I put a perm in my hair. Only in the crown. I haven't had one since March. I had decided to get a sewn in weave. After a while this became not so cute the constant straightening of my to keep up with the texture of the weave was becoming a pain. After a good rain fall or a good workout it was all down hill. The sad thing about this is now that my hair is straight my weave is nappy. WTH? Time to get it done over. I wished there was some way I could have held out.
