Since I've been ironing with the Solano iron and not getting blowouts i noticed that my hair just doesnt have the body,, its just a little too straight and flat i used to be able to have that sexy "s" wave Jessica Simpson style body wave in front and I sooooo miss that!!! I remember years ago b4 i went thru that major breakage i would take the hair from the front and top and pull it atop my head into a small bun and when i took it down after a few minutes I had that full s wave in front and it was soooo cute and i just remembered it today after years of not having it long enough to look decent in front,, its back!! and everyone seemed to notice becuz i got so many compliments,, im so pleased anyway i was wondering if there is any alternative to this becuz that little bun scares me since its kinda tight and i dont wanna suffer more breakage,, anyone have any ideas...? ------------- 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 do that little bun too . I don't think it will do any damage since you only have it in for a short period of time. I usually have mine in for 15 minutes but sometimes I'll sleep in a loose one. My hair seems okay from it. It does put a nice wave/flip in the hair. Just be careful with the hair bands you use. I use the ouchless ones that are seamless. They are really nice and kinda feel like pantyhose or something.------------- |

OMG girl,, YOU too??!! I would have imagined noone would have done that becuz i always thought i did weird stuff with myhair,, yeah i guess a bun shouldnt be too bad so long as it isnt tight,, and that bun gets it just right,, i LOVE it!! i ought to try sleeping in it too becuz it tends to fall flat,, man,, ur hair must be so pretty since its so long,, i sometimes put a couple of rows of extensions in and then it looks like long wavy layers,, so cute ------------- 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!

Oh wow,, so that method gets is straight ,, maybe ill try that,,, im very relieved that i rediscovered the little bun becuz im finding that idont need heat to look presentable whereas b4 my hair would be straight but with little waves and VERY flat so it looked awful and I needed heat nearly everyday ------------- 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've been having the same problem. This is what I've tried: section the part that you want to have a wave, then use a molding paste and lightly twist or loosely braid that section. Put a little black rubber band on the end to keep it from coming a loose. Then when it's set, take it out gently and finger comb it to style. You might need a little hair spray to keep it. You have to experiment with the amount of product because too much will mess up the straight hair. |
