Tai, Im natural with 4a/4b hair and i get my hair pressed once a year for a trim, therefore my hair has not been " trained straight", or whatever other euphamism that someone would want to enter about damaged, fry raked hair. My hair says straight for 2 weeks..hear it...2 not 1 day but 2 weeks!!! So heres the secret:
1) No sweating- I'm used to running every day so this was hard
2) No hair products except for shine gloss and stuff that doesnt put moisture back into your hair b/c moisture equals frizz in Miamis humidity at least
3) Dont let people touch your hair wioth their sweaty a@@ hands...not your man, your woman, lova, or friend...NOBODY!!!
4) Just like sex.....U betta wrap it up. In the shower, in the bath, sitting in the house, and especially sleeping.
So, therefore, I guess you see why I only do it ONCE a year...
Whit
