I hate my hair. I don't want to get another perm because it makes my hair break off. Does anyone know what i could do to make my press with the hot comb just as good as getting a perm/relaxer? thank you ------------- People are plenty, Friends are few I'm greatful to know, Someone as special as you! |

I don't know how hot combs work lately. My grandmother used one on my hair before I got it relaxed, but that was over 15 years ago. *shrug* Try this link, it might be of use to you. :) http:// - http://www.freshlookhair.com - http://www.freshlookhair.com ------------- Make every day you have count, before the time comes for you to count every day you have. |

You need to use the right products . I use a pressing oil or cream along with a heat protectant. I also only press (I use a flat iron) after washing and deep conditioning. I only do it every week or two and not everytime I wash my hair. However, I don't have any chemicals in my hair so you should be careful not to over press your relaxed hair. ------------- -Happy Hair Days Kim |

I recently discontinued the use of relaxers in my hair. Now, I just use a moisterizing shampoo and conditioner on my hair then I use a flat iron (made of glass). -------------

Have you tried Gold n Hot curling irons? They are the only ones that get superhot enough to straighten my nappy hair texture smooth and I only have to use a medium heat setting (level 5 out of 10 settings). Stretch out your hair first with twists or braids in maybe 10+ sections and let your hair dry in the looser pattern. It's unfortunate that you have given up on learning to love and care for your natural hair.
