For as long as I can remember, I have been using that creamy crack to permanently straighten my hair. In fact, up until my tenure at Howard University, I had no idea that there was any other way for a Black woman to do her hair. I assumed that it was a right of passage to Black womanhood, that every 4-8 weeks all Black women traveled to their respective stylists and got a relaxer. Now, of course I saw many women with gorgeous curls and 'fros, but at the time I just assumed that it was a mere styling choice...some sort of a set after their hair was relaxed. Yea, I know, I was rather naive...and possibly in denial.
