do you use anything daily to moisturise/seal?

 

[justicefighter1913]

Thanks for the tutorial!!

Moisture came from the deep condish and the Nioxin Thermal Bliss. If I use anything after that it would be argan oil, but thats rare.

Nice! So you just did an overnight DC on dry hair, rinsed, then added heat protector and heat styled? NEVER thought of doing it like that...I will try it!

Thanks!

ETA: You are pretty! I'm subscribing to your utube...like your music choices, too!

 

[MsButterfli]

great vid, im subbing

 

[Southernbella.]

Wow! I don't think I've ever seen DIY results that look that good on type 4 hair. Your hair is gorgeous.

 

[berryblack]

Very impressive!

Do you ever have trouble rinsing all of that conditioner out? I think that is half of my problem when I flat iron---my hair is like a jealous ex---it just won't let go and rinse clean!

 

[tdwillis]

Great job! Did you add honey or oils to the Silk Elements? Also, how often do you flat iron? It looks great.

Mine too

 

[13StepsAhead]

Great vid! I saw that comb thingy at Sally's and didn't think it would really be useful so I put it down, but I will surely be going back for it.

 

[toyagurl]

Gorgeous results. You did not shampoo at all?

Ooh, good question. I wonder how clean my hair would get with this method, since I only wash every couple of weeks. I think I'd have too much product buildup.

 

[NaturallyMo]

Great tutorial. Thank you for posting.

 

[ladyfay]

Just flawless! You just gave me hope and I'm firing my stylist.

By the way, " Do skip shampooing and use the conditioner only?'

I shampooed last week and didnt use much products when my hair was in a twist-n-curl so there wasn't much product in my hair prior to this style so I was able to DC on dry hair and rinse out. I was able to rinse it pretty easily. I would suggest shampooing (with a moisturizing shampoo) after your DC if you add oils to your DC. If I needed to shamppoo I would use Chi Moisturizing Shampoo (Silver and Red bottle).

Great job! Did you add honey or oils to the Silk Elements? Also, how often do you flat iron? It looks great.

No, I didn't add anything to the DC. I never used to green jar and wanted to see how it worked on its own. Its good, but Im not quite sure its as good as the regular one.

I flat iron maybe 6 times a year.

Lol. I've been braiding my hair since I was 11 so I guess my limbs have grown accustomed to the awkward positions needed for styling.

Practice makes perfect. Keep at it. You'll get it.

 

[SimJam]

lovely, results

I think my hair wud laugh at that process though

Wouldn't shampooing after DC take the moisture right back out? I'm intrigued by this, though, because I do think my dry hair responds better to conditioner than wet hair...

GIRL!!!! Great vid. Thanks!

I used to think this too. But it doesn't. If you're hair is truly well deep conditioned, a shampoo will no strip the moisture. If you didn't shampoo after using oils in your deep conditioner, I think that may result in a particle filled blow dry. That would be the first sign of a problem. If your blow dry is not light and weightless, expect problems when time comes to flat iron.
