If you start to look like you have tumbleweed on yus head, shave yur head.

Soo, exactly one week into my perm and I'm feeling saddness.

I have ,er.. had. the flatest hair. It was that kind that looks at a curling iron and faints.Last week I got this brilliant idea to get a 'body wave', which apparently is really just a loose perm... On my hair.. it was curly. CRAP.

After 3 hours of setting rollers, pouring chemicals on me and making me wait, I vaguely remember her saying 'I hope you like big hair! I dooo!" as i stared in shock at my now fluffy hair.

What have i donnnnnne?!

Slowly i come to terms with my decision. It will eventually wear off right? yea... in 3 months. double crap.

So I leave the salon with a puffy new do, it grows on me. When i am finally allowed to wash my chemical smelling scalp I am uber excited.

2 days follow with great hair results, bouncy curls, no frizz. I must be a master at curly hair... A few more days pass and I start to notice portions of my under layers are not so curly. What is this?! I try to go with the whole 'let it chill for a day, dont touch it wash it or anything' ,yea,still limp. WTF, my right side of my head looks saggly.

I finally give in and buy some curl enhancing products, wash, apply, scrunch and it look decent, crisis averted. Hours later I pass a mirror, where has this flat area come from and why is it looking more waved than curled, also why is my smooth bounce starting to look frazzled and fro-ish?

Begin seriously regretting this decision. I just haaaad to look more like my sisters didnt i. damnit damn damn. Paw at hair. Apply anti frizz, look greasy.Cry.Stare in the mirror for an hour. I have no idea how to handle this. my hair has never been a frizzed mess. I look like i stuck my finger in a socket while wearing nails made of metal.

WHAT DO I DOOOO???? Also, since the upper curl seems to be going no where fast, how do i revive the wasted mess at the bottom? Without obviously spending hours curling those pieces. Why is this happening a WEEK after I had this done? I waited 48 hours as directed before my first wash. Does my hair suck that much?! Probably. Triple crud.

Perhaps I should follow in the footsteps of Allie from 'Hyperbole and a Half' and shave my head? I don't really want to resemble a cancer patient though. Tomorrow I will attempt to right this. somehow. I cant say for certain HOW but... it will happen. I hope.

well suggestions are always a plus!
