Same with me, when I flat iron it, it stays straight until I wash it, except for the front where I sweat.
 
But what exactly do you mean by 'revert'? I know that when I get my hair straightened, it starts to go back to being curly after a couple months..does anyone else's hair do that? I feel like its such a waste, like I tortured my hair for nothing! hehe

I am about 6 weeks post relaxer and I just use a Neutrogena Frizz Serum. It's in a tube and I put it in while my hair is wet. When I Flat iron it, I don't have as much of a problem with reverting for at least 5 days or so.

Well I've been "stretching" for about 4 months now.  I'm kinda in between going natural and stretching.. thinking.  Im leaning more towards natural.  I'm just gonna grow it out though.  Since it isn't long a large portion of my hair is already natural believe or not(I texturized for awhile).  I flat iron weekly and blow dry..the first nite it's pretty decent looking then the next morning.. I can tell it's afro-ing UP!  Puffy and frizzied.

Is There any way you can possibly stop the reverting back to the natrual texture, after flat ironing, or pressing?  I guess it would mean not using products with water??... Any advice?
