Aiight check this out. I went to a different hair salon then my usual 1 b/c they had a lower price. There were several things that seemed shaky. I asked the stylist to trim my ends(I get this done every 4 wks). She suggested that i SHOULD WAit until I get a touch up. I told her that I wont be getting 1 for a long time since Im giving my hair a break from all the chemicals. Then she said " well if u dont get a perm, your hair will fall out"
Now this is B.S. because I`ve gone without a perm for 7 mths now and I `ve noticed nothing unusual: no breakage, hair clumps, damage etc....
So today, my friend`s mother went to the same salon. She talked with the hair stylist and she supposedly remarked that my hair WILL fall out if I dont get a perm and that my scalp is deteriorating(I have a seasonal dandruff problem) because I use olive oil instead of hair grease and that I need a treatment or something.....
Like I said...people go a long time without relaxers. I`ve never witnessed any breakage in my hair. i take good care of it. I dont use hair greas because it clogs and it makes my hair heavy and weighs it down. I dont get relaxers too often because the chemicals are damagng...plus my hair grows faster the longer I wait in between touchups.
Is it possible that my hair will break off, fall out, etc????????

If you continue to wash anc condition your hair; you will not have a problem.
Some beauticians tell you that nonsense because they want the money. It costs more to get your hair relaxed than washed and set.
I have a friend who has not had a relaxer for 2 years now. She lets her beautician wash and set her hair, including a deep condition and her hair is just fine. she also uses olive oil.
Everyone`s hair is different and only you know your hair. I know I can`t go too, long without a relaxer because my hair will definitely fall out.
Good Luck!!
P.S. Many people have seasonal dandruff and it goes away. You can try using head and shoulders and Top Brass.
