4 months of NG + Mini Glide = OMG!!!

[~Sparklingflame~]

I have a FOREST of new growth and today I FINALLY decided to use the Mini Glide that came with the Maxi Glide I bought 3 years ago on the NG.

Lawd it looks like I actually have a relaxer!!!!

I just may be able to be a long term transitioner after all.

AWESOME!!! I was thinking about getting a maxi-glide but am still growing out my natural hair and won't use it until I have some true length. Your going natural???? YAAAYY!!! I can't wait to see your progress and transition. I saw that puff in another thread and got excited! LOL

Okaaaaaay.

Heres the 4 months of NG that the Mini Glide took care of.

Here is what it looked like when I first did it. This pic is sorta wack, I know.

And heres how it always ends up. Again, the pic is wack.

I blow dryed it in 6 sections with Fantasia Frizz Buster. I really could have just stopped there b/c that Frizz Buster aint no joke. I felt adventurous and used the Mini glide and I REALLY went all out and curled the ends with a free curling iron I got from Sallys a few years ago. It was small, 3/4 inch barrel, but thats all I had. I havent used a curling iron since high school/college I think.

The Mini Glide doesnt have a temp gauge. The curling iron did and I set it for 330.

I looove that MINI glide gurl! When I first tried it, I was skeptical because I don't typically like to deal with any hair appliance that doesn't allow me to control the temperature. Not to mention the fact that it has unremoveable comb plates and I was concerned about snagging and breakage but once I used it on my new growth, I was pleasantly surprised!

The one thing I will say though is that you really do have to take your time with it, don't you? I'm laughing because I can be really impatient so every act I make on my hair is a test in patience! The first time I tried the mini glide, I fidgeted, started blowing hard, stretched and almost talked myself out of it but in the end, I got through it and it was well worth it!! it helped carry me through to my 17th week and before that I'd only managed to make it to week 12!!

Your hair looks fabulous and thanks for taking the time to post a pic! This is sure to inspire some of us who find ourselves wrestling with our new growth!

 

[Dposh167]

yesss. I've been using the mini glide for my ng for a while. It does an awesome job

 

[BostonMaria]

Great job! Your hair looks gorgeous! You laid down your edges pretty well. I should have bought a flatiron at the beginning of my journey (2007) because it would have saved me the heart ache I went through when detangling

Yes I really took my time. There is no way you can rush thru it and do a good job.

I was just amazed that I was able to straiten the roots with just 1 pass!

I see its $30. Thank God mine came free with my Maxiglide back when I bought it.

I rarely post anything but I came in to co-sign on the mini glide!! I also recieved it for free when I bought my Maxi Glide. I used it last night for the first time and loved it!! My hair was soft and felt like I had just gotten a relaxer (I'm 7 months post). I was suprised that it didnt take longer than usual to flat iron my hair so that was a plus. Anywho, just wanted to throw my two cents in and encourage others to try it out And I know you all want pics so here you go:

Sparklingflame, your hair is beautiful.

 

[Judwill07]

Girlygirl08, I don't post that much either, but I like the way your hair turned out too. I'm feeling a little inspired about my strech now. I'm 18 weeks post and just taking it one day at a time.
