it is better to perm the hair then dye because the chemicals in the relaxer will strip the hair of color. This increases the risk of your hair color being lighter than you desired.

You are an African American girl with natural hair but you want a scene girl look Is there a way you can make your natural hair into scene hair without a perm?
totally! i'm African american as well. you can do what i do (wash, blow dry, flat iron) or whatever gets it straight. u can also get a texturizer, which is a very mild perm. as for no heat, lots of ribbons, headbands, clips and bows will be fine. if you want teased scene hair, straighten, and then tease! simple as that.( you can look up how to tease it, there are videos too) you also can get the layers, but i dont recommend it. my hair looks cute just plain, with scene-ey cloths as well. oh, and i dont have a perm.
