Hello.. Could someone suggest to me what to do with my hair after shampooing and conditioning it? I've tried wrapping it myself. I've seen the demonstration on how to do it.. I still can't achieve the same results. One thing I do is after I wash my hair is.... First, I put in a leave-in conditioner, carrot oil, and then I put mousse in it. After that put my hair in a pony-tail so it can air-dry. I would like to wet-wrap my hair to achieve straightness and body... ------------- Love your imperfections they are what makes you unique. |

Have you tried allowing your hair to partially air dry and then follow up with a blowdrier. That way you are using less heat and using it for less amount of time. When I was relaxed, I would put my leave-in and everything in my hair and pontail or bun it. Then I would allow it to airdry, until it was more dry than wet. After words, I would blow dry by sections. The smaller the section the better. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

Your hair has to be relaxed to do a wet wrap. After you have shamp and cond but your desired styling products (preferably ones that won't make your hair to hard or oily, and not too much so the hair can dry properly) Wrap your hair tightly around the shape of your head, using your head as one giant roller. When hair is sufficiently wrapped tie it down. Sanex strips are best but you can use a silk or satin scarf and just tie it around the edges of your hair leaving the center part out (like Tupac in Above the Rim  ) Sit under a dryer for 45 min to an hour. After hair is dry comb out in the same direction it was wrapped until the hair falls towards your shoulders. Then style as desired !------------- CHECK OUT MY PHOTOS! http://public.fotki.com/quietladyflash/ - My Fotki Album |
