Maybe someone can help me, Ill try to make my situation brief.
All year Ive had to Put my Mohawk in spikes (5 of them, tall and wide)
And I know how to do it right, Heres what I use: gel-Glue, Hot/cold shot blowdryer. Spikes come easy for me because my hair is thick, Elvis thick.
Now from what I understand about fanning is that it requires a Straightening Iron, those things like the curling irons, but made for straightening. I know they are. Unfortunatley I have never used one, I need someone to reply who has experiance using Striaghtening Irons or Curling Irons, or more knowledge in the area then myself - whatever works.
I need to know the following: Do these straightning irons also dry your hair? Or will I need aid from a blowdryer? Would they be safe to use on hair with glue in it? Remember that I have to start from the very bottom of my hair, (close to my head) to the very top. Where do you get a straightening iron? Same place they have curling irons? Like Sav-On? Ive seen some irons going from $18.00 all the way up to $78.00, I dont suppose it matters? What about the process? I suppose I would do it like this:
Thouroughly saturate hair with gel-glue, and comb in.
Next I would use the straightening iron on the preferred section, then the next section all the way untill im finished.
I think the heat in the iron would dry it out and to help it I would be using a blowdryer on high, coldshot. The hot/cold combination always works best for a quick dry and fast charge. I always use hairspray to liquify the gel if I need to correct something - Is hairspray a good idea with a straightening iron?
