Help Please

Oooo honey I'm so sorry. I went thru that with a professional that I went to for several years. Her flat iron had no temperature guage nor did she deep condition my hair. After I stopped working I started doing my own hair and then I noticed how damaged it was. So the internet here I come. Lol. I've found so much help on here as well as YouTube. I finally cut my shoulder length hair cause it was so uneven and had split ends as well as see thru ends. Its growing now and I can already tell I'm doing the damn thing. Lol. So, I hope the 2 people help you some. I can't use castor oil or let my hair dry overnight, cruuuunchy hard hair. I no they bought use high heat. Ok, I've ranted enough, take care. TTYL. There was another person on here that had a link to her page on YouTube and it was good too, I don't know if the YouTube page is still up. Her write-up on here was under Ciarahoneydip i think. Bye Bye (in the pressing section)

you should have waited for your hot iron to be hot enough before you start pressing your hair.

I use very small sections.  If the sections you try to flat iron or press are too large, the heat penetrates unevenly and gives a bad result.
