I'm a tad irritated that I had to stretch it out to see, even after I flat ironed, but oh well. :lol:





Unstretched:rolleyes::





And now I have a product rave. Shout out to ready2grow2 for turning me on to Aphogee Green Tea Keratin Reconstructing Mist (I think that's the full name of it). I washed, deep conditioned, then sectioned my hair and sprayed the Aphogee liberally on each section. I then blowdried and flat ironed (using a dab of coconut oil). After, I applied John Frieda Anti-Frizz serum. I loved the results! My hair felt smoother, sleeker, and stronger when I flat ironed it. I think it also helped with reversion. I say that because I've used anti-frizz serum in the past and it didn't do much.


Clean, damp hair:





After drying each section, I braided it. I took this section down to flat iron it:




Result:







I rolled my hair extra tight last night because I knew I would be walking around outside all day. I assumed my curls would fall, but they didn't. My hair barely reverted (and for my hair and Georgia humidity, that's a feat!)

Today after I got home:











Thanks for looking! Next stop, MBL.:grin::grin::grin::grin::grin:

BTW, I'm nearly 3 years post relaxer and nearly 2 years post BC.

I'm thinking about transitioning again, after seeing this thread I'm really thinking about it! Beautiful hair!

Thank you ladies! O/T: do I have a short torso? My bra seems high in that pic, but if it were any lower, it would be at my waist. :lol: Is that normal? :lachen:

You look like you have a regular torso, and you're just a short person. Your bra is in the right place though (under your shoulder blades). Maybe you just have a high waist.

What do you like about the Mist spray? What does it do for you?

Yeah, I guess I left the review part out of the review, huh? :lachen:

:yep: I'm with msa - you might be slightly high waisted.

GORGEOUS hair and congrats on being BSL!!!!!! :look: I'm being nosey now, but is that your natural color? If not, what do you use?

Not nosey at all! I've colored it 3 times now. I used Clairol Textures & Tones Bronze, but it clearly didn't do much so I'm done. :lol:

Thank you MSA! I was like dang, why does my bra look high? But there really isn't anywhere else for it to go. A few inches lower and it would be a belt. :giggle:

Umph! Hair color! You can clearly see the different colors (at least I'm assuming those were the colors you were going for! :lachen:) in the clean damp picture, but I'm assuming it doesn't show up at all once you style it?
