Guess what I did today?

On a whim I got my hair straightened. I went to JCP and it took three wonderful ladies almost three hours to blowdry and flat iron my hair. I dunno but I think I might be done with straightening my hair for good after this. LMAO unless it's the Dominicans maybe. This was a lot of work! 

The before picture

Before going in I untwisted my hair that had been in 2-strand twists for the last two weeks, shampooed, did a protein treatment, conditioned, deep conditioned with my steamer and ACV rinsed. All in 1.5 hrs. I then went over to JCP where S started working on my hair. She wasn't too sure how to tackle it but with a few pointers from yours truly she jumped right in. We had a tag team thing going in with me detangling my hair and she blowdrying it.

My detangled twists up top surrounded by blowdried loveliness

nice shine going on.

I want to take a moment to say praise the Lord for the tangle teezer! OMG I had some horrible knots but thanks to the TT I was able to detangle in a timely fashion (less than an hour). Trust me I tried my comb, my hair wasn't having it. lol. About an hour in, S's colleague J came over to help blowdry my hair. Once blowdrying was complete, it was time to flat iron and with closing time drawing near B joined the party, helping to flat iron.

J, B and S hard at work on my hair
Well after 2.5-3 hrs, here was the final result. Drum Roll Please!!!!
