Fearfully Wonderfully Made
I wish I had never got my mom to press my natural hair with a stove hot comb to see how long my hair was. I've been making a lot of stupid mistakes lately.
I just washed my hair after my mom pressed it 3 days ago. When I washed it, my hair smelled burnt. It did not revert back to its curly state. It stayed bone straight! My hair still smells awful; my bathroom and bedroom smells burnt too! I washed it twice today in hopes of it curling back up but no change.
My hair still smells burnt and when I rub my hands through my hair, I have broken little pieces on my hands. I'm so scared that I'm going to have to just cut it all off and start all over. I'm really depressed that this happened to me. I don't know what else to do but cut if all off.
Has this happened to anyone else that has pressed their hair? Did u ever have a burnt smell after washing it or have it stay straight? If so, how long did it take your hair to recover? Or did you just cut off the damaged hair?
I really don't wanna walk around bald but I think that's my only option.
Btw, I've learned my lesson finally... I'M NEVER USING HEAT EVER AGAIN!!!
