I get my hair pressed like once a month, but after a week it looks like crap!! I have to wear it in a ponytail everyday! What do you[ppl with hair like me] do everyday for school? I cant get it pressed too much. kinda expensive.

btw i mean african american hair. lmao. not just the color.

pressed? and how come it matters what color hair u have?

all i do is wash it, wear it down for like a day, wear it up and then wash it... i guess

i only wear my hair up when i need to like when i'm having a bad hair day other than that no

when im wearing my natural hair i either wrap it at night even with pressing it helps it last a little longer than usual especially if you use pink lotion every once and awhile. but other times i wear micro braids because there isnt much maintanance

I always leave my hair down either straight or curly . if my hair is screwed up badly , i would tie my hair up or half up and half down. =) wat do u mean by pressed ??

i wear my hair up in a ponytail or half a pony tail, or just straight down when im having a good hair day...which is very rare y does it matter what color hair you have??

oh now i get it, u mean the black hair "type" right? well don't use too many things that will damage your hair. meaning like using a blow dryer all the time...etc. get a good straightner, and when my hair gets frizzy sometimes i have a herbal essence leave in conditioner spray and some other kinds. i can't think of anything else right now

she didnt mean the color, she meant the type. you know, black.

just try getting your own really good straightening iron and just take care of it everyday. use things for hair that arent damaging but good for it and whatnot.

I think she means the "black" kind of hair. like black as in race, not color.

I have aweful hair too....although I am not black so I dont' ahve the tight curls you have to deal with, I have very frizzy and pouffy hair.

I don't care so much aobut it anymore, I don't even bother straightening it, I jsut stick it up in a high ponytail/bun or put it in braids.

I say don't worry about it, unless you are going to preform or audition or soemthing no one cares what your hair looks like, they're too busy worrying aobut their own

"Pressed" refers to when a hot metal (or ceramic) comb is run through the hair in order to straighten it. I like to think of it as a medieval torture device I got my hair pressed today and my hair hold in heat....God, that was not fun.

But back to the topic at hand: you only get yours pressed once a month?! I press mine once a week (I bought a hot comb from the beauty supply)!

But yeah, if you can't keep a press, you might want to invest in a perm. Ask your hair dresser which one would be good for your hair. Or you could be like me and buy your own comb. It helps to keep it looking somewhat decent until you can get back to the hair salon.

GET A NEW WEAVE!
Heh...just kidding. Anyways...uhh you could just curl it or half up/half down.

i had micros the entire school year. i just keep getting them done over again. now i'm back to getting relaxers. i just keep my hair wrapped and try not to put heat on my hair. i need a relaxer now!! new growth is a bitch!

yeah my hairs like dark brown but close enough

damn why won't it allow me to attach a pic?

permantly straighten it, thats whay i did. now my hair is straight. YAY! it goes coz a couple of $$ tho..

my haird cant permanently straighten. eh. theres no hope.

Black hair rocks! If you know what do with it, that it is. Look, just press it , like, once every few weeks cuz its really harmful for your hair to press it all the time. And if you permantly straighten it, well, then you'll always have to wear it straight. BORING! (or atleast it would be for me, I <3 change)
Buy orange sunsilk cream and whenever you wash your hair put some of it and run your hands threw your hair really fast like you're trying to curl it. Voila! you now have natural curls.
I wouldn't recommend straightening yor hair more than one every 3 weeks or something. It really dries the hair.

Ashley Simpson's hair isn't really black. THat's dark brown too. I have really light brown hair due to swimming so I dyed it blue black but under the sun it's kinda brownish. I'm totally off topic. Sorry.

i suggest buying a straightener and doing it yourself.

you should go to a hair salon because if you do it yourself you might damage your hair or just get a weave =D o0o0o you can look like beyonce

I think it's hilarious how people are still posting in here about their hair color.

yea i was just thinking that...

if you think you need
a change and don't know
what to do, why dont you
do it in layers? its cute on
dakrer hair colors most

I always have my hair up......coz my hair......its crappy...so when I leave it down, it looks so damn horrible!!! >.< I've got thin, wavy hair.......I would'nt mind leaving it down IF my hair wasn't as bad and it would stay straight and not go all funny when I straightened it and blowdried it!! Aggrr!!

The only period of time I leave my hair out is like after I've gotten it cut and it doesn't look that stuffed up yet until like 1-2 weeks later, I can't seem to maintain its shape........and it goes frizzy, and looks like a boof!!!

get dredlocks

i just leave it down...i get it straightend at a parlor lyk about every 6 months since it stays for me ...maybe shorter or longer time 4 otha ppl... my hair's natural brown...and i dyed it a few times...including blue!!
