have curly hair

my wonderfully maternal housemate permed it two weeks ago and i love it almost as much as i adore said housemate.

Not gone for curly curls, I have sexy beach waves. Looks really natural and not a hint of the old acid perm!

I will have a head full of curls c/o Tony and Guy soon. Very excited!

Something happened when I hit my teens and my hair went from lovely, shiny, and straight to a complete curly mess. And drying it only works so much; as soon as it gets the slightest bit wet it springs back to its usual. Consequently, when it rains, half my head will look fine and the other half will look like I’ve been electrocuted.

I’ve learned to deal with it; cutting it shorter last summer helped a lot. I can let it air-dry and do its thing without being too concerned with how it looks now, though it does tend to give me a bit of a wild appearance. Which I suppose, in certain situations, is not necessarily a bad thing.

My friends seem to enjoy debating whether they like my hair or not, I guess because they all have normal, pin-straight Asian hair and I look quite strange next to them. I think half of them love it and half think I should do something to fix it. I’m torn; some days I can tolerate it and some days I feel like shaving it all off.

Well anyway, this was a very pointless, superficial entry on an even more pointless, superficial topic. Back to studying.

I straighten it every day. Yuck.

From the age of 8 until I was 11ish my family would have me get perms! Ugh, it was AWFULL! I’d protest and say no but it was if they’d never heard of the word “no” and thus didn’t know what it meant, I always figured that they had the consent of at lest one of my parents but later (years later) found out they only ever consented to this once, the very first time I got a perm. Yet when seeing as how it made me completely utterly and absolutely miserable to have a rat’s nest on my head my parents never gave permission to do so again, and yet it kept happening, with excuses like “oh me and ** are just going to Toys R’ Us” and other such crud, then once returned home I’d “magically” gotten a perm!

I think curly/premed hair looks really great on some people, romantic or spunky even, unfortunately I wasn’t one of those lucky ppl! No instead I looked like I never brushed my hair! It wasn’t even hair as far as I was concerned just a ratty fried FRIZZY FRIZZY mess that was atop my head! I’ve come to the conclusion that my family either has a really sadistic since of humor or truly had good intentions. Regardless dew to the superficiality of my peers I had to endure a bunch of crap that I probably wouldn’t of had to deal with otherwise, most likely if it weren’t for my hair I would of just been ignored, but I can speculate all I like the fact of the matter is that it changes nothing.

as i hated it when i was younger, and technically i haven’t ‘done’ anything, other than leave it alone. but now i do love it.

I have pretty curly hair, which is rare for an Asian. However, the grass is greener on the other side. By this I mean that people with straight hair want curly hair, and people with curly hair want straight hair.

I did find that when I bleached my hair, it became straight. Maybe I should bleach it and then color it? Or just shave it all off again.
