I wouldn't get a perm. Because i've had a perm and i had long hair. It is still long but i had to regrow it. I wouldn't get a perm because if you change your mind and let the perm grow out it will break your hair off. If you want your hair to stay healthy and nice i wouldn't get a perm.

If it means that much to you, then why risk it?

You should go with what God gave you.

i think you should just get it straightened with a regular hot comb or a ceramics Hot Tool flat iron...don't do the perm...this is best...i gotta friend who is Indian and black and her hair is woooo...!!!! too curly so she just gets it straightened with either of these items...

Yes and ^^, black girl perms make your hair straight not curly. You should. Its give you a chance to show of that long curly hair. Its probably soften your curls more so it can stay straight. It should work fine. Just make sure you keep your hair healthy =).

My hair isn't what one would call coarse, either. When my hair was natural it was soft and manageable. I chose to get a relaxer when I was younger in order to pull off different styles and have longer-looking hair. Each person's hair is different. I've never had a bad experience or lost thickness with a relaxer, but I've heard horror stories from other people. If you want your hair to be straighter my advice is to first get a texturizer or something. It may be a shock to get your hair bone-straight all in one day. The only thing is that you must give this careful consideration because once you relax or texturize your hair, you can't go back to your natural texture unless you cut your hair. And personally, I think If you've already got long, nice hair, leave it as it is.

i think perms are ok to use every once in awhile....I have a friend who is black w/curly curly hair and she uses a relaxer and after awhile her hair returns to the original state so you really don't lose your texture.....I would suggest a mild perm.....You also have the option to get your hair flat ironed,go to a salon pref black salon who deals w/ black hair....im pretty sure they have dealt w/ your type of hair before...they will straighten your hair and give you a more finish look....

Be scared because I GUARANTEE you that your hair WILL break off, and fall out. -

10 years of personal experience in this area. Salons will encourage you to do it, money in their pocket, and cost range from between $50-$150, depending on what city you are in and how long your hair is.

The misconception about relaxers is that they completely straighten the hair, not true. Think of a telephone cord, you pull it, is it really that much straighter? Some, but not what you'd expect.

It is the same way with a perm/relaxer. You will STILL need to flat iron your hair, or hot comb/press it to get it straight.

They are a catch-22, and once you get them, if you don't keep getting them regularly, your hair will begin to fall out, and break off.

Read my story online...I had to start ALL over from 10 years of perms, down to 1 1/2 inches, to get rid of all the damage.

---You know you hair is gorgeous. Don't mess it up because of perm hype. Start asking people with perms what happens when they don't get a relaxer, if their hair is weak or strong, how much they cost, and if they think you need one.

no. no. no.
