When (oh okay, BACK when) I was 18, having permed hair was all the go, (yeah, yeah, it was the 70's) so off I went to an expensive hair salon in Melbourne. My hair is superfine and not very thick ..so the end result was absolutely horrid, more like a tight afro frizz :faint: . Of course I paid, bottom lip quivered a thank you and walked out. I didn't have a car back then, so as I walked to the train station, I looked at myself with horror in every shop window! I even started to cry ;( I was so devastated (sad ey)! Boarded the train, and sat seemingly staring out the window, but was actually staring at myself in the window's reflection, mortified. So, I got out at the next stop, went to the first hairdresser and asked if they could straighten my hair. When did you have it permed? I was asked. Umm, about 30 minutes ago. OMG No Way your hair will fall out sorry no can do. So walk to the next Hairdressers, ask same question, but bend the truth just a little and say it was permed 30 days ago. Fine, take a seat. I did wonder if my hair was going to fall out, but hey, I figured bald was better than frizz! They couldn't completely straighten my hair, so was left with a soft wave. Perfect! Would you believe the end result looked great! LMAO Got back on the train and continued my journey home smiling at my reflection. Btw, I was feeling too embarrassed to tell anyone what really happened!

I'm sure most of us can relate to having a really bad "hairdo", that's just one of many I've had LOL

bend the truth just a little
Just a little?? hehe.

I have had lots of hair cuts over the years that I haven't been happy with but now I would just be happy to have my hair cut. It's been a long time. I never seem to manage to make an appointment. Also, not sure what to do with the baby, either.

My worst hair was an early 90s number with a big fringe *shudder*. I went home and washed it out but it didn't look right so I had it cut again (by someone else).

Ahh the perm, I remember begging my mum to let me get a perm when I was younger. Thank god I never had a poodle perm look tho LOL

I do very little with my hair these days, and I usually leave getting up cut till the spilt ends are so bad it gets really knotty, then we chop a heap off and start again :blush:

Oh goodness, I have had some shockers!
On my wedding day, I went a little too far with the white theme, and had white hair. It was the in thing back then :Hehe: . White hair, and a slathering of blue eye shadow :blush:
