I wear my hair natural. I usually where braids but I`d like to try a press and curl or something else that doesn`t include harsh chemicals. everytime I call a salon they either dont deal with natural hair or they try to convince me to get a relaxer. it took me a long time to grow out the chemicals and I dont want to go back. If anyone knows where I can go with my natural hair please let me know I live in Queens. Thanks

Sorry, I live on the West Coast so I don`t know of any natural salons in your area. But there is a good book called "Let`s Talk Hair" by Pamela Farrell that shows detailed instructions of styling natural hair, such as twists, twists-outs, palm-rolls, and others. There is also a website, www.ourhair.net which has instructions at styling hair in their "how-to" section.
Good luck and kudos to you for standing up for your hair against hairdressers who insist on straightening it against your wishes.
