Thank you for the help. i was really trippen for a while, my stylist recommended a ceramic flat iron. is the remington ceramic?
Your welcome. I'm pretty sure the Remington is cereamic plated and not solid ceramic (which like sistaslick said, the ceramic is better). When I get some extra cash and do some research I'm gonna get a pure ceramic flat iron but for right now the Remington is what I will use. It's gonna be hard for me to pay over 80 dollars for a flat iron but I know it'll be worth it. I'm cheap. Make sure you flat iron with some sort of heat protectant and some oil to help keep it straight and prevent frizzies (that's what I do but I'm not sure about everyone else, you may want to ask around).
you would have to read the box...it will tell you if it is ceramic. Be careful though, not all ceramic irons are created equal. Some are only ceramic coated/plated... and this coating wears off with some use. Make sure the iron has full ceramic plates. These will cost you a bit more, usually at least $50-60 . . .but are definitely worth it.
Yes a straight style is definitely possible. A good flat iron can straighten any hair type. When I transitioned I flat ironed my new growth and gradually cut the perm off....this way it was easier to manage the two defferent textures of hair. The flat iron I use is Remington Wet 2 Straight and it's like 25 dollars (since u mentioned u had limited funds). I got mine from Wal-Mart and it works real well. You may want to search on Folica.com, they have a lot of flat irons you can research but some are pricey. I'm thinking of getting one from there when I get some extra cash.
I really want to go natural but i am about to head to college and am scared about those "in between" months and upkeep. Is there away that i can keep my hair looking fresh while makin that transition? right now im lookin tore up and i can t do this knappy ponytail look for to long i think it damaging my hair. I plan to get a straw set next week to avoid a perm. The up keep is my main worry with limited funds as a college student. If i can't maintain the curls is a straight style possible without a perm? pLease someone Help Me!!!
