HC
HC I just had to vent on that one
HC I had a short afro when I was young
HC I looked like a boy
HC that was the end of short hair for me, even if now no one would ever mistake me for a boy
HC allsmiles you are proving me right on the "time investment" angle
HC that is far more time than I ever want to spend on my hair!
HC I don't really have this problem because I use a no-lye relaxer now and it makes my hair wavy/curly instead of pin straight
HC I remember my lye relaxer days VIVIDLY though and they involved a lot of heat!
SHORT hair history:
HC I used to blowdry it and curl it once or twice a week
HC I was not down with wrapping my hair- it makes it look like you only have one layer of hair when taken out - unless you curl the ends
HC when I wrapped my hair it didn't have any bounce or life to it!
HC then I put in braids and that TOTALLY SPOILED me
HC I had braids for two years (getting them redone every three months)
HC my hair when I took the braids out was longer than it had ever been
HC when I took the braids out I tried a no-lye relaxer and found out that it doesn't totally straighten all that hair! Let it air dry and you had a big ball of frizz! Comb it when it was dry and guess what! a big ball of frizz! oops!
HC talk about a blessing in disguise!
HC in the mornings I wet it, put some frizz ease on, spray it with "dream curls" and I'm out
HC 5 minutes TOPS
HC I blow dry and flat iron it straight about once a month with frizz ease blow dry serum though
HC that requires blowdryer, flat iron AND curling iron, which I hate!
HC I might pick up a hood dryer and some curlers and try to dry it with cold air and rollers....
HC like I said, WAY more time than I want to spend, but the health of my hair is toooo important at this stage. I am not trying to undo all that growth I got through braids!
HC if that works out then I might straighten it more often, but right now curly works

HC the only time I didn't use heat on my relaxed hair was when it was in braids?
HC even if I wore a ponytail, I made sure the ends were curled?
HC that's not completely true?
HC when I was rockin' a short style I only had heat when I went to the beauty shop?
HC short relaxed styles are the BOMB?
HC all you have to do is finger comb it?
HC STILL every two weeks there is some heat?
HC I'm LOL @ "to' up?"
HC I'm also LOL @ "normal hair relaxed with a regular lye relaxer?"
HC, Soror, you are too funny, and I don't think you even mean to be?
HC thank you for my morning laugh?
