Deep Conditioned/Hot Oil Treatment..
Detangled and Air-Dryed
After I pressed my hair I braided two semi-loose plaits on each side.. I used satin covered sponge rollers to curl the ends..
Straightened my hair on low-heat… I was going to press my hair from the heat of the stove but chickened-out, I pressed my hair with a plug-in pressing comb on Med/Low.
After my hot shower my hair shrunk and I lost some of the sheen/silky look…
Day 2
Day 3 I’m channeling my inner 1980’s chick…mushroom hairstyle!! LOL! It started as a joke, DH loved it so I wore it out like this. Groovy Dude.

I enjoyed the “straight” look for the 3-4 days it lasted. LOL! My hair is a 4b so it takes more heat or a higher temp to get the pressed look I was going for. My hair can be resistant to heat but it was very soft and VERY manageable. I will proceed with more confidence next time. I had no idea how to straighten my natural hair because my hair has been permed my whole life. I didn’t want to burn my hair off so I was super cautious this time with how much heat I put on my hair. After recently washing my hair my naps are back in full effect!! LOL! Does anyone recommend a flat iron that gets really hot with no damage? I love having options with my hair…I welcome all suggestions..
