Okay let me preface this post that I am NOT the one doing this and am NOT looking to relax my hair!
Okay moving along, earlier today I was doing a friend of another friend's hair. Anywho, she specifically asked me to cornrow her hair into at least 10 or more braids going straight back. No problem there right?
Well after I'm done, she pays me for doing them and says "Now I can go get my hair permed!" Ummmm, what??????
erplexed
Here's how the convo went down:
Me: Wait a min, if you're going to get a relaxer put into your hair then why'd you get your hair braided then?
Her: Because I can't perm my hair when it's all out and about.
Me: (looking
erplexed at this point) I'm not understanding the concept, explain this one to me please.
Her: Girl please, I been doing my hair like this for years now.
Me: But how are you getting a relaxer while you're wearing braids though????
Her: Well I get it braided up since I can't part for nothing, and I just slap the perm on the outside of the braid on my nappy roots, then I wash it out. Much quicker this way!! So thanks for doing my hair girl, see ya soon!!
Me: Ummmm, okayyyyy later! I'm STILL looking
erplexed
Now I've done a search and I see nothing on this subject at all. I see threads about relaxers before braids or vice versa, but nothing about getting relaxers while wearing braids! Am I late to the game or does anyone here actually do this??
