Droolicious hair…
You see…
I love perusing all things hair, especially natural hair…
Be it on TV…
In magazines…
On Youtube….
Hair blogs…
Hair forums…
You get the the point right?

In case I have never mentioned this before…I live in two strand twists…
Percentage? About 98 % of the time…
It suits my lifestyle perfectly. No fuss, low maintenance and protects my ends.
I do however, give myself one day out of the week to enjoy my hair.
The day before wash day, I have permission to style my hair.

It is a wonderful challenge…to try and do something different.
Due to the fact that I consistently follow the same steps on wash day week after week, I can predict how my hair will behave or look after unraveling the twists.

Two to three months ago, I decided to flat iron my hair to celebrate a special milestone in my life. So I started planning for it. I had all the tools necessary to do the job except for a flat iron. After going natural two or so years ago, I gave my flat iron away to avoid the temptation of using heat. I kept the blow dryer though…don’t know why…but I did.

I watched countless videos on different flat ironing methods. When Thursday finally rolled around, I was armed with my new flat iron, old blow dryer and CHI Silk Infusion.

After close to five hours…yes five hours because I was gently de-tangling each section and flat ironing very small sections at a time.

Erm…yeah. This happened;
