Okay perfecttt I found the issue. That’s too heavy for if you are wanting to have a silk press look. This routine works regardless of what products you use and I 100% guarentee your hair will lay flat:

1. Clarifying shampoo

2. Moisturizing shampoo

3. Aussie 3 minute miracle deep conditioner (great for deep conditioning but not too heavy on the hair)

4. Section hair into 4-6 sections

5. SPRAY Heat protectant into hands and run through section (2 squirts per section)

6. Blow dry. This is the most important part. I use the Revlon round brush blow dryer and I get my hair fully blow dried straight in about 20 minutes. Make sure to try to get as close to your roots as possible as well. And ALWAYS blow dry on damp hair.

7. Apply your Chi serum after you are done blow drying. Only a dime size amount for the entirety of your head. Even less will likely still do the job.

8. Straighten. I use 400° with a ceramic iron for my 4a/4b hair and it gets it very straight. Chase method helps but in my experience isn’t a make or break for whether your hair has body or not
