QuoteReplyTopic: How often do you flatiron your hair? Posted: November 14 2005 at 9:21pm
After 2 days my roots really start to get frizzy again. It's not just a little bit...it's very noticeable. I don't want to go through my hair again because I just did it 2 days ago. I wanted to know how often everyone flatirons they're hair..and what do you do (besides wear a hat) in between flatironing to keep your hair looking good?
I flat iron my hair every day on a low heat setting. its always wavy
when i wake up. But i have been doing it for years using certian
products on my hair when i do it to keep it from getting dry, and I
have no problem with it. I have very long hair more then half way down
my back now and its soft and shiny even with daily use. I also make
sure to use lots of really great conditioners.
lol gossipqueen, thats encouraging,, no matter
what i do if i wanna wear my hair completely loose I
must flat iron it daily,, it always will get a little wavy no
matter how tightly i wrap myhead,, i think my hair is
just too soft and too light so i always will need to do
a couple of runs with the iron,, i used to daily but now
its 3 times a week and using heat protectant..
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 flat iron my hair once a week after I wash my hair. One day my hair got kinda of frizzy because it was so humid her for a few days so I did get tempted and flat ironed it and the next day it got frizzy allover again! I read the forums and got NTM and that moisture has stopped my frizzies.
I usually flat iron once a week, only after I wash! I don't relax anymore, so I have to do something because it's way to thick to do anything with it after washing it!

how do you wrap y our hair in order to keep it straight? I
have never tried it but if it means reducing the time I spend flat ironing my
hair I will try it

You wrap your hair in one direction around your head (I wrap from right to left) like a giant roller. You can use pins to keep in place but I usually just tie in place with a scarf. The key is to keep all the hair really smooth when you're wrapping it so you won't have bumps or waves in your hair.

pokahontas, thanks for the tip on wrapping hair. I have
never done it and decided to try it out last night. It worked well, I didn’t
have to get up and use my flat iron. My hair stayed the same way it was when I styled
it. I heard that it was also good to do it to reduce hair breakage as well.

That's great! I'm glad it worked out well for you. It really is an effective way to keep your hair straight and smooth but it does take a little practice (at least it did for me).

Me again, remember I said I used my flat iron everyday and I
didn’t find that it did any damage. Well I decided to try and go without it for
a while to see if it made any difference. Pokahontas gave me a good idea to
wrap my hair at night and I didn’t use my flat iron now for a week, that’s a
world record for me. But I don’t really see any difference except for the fact
that I don’t have to put a lot of products in my hair to keep it moisturized,
in fact I didn’t have to put anything In my hair to keep the shine. So I guess I
will try to reduce it to about five times a week lol.
