Blow Out!!!!

Yes! I did it. After about two and a half months without heat, I finally decided to blow dry my hair. And I must say that I LOVE the results. Ladies, we're told to go without heat for a reason lol

To prepare for my blow out, I usually shampoo, deep condition and co-wash my hair. I do this to add an extra boost of moisture to hair to help protect it from any heat damage. (Further details on my regimen page) This time around I was in a bit of a rush to get my hair done, so I skipped the shampoo and deep condition steps.

....Wait what?

....Yea, I know. But I had a good backup plan.

Earlier this week, I co-washed my hair with my Herbal Essence Hydrolicious Featherlight Conditioner. It was my first time really using that conditioner and I absolutely loved it. My hair was soft and moisturized so I decided to bun it. This helped to keep my hair both detangled and moisturized.

Upon taking down my bun this morning, my hair was still soft and moisturized so I felt secure about my decision to skip the shampoo and deep condition. But I still co-washed!!! That's important to note. "Before applying any heat, always condition your hair first." That's a rule that I will ALWAYS stick to. I co-washed with Tresemme Naturals, also a new love of mine. Once done, I T-shirt dried for a few minutes to remove excess water and then I blow dried my hair.

Because I never have plans to flat iron, I separated my hair into four big sections, splitting each section into three to be blow dried. I applied my heat protectant of choice, grape seed oil, to each section. I use a denman brush for tension at my roots and my hands for tension on the rest of my hair.

My hair came out nice, silky and thick. Yay! Some parts were a little to fuzzy so I did a quick pass with my FHI flatiron through out my hair. Can you tell the difference? Lol

P.S. I'm 15 weeks post. Yay!

Yay for straight new growth!
