Now, I am no stranger to pain. I had my hair relaxed every two months from the age of eleven to twenty-three, and the feeling of your scalp burning away so that it weeps and scabs over the next day has set me up to deal with any injury you can throw at me. Sexual or otherwise.
Who wrote this? (Rhetorical question) Why would her head be bleeding and seeping from a perm? It's said as if this is the norm as opposed to the result of gross misuse. So, I wonder who this was written for. I'm no perm girlie nor do I have anything against perms, I used to get them but describing them this way seems like it was intended to invoke something in readers who know nothing about perms.
