Awwww!
You ladies always know how to make a gal smile. Thanks a million. Talking about a weave - a young lady did tell me that shortly after I walked out of the salon.
She said "Is that your hair?"
I said "Yes it is."
She said "Girl that looks like a weave."
I
at how she looked at me and said it, then thanked her because I knew she didn't mean anything bad by it. It was a good feeling because my hair has been very frustrating and challenging the first 3 months of this year. By the way, I think I finally found my staple stylist

I think tomorrow I may bite the bullet...and buy a new blow dryer and flat iron. It's time. I've had mine FOREVER and they're about to kick the bucket. If I'm gonna have to depend on doing my own hair while I'm away, I might as well have some decent tools to do it with

I have a Hana flat iron and i adore it! Not an Elite tho, i went for the Pro but the elite is supposed to be ceramic just like the FHI, but quite a bit cheaper. They've done reviews on the two of them on here, you can look it up.
I had a Hana elite, that's the one that's like the fhi runway right? It was pretty good til it broke. The ones that r 100 percent ceramic break easily, u can't drop them. I'm very clumsy.
I have a fhi runway as well. But I think I must've had it too high and burnt my hair or something and now I cant get the smell out of the plates so I refuse to use it anymore even tho I paid all that money for it. Whenever I try to use it, the burnt smell from the plates gets in my hair. My stylist also used to have a runway but now uses platform or eps (another fhi) , never asked her why the switch.
I think the platform is a solid basic flatiron and not too expensive.

Hmm...I'm kinda clumsy too so now I'm worried lol. I'm gonna go browse around Sally's and TJMaxx/Marshall's today on my lunch break and see what they have. Look up a few on Amazon after I get back.
But blow dyers...that's a whole 'nother story. I haven't heard any rave reviews on blow dryers in ages

FHI Blow dyer and Platform flat iron are the two I use. I also have Marcel and Kizure(the iron mop top maven suggested) and when its time for me to straighten I'll be using those. I know a lot of older women with waist length hair who swear by pressing combs. What do you ladies think.... Are pressing combs better for your hair health then flatirons or vice versa?

I like my fhi blow dryer. Back when I used to straighten all th time I could def tell a difference in using it vs the cheaper one I used to keep at my bfs house

Okay so I browsed Sally's today and saw a few interesting flat irons and blow dyers. I almost bought a Conair Yellowbird b/c of SimplYounique or however it's spelled Plus they have the Jibere flat irons that she uses. No purchases though. I did get some more Manic Panic though

@ManiiSweetheart You know your wrong
TheNDofUO I'm feeling that style, how long are you keeping them in for?
@Aggie WOW! Your hair is looking soo healthy!
@shortdub78 Have you tried ORS replenishing Pak or condish/ CON Argan oil intensive treatment?
@NikkiQ I keep hearing good reviews about Remington Shine Therapy straighteners, its price is reasonable its worth a try. I may treat myself for my bday
and review

I would say excuse the gray, but compared to last month, this is nothing
I have noticable grey hair as well...i.am thinking of going honey blonde...anyone know what that does to grey? Does it look white.
I am glad you posted...super curls.
