Straight Hair Naturals: How often do y’all straighten/press your hair?

After an amazing experience at the salon and seeing how manageable my hair can be when straight, I’m considering exploring the world of being a straight natural.

I’ve seen some argue that just means being okay with heat damage but I do want to avoid damage as much as possible if I try it.

That said, for those of you that wear your hair straight, how often do you straighten it? Any recommendations for keeping a press longer and reviving curls in between?
