i mean as you can see i'm in no position to be arguing the finer points of these books with anyone! but also i am curious about the perm stuff. is it just bc it makes look like poodles?
Most perms are ridiculously destructive even to coarse Afrikan hair-- a white girl doing that to herself, ESPECIALLY with any kind of regularity, is a recipe for straight-up baldness by the time she's thirty. Acid stripped, dry, and split-ended if she's lucky.

My mom got perms every month or so for decades, so I'm not sure that's true. Maybe they use different chemicals for natural hair?
My mom actually had grey hair as a kid, so she coloured her hair basically all her life, and same as you, didn't really affect her long term
