Keeping my hair straight

I figured a great way to make my hair straight and not too puffy. :D Before I say anything, I want to tell you this. I don't shampoo and use conditioner everyday. I don't use my flat iron everyday either. I sometimes might use some Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Smoothing Serum (it helps keep my hair soft and silky all day) if I fell my hair is really really dry.

Here is me now :)

So here is what I do:

1. I first like wash my hair with warm water until it feels soft and silky (takes like 2 minutes maybe).
2. Then I run it under cold water. (takes maybe 1-2 minutes).
3. I wrap my hair in a towel and like keep it there for 2-3 minutes. 
4. Then I use my hair dryer and dry my hair a little bit on the cool setting. 
5. Next I comb my hair and then use my hair dryer on the cool setting to dry my hair while I keep my hair straight with my fingers.
6. After it's like almost or completely dried, I comb my hair into the style I want. 
7. Then I stick the the concentrating attachment onto my hair dryer, stick the heat on high and concentrate all the heat onto my hair while pulling it straight with my straightening comb. (Well... I actually heat up the comb first, then style.) If you know what I mean... (I can't seem to find the straightening comb I use on Amazon. The brand is Conair and it's the one with a heat sensitive strip on it. Go see the picture below.)
8. After that, I cool off my hair with my hair dryer's cool setting. 
9. I comb for the last time and I look gorgeous all day. :P

My hair might still mess up a bit when wind blows it, but I just need to comb it a little bit again... Last for the whole day until I shower. It stays soft and silky. :)

Here is the straightening comb I use. It is from Conair.

Here are some other tips. Don't flat iron your hair everyday and don't shampoo everyday. It will damage your hair a lot. Flat irons will burn your hair if you use it too much or use it at a temperature too high for your hair. Using shampoo too much will strip away too much moisture and your hair's natural oils. I shampoo 1-2 times a week now. I tell you this from my personal experience. I used to shampoo everyday, but if you take a closer look at my hair, some of the hair on the side of my head is brown from lack of the natural oils... My hair used to be really hard from extra heat styling. Doing what I'm doing now, my hair is recovering from the damage I've done to it... It is kind of soft again... So don't style too much. It damages your hair!

Back from Vegas! :)

Hi guys! I just got back from Vegas on Friday. I didn't have any time to post so... Here I am doing it now...

It was raining really really big on the road there. It was also raining at Vegas through out the whole week. Here is a few pictures of when I crossed the borderline on the way home. What used to be desert is now lakes and marshland!

So anyways... That was how big the rain was... So on the way there, I passed a street called Zzyzx Road. How you suppose to read that?

Anyways, here is what I got in Vegas.

I got this stuffed animal elephant at Circus Circus. Employee gave it to me because the machine was broken. :)

This is the Las Vegas keychain I got. 

What I did in Vegas... Hm... Well I went shopping, play at Circus Circus, and watch shows. The shows I watched are Mystere, Zen Magic, and V Show. They were all pretty good. :) Well I think the magic tricks they showed in Zen Magic was a bit amateur... I didn't really get Mystere's storyline, if there was one... V Show was awesome. :) 

The rain was like really big... It stopped on the day when I came back... It was like literally flooding in Vegas... Too much rain... I couldn't cross the street directly. I walked like half a mile extra to go cross on a sky bridge because of the water... The gutters on the sky bridge wasn't that well designed either... There were a lot of water collected on it too. Good thing most of the stuff we did was indoors... Well Vegas is like indoors. LOL

So on the way back... Desert into lakes... And like before approaching Pleasanton, heavy fog for like 20-30 miles. Saw lot's of car crashes. You couldn't even see what was in front of you! Not exaggerating. What is this world coming to? Beginning of 2012? ROFL! Tell me what you think. :P Did you see how LA got flooded?! I saw that on TV. We were actually planning on going to Disneyland... Good thing we went to Vegas instead. HAHA. Actually we originally wanted to go to Reno, but heavy snowfall... Road closed. So we had to cancel... Then we wanted to go to Disneyland, but the other family that we were planning on going with said, Las Vegas... So we went to Vegas instead... So lucky. 

So when I got home from Vegas... My new hair styling and my Solia flat iron came. :D

New styling spray.  

My new Solia flat iron.

And here is my new look. :D Tell me how I look. 

This picture makes me look like a zombie... :\ Well tell me in the comments below...

Anyways, Las Vegas pictures will be going on my photography blog once I finish with my Yellowstone and San Francisco pictures.
