Ok ladies in my 22yrs of living and forever changing my hair . I have realized that there is no one awesome hair style that will require no work. All hair styles will ultimately require your part in maintanence. However, there are seleceted ways to wear your hair that can require minimum maintenince, one just has to decide wether or not that style is right for you and your lifestyle. While being away from home at school I have become more self dependent with caring for my hair. Thus I believie it is essential to come up with a regimen that best suites your tresses. Depending on the way you wear your hair regimens will vary. In this post I will share with you my personal regi that was inspired by 2 main youtube guru's Buildable Beauty and Ateyaa. I love the products that Ateyaaa suggest but I love Buildable Beauty's approach to a minimum heat alternative. Below is a regi that i used while relaxed9currently transitioning) which has a collaboration of both Ateyaaa's and Buildable Beauty regi's.
This regimen was done each week sat or sun morning to achieve a wrap look.
Step1. Shampoo hair twice with a moisturizing shampoo.
Step 2. Apply conditioner to thourougly towel blotted hair. Comb thru and detangle from bottom to top or section off in 4 sections with a wide tooth comb. Leave conditioner on for 15 min under heat or 30 min under shower cap.
Step3. Rinse hair in cool water(helps seal in moisture and makes cuticles on hair shaft smoother)
Step4. Apply a leave in conditioner, a serum , heat protectant and foam wrap(optional) to hair
Step 5. While leave ins are in your hair comb hair down leaving the front part of hair down in your face and sit under dryer for 20 min. If you dont have a dryer walk around and clean up or jus sit n watch tv. The main point is we want hair to be at least 30% dry before we apply a blowdryer to it.
Step 6. Section Partially dried hair off into four sections and blow dry on medium heat and medium speed. Minimum heat is ideal but depending on how far you are into your relaxers that can take a longggg time.
Step 7. with each section u want to grab hair and blow dryer and comb or brush down . I have difficulty using a comb attachment dryer thus i use a brush but watever suits u best.
Step 8. Completing all 4 sections make sure hair is 100% dry. spray heat protectant 6 inches away from hair wait 5 min. Then go in with the flat iron.
Step 9. Depending on flat iron you would want to set it at an appropiate heat index for your hair. You will burn hair shaft if flat iron is too hot , thus i reccomend grabing an end paper or any piece of paper of sum sort and putting your paper between the flat iron press down for 15 seconds and if the paper is yellow this means your flat iron is too hot. DECREASE TEMP.
I reccomend about 300 degrees for medium-course/thick hair and around 200 for less course hair.
Step 10. Section hair off starting with the back prefferably place a small amount of hair thru flat iron and pull thru no more than 2 times. Move on to the next piece of section and work your way up.
Step 11. (optional) spray with oil sheen 6 inches away from hair and wrap add rollers at the crown for an extra bump.
Step 12. FLYNESS IS NOW IN EFFECT!!!!!! START UR SWANGIN ASAP!!
