The Down Side of Flat Ironing in the Summa Summa Tiiiimmmeeeee....

The disadvantages of flat ironing natural hair in the summer can be quite obvious!

•Heat on Heat

The heat of the blow dryer and flat iron paired with the intense summer heat are just NOT a good combination! These things together can just cause extra stress on our delicate curls. Espesically if you keep adding heat to achieve a style. Major heat damage.

•Humidity

Summer rain may be nice to beat the heat, but not for hair that can frizz up ten seconds after you step out the door! The moisture in the air can revert your hair back and snap it into frizz mode in the quickness!

•Washability

Since you are trying to retain the style, obviously you can not wash/ Co wash. Which means no cool breeze of fresh Co wash juice drippin on you through out the day (lol).

•Sweat

Heat= sweat=sweaty scalp=frizzy roots=a hot mess. Need I say more?

All in all....its just not good for your hair to straighten in the summer. Especially if you are newly natural. Plus, in my opinion, I like the co wash juice that cools you down--- :-)
