The site seems to be down or under construction or something. The only link that works for me is the one to the discussion board, but the one I'm really interested in is the link to the pressing tips. Did anybody here by any chance ever copy and paste the information from the pressing pages to floppy disk or their hard drive? I'm really dying to get at the info!

I don't have them saved but I remember the basics of what was on the site. Basically, she said not too press your hair too often (1-2 times a month), only press clean hair, to use light oils to press, I believe she used Nexxus Botanicals oils, because heavy pressing cremes weight the hair down. She talked about pressing techniques..to use the back of the comb and not the teeth, that the comb shouldn't be too hot, parting the hair into 4 sections. That's all that I can remember but I hope that helps you out some. You can probably do a search for pressing hair here and get more detailed info.

i haven't saved it, but I tried to get on the site and it won't even let me do that.
Thanks for trying to help me out, ladies.
I have a couple good articles about pressing techniques that I got from a Google search, which also directed me to another web site which in turn mentioned pressinghair.com as being the best site for information. I've been curious about it ever since.

Pressinghair.com and yourhealthyhair.com (home relaxing directions) are both dead.
Have you been to this pressing site yet?

Yes, I checked it out around the same time I heard about pressinghair.com. Thanks for responding, though.

Pressing
1) Let the comb get hot in the stove.....take it out. If the comb burns the paper towel, then it is too hot. Use your hair towel to cool it down a little or blow on it. You can test the hotness of the comb by licking your finger, and letting the spit sizzle (old trick). The you will get a feel for how hot the comb is.
2) Just start in the back of your head with small pieces of hair. Section off a row of hair, and press hair row by row. Use large hair clip or scrunchy to hold hair up.
3)Everybody's hair is different. The type of oil you use is important. I like Botanic Oil by Nexxus, or extra light olive oil used sparingly...thats good for soft or coarse hair. Other products commonly used are pressing creme, curling wax, dax, grease, hair lotion. Always start off by using very small amounts. Remember you can always add more, but you cannot go back if you use too much. Oil takes away volume. Use more oil for a slick/greasy look and less for more light bouncy hair.
4)Start at the roots. Sink the comb into the hair right at the scalp. Twist your wrist so that the heat and pressure come from the back of the comb. USE THE BACK OF THE COMB, not the teeth. I like to just grab the section of hair taut with my left fingers, and press with my right hand (I'm right-handed). Rolling my wrist, so the back of the comb glides down the length of my hair. While you're pressing, agitate your hand in a Parkinson's like manner. The result is smooth, silkened hair..
5) Do piece by piece. Try different heat levels. Remember, everyone's hair is different. Your hair may require a "hard" press, while your girl may only need a "medium" or "soft" pressing. The key to smooth and perfect press is a combination of the right heat, good technique, having healthy hair, and good pressing oil (or creme, lotion, etc.).
***If the hair does not have a bone straight look, then either the comb is not hot enough, or the heat is not being applied right. The stroke of the comb must be deliberate, pressing the back of the comb down the hair (they don't call it "pressing" for nuthin). A good press has the look of a fresh perm.
6) The easiest way to do the edges is to grab the baby hair and use only the back of the comb. Making sure to start the back of the comb just over your skin, and you must do the motion quickly (do not be nervous about getting burned, because this will all become second nature to you).
7) Once you have finished, go over some pieces if you need to. Adding more moisturizer if you need to, do not be shy.
8) Using a round curler or curling iron, bump ends under, or flip them for a finished look. Wrap hair at night using a silk scarf. Perfect Presses.....
Important Tips to Remember....
1) Your hair must be completely free of perm.
Grow it out, cut if off. But do NOT press your hair when you have a perm, it will cause breakage.
2) Deep condition your hair after every press, so it doesn't dry out and break off from all the heat.
3) Do NOT press your hair more than once a week, every two weeks is best. Over-pressing will damage your hair quickly. You can tell if your hair has been damaged this way: If your hair looks flat when it is wet, and it does not revert back to its natural curl, then it is damaged.
