a good flatiron?

like most naturals, my straightening tools are just as important as my maintenance tools. straightening natural hair can have it’s challenges, but it can also be a breeze. luckily, i’ve passed the “challenging” phase of my hair care routine and it’s all a breeze now, litterally.

one of the things i MUST do is straighten my hair while it’s cool. so i always sit on the floor in front of my mirror with the fan blowing near me. not directly on me, but close enough to keep my scalp dry. i’ll easily sweat out a section i’d just finished if i’m not careful and this leaves me fustrated because i don’t want to have to do the section over again!

i use a sedu as my straightner + heat protectant, which for me is a must. not using a heat protectant gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. *shudders*
