Having "Black" Hair, i hate it! what to do? Options

[Joss-eh-lime]

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.

"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.
