Your hair is beautiful in it's natural state. I like the blow-out pics.
Ditto!
Your shrunken afro is F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!!!!!And I love your BAA. It's so hawt you've got animals calling it out:
I don't think I used to condition well when I used to get a press like yours, so there must be something to that since I've improved on that. I still can't say no to 'wet-to-dry' presses because they have never failed me. Even back when all I knew were presses like yours, I changed that with them. I don't stretch by blowdrying but use Curlformers in my effort to cut back on the heat I use. I then use a wet protectant for one pass of the iron (the WTD step), then I apply a serum and pass the iron one more time.
But OP if your hair feels smooth and soft and manageable, I say that's all you need. Dominican Blowout look great but how many horror stories have you heard? So better to get a press that doesn't look that great but still have a healthy head of hair. I think Mwedzi's presses are a good example that silky straight is not always the best way to go. Her mane is SICK!!!!

I just wanted to add to try the maxiglide on 5 with a better blowout before turning it up to 8. You may be surprised how a good blowout can change your results. I use mine on 5-6 and you seem to have a looser texture than me. My flatiron results are in my siggy.
ETA: The picture on the right is when I flat ironed my hair myself.

Her hair is lovely and soo thick! I have thick hair too, but not as lush as hers!
Oh and how ironic is it that today I have my best curly hair day? All the curls are defined and pretty... haha I guess my hair never wants to be put through the torture of heat again, so it decided to be on it's best curly behavior!

Whoah I am like the antiphotogenic today... haha Focus on the hair... focus on the hair. Well it is 1 am... so that's my excuse- late night photo op.
anyway... I have so many different textures of hair on my head, but this is a wash and go. So these are the curls untouched.
