What are you ladies using to moisturize hair without it reverting? My usual moisturizer is AOHSR and water in a spray bottle so I know that won't work. I've been using coconut and grape seed oil on my ends for the past two weeks, but I know that isn't enough.

I use hello hydration mixed with aloe vera juice and glycerin. Its nice and creamy

Hey ladies sorry to let you down - my mother passed away a little over a month ago and I haven't really had time to think about hair.

Someone else please host the challenge. Thanks.

Hey ladies. I hope all is well with everyone. I got my hair blown out last Friday. Other than a little root reversion it still looks/feels good. Im trying to make it last a month like sistawitrealhair on yt

 

[Adiatasha]

How we doing ladies.. I'm going to blow dry tomorrow!!

 

[caliscurls]

Have moved to blow drying weekly on medium/low heat after air drying for a while. My heat protectant is the oils in my oil rinse. Been doing this since June and so far so good. My ends look great and I'm gaining length.

 

[EnExitStageLeft]

I've been blowdrying my hair monthly and so far so good. My hair's health is optimal at this point and I'm hoping that this will continue. I've been experimenting with silicone conditioners and mannnnnnn ole' mannnnnnn I'M LOVING IT! I will be picking up two more today, but will use silicone free conditioners for the 3-4 months, so that I can use up product. I'll just make up for the "lack of cone" by using an extra pump of my serum before blow drying.

 

[Adiatasha]

Blowdrying and flat twisted... So far so good !

 

[Prettymetty]

I'm loving my blowout. I got a trim yesterday too. I hope this one lasts a couple weeks

 

[yakuria]

[Prettymetty]

[ckisland]

[Lylddlebit]

I was on the fence for 2014. I want to join for 2015. I am back into my straight hair phase.

 

[Prettymetty]

My blowout has lasted a whole month I am getting it redone on Monday

 

[Soratachi]

I would like to join the 2015 one as a Natural with BKT (Formalehyde free sp?).
I intend to use heat more to easily stretch my hair and keep it straight.

Getting it done for Christmas.

 

[DoDo]

I was wishy washy with this challenge in 2014 but I am all in for 2015.

 

[Smiley79]

I want to join this next time around.

 

[caliscurls]

I'm in for 2015

 

[TeeSGee]

[Prettymetty]

My November blowout (done on 11/25)

 

[Lylddlebit]

Moved to the 2015 thread. This was just my starting post answers and picture. All moved to the 2015 beat the heat thread that was started today 12.28.

 

[Sweet_Ambrosia]

Where's the 2015 thread?.. I searched and nothing came up.

 

[Lylddlebit]

I had been waiting for the thread myself. Hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes but I will go ahead and start one. If I get any of the rules wrong or anything someone please says so. I'll post the original rules with the exception of the prize. I am guessing since the op is no longer involved that the prize is no longer a given. Correct me if I am wrong please.
