HAIR Care: Old school versus New school..share your stories!

[Freespirit02]

Ladies..most of us can agree that we take care of our hair differently than our mothers/auties/grandmothers. Some of can even say our ideas about hair are also different.
For almost a year I have been doing my mom's hair,doing her relaxers and wash and sets..well anyway, this is our latest hair convo.

Mom: Rosebud ( my notorious nickname) I need you to relax my hair.
Me: Okay..you must have newgrowth.
Mom: Not really, my hair has turned back
Me: whatcha mean "turned back"..you can't "turn back chemically altered hair"
Mom: well it sure is nappy...
Me: okay..it must be newgrowth.

As I'm relaxing her hair I realized she put a hella lot of spritz in her hair..so
I wanted to put more conditioner in her hair..because it was dry.Also I needed to take the tangles out with my fingers


Me: I'm going to put more conditioner..because your hair is dry..and you have a lot of tangles
Mom: where is the scissorserplexed
Me: whatcha mean..where's the scissors?
Mom: just cut the tangles out!!
Me: (thinking she thought I said split ends I repeated the word TANGLES)
Mom: yeahhhhhh tangles
Me: sure..give me the scissors..I guess I will just cut All your hair off..to get out the tangles!
