*Whit clinched fist in the air* Right On Sista!!! Right On!!
2.) Some women go a month or two without perming and try and judge their "natural" hair by what's sitting at the roots. They think that it was they will be working with should they stop perming. It's not that easy people! Your hair texture WILL CHANGE over time.

This is so true!!! When you perm your hair, the relaxer does not just get applied to the hair, it gets on the scalp. And as others have mentioned, it obviously is absorbed by the scalp and your hair folicles. this means thst the hair that was in the process of growing inside your scalp at the time of your perm will be affected by the chemicals as well. Therefore, when it starts to grow out, it is hard and brittle and dry. This is not the natural texture of your hair.
