Natural Hair by V.Adams: The Doux: Press Play (Thermal Straightening System 3 weeks) 9/10 **Best Silk and Smoothing

The Doux site had a sale so I bought the entire Press Play Thermal set including the foam wrap which is not pictured. The first time I tried the system I was following what one of their models did in a video. She used the Doux drops at the end AFTER flat ironing. Not sure what temp she used but I used 419 the first time and my hair was very frizzy after a few minutes. I changed the order a little the second time around to give it another try and increased the temp to 455 degrees. The Doux Drops is the real MVP. My hair was nice and smooth afterwards and did not feel weighed down even after using a liberal amount of product. My only con is the fact that you have to use so many products not counting the bonding shampoo or conditioner and they are expensive.

Upkeep: Wrap hair with doobie wrap and wear silk cap at night for bedtime

Day 1:

Doobie Wrap for bedtime. (you can tie a SILK scarf, turban or adjustable cap over the top of the doobie wrap, depends on how crazy you sleep) I tried to tie a silk scarf around my head but it gave me a headache so I use an adjustable silk turban instead. (it took two wears for the doobie wrap to loosen it up around my head, so no headache or tightness now). I would like this line to additionally have some type of holding finishing spray
