OK and here's what I plan to do
TOMORROW
in the morning pre poo/hot oil with coconut oil, olive oil mixed with some tea tree, rosmary, and spearmint oil to try to discourage my scalp from flaking quickly (sigh). Sit for 9-12hours under a cap
In the evening clarify my hair and scalp with I'm thinking just vo5 clarifying shampoo. Also do a tea rinse (I'm thinking green and nettle)
Immediately apply protein (2 step, or gelatin) rinse and proceed to condition with silk elements dc.
Sit under dryer, or steam for up to an hour.
Leave overnight.
MONDAY
Morning rinse dc and wash with creme of nature sulfate free shampoo(make sure hair is crazy clean so up to 3 times)
Rinse with either super diluted into a safe hair range acv, or aloe Vera.
Spray with treseme heat spray.
Air dry for a few under a t shirt for about 8 hours or ~60% dry hair.
Blow dry using re niece method of ends first on high speed medium heat.
Rest hair for 20 minutes while Flatiron heats up press on about 350-375 one pass. I'm going to have to try to have it straight with no body which I hate lol so that they can clip it correctly.
Any tips ladies??
I think this is what I'll do, in the past I don't usually prepoo, clarify or protein before a press when I do it. I usually just condition, wash, leave in, heat protectant, blow and straighten. If I had enough curlformers I'd dry my hair l Iike that for a while and I may still do that keep half my hair under a t shirt, while the other half dries in curlformers for an hour then switch them and blow dry the half that was in the curlformers and curlform the half that was under the shirt lol
