If your hair is pretty healthy (which i'm sure it is
) you should be ok. I know a lot of women who get their roots blown to prolong a touch up. A few months back I decided to get my roots blown for this reason and whew.... it felt nothing short of satan's arse on my scalp. Prior to this I hadn't gotten a blow out in ages, so it felt like it was my first time getting it done. I'm not a hair scientist, but I somehow suspect that flat ironing the roots might be the lesser of two evils.
I've thought to blow dry and flat iron also, but b/c I exercise and sweat in my hair my roots will revert in no time. If you are not a sweater and super skilled w/ the flat iron
, I think this is a good way to prolong your relaxer.
Whew, just typing this and getting the flashbacks of that blow dryer makes me cringer :crazy:
