The truth about my hair

 
Lately I have received a bunch of questions about my hair, so I decided to do a quick post to answer them.
 
The truth is...I have combination hair. It's weird. Most of my hair is naturally curly, but some of it is naturally straight. However, I prefer to keep my hair straight via flat iron. It's just easier for me.

  I'm not really picky when it comes to shampoo and conditioner, but Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree products are my favorite. I also use ApHogee Reconstructor occasionally.

After washing and conditioning, I use a blow dryer and CHI iron to straighten my hair.
 
 Here are the products I use for straightening:
 
 
 
Before blow drying, I apply a quarter-sized amount of Phyto botanical hair relaxing balm. This stuff is amazing! It helps straighten the curls, and it has a dehumidifying effect (so your hair won't puff up so much if there's moisture in the air).
 
Before flat-ironing, I apply a dime-sized amount of CHI silk infusion to protect my hair from the heat. It also adds a nice shine without weighing my hair down.
 
If my hair is a little dry, I add a dime-sized amount of Design Essentials Botanical Oils.

(It sounds like a lot, but it only takes about 15 to 20 minutes).

That's all folks!
 
Have a great day!!
