So I straightened my natural hair so that I could trim & see now that I'm 100% natural how straight I could get my hair. It’s been 2 and ½ years since my last relaxer and one year since my last flat iron. I washed with Mizani Thermasmooth Shampoo, d/c’d with heat for 45 minutes with Mizani Thermasmooth Conditioner, left in overnight, rinsed. Applied the Lanza Healing Moisture Noni Fruit Detangler, Lanza Healing Smooth Smoother Straightening Balm, & Lanza Healing Strength Neem Plant Silk Serum. I air dried 75%, sprayed with Lanza Healing Smooth Thermal Defense Heat Styler, and blow dried the rest. I flat ironed with Chi flat iron adding Lanza Neem Plant Serum as needed throughout, curled with Chi curling iron. I'm pleased to know after all this work to go natural that I can still get my hair this straight. Here are the day 1 pics:
Here are the day 3 pics only applying a little serum to style. I would’ve tried to hold out for 7 days like I did when I straightened when I was still transitioning, but I really wanted to d/c again after my trim.
