My hair is still straight! It's been exactly 2 weeks since I had my hair flat ironed. The curls are gone and I'm just going with the flow. I'm actually enjoying the easy maintenance of wrapping my hair and going to sleep. There are no braid outs, pineapples, or spritzes with water, just wrap and sleep. LOL! Don't get me wrong though, because when it's curly it's easy to maintain as well.
My hair has been holding it's shape even with activity and exercise. I haven't swam over the past 2 weeks since my class is on break, however I have been participating in a 1 1/2 hour steppin' class once a week. My hair is still holding up. Maybe I'll leave it flat ironed until Christmas. I'm starting to miss my curls though. I'll see how long I can hold off on a co-wash, conditioner, and gel application. Here's a pic of length below.
P.S. I got the style idea of pairing a yellow or lime sweater with turquoise earrings after seeing
NikG pair turquoise accessories with a lime/yellowish dress. I never would have thought to pair the 2 colors before. BTW my hair is SPBSL (slightly past bra strap length) and yeah it's still straight!
That's great that your hair is holding up! Do you use an oil or moisturizer daily?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I actually put shea butter on my hair immediately after having my hair flat ironed. I haven't put anymore oil on my hair since that day because my hair tends to make it's own oils and starts to get straighter and weighed down. I didn't follow my typical oil obsession routine during this flat iron. I'm just hoping that when I wrap nightly the oils will be evenly distributed through my hair.
