Perms and orther forms of torture...

[Guest guest]

Perhaps we could form a coaliton on Nons...calling ourselves KOAL...KO's

against Lilt (remember the pink box with the purple lettering??) Perhaps the

DSM-iv could be updated to have a tenth criteria...engages in negligent and

reckless use of home based beauty supplies resulting in the partial or

complete mutilation of one or more hairstyles....hmmm

(Sorry if the sarcasm is a bit heavy this evening I am in the middle of a

heavy FOG)

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! Debbie, you are hysterical! <wiping tears from

my eyes> Although I'm sure it wasn't all that funny at the

time! I have a good laugh over all of my hair disasters now,

too! Remember the " Big Hair " 80s? I don't know if I should

laugh or cry when I look at those pictures!

Unfortunately, I have straight, baby-fine hair (the grass is

always greener, isn't it?), and nada decided early on that was

unacceptable (hmmm, SHE has curly hair -- I guess I had to look

more like her). She started giving me home perms when I was

around 8 years old!! Of course, none of them took (I was too

young, and missing a crucial part of the hair shaft that doesn't

appear until you're older). So she would try again every 6

months or so. They finally started taking when I was around 11

or 12, and I had my hair permed every 6 months until I was 18.

My mom would always tell the hair dresser (yes, she finally let

me go to one) to use the " smallest rods possible " , so the perm

would " last longer " . Never mind that my hair would grow out

straight, and then at a defined line all around my head it would

suddenly burst into poodle-frizz. My hair was so damaged (and I

also got the requisite brushings) that I was just one big

frizz-ball for years and years. Finally (once I was 18 and

legally an adult) I let it grow out. Surprise, surprise, I have

a very slight natural wave! I went years with my hair natural,

and finally decided to get a spiral perm earlier this year in

the hopes that I would get more body. I'm pretty happy with the

results, but only brush my hair right before I get in the

shower!

Hugs,

my mother and i used to fight about the hair. so on my 18th birthday,

with all of my summer earnings I went and got a professional hair cut,

real short, just like she hated.

Dork photos must abound on this list...I have one with the horrid perm and

the brown velvet dress...it is a full frontal of me, then special effect

profile of me floating to the left of my head. How odd...me

duplicated...looking exactly like Megatron wanted herself to look like.
