Some of you ladies have probably already seen this ad before, but for those of you who haven't, check it out. (Sorry it's so long). I couldn't put all the info in this thread due to the amount of space. Therefore, I stopped some of the verbage with, You Can Read The Rest On The Site. It is on www.growyourownhair.com. LOL

Hello Long Hair Lovers, It has been eight years since I exorcised my hair demons. I no longer struggle with my hair, I don't fear the elements and I finally have the hair I have always wanted. What did I want? I wanted hair that didn't hurt to comb. I wanted hair that looked the same no matter what the weather forecast. I wanted hair that was versatile. I wanted hair I could style myself. I wanted hair that would grow long.
MY HAIRSTORY
I have always had thick, hard to manage hair. I did not have long hair. My hair was very tightly coiled N4 hair. (nap-o-meter) When I was a child I cried whenever my mother combed my hair. I was very tender headed. Getting my hair done was always a traumatic experience. Thank God my mother was a hairdresser because she had to take little sections and hold on to the hair near my scalp and gently pull the wide tooth comb through my hair or my screams would make the neighbors think she was torturing me. It took what seemed like hours. My mother put my hair in these short, fat braids. I never had the kind of braids that were long and bounced when you skipped along. (YOU CAN READ THE REST ON THE SITE).
THE HOT COMB I don't remember the first time I had my hair pressed. I just remember it was in the kitchen and it was horrific. First my hair was combed then my hair was parted and the blue Ultra Sheen hair grease was applied to my scalp while a heavy metal pressing comb was heated on the stove. When smoke started to come off the comb it was rubbed on a cloth leaving burn marks then pulled through a thin section of hair flattening out the kink and leaving my hair straight. If you moved you got burned. In order to get my hair pressed along the hairline I had to hold my breath. Many times I got a burn on my ear, neck or forehead. And the kitchen smelled like burning hair and skin. That was child abuse! And the worse part is that it was only temporary and any exposure to moisture would reverse the whole process!
After sitting through the torture of having my hair pressed I couldn't play or I might sweat it out. I didn't dare go outside on a rainy day without wearing an old lady plastic hair covering. If it started to drizzle I had to run home. If it was misty I had to tuck all my hair under a hat. To take a bath I had to wear two hair bonnets. Basically, if my hair reverted to its natural state there was hell to pay! (YOU CAN READ THE REST ON THE SITE).
THE BIG LYE
Well, a miracle happened. Johnson Products, the people that had brought us the blue hair grease, made a permanent hair straightener. They put it under the Ultra Sheen brand and called it a "hair relaxer." My mother was one of the first hairdressers to take an advanced course in hair relaxing. I was her model.
