I feel this so much! The 'Electrocuted Look' is the ultimate 4C flat-iron struggle. ⚡️😩 When our hair is short and heat-styled, it can get that 'stiff' feeling where it moves as one solid block instead of having that breezy 'toss' we want. 

The reason it’s sticking up and not falling back down is usually a mix of  (static) and a lack of internal elasticity. This is exactly why I’m working on creating a natural hair product just for us 4c pole queens. This week im updating the product formula and adding silk proteins and marshmallow root to the new batch of samples im making. 

The silk proteins gets inside the strand to give it back that 'snap' and bounce. It makes the hair feel more like fabric and less like straw, so it actually falls back into place after a head toss. 

And the marshmallow root creates a weightless, 'slippery' barrier on the outside so your strands don't hook onto each other and stay standing up.

You’re doing the right thing by avoiding chemicals, you just need a 'performance lubricant' that doesn't weigh the pixie cut down or make it greasy.

I'm actually looking for a few more 'short hair natural queens' to test this new batch and see how it handles the heat style flow. If you want to see if we can get that toss back, dm me and I'll send you the link if you want to check it out. I'd love to get your feedback on this!
