I'm surprised we don't have a larger sub-community of "press-n-curl" naturals on here. I've been a member since 2009 and I can count of one, maybe two hands, the number of ladies I've encountered around here who are heat-straightened naturals. I wonder why? It seemed that Black women had beautiful healthy hair back when they were doing regular press-n-curls.
I'm looking for inspiration! I usually prefer my hair texlaxed but I only permed twice a year (sometimes 3) and I was always in protective styles. So it seems like a waste to be chemically straightened only to braid it up under a wig/crochet style. I have no desire to be a loose natural but I'd like to find a way to rock my hair out every now and then without a whole wash day and two days of drying/setting the style (that will end up poofing up the minute I step outside). I'm thinking of doing a monthly blowout and rocking low mani PSs for a week and then cornrowing and wigging for 3-4 weeks until my next blowout. At least that way, I'd get to enjoy my hair more often.
