I was in the elevator at work this morning. There were two black women who appeared to be in their late 40s or early 50s in the elevator as well. One said to the other that she had nice hair, how did she get it so straight. The woman in question has deep black hair with a nice sheen that was indeed really, really straight. She said she has a "decent grade" of hair and is a "press & curl girl" but knows nothing about handling her own hair and trusts her stylist completely.
She asked the woman if she had a perm. The woman said no. Now this woman obviously had a perm. Her hair was slightly longer than shoulder-length and the ends looked a little dry and frayed and she had new growth!
I thought to myself, "Why lie when it is obvious you have a perm? If you are not born with straight hair, want straight hair and obviously undergo the chemical processes to have straight hair, why lie?"
Help me out.
