I'm african-american and I have naturally curly hair--probably cross
between a 3c and 4a. I have long hair...when straightened it reaches
to my shoulder blades but currently my hair is relaxed with about six
inches of new growth. Right now I am seriously considering a curly
perm because I would like to have spiral curls like this: or this:  The problem is, since my hair is partially relaxed and partially natural, I'm not too sure how it will react. I am hoping that it won't end in a devastating mess of frizz and breakage. I am PRAYING that it won't end in me having to cut off 16 years worth of hair growth. Also, I would like some insight on what type of treatment to get--if it is recommended at all. Can I get some testimonials from other african-americans who have gotten curly perms and how it turned out for ya'll? Thanks, Andi. |
