How do you wear your Hair?

Mine got damaged from way too many perms when I was younger. (Thanks, mom). My mom wanted her only girl to look like Shirly Temple. I came out with perfectly straight hair. She started perming it when I was still young. And I got regular perms until I was in my late 20s. Then When my hair started changing, I stopped the perms. To late. That is also why I won't color it.

I inherited mine from my father. Then after my hysterectomy it thinned a little more.

Oh, Marie... I remember those old perms! Not only were they harsh on ones hair, they stunk to high heaven! I remember the ammonia in them would waft through the house and smell for days, burning at your nose and eyes.

The funniest thing is he asked my mom to do it and she’d never done a perm in her life and my brother originally had straight. When she permed his hair it not only curled it to resemble an SOS/ Brillo pad but it coloured it so it looked more reddish . His hair was originally dark brown so when I first saw it I cracked up laughing. To this day I feel so bad for laughing it him cause you could tell he hated it and there was nothing he could do about it. I just couldn’t believe he wanted a perm. Too bad I don’t have a picture. 😂 Just kidding.

It’s surprising what a difference one inch makes to coarse curly hair. It feels so much healthier. Yayyy! Cause I hate straggly long hair. I even like my braids to have thick ends. 😝 Its that OCD thing
 
I'm not comfortable enough yet with going to the hairdresser, though both my older sisters recently went. They had their hair blow-dried, which I thought wasn't being done.

My hair is thick, and grows fast. The humidity makes my head hot. It's shoulder-length right now. I like it in a shorter blunt-cut or bob.
 
I'm waiting for my hair to grow back, after cancer treatments, so i have an option as to how i can wear my hair. lol Unlike some of you lucky gals, my hair grows really, really sloooow. :oops: P.S. Hence the "cap with hair" i'm wearing in my pic. Thank goodness for THAT option! (y)

We share hair, though mine in light brown and (like my mother) I apparently won't ever turn grey. I have wisps that fly away every time I move. I used homemade super-spray to hold it in place while working, now it's lots of clips and scrunchies - all baby sized! Gathered up in a pony tail, it doesn't amount to much! After a radical haircut, it is finally growing out and rests in the hollow of my collar bone (unless there is a one mile per hour breeze!).

Blow drying isn’t allowed here, and you have to wash your own hair before they will cut it,
And no colour and tints until August..............she will cut my husbands hair, at home but no beards trimmed.until August......
