		<description>@ Ana  Allison didn&#039;t ask a dumb question. The article said &quot; a curse and have made the decision to permanently change the texture of their hair with the use of chemicals. I said permanently because once you add chemical relaxers or perms to your hair it is changed forever. There is no way to get back the natural wave pattern, even if you let the perm grow out. This is why the ‘older generations’ of African American women frown upon relaxing children’s hair. They say it will stunt their hair growth and ruin their hair forever. Well, the same it true for adult hair.&quot; So I would like to know how it damages the ungrown hair also....</description>

		<description>When God says a word, it will surely come to pass. He said, instead of well set hair, it will be burnt. He can never lie.
So, please, stay natural and stop modifying yourself artificially.
I love your site. keep informing them for the benefit of their health. Thanks.</description>

		<description>my older sister kept putting oil in her hair and it got alot softer but it was permed hair...but you should try to keep your hair moisturized and use oils, leave in conditioners, and hair treatments to calm it down a little.

hope this helps</description>

		<description>You&#039;re a baby. Let us know how that goes in another 20 years or more. I can&#039;t believe the denial in these comments. Everything created for our hair historically has been to destroy it. Defending the chemical destruction of our hair?

It has nothing to do with any of the excuses we give or examples of women and men who have SURVIVED chemical alteration of their hair. Survive is not thrive. Would you use these chemical as a facial creme? No because it would damage your skin. So what do you believe is happening inside your head and on your scalp. 

The scientists hired by these companies that create these products and back the schools where they learn to apply them are paid big money to find ways to delay the inevitable damage to our hair, skin and BRAINS. Hence the huge profits of these companies that also sell products that must be used to manage chemically altered hair to delay the eventual effects. 

Women of other races suffer this damage just as we do. But for us, we are products of slave mentalities. When will we finally face that we have been taught to mirror white women instead of how God made us which is beautiful. He created us before he created whites. The first man and woman looked like us not them. The people who dominated ancient history look like us not them. 

We love saying we are African but don&#039;t want to look like we come from Africa. What is that about? Brainwash so the European world can continue to get rich off of us. If that ticks you off to know that,if you can continue to defend what these companies (Black, White and Asian)do to our hair with our permission,  doesn&#039;t it prove the point of how brainwashed we are?</description>

		<description>I love that I have stopped using relaxers, it will be a year in May. The only problematic differece I see when I stopped is that my hair tangles and knots really bad when I wash. I use chemical free or close to chemical free shampoos and conditioners but none have been sucessful in elimanting the knots, one product helps but I spray it on after the condtionin process it because it is expensive I don&#039;t want to spray it on and then wash it off it&#039;s $20.00 for a I think 6oz bottle, nut if I find that I cannot find a conditioner I will have to use this product.</description>
