2 weeks ago, I straightened my hair! It had been 5 months since I had done so and I was ready to check out my length, plus my new color J I finally tried out the newest products added to the Motions line- Straight Finish (Motions® Hair Care can be purchased at Target, Walmart and www.drugstore.com) . This trio includes 3 products: Straight Finish Cleanser, the Straight Finish Leave-In Conditioner & the Straight Finish Sealer. I’m pretty good at blowing and straightening my hair.

It’s starting to be consistently warm in Atlanta (yay!) and it’s about the time that I am really getting the itch to do something different with my hair…and I’m thinking straight!  I straighten my hair from time to time to (a) check out the length  (b) to see how my ends are holding up and (c) just to rock something different.

When you do flat iron your hair or get it straightened at a salon, what do you use? I use a CHI or a FHI and use CHI’s thermal protectant spray. Please share your ceramic iron favorites and products. *Remember to put only a healthy amount of heat on your hair. You don’t want it to be damaged. Also, I would stay away from salons that use stove irons still- ceramic...
