Peace and Blessings Family,
I'm under the impression that most are like me, getting their first perm at an early age, but i might be wrong.
I've phrased the question in a way so that Brothers can respond too, telling us the age they first noticed a Black Woman ... their Mother, Sister, Aunt, etc. ... with permed / pressed hair.
I think we are guilty of inflicting self hate upon our children, boys and girls, by allowing this to continue.
Teaching them at young ages, to think what God gave them (or their Mommas, Sisters, etc.) is ugly.
I've mentioned this a time or two in previous posts, but i have no real data to back up my opinion.
So let's tally some up ... shall we ?
FOR THE SISTERS :
What age did you get your first perm / press?
FOR THE BROTHERS :
What age did you first notice a Sister with permed / pressed hair?
Please vote in the poll above, and leave comments below if you'd like.
Thanks Yall!
