Results for first half of head.....

After washing my hair....I deep conditioned.  Then I added Pantene Leave-In conditioner.

I sprayed my hair with Turn Up the Heat

And since I found BiolSilk Silk Therapy at CVS I applied it to each section of my hair as I flat ironed.

It looked okay at first but didn't shine at all.  And by the time I got the otherside of my head my hair was poofy!

Soooooooo, I decided to spray in some Almond oil to my hair...from root to tip....Can I say it worked!!!!

My hair is shiny and my ends are look great!

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.

Thanks!!  I'm seriously taking notes on all these suggestions I'm getting. 

Like I said earlier...I loved everything except my ends...So now I'll try with the suggestions.

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 do have one more issue.....

MY ENDS. When I flat ironed my hair, the ends didn't look too good. I even trimmed them because I thought that was the problem.

It's like the ends are so curly they refuse to staighten. I blow dried my hair before flat ironing.

My hair was staight from the roots but my ends refused to budge.

By using the Garnier Anti-Frizz or the BioSilk Silk Threapy orDeep Brilliance Reflect.....will that help it straighten?

What am I doing wrong?

Each section.  Just because my ends need so protection so desperately.

Thank you. I looked for it in Wal-mart and couldn't find it.
