I have been asked this question a few times in the past, but I was recently asked this again. Well, my answer to them was No; I don’t ever plan on getting a perm again. Getting a perm is not even on my mind. I have been completely natural for 3 ½ years, and I love the way my hair does its own thing. I love learning to care for my natural hair properly. It has been a journey I will never forget, and a journey that will continue. If I feel as though I want to wear my hair straight, then I will prep it and flat iron it. That’s the beauty of being natural. Our hair is very versatile in its natural state.
It is very important that you are happy with YOU. If you are happy having a perm, then rock your perm/relaxer with pride and self confidence! If you are happy with being natural, then rock your natural with pride and self confidence! Do what’s best for you, and be happy and confident with your decision.
Have you ever been asked this question? What was your response?
Until Next Time,

I don't recall ever bein asked that and when the time comes and I'm asked that he/she will definitely hear a politely no from my mouth but at the same time that I politely say No to him/her ...... deep down inside it would be a HUGE NO from my very core being.
ReplyDeleteI too looove taking care and styling my hair in it's natural state and am definitely proud of rocking a style that is uniquely right for me :)
I'm very proud of it and have built my self confidence up a notch now that I don't hide behind my permed hair.
I posted something similar to this not too long ago. I believe I'll always be natural but I can't say I'll always be a dread.
