I flat ironed for the first time since the big chop in January '08. I washed with baking soda and did a protein DC (a mix of egg and hair mayo.) then conditioned for 10 mins with VS so sexy. All of this was done while my hair was in plaits, so I took each plait down moisturized with shea butter and applied some sabino, then blowdried. I flatironed with a chi ultra using the comb chase method but I knew I wasn't getting bone straight results, so I put each section in bantu knots as I went along, so I could get some style out of it. I wore it to my shcool's ball and it reverted by the end of the night. I'm probably going to incorporate BMP's hot comb method next go around. It was a good first time experience overall
