If you are pregnant, and you are an African American can you get perms?

What would your race have to do with it. Race has no effect on how the chemicals would affect someone. You probably should not inhale too many chemicals -- well, at any time, not just when you are pregnant -- but that is whether your black, white or hot pink. Did someone tell you this that they heard or their momma told them and she heard it from her momma. It sure sounds like an old wives tale to me -- and those old wives have a lot to answer for considering how wrong they usually are.

I think no matter what race you are you arent supposed to do anything chemically related to your hair when your pregnant. Just ask your doctor, he/she would know better than any of us..........
