They both can be damaging if not done correctly. I think pressing is more safer then pressing. ------------- "God makes no mistakes" he created you the way you are suppose to be. |

Pressing is better to me b/c I can return to my natural texture since it isn't permanent...just moisterize regularly and press with a warm straightening comb or flat iron. I prefer a good flat iron for my hair since it's isn't kinky or super thick. -------------

I not sure but someone told me that relaxed hair wouldn't work w/ a curly perm. I'd ask a beautician first. -------------

Dear Jasmine thank you very much for you reply . i would have asked a beautician but there is no way i can get one over here .. so do you think if only i applied it on new growth it would help ? ------------- Hair type: 4a or 3C<--transitioning Hair length: 20" goal:relaxer free healthy hair Last relaxer: Sept 05 |

I agree, they can both be very damaging if not done correctly but I think if you can gow ithout putting tons of chemicals in your hair, you're better off. I have thick 4a relaxed hair and my hair grows better in my opinion when it is relaxed (Because it gets very tangled without.) but if I could go natural without the fear of monster tangles, I'd do it in a heart beat and just rely on the hot comb or flat iron. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |
