If you choose African American hair
It is recommended that you do not perm or relax hair soon before application. Doing so will make your natural hair too straight which will make your natural hair stick out through the braided extensions. The thicker and kinkier the hair, the more likely and longer the extensions will stay in place. Another reason is your freshly chemically treated scalp and hair can cause your hair to break off with the application and weight of the hair extensions.

It will hurt your scalp.
