Ok, my hair length is great, but it shrinks up so much I am uncomfortable at times wearing my fro. So I was thinking what could I do to stretch it out some without straightening....and I remembered a post on LHCF about using the blowdryer on the hair while stretching out the hair( I think it was Pinkskates) & keeping the dryer moving up & down the length of the hair. So, I did something similar but on cool setting mostly and only partially drying my hair, completely avoiding my ends. So here are the steps I did:
- Prepoo with Ojon with heat 30 minutes.
- Shampoo with Ojon Mositurizing Poo(sulfate free).
- DC with my Joico!
- HE Breaks over for the combout, sealed with castor oil.
- Used the blowdry on cool & warm setting while stretching hair, holdings the ends to avoid drying out.
- Put a roller on each section immediately after.
- Airdry overnight.
I don't know what I will do with it in the morning, depends on how it looks! That's it...update tomorrow. I know, I know, pics too!
PS: I love what this technique did to my hair! My fro is longer & fluffy!! Even my hubbie kept touching it!
Is it long enough for twists or braids that you could wear overnight and take out in the morning?
ReplyDeleteI have tried it twisted & braided overnight, but the shrinkage is still excessive.
