What?!?! The claw clip went out of style and are now coming back??? I’ve continued to use them because…I could care less if it’s fashionable or not, they work in my hair. 😂

So I work at a middle school. These boys are growing out mullets and perming them. They actually look cool! So you go for it! Just not a mullet!

Hi Kiddo! I have “beautiful” naturally curly hair. I always hated it. I slept on large brush hair rollers every night of my 4 years in high school. Luckily by the time I reached college long frizzy hair was in style…. Yay me! However during my adult years I blew all the curls out. That was like for about 30 years …. Any way I’m letting it go natural now. A layered cut… it looks pretty good if I do day so. And it is easy!!!!!!! I tell you this because when I finally accepted my hair just the way it is, it was such a relief. Maybe your natural hair just needs to be cut just right or something. A perm is nice, too, of course, but I’ll bet your natural hair is very pretty, too. Everything is pretty about you. Has anyone mentioned your beautiful complexion? Good luck! Pictures?

I feel like we are living our lives in parallel. I'm literally doing this next week. I chopped off my LONG hair to a medium bob and next week I'm going in for a body wave perm and I cannot wait!!

Melissa, did you go through with the perm? I expected a video for the reveal. Did I miss it?

My hubby liked my permed hair back from the early 90’s when we met. My hairdresser told me I can have a perm but I would have to go grey. So it’s straight and brown or curly and gray. You choose …

I asked my stylist for one last month and she said she hadn’t done a perm since beauty school and she wasn’t about to start now. I have been thinking about finding a new stylist 🤪🤪

Omg I've been thinking about doing the same. I will wait to see how yours turns out first. I'm more of a follower in life. Lol.

Gurrrl, I literally had the same conversation with my stylist yesterday. I wanted loose curls, but she confirmed what all my girlfriends said, too 80ish. So I settled for a shape up til I get enough length to go for the style I want. Sigh.... I love that curly look. I will send you monthly chocolate if you can bring thd perm back.

My hair is super thick and has a mind of it's own. No matter how much I tried to straighten it, it never would get smooth. It would just get frizzy and the static would drive me insane! So a few years ago I decided to get a perm. It's soooo much easier to manage my hair now. I just get out of the shower, scrunch in some curl cream and go! Saves me so much time and frustration!

In the 90s I kept a perm in my long straight hair and loved it. Bring it back. I say do it. I’m remembering those pink perm rods I slept on every Saturday night and Sunday morning my hair with Dippity Dew in it. Lolol
