QuoteReplyTopic: Flat Ironing Unclean Hair Posted: April 09 2006 at 3:17pm
I don't worry about it too much since hair that's longer than about two inches is dead anyway. I've also found that for me, flat-ironing the same day as a wash is counterproductive, especially if I airdried -- the iron is already stripping oil out of my hair, so unless I use a lot of oil ( and I mean a LOT; small sections, thoroughly oiled), my hair comes out looking dull and not very straight. My hair seems to like flat ironing better when there's more oil around...
Make every day you have count, before the time comes for you to count every day you have.
LOL, hey!! i have ironed already worn clothes too,,
im such a hippy lol
Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends! I am hair OBSESSED
I have always done this ,, i dont put a load of
product in and I find that after the 3rd or 4th day after
washing and then touching up with the iron it looks
even better sometimes! lol but if i did happen to load
it with product then it'll look like crap

Thanks Ladies. Well, the products I use are also used for thermal styling and what not!...I don't know if that makes it okay. So I tried it, and it did come out rather beautiful;hopefully this doesn't hurt me in the long run.
well, you are technically frying all of the oil, gel, grease and other products you may have used since your wash right on back into your hair. That can be damaging. If you don't use many products, you should be okay-- but by day 3 you've pretty much accumulated quite a bit of product on your hair.
