"I Want Curly Hair!"

"I Want Curly Hair!" This is what Anna has been begging for for quite some time now. She wanted curly hair so bad she could taste it. I think it is the age and wanting to be like mom, since I have had perm after perm basically all the way since 2002. Don't get me wrong, I have straightened my hair, but the maintenance and up keep to keep my hair nicely straight suck and I eventually, no more than 8 weeks later get it curly again. I just went through one of those said phases. It has been straight for about 8 weeks now. It was no longer wash and go hair....it was wash, dry, curling iron, hairspray, curling iron, frizzy hair. I can't have perfectly straight pretty hair. No, I have frizzy hair. Anyhow, I think I have strayed off topic. Anna has really wanted curly hair and when I told her I was getting another perm and making my hair curly, she said she wanted one too. I told her how bad it stinks and about the rollers hurting your head, but she really wanted curly hair, so yesterday, she went curly. (Although I am not sure how long it will last, since she has stick straight hair, but it is curly, for now.) Anyhow, here are some pictures of Anna's first home perm. I was six when I got my first one too....want to see the pictures? LOL!

Right after she was all rolled:

Right after I tortured her by rinsing out the "stinky stuff": (At this point she NEVER wanted a perm again):

The end result:

It turned out pretty cute, don't you think?! And now, the picture you all wanted to see, a picture of me getting my first perm. I was actually 4 years old according the age on the back. Can you believe I was actually 4 years old for my very first perm? I thought 6 was young. LOL!

Here it is:

Hope you enjoyed it. Anna was okay until we put the actual perm solution in, then she wasn't happy until we put the neutralizer in. LOL! Hope you all have a great week and God Bless.
