I know exactly what heat does to my hair...destroy it, but I can't seem to stay away from it. Now, I'm paying the price. As usual... While my hair still feels soft to the touch and fairly healthy, it looks dry and very frail. This is my flat twist out results. I did about 8 twists. The results were pretty good, but I couldn't stand the flaking I got using the cantu leave in That product does NOT work well with others! *Sigh* Maybe I'll try another leave in next time. Blessings J
