I used a bunch of peoples different methods and I am pleased with the results. After I used the ORS Replenshing Pak I put Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In let it airdry for a little, then I put Fantasia IC Heat Protectant Serum in my hair and blew it dry using pinkskates tension method. Then I flat ironed it using the comb and chase method I don't know whose method that is but thanks, then after I flat ironed it I bumped the ends and viola!! Thanks everyone whose videos, fotkis and threads I stalked. I loved the end result.

Wow!!! You did a really good job. I'm still perfecting my technique, but sadly enough, I won't be flat ironing until next December. Your hair looks fantastic :grin:
 
Look at you; great job and gorgeous hair!
It's so cool to see naturals straighten their hair,
it is always a surprise to see how long it really is.
 
Lookin good!!! Your hair looks so full and healthy, you did a great job! And you're very pretty, too! :)
 
I love it! Wow you look like a completely different person compared to your natual shots. lol.

I probably looked different too. I realized I assumed two different things about you from the two different haistyles. Interesting. Like how can I explain...like thought up two sepaate identities based off a hairstyle. Light weight ignorant to do..bad part about humans well atleast ME..making assumptions off of appearance...but...it was interesting still.

Anyways..you look fabulous!

:lachen::lachen: I don't know if you meant that to be funny but I'm cracking up. I remember from my pictures, people on the board thought I was short, like 5'2 when I'm really 5'9 lol. And my coworker at work told me she was surprised to see I looked pretty with my hair straighten because she never sees it, I pretty much where my hair in it's natural state at all time, I'll be back in twists next week I miss the curlies already:grin:
