I don't like the idea of blowdrying... but I will try her flat ironing technique. I wonder if it comes out as nice if I don't blowdry... ------------- To whom much is given, much is expected. www.fotki.com/princess121 |

Hmm...nice techinque. I've never thought of trying spiral-type curls w/ a flat iron. I'm going to try that to see if mine comes out that nice. ------------- ~~  LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~

I thought it looked nice, but it seemed like too much heat to me. Let me know how it turns out. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |

Ok ladies.. I have changed my philosophy about blow drying. I just spent hours flat-ironing my hair for the first time in 1 month and I air-dried instead of blow drying. It came out like a blow dry and took way too long. I think if I blowdry and flat Iron once a month, Ill still be ok. ------------- To whom much is given, much is expected. www.fotki.com/princess121 |

I love the curls! I think my FHI would fry my hair off if I tried to curl my hair around it that much and hold -------------

I've airdried my hair and curled like this without blowdrying and it came out beautiful. It didn't take long at all with my Solia. At least compared to the times when I used to press my hair. Blow drying isn't necessary if you have the right iron. ------------- CHECK OUT MY PHOTOS! http://public.fotki.com/quietladyflash/ - My Fotki Album |

I use this method alot and because I have naturally curly hair and hate sitting under the dryer I do blow dry my hair with an "andis" brand blow dryer with infrad heat which doesnt make my hair frizz and then I take my chi to it and it silks it out like no other you may think it is too much heat but once again the chi flat irons use "good" heat the heat that is good for your hair it does not burn the hair like a traditional flat iron it's ceramic plates do it all. and dont be decieved by the cheap knock off's or ceramic coated flat iron that is a waste of money ------------- **Shay** |
