My hair is stiff...

[Mena]

last week I washed and dced my hair ....blew dry then flat ironed....felt weird so the next time I just dced and air dryed....my hair is still stiff and poofy....umm what gives...any words of wisdom....usually when I do my hair it comes out looking pretty nice and lasts at least a week

I think you'll be better helped if you gave specifics. What products did you use in each case?

 

[tiffers]

Your hair probably didn't like the products. Also, some people just can't airdry, their hair doesn't like it. Have you tried rollersets? Soft, bouncy hair every time

 

[tiffers]

Oh, how did you style your hair when you airdried? Was this the first time you used the products that made your hair stiff?

I have been using the same products for the last year....no prblems until last week

I let my hair air dry in braids...after that I flat ironed....like I usually do

I am natural if that helps any

You might have product build up. Once I started doing acv rinses and air drying, my hair dried soft.

I used the same routine as you and the same thing happened to me. My hair was stiff as a board I've just started to CWC as of yesterday and air dried (No heat!!) - I CWC'd again today - same thing. I'm going to continue doing this for the rest of the month and see what gives. When I CWC I'm only using conditioner for both washing and conditioning.

I redid my hair and it came out much softer...i think it was because of the acv rinse
