My daughter wants a hair straightener for her birthdayShe has gorgeous thick slightly wavy long hairShe could do a Pantene commercialShe has donated it twice to the wig shops for children with cancer and is growing it to donate it againIt takes two years to go from shoulders to waist lengthShe does not blow dry it or use chemicalsShould I hold off on the straightener? Will that ruin her hair so she can't donate itShe would like to keep on donating and donating, but now that she is in high school, she wants her hair to look smartAny advice?
Make a swatch and wash itSometimes that's the only way to know if a yarn will still be itchy before you make the whole blanket.
Get her a CHI ceramic flat iron and some thermal protectorTake small 1/8 inch sections of hair starting at the nape, apply a light spritz of thermal protector and starting close to the scalp press the hair in the iron and slowly slide down to endsThe best way to learn to use a flat iron is to take your daughter to the salon and have it done by a professional while you stand by and watchIt really is a very simply procedureThis way you won't hinder future hair donationsGood Luck!
