You might be a “Southie” if...

My younger self wanted so badly to look like those 70s Country/Western stars with their lavish curly manes. :lau (The idea of hair pieces never even occurred to me--such an innocent!) I got the perm... several times.:gigThe FL humidity defeated me every time. That and the realities of gravity. I ended up cutting my hair b/c it gave me an awful headache to wear it up as required by my job (hospital nursing). I tried the perm again and hooray!!! It worked very well. On HALF of my head.:thWhere was humidity when I needed it to save me from that horrible perm? Oh everywhere as always--doing NOTHING for my hair. View attachment 2226793View attachment 2226794
I'm afraid of what would happen if I cut my hair. I have very long, VERY thick blonde hair. It's naturally curly, but so long that it doesn't quite hold a curl very well, unless it's slightly humid. When it is really humid it looks like a lion's mane. Were I to cut it, especially in a humid place, I'm sure it would end up looking like an afro. I would NOT look good in an afro. Some people pull it off very nicely. Me? No. Bad idea.

Mine has always been straight as a stick. Except now, since straight is in style, I guess. :lau It's now pleasantly wavy, which suits my taste. And no longer blond but quite brunette! I like it--I am content. 🙂 Who knew hair would change this way with age? 🤷‍♀️

My hair was straight thick and smooth....until my mom decided to give me a home perm when I was like...10. it was pretty bad.
The underneath was totally fried and got so knotted up I remember my grandma furiously working on it and cutting out the knots.
It's never been the same since then.
I used to get spiral perms when I was younger. I quit doing that years ago and it's still curly🤷

Hey! That's what happened to my makeup this morning...
Anyways, wowza that's some warm weather! Imagine getting in that truck, which I'm betting had a black leather interior, with shorts on. Ouch! Could grill a steak on that!
