been toying wif the idea of perming my hair since last year... worried me will look weird wif 'bombastic' and 'high maintenance' hair... oso more worried that perming will damage my hair further....
asked frens for advice n opinions... even did some research on my own on the net... chanced upon a forum wif a thread on perming, wif some tips on daily maintenance so that hair wun turn too dry or coarse...
finalli on last sat, 13/1/07, made appointment wif my hair stylist @ 10.30am, the time the saloon opens... reckons it will take a long time, so might as well have it done earli... lionel, my hairstylist, said can perm, dun hv to wori, cos similar to rebonding, wun dry hair... 1st, he layered my hair (keeping the length), then rebonded roots of hair to ear level, then permed my hair from the ear downwards... will do highlighting 2 weeks later, so as to let the curls settle 1st, & he will do touch up if need be...
@ 1st, after he put cream and blew-dry my hair, me seemed 2b wearing those judge's wigs, wif many strands of tight curls, realli looked so funni... he told me since me been used to straight, rebonded hair, me may take a while to get used to permed hair... which is veri veri true....
on sun, me even contemplated rebonding my hair again, cos the curls jus seemed so un-manageable! hair seemed 2b in a mess everytime, me cant comb my hair too... instead of alwiz brushing my hair like me used to do, hv to twirl my hair nw instead.... instead of twirling into 4-5 strands, me jus curl into 2 big strands n bring forward...
nw getting more used to it... :)) *phew* else my $200 n 5hrs spent on dis will go down the drain...
