Flat Ironing Routine

when i flat iron my hair i get great results in the front but in the back where i can barely see i neglect it. so for to press my hair and then go over it with a flat iron to get the silkier look. i follow up by wrapping my hair and when i un wrap it my hair is super straight. Also I blowdry my hair very straight otherwise if i try to air dry and then press i will be in pain. I have lots of hair.

 

Last time I attempted to starighten, my hair was too wet which caused very wavy roots and my hair wasn't fully detangled either. So, last night, I M&S'ed clean dry hair and plaited Cleo in 8 Celie plaits. The moisture came from my conditioner and leave in. I wasn't heavy handed as I usually am, but my hair was moisturized. My hair is now fully dry. Later, I will unravel each plait, comb thru to make sure hair is fully detangled. Then, I will take the blowdryer with the comb attachment(on low-med setting) and straighten my hair more. Last, I will flat iron. I think I will get the desired look I'm looking for. Hopefully

 

Then I flat ironed/ comb chased  small sections, using the comb allowed me to only have to pass the iron thru each section one time. It also got my hair super straight. After flat ironing I took a lil grapeseed oil and just ran it over the surface of my hair and on the ends.

 

Hopefully I can maintain this for at least another week.
