It looks great. Did you use a blowdryer with a comb attachment or did you use a brush?
Aphogee Green Tea / LOTS OF PICS...

Thank you loca!!!! I used a blowdryer, but I had to section my hair for detangling... it was like a jungle
I parted four sections and detangled one section at a time, then I blowdried and tried the tension method (pulling hair downward)... and trying to blowdry on a downward angle.. then I braided that section and moved to the next.ETA: I have a comb attachment, but its a no go for me. My hair and the attachment went at it and it was a bloodbath, some lost hairs and some lost teeth (for the comb)

I did the SAME thing but the roots were still puffy. I tried using a brush to blow dry but the brush was stuck in my hair

Mine looks like that too. I have the new one, where Keratin is near the middle of the ingredient list. From what I understand, keratin used to be much higher.
Where is Keratin in yours, OP?
Thank you Jen!!!

Loca, I hate poofy roots, so I get the iron as close as possible and tilt it towards my scalp, sliding down... for flat ironing, I start at the back of my head, hitting the roots hard in every section... I have never liked ripples in my hair, when its supposed to be straight.
Maybe try very small sections (which will take more time, but yield smoother results
) My hair is easier in the back, the middle takes more effort. The front, I really focus on the roots as well.for blowdrying your roots, try smoothing hair down about an inch to 2 inches (from your scalp) and hold the brush in place and direct the heat to that area. As the hair lifts, re-smooth with the brush and hold it in place file focusing the heat there. The tension should help and then you finish off with the flatiron... Hopefully that made since

Thank you fully!!!! Post pics!!!

So it looks like OP, robot, and I have the new one...Mom has the one OP posted. I did some research and it looks like the OLD formula has hydrolyzed silk as the 3rd ingredient. I don't mean to hijack by any means but has anyone used the new and old formula and found a difference in their hair?
