HAIRY SITUATIONS: HEAT DAMAGE!

So...you've been doing your natural ya dig for some months now particularly 13 months you are almost a full natural...and then BOOM! you decide to go get your ends clipped at the shop and of course they have to flatiron it, but u are ok with it, you figure that yo hair can withstand a little heat since you havent put heat on your hair for quite some time....then two weeks later after the shop you wash your hair looking to see those beautiful curls...and your washing and washing and washing and washing...and for sum reason they arent coming back...and then you cry!.....yea thats the story of my life....
Below you can see what really happened...


(13 months w/o a perm-transitioning)-BEAUTIFUL!

(oohhh wiiii, thought my hair had grown, it was cute straight and shiny)-NOT!

(Two weeks later, I washed....and DAMAGE! DAMAGE! DAMAGE! And that is when my hair is wet so it shouldve looked like the 1st picture above...and it didnt) :(

My thoughts: Honest to say, although i said I wouldnt cry about it i did one night, it really broke my heart because I became so obsessed and proud of my 13 months..and I think I was more upset of the fact that I spent those months struggling with transitioning, becoming okay with natural hair, and everything that comes along with making this change and seeing the tight pretty coils and nearing full natural and then it just kinda going off the clip more so than my hair was damaged...if you know what i mean(like you spend sooo much time on something only for some person to come walk past and just tear it to shreds) thats what i mean.

But Im going to get over it, the more I wash it, its steadily coming back, but the curls still arent tight they are really loose and there are some spots that just arent reverting...but its ok..ive decided that the next 3 months, all the way through december Im going to work on getting my hair back to its healthy state, so moisture moisture moisture moisture!.....I am using a new product line SHEA MOISTURE!...and ill be writing a blog on that in the near future

But that is all! Tip of the day. DO NOT GET YOUR HAIR FLATIRONED BONE STRAIGHT, AND WITHOUT THE NECESSARY TECHNIQUES AND PRODUCTS TO FLATIRON YOUR HAIR. IF YOU DO IT THEN DO IT CORRECTLY!..MEANING MOISTURE MOISTURE MOISTURE AND LOW HEAT SETTINGS!..consider this a warning!
