QuoteReplyTopic: My hair Posted: October 27 2001 at 11:25am
Hi, I`m not african american, but I have wavy/curly/poofy hair. I was thinking of getting my hair relaxed or permed so it can be straight. I don`t know the difference between relaxing and perming hair. I want to use the one that it the gentlest because my hair isn`t nappy or really curly. I just want it to be straighter than it is now. If I perm or relax my hair, will it change the texture of it? My hair is very soft and bouncy, and will I lose that if I relax or perm my hair? I want a permanent solution to get straight hair, so does the perm or relax wash out when I wash my hair? Thanks very much.
Since your hair is wavy/curly all you really need is a mild perm. Perms are permanent you just have to get a touch up for your new growth. I suggest you see a hair specialist that way they can give you advice on what brand is right for your hair type. If your hair is soft and bouncy, why would you wanna perm it ? A perm will make it straight but it will also be limp since your hair is soft. Why not alternate from curly to straight like singer Mya. I think she just blow dries it straight. ~~~~Vy
A relaxer is when you use chemicals to straighten the hair...
A perm is when you use chemicals to make straight hair curly...
Since your hair is already soft, I suggest the most gentlest way to get straight hair, would be to blow dry using a comb or brush attachment...
Frankly, it would be a big mistake for you to use a relaxer... Using relaxer on the type of hair you described will only make it limp and it probably would not hold a curl...
