Natural Hair Questions from ramonica3

Questions Number One:
How do I stretch my natural hair?

I tried to list the top three safest, tried and true methods.

1) Always start with wet, moisturized hair.
2) Use firm but not tight tension with all methods.

Banding











3)Separate hair into sections and detangle
4)Use multiple ponytail holders/rubber bands along the length of the hair at regular intervals to stretch hair, leave air banded until completely dry ( air of heat).

Braid-out/Twist-out/Bantu Knot-out
(some people prefer to twist and braid dry hair because they feel they see more length)
3)Separate hair into sections and detangle
4) make the desired size braid, knot or two or three strand twist
5) Let hair dry completely. (I usually wear the braids, knots or twists a day or two.)

Blow Drying
*gasps* (Yes, some people still use heat .)
3)Separate hair into sections and detangle
4a) use a diffuser and hold out your curls as you blow them dry.
4b) use a WIDE comb attachment and blow out each section.

Question Number Two:
How do I know my hair type?

I can't say any better than they do on Naturally Curly so:
Hair Typing

CHI 44 Iron Guard - for those who flat iron

Hello - it's straight-haired half of Knaps! 2 weeks ago I discovered that the CHI 44 Iron Guard is the best heat protectant I have ever used.

Retail Price:$14.99 - $17.99
Marshall's/TJ Maxx Price: $7.99!

Last week I bought the Chi 44 Iron Guard because it was on sale at Marshalls and I could return it if it didn't like it. I have been happy with all my other CHI products so far. The directions saying "spray on dry hair" is what made me want to try it. Most heat protectant sprays say to use damp hair.

Well .... my hair has come out BEAUTIFUL for the last 2 weeks straight! I used to have to hit my edges with the pressing iron... nope.. not after using this. I'm a girl who sweats easily and Ican say hands down that this DEFINITELY helped with my hair reverting.

I just wanted to share because I hadn't seen a lot of review of this but i was completely taken by surprise.
