You don’t understand how hard it is to get a comb through extremely coiled hair. Our hair gets even harder to comb when wet. A relaxer helps smooth out the curl and helps us comb it out without pulling it out. Black people have very dry and brittle hair to begin with. That is why it stays short. When wearing a weave, we are protecting the hair and allowing it to grow underneath.
