I just got my hair out of braids, and I get it pressed every two weeks. The problem is it can`t stay straight for that long. Anybody got some tips as to how I can keep it straight, or some styles I can put it in when it`s getting nappy? If it`s any help my hair is about mid-shoulder length.

I know how you feel. I had the same problem. Having your hair pressed is not going to last. You may want to consider a mild relaxer. You could even try a kiddie relaxer if you don`t want to use the adult relaxers. This depends on the texture of your hair.

I ended up using African Pride relaxer. I had no problems with it. I hope this helped you and I hope that some other people will be able to help you.
