I had a friend who's ds (age 3 at the time) had a beautiful, healthy grade of hair and she just didn't feel like being bothered with the task of weekly/biweekly shampoo, conditioning, detangling, etc..... so when she called me and asked me about putting a perm in, I gave her all of the details- how most children's hair follicles/strands are not even fully developed before the age of 13, so perming before that time can be really detrimental to hair health.
Even with that, she still wanted to put a perm in this babies hair- not wanting to see her ruin this lil' girls hair, I volunteered to do this chiild's hair every week or every other week. I told her, she could drop her off on saturday evenings and I'd take care of it.
The next time I saw her, the baby had a perm.
I could not believe she did that and I think it is sooooo selfish. This mess-up along with some others is the reason why she and I aren't friends anymore. I am only friends with like-minded people and this chick obviously doesn't have a sound mind.... smh.
