Mods - Can we make this a sticky or have it added to the one of the other stickies that already exists?

Here's a one stop shop for info for straightening natural hair. I know that straightening natural hair can be controversial for some naturals, but if you choose to do so, please be sure to use a heat protectant and not use too much heat whether you choose a flat iron or pressing comb. Also, consider roller setting to straighten your hair some before you use heat on it. We wouldn't want to damage those lovely locks. :) Feel free to add any helpful posts I may have missed. I tried to list the ones with the most information. HTH...

Ahhh, thanks. I've been toying with the idea of straightening my hair. You've save me loads of searching. Thank you.

P.S. I hope they make this a sticky!

Natural again ... this time for good!
Wow this thread is awesome. Thanks so much for pulling this together, Bmore. I'm not natural yet, but I will be one day. These will come in handy.

If the mods don't make it a sticky (though I don't see why they wouldn't), I'm definitely going to subscribe to it.

Co signing even though I don't use heat, who knows what the future holds right now I ain't interested but this information is very informative for us naturals who may decide to embark upon this in changing up hair styles.

Thank you so much for your due diligence! We need to protect these darling tresses no matter what we try to do to them.

Mods is it a sticky yet!? :dance7: Inquiring minds want to know! :yep:
