Hi!
Thanks to your blog I purchased the Babyliss Nano Titanium flat iron after much researching. My question is in reference to moisturizing before flat ironing the hair. I have relaxed african-american hair btw. I’ve read that oils and flat irons don’t mix and that the combo can “cook” your hair. What type of moisturizer can I use in combo with a heat protectant?

Thanks!
Hi StyleBell Reader,
You should always use a thermal protector on your hair before straightening!  As for moisturizing  I believe woman with African America hair really like the Beyond Straight.  Beyond Straight is a straightening serum that helps to straighten the hair and protects from the heat of the iron.  So with Beyond Straight you only need one products.  At 16.95 it is nicely priced as well.
