This month I reached APL at the longest part in the back and I had my first flat-iron. After flat-ironing about 1 to 2 inch of hair was trimmed off due to some splits and knots. My hair was straightened at Abstrakt Salon & Spa (http://www.abstraktsalonspa.com/index.html) in Greenville, North Carolina. The owner/stylist, Tanya, used BKT (brazilian keratin treatment) on my hair. She is really focused on hair care and I absolutely love the salon!
