Can straightening your hair before getting a relaxer damage your hair?
By straightening your hair, do you mean with a flat iron? If so, there will be some damage, but as long as you use a good heat protectant and don’t go over each section of hair a bunch of times (one to two passes should be all it takes), then you should be fine.The relaxer is what is going to damage your hair. It can absolutely be worth it if you know that you want straight hair, or if your hair is exceptionally unruly, but it absolutely damages your hair. Never believe anyone that tells you that relaxers don’t damage your hair. Anything that chemically alters the curl pattern of your hair is damaging your hair. You have to decide if the damage is worth it to you. If you have great, healthy hair right now, the damage shouldn’t be too severe (as long as you get it done by a reliable professional), but if you have previously damaged hair, either from severe heat damage or from hair coloring, you might have to cut a few inches of hair off once the relaxer is done. It all depends on your hair.Just make sure to go to a reliable professional with experience in chemical relaxers to get it done, and always tell them everything you have done to your hair. Even if you did something a year or two ago, if you haven’t cut that hair off it’s still affecting your hair. If you don’t tell your stylist about something, or if you lie about doing something, your hair could literally melt off of your head. Always be truthful, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Can curly hair be straightened with perms?
My hair is also very curly, and growing up, I hated it. I never knew how to properly take care of it back when I was in school, it was so frizzy and dry. Kids used to tease me for it, they called me a caveman and told me my hair looked like straw. I remember that I would constantly daydream that my life would be better with straight hair.Any method there is to straighten hair, I've tried. In high school, I bought a box of at-home hair relaxer. My mom has curls as well, and had always warned me not to mess with my hair, but I locked myself in the bathroom and did it anyway, and left with a crisscross of half-straight-half-curly hair that took years to grow out.When I was 20, I walked into a high end hair salon and asked them to relax my hair. They outright refused, saying it'd cost me $1000 and they'd have to cut off half of my hair since it was such a harsh process. Instead, they offered the $400 Keratin treatment, which gave OK results but only lasted 5 months.I only learned to be happy with my hair in my 20’s, when I found the curly hair subreddit and thus the curly girl method. After finding the products that really work for my hair, it feels silky soft and I now can't see myself without my curls. They truly feel like part of my identity, and to permanently change them would be permanently changing myself.You can relax it, you can do the keratin treatment like I did, you can even straighten your hair every day with a flat iron, but you will always be throwing money at salons and home kits to keep it straight, and it does nothing but damage your hair and make it look worse.For better or for worse, your curls will always be with you. If I have any suggestions at all, it would be to seek professional help from someone trained in curly hair. They can look at your specific hair type and help you find a result you are happy with, whether it means a more flattering cut for your curls or relaxing it entirely to get the straight hair you want.Just please do not do anything without seeing a stylist first.

Sleeping on your newly relaxed hair?
Hi, I use to be relaxed for 7 years but now i'm natural.Hair grows everyday but I think the two kinks you see is hair that wasn't relaxed properly. The last time I relaxed my hair which was over 3 years ago.I got my hair press the same day and it was the hairdresser who press my hair.Few weeks later I did have few hair strands of hair come out but that was probably due to the blow dryer as well. You can do a roller set to smooth them out.They can't go away by washing your hair.You can put your hair in a loose band when you sleep.I think it is ok to press your hair.
What is the kinkiest thing you have ever done, seen or heard?
I'm debating between searching my memory or just going with whatever pops into my head.As a single act, it's hard to say, but I had a crazy kink session a couple of months back.I put a collar on a girl, tied her up, fucked her, put a clothespin on her clit and a couple on her neck and one on her tongue, and kept that going for an hour or so. Then I discovered that she orgasms...very, very easily.I made her ask me for permission to cum, and I would wait for a good long time and deny her. Instead of letting her cum once, I would force her to cum 3 times. And then I'd back off, maybe change the way she was tied up, or do some breath play or something along those lines. And then start the process again.We were having sex on and off from about noon on Saturday to noon on Sunday. We didn't sleep a lot. It was nuts. She came 19 times by our final count. She spent most of that time with some part of her clamped, tied up, or restrained. The sheer quantity of kink over time was overwhelming. It took me multiple days to recover, I can't imagine what it was like for her.We were starting to get into really kinky stuff like drowning. Not actually drowning her, just breath play under water. I had just gotten a needle play kit since she was really into the idea but no one had indulged her before -- I find it kind of, vaguely hot, but it's not really a big thing for me.We broke things off before that went into practice, though. That whole relationship, though...goddamn. It was like a drug.

Can i straighten my permed hair?
I am not a hairdresser, but I DO know that the chemicals in perms are extremely damaging to the hair and if you do more to that perm-damaged hair, it will weaken it more and then you will get a lot of ends breaking off with dry brittle hair. I would consult with a hair expert and not do anything like that on my own since you are already dealing with damaged hair.
Do men actually like lingerie? I feel sexy in it, but it tends to come off within just a few minutes. Am I just wearing it for myself or do men actually appreciate it?
I’m going anonymous on this one because I really blew it. I was sick and disabled and not doing well. My wife got some fancy lingerie on the advice of a friend to “spice” things up. I think that fancy lingerie is a sad joke on women, suckering lots of money from them for almost nothing to no end. I had expressed my opinion many times in the past. I like skin and actively dislike the lingerie. When my wife showed up in it I laughed. She asked why. I answered something like “Have you EVER seen me express any interest in or arousal from fancy underwear. My only interest in it is getting it off as fast as possible.I don’t find it enticing or attractive in any way”. As any reasonable person would expect she broke out into tears and was pissed at me for a long time. It wouldn’t have cost me anything to play with her for a few minutes before taking it off. My only excuse is that I had been sick and disabled for years, I was depressed. Sex had largely gone bye-bye with the illness. It wasn’t a choice to not do. I considered expecting lingerie to do anything an insult as I wasn’t denying sex, I couldn’t do it because of the illnesses. We didn’t have the money to waste on fancy underwear to sit in the drawer, totally useless. I apologize decades too late. I still feel sad that I was such a clod, and it is 20 years or so later. I’m still not attracted to lingerie. However, having learned my lesson in just being a decent person, I would make an attempt to recognize that it was an offer to play and to try to do so in a way satisfying to her. That was just one thing possibly leading to divorce. I was miserable for decades and passed the misery around. If I had it to do again I hope I would choose to do it differently.This was only one of many things I made choices on that just were not important to me but were important to the other person and could have improved the combined life experience. Now I would prefer to make the choice towards pleasing the other person, especially when it is a “nothing” to me.
