I am new to these forums and I am glad I joined. Layla, I'm glad to see your response for the Maxiglide, I just ordered it and I was wonder if I would be happy with the results. Now I cannot wait to get it. Thanks for the great review and instruction.
How hot did you have the iron? Heat usually counteracts frizziness, so more heat - less frizz. This will, however, damage your hair in the long run.
I use Biosilk Silk Therapy on each section before I put the iron to it. It's a good heat protectant, adds slickness and smells great.
I had it set to the highest temp. as it said in the instructions for ethic hair.
Ok everyone when you put the heat protection on do you put rub it in your hands then apply to your hair and comb it thru or do you put the heat protection serum on each section as you go.
Your hair came out great! I love, love, love your natural hair too! You can also try using a setting lotion before you blowdry--lottabody works really well on cutting down the frizzies and flyaways.

ITA. Thats why alot of people prefer the ceramic irons b/c they heat up warmer than most irons with a more even, controlled heat. The end result is a sleeker, salon-like finish. But like Supersugar said, using them too often can be too much on your hair. I bought an FHI and used it on my mom- she loved the results. I'll see if I can post the pics--
You can't really see the newgrowth as well but she's about 8 weeks post relaxer in the first pic. She's gonna kill me.
I had the same problem - rough, crinkly ends. And they seemed to get damaged so easily...grrr. I used the iron to flip them out, but it would hold for maybe four days max and the ends would revert.
The best - the only - solution I've found was to roller set my hair on low heat for about 50 minutes, and flat iron the next day. Before, when my ends were such a mess, I was airdrying completely.
Make every day you have count, before the time comes for you to count every day you have.
