6 months NO heat challenge

I embarked on a no heat challenge for the last 6 months. It started on the 4th of January and ending on the 4th of July.

I can't say I really missed using heat, I have become so used to styling my hair with no heat. I did Bantu knot out, twist out, flexirod, buns etc

So what have I learnt on the way..

1. Using the cool setting on the blow dry to stretch my hair was a great discovery

2. I can also dry my sets using cool air.

3. Even though I was not using direct heat, I have to remember to protect my hair against the heat from the sun. Grapeseed oil is a great sun protectant.

4. My hair prefers to dry using cool air than natural air drying 

5. Using week long protective styles helped through the challenge

I have really enjoyed this challenge. My plans going forward are to keep some form of a no heat challenge but not stretch it to as far as 6 months. 

Here is my flat ironed hair results. Just is also my 6 months length check.

P.s you can tell my camera man wasn't close by. :p

Have you even done a no heat challenge? 

Happy Hair Journey Ladies! :o)
