Thanks for the welcome all!

Yeah, I remember when I used to have to take out my mom's braids after about two months of her wearing them. Let's just say that it was quite a scentful occasion. As of right now I'm challenging myself to wear my hair up for a month. I'm going to wear it up in a bun everyday and wash/comb/deep condition once a week. It's my method of protective styling. I might even do it for longer. I think it's a good way to reduce breakage (plus conserve on conditioner

)

Beautieami maybe the perm didn't take because coarse hair requires more than 18 minutes to straighten [the relaxer claims coarse hair straightens in 18 minutes, coarse hair straightens in 25 minutes] and coarse hair requires more than 7.5 oz relaxer,my hairdresser uses a bigger jar.
