The other day I was talking to a sales lady at AT&T and the subject turned to natural hair. She mentioned flat ironing her hair, and I kinda guffawed because we've had 100+ temperatures this past week and humidity through the roof. I had to ask how long her blowouts last, and guess what she said? She said it lasts til she washes it!! A week, two weeks... It stays straight. She doesn't even have to retouch it. Y'all know I was jealous right? Seriously, my hair starts to frizz up the day after I straighten it. Even when I did my blowout in December (when the humidity is pretty much non-existent) it started poofing up the next day. I did notice that her hair appeared courser than mine, and maybe that had something to do with it. We didn't have time to talk products though.
Now my mission is to find out whether I need to use different products or whether my hair type is just rebellious. Actually, scratch that last part; I know my hair is rebellious. The question is whether or not it can be tamed!
