uu know this whole thing about blacks trying to be more acceptable by imitating whites makes no sense . white people don't have naturally straight hair . the ones that do get the japanese perms or whatever uu call it . one of my white friends has it . it makes ur hair bone straight . the only race that has baturally straight hair is asians .

permed hair is easier to maintain and uu can do a lot of different things w. it . whereas natural hair can only be braided , twisted , && things of that sort . I'd say it can be pressed buh thats also altering the hair's natural state as was said -_- .

ii* have naturally thick nappy woolly hair . perming it makes it easier for me to maintain . when ii was little before ii got perms , hairdressers would do my braids once and refuse the next time becus my hair was so thick and they'd break several combs trying to do my hair ; or I'd be crying the entiring time they were tugging at my scalp . ii* find perming easier . no combs break and no hairdressers turn me away lol .
