get a Yuko or Liscio chemical straightening. They are the most effective in getting your hair as straight as possible. I have it and although my hair is thick is is perfectly straight now :)I Have african american hair and want to perm straighten it. Do I ask for a perm or a relaxer?
As far as I know, a perm is a relaxer. Why mess with nature? Some women would die for majorly curly hair and a great cut can really make it look great.

Go to a good hair dresser. She/he will know which you need to solve the problem.
when you get it done professionally they will know by the texture of your hair and strength of your hair which perm to use if this is your first time do not do it yourself please get it done professionally
in most salons, if you ask for a ';perm'; they will think you want a curl permanent.





if you want bone-straight hair, then ask for a ';relaxer';. make sure it doesn't have lye in it and definitely make sure that wherever you go that the stylist is professionally trained to work with and style ';african-american'; hair. it will save you a lot of issues and drama if you make sure of this before you sit in their chair.
Relaxer definatly! Perms Dont last much and it will be a waste of money
What white people call a perm is where it makes their hair curly.





If you're black then you are getting a relaxer but we call it a perm also. They're interchangeable. If you go to a black hairstylist she will know what you mean if you say a perm %26amp; you will get your hair relaxed. Perm=relaxer in black culture
depends. black salon-perm white salon-relaxer


for whites a perm means to curl blacks understand it as a straightner
relaxer
Hello, I have really curly hair to and couldn't deal with it my whole childhood and either could my mother..lol...she used to cut it really short so i looked like a boy...anyways i just recently got it straightened with this new straightening system at the salon...it's a europeon product takes about 5 hrs and costs around 500 dollars...so worth the money....Humidity hat not my hair is poker straight....easy to blow dry its wonderful!!!! good luck
Here is what I would do. Go to a beauty school find some one who is at the top of HIS class and get a consolation.
Get African Pride Super Relaxer. Its sells foe $8.00 at most stores.
What African and what american did you steal your hair from?
You should get the Japanese Straightener you can take a shower and go. It is kinda pricey!
