Update [16] 2011 Hair Challenge-Lets Get This Straight

So it may seem like this is my second time straightening my hair, when in fact this is my  3rd time during this Hair Challenge...

[above are the tools i typically use when straightening my hair]

Why am I straightening my hair so much?

Because I'm trying to loosen my curl pattern. I kid you NOT! My hair is so difficult to detangle...so this process will help, plus I don't wear my hair naturally curly. So, it won't hurt nor harm the hair styles I wear.

Am I worried about heat damaged? 

No. 

But I don't plan on using heat on my hair THAT often. Once I straighten my hair for the week, I don't go back & flat iron it again.

Process:

-Wash/Detangle/Condition my hair

-Oil scalp

-apply a little of the Argan Oil

-Then the TRESemme heat tamer spray

-Blow Dry

Conair PRO Infiniti

-Flat iron

My hair challenge will be over next week :)

I hope this process doesn't hinder my healthy hair :-/
