I always keep my hair straightened. When it gets frizzy I do large heat less curls.

It’s so much easier! 😌

After years of being natural, I am seeing that my hair is easier to manage and care for when it is straight. I don't flat iron. I wear a roller-set, which actually does an amazing job of straightening my hair. Once my hair is dry, I hit the roots with a straightening brush (heat not as high as flat iron) and move on. I can keep this style for a long period of time, but work to wash and condition hair weekly or bi-weekly depending on schedule and give my hair a light protein treatment once a month. It just feels so much better than wearing a wash and go and twist outs.

It is waaayyy easier to manage. I have blow dried and put the curling rods in my hair and I like the way that looks as well. Do you ever flat iron at all?? I couldn’t imagine never doing it, but definitely understand not wanting to do it often because of the damage.

Looks great. I liked the braided pony, but the flexi-rod waves were my fave.

Thank you! 🥰 I love the way the flexi rod waves came out too!

Your hair looks great! I think as long as you keep up with your trims and hair care, you can straighten often without losing your length. Shanika Corb comes to mind.

Thank you so much 🤗

Hello! Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!!! My favorite hairstyle was the one you initially showed after taking down the 2 braids. I am new to being a straight haired natural. It lasts 2 to 3 wks if I do it and 4 wks if my Stylist does it. What heat protectant did you use prior to flat ironing? I saw the heat protectants used before the blow dry. Do you use Miche foam for edges with every press? I'm so surprised it didn't revert. I say do what works best for you. Summer can be challenging. How do you handle that? Thanks

Thank you!! 🥰You like the braid out best? I think I would have loved it if I actually styled it but I was set on straightening it. 🥴 Before I flat iron I used the ORS Thermalast 2 n 1 Heat Defense & Shine Mist. They have a serum as well but it’s too think for me.

I use Miche or any foam to just lay my edges down…I do that first or while blow drying. I don’t really use after I straighten unless my hair is very old and I put it up in a ponytail. As far as summer - as long as my ends are trimmed and my hair is moisturized I don’t get frizz. If it’s raining or has rained that day my hair will be in a bun or tied up because the humidity will be too much.

I feel the same way, sometimes I feel guilty for wanted to do more straight styles, like I’m turning on accepting my blackness but I only want to see my length more, and besides in a way we are honoring ourselves because we are showing how versatile our hair can be. Also, so interesting that they gave you betamethazone. I am an OB nurse and we inject that in moms who give birth before 37 weeks to help baby’s lungs mature faster

how often do you wash and restraighten your hair ?

Your hair looks really nice

Can I ask what do you use to keep your edges sleek? My hair gets really straight but the edges get curly fast and ruins the whole look for me. All the edge controls have water and really make my edges all curly.

@Ty_Monia

I struggle with this as well. Which is why I put the foam on my edges before I straighten my hair. If it reverts, I put foam (sometimes foam and a little Murray’s Pomade) and a scarf on my edges to lay them back down and sometimes I will go over my edges with a flat iron because I don’t mind if they get “heat trained”. I know some girlies like gots to be because they say it doesn’t revert, but I’ve never tried it.
