I want to repair my hair. My mom made me do perms for my whole life (17 years), but I'm old enough now to say no. How do I repair my hair so it's not stuck in a halfway relaxed state?

I would talk to a professional stylist and have him/her assess your hair and recommend next steps. If you can find one that offers any natural suggestions (there are lots of recipes online for hair masks made with things like coconut oil, olive oil, bananas, honey etc), that would be the best as you don't want to use any more harsh chemicals if you don't have to--some stylists are also naturalists so if you can find one, that would be my suggestion!
If they recommend purchased products, read the ingredients carefully and pick those with the least number of things that you don't know (chemicals and such) or if money is an issue, tell them you will consider them next time and Google natural/homemade hair masks based on what they tell you about your hair's condition.
I hope you and your mom can handle future hair discussions with respect and calmness since it sounds you have been quite distraught over having perms all of these years.
Post back what you learn and how things are with your mom!! Prayers and blessings to you!
For this new turn in your life see a professional so you could learn all of the options!
Deep condition weekly. Avoid brushing your hair when it is wet. Avoid using any heat appliances. Use a styling gel and just scrunch your hair.
Provide your hair with lots of conditioning treatments and regular hair trims.
Best to consult a professional for your hair, as it varies per person.
If you are tired of having a perm in your hair and it is damaged I do find coconut oil on the hair is a great way to repair the hair. I live on a island and they sell this in all of our stores.
