Happy Monday Peeps. Wow, it was so hard handling my hair this weekend. One reason is because of my bad experience flat ironing my hair a few months ago. It was so bad that I chopped all of my hair off...most of it anyway. Check out the whole spill HERE from my hair disaster. The next reason is that I traveled to a wedding Saturday and the last thing I needed was awful hair. Lastly, I purchased two new hair tools: the FHI Blow Dryer (REVIEW) and the FHI Runway Flat Iron (REVIEW). Two new things used at once in my hair is a centimeter short of scary to me. I definitely have some hair issues.
Moving on, I decided to go back in time and reintroduce the one thing that USE TO WORK when I flat ironed my hair and got silky results. That is...drumroll....PRE-POOING. I stopped doing pre-poos when I stopped using shampoo to wash my hair a year ago and started to use conditioner instead. Pre-pooing just helps protect my strands from the harsh stripping shampoo. Typically, I use a cheapie conditioner, some type of oil, and honey for my pre-poo. For my pre-poo, I used coconut oil and honey.
Next, I washed my hair with Organix Morrocan Argan Creme Shampoo. I only applied shampoo once to my scalp and massaged with my tangle teezer to lift impurities. I've had this shampoo for so long and I still have plenty left because I rarely shampoo. Check out how I wash my hair HERE. Afterward, I rinsed out the shampoo and applied It's a 10 Miracle Hair Mask to my strands. Then, I lightly finger detangled in the shower, pulled my hair in a pineapple, and covered with a plastic cap. I deep conditioned for 30 mins under my Gold N Hot conditioning cap (REVIEW) and then rinsed out the conditioner. To remove excess moisture, I wrapped my hair in a t-shirt for a few minutes.
Next, I applied my leave-in's: It's a 10 Silk Express Smoothing Balm (REVIEW) & It's a 10 Miracle Leave In (REVIEW). Afterwards, I used my FHI blowdryer on warm with low speed to blow dry my hair. This took about 45 mins. I had a difficult time getting my ends to not be puffy. The blow dryer would run smoothly through my hair until the very ends. This was frustrating! But I didn't have a meltdown y'all. No strand was sacrificed. This new blow dryer is really quiet when on. The comb attachment is ok in my opinion but it got the job done. Lastly, I flat ironed with my FHI runway flat iron. The temp was set to 375. My ends were still a bit coarse and dry but I liked the overall look. This flatiron gave me great shine and my hair has grown so much since I chopped it off in May. Stay tuned for a length check.
Comes in a black, zippered bag inside a black box. Looks very sleek and professional, Heats in under a minute, does not pull my hair as it straightens. Have had this hair straighteners product for approximately three months and use it on average once a week--no signs of wear or use yet! Would recommend if you are looking for a straightened that can turn naturally curly hair into straight hair!
