First flat iron in 2 years!
Yay! I finally did it I was on the fence because you know I am really anal about the health of my hair and didn't want to flat ironed for obvious reasons. I took all of the precautions I could think of, prayed and then allowed someone else to flat iron my hair. Yep. I know after the last experience 2 years ago I vowed to just do it my self if I EVER decided to have it flat ironed again. I didn't want to do it so I guess I had to trust someone! Kimberly Christopher at Kimberlyc.com is the stylist that I chose to tackle all of these kinks! I did consult with her first so she would know all of my concerns and see what the nature of my hair is like.(Thick and tangley!) I was very pleased with how smooth she was able to get it without too much heat. We talked about not taking the heat any higher than 400 and adjusting the heat lower for the looser textures. Hopefully all that worked out! (I cringe at the possibility of heat damage), I did notice that she only did a couple passes with the flat iron which was good. Also prior to the blow out, she put in chunky twists and set me under a dryer for a few minutes to stretch it out some. So she wasn't blow drying it forever.

| blow out..I was shocked |
Blow drying at a salon (IMO) can be a pretty stressful session on natural hair that isn't straightened much. I was kind of cringing with every rake of the brush! Be sure you do everything you can to fortify your hair(deep condition, moisturize, Pre-poo). Do whatever you can to get as much moisture in as possible) I only had about a week to get my hair ready, I wish I would have taken 2 weeks! The more moisture sessions prior to the better. Overall I was very please with my hair, and I'm happy that I made the decision to flat iron it. I wouldn't encourage anyone to do it unless its something you really desire and has given a lot of thought about because I think it is definitely a gamble. I am praying every day that all of my strands revert back! knew what I was getting into so I'd say make sure you are prepared for whatever. (I wouldn't flat iron on the spare of the moment or out of frustration because there's definitely a higher risk of damage with that.)
