Re: pressing....something to think about!

Maybe it will work for one person but not everyone. I had my hair pressed from about 1996 - 2001. It looked thin and dull. It was often dry (I don't consider pressing oil or "grease" a real moisterizer). I always had split ends because of the constant heat. I recently got a texturizer and I have had the best results. My hair still looks natural when wet, but when blown straight it takes on the body of a relaxer. Won't frizz up as easy as with a press either. A press did nothing nice for my hair. It made my hair break off constantly.

I know using a hot comb may be considered old fashion to some of us but is this true..........that pressing is good for our hair.
I usually get my hair perm but if pressing is better I'm willing to give it a try.
