What would happen to African-American if they stopped making perms?

I just wonder since on my thirteenth birthday I made a vow I would never use another perm again.What would we do if they no longer manufactured perms? We could use hot combs ,that's what I do when I want straight hair. But it maybe a possitive side to this.Just think how intimidated racist people would be if they saw a bunch of African-Americans walking around with afros.Black power!

What would happen to African-American if they stopped making perms?

.

It should be remembered that -- as a result of their

largely racially-admixed lineage -- not every person

-- who is a member of the largely Multi-racial Ethnic

group which has been labled by the U.S. government

as 'African-American' (AA) -- has "afro"-textured hair

nor do all of them need to wear perms / relaxers; weaves;

etc. in their hair in order to have the hair styles they desire.

Thus -- even if perms/relaxers; weaves; etc.

were to cease being made -- there are a

huge number of African-Americans (AAs)

for whom this would have little, if any impact.

For more information on the AA Ethnic

group , the link below may be of help.

Nothing. There is always the weave.

Then more African-Americans would get braids %26amp; plaits.

I'm only half African-American %26amp; I have this long, frizzy curly hair that looks like a big afro when I wake up %26amp; for the most part, I'd like to rock the puffy, frizzy, crazy afro puff hair but simply because I live in Florida where it's hot all year round, I don't.

But if you're simply trying to make a statement for Black Power, there really is no need. Today's society is a lot more open. Women don't get perms because they want to look like white women, they get it because they like the look %26amp; style. Seriously, have you also stopped watching TV, or been to the mall? I have a lot of friends who aren't black %26amp; get their hair braided or just a bunch of friends with silky hair who wish they COULD get their hair braided.

I dunno. I think it would look cool because African American woman look so hot with their natural hair, and the guys look cool with afro's. They suit it!

thats lame - useing a hot comb to get the same effect as a straight perm - you would still rock straight hair - and the difference in how your hair got straight would prove what point ?

if white people stopped useing perms would that be white power? how about people worry about changing things in their communities instead of a hair style when it comes to elevating their people - dont get me wrong i love the afro on a chick with hair braided or twisted half way back - but thats because i love the look not because its stressing a point -
