I dont mind either as long as they look great coz some gurls dont know how to wear weaves. My hairs natural at the moment but Im thinking about perming it, my hairs in single extensions right now.
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Listen @ Kamkam
u aint changin ur genetic makeup just by adding chemicals to your hair just because the creator didn't make u like that. The creator didn't make you with clothes or shoes or hairbands or lotion but you use these stuff to maintain yourself like some people use chemicals to maintain their hair. I personally find it easier to have permed hair and I also wear a weave (most people dont even no it aint real coz it looks good u get me!) ne wayz dats besides the point what im trying to say is that different people use different things to maintain themselves. For example a white person don't need to perm their hair but they have to put the chemicals SHAMPOO into their hair like everyday whilst black people tend to wash their hair like evry 2 weeks...Has they day: 'DIFFERENT STROKES 4 DIFFERENT FOLKES'..........NUFF LUV BLESS

I WEAR MY HAIR NATURAL AND I LOVE IT. PERMS AND CHEMICALS HAVE DONE SO MUCH DAMAGE TO MY HAIR I DIDN'T EVEN NEED TO CUT OFF MY STRAIGHT ENDS BECAUSE THEY BROKE OFF BY THEMSELVES (I CAN LAUGH AT IT NOW BUT BACK THEM.........). I STRUGGLED TOO MUCH AND WORKED TOO HARD JUST FOR SOME STRAIGHT HAIR BECAUSE THAT WAS ALL THAT I KNEW AND I NEVER REMEMBER HAVING MY HAIR NATURAL. MOST IF NOT ALL OF MY BLACK PEERS WORE THEIR HAIR STRAIGHT(AND THEY ARE PROBABLY SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES TODAY BECAUSE WE WERE YOUNG). THOSE WHO WORE THEIR HAIR NATURAL (VERY, VERY FEW) WERE OFTEN RIDICULED. NOW I REALLY DON'T CARE BECAUSE I HAVE NICE NATURAL HAIR, IT ISN'T NAPPY LIKE MOST PEOPLE WOULD ASSUME NATURAL BLACK HAIR TO BE. TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE WALKING AROUND WITH DAMAGED, UNKEMPT HAIR BECAUSE OF YEARS OR OVERHEATING AND CHEMICALS. I SAY, WORK WITH WHAT YOU GOT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF IF YOU DON'T LOVE YOURSELF.

i fort it was only my hair dat shrinks evrytime i wash it lol
every1 has different hair lyk my hair, if i dont perm itregularly every 4 months, i wont be able to comb it or weave it cos i leave it down and naturala lot but evry time i do it goes springy and hard to comb so i put extensions in it so i dont need to comb my hair for sum months (like takin a break).no matter how much iperm itat the endit just goes bac toits stubborn, springy state but permin it is the only way i get to comb and stlye it natural. a couple of my friends hair are lyk dat so its not just me lol.

Boi if you perm your hair....u really gotta know how to take care of it. When I got my hair done for prom, my hair was bonded, and I was told I could wash off the weave/glue with just water. I did this like a fool, an it took off some of my hair. Then I tried using hair mayonnaise and all sorts, but my hair's not growin for no one boy. It used to reach on my back, but now....hmm, the front and the middle's only slightly shorter, but the back....when I had natural hair, my hair hardly ever broke off, and I permed it cause I wanted to just be able to put my hair in one an go, not having to plait it up every sunday, cause if I left my hair out...it would shrink..and it just..err. I had extensions for 5 years (different hair throughout on an off lolol obviously) an my hair greeeeewww , (this was before I got my hair permed) so I would recommend just wearing single extensions for anyone trying to grow their hair back. Not saying you have to wear it for 5 years lolol, but however long it takes to get your hair back on track, cause it works. And also, if you have permed hair, u should steam it every two weeks (I keep forgetting to lolol) but my mum does and her hair's already long, so it's growin even more now lol
