So for the 2nd time since ive been natural (sept 09) i straightening my hair. I washed, blowed dry and braided until today where i flat ironed.
i put in head protectant for every section a quarter size for my WHOLE head of almond oil and hibiscus cream (shea moisture) and thats it!
my hair is straight but its no where near silky or flowy, its almost just like i blowed it out real well.
what am i doing wrong? what should i do next time? did i use the wrong protectant?
my heat protectant is fantasia ic (pink)
i think before when i tried beyond the zone i got similar results.
or im thinking its because my hair isnt heat trained. at this point i feel like i look better with straight hair and i wont have to spend as much time with straight hair but i will NOT relax. ill be a straightening natural
ETA: i have the GVP and the head setting was in between 410 and whatever the 300 temp is. (like 360-380)
i want it to look like this :) @ 6 mins
