SO i used my pink chi for the 1st time yesterday. I washed and conditioned normally, applied chi silk infusion, blow dried with a round brush to straighten the roots a little and then i seprated into 3 sections, sprayed fantasia IC on each section and flat ironed. My hair was swinging and stuff. It felt great to wear my hair down for 1 day. In back in a ponytail now :( i cant risk getting it snagged and beat with the cold weather.
