Well it is less straight in today's shot but didn't you whack off a few inches?? Get your mom to even it out more.. or just fluff one side up more..

Zachsmom your hair is absolutely beautiful!! I like it straight and I love it curly. It looks so healthy. I think your head is just tilted funny and the right side of your hair is just a little further up your shoulder. I would give anything to have hair like that!!!

I'm thinking about getting a perm on my hair. It's really fine though, and I'm just afraid it'll soak up the chemicals and afro-poof curl or something. As long as I go to someone who knows what they're doing, I'll be fine right? I mean, a hairdresser should be able to look at my hair and tell me if it'll perm nicely or not, correct?

Z: you wrote: ------------------------- "Z, HOLY SHIT IT'S NOT STRAIGHT!! I want my money (and hair) back!!" ------------------------- again i'm confused. didn't you get a perm? so, of course it's not straight. or, did i miss a post where you had the perm taken out (i did that once way, way back in the late 70's when perms were in style....my hair came back to it's normal healthy condition, no problem.)? i remember years back seeing a photo of you w/very long hair (i consider your hair long now, but i guess it's not long in your eyes). it looked like you had naturally wavy hair (not curly)...not straight hair. there are SO MANY GREAT PRODUCTS. you can let your permed hair dry naturally and use products that will not make the curl a bit looser, not so full..if that's what is bothering you about your hair. i think you look beautiful. but...i know you don't feel comfortable with the perm. depending on the condition of your hair, you can have it taken out...but most hair stylists won't recommend it (or be responsible for the outcome). i took the chance and had mine taken out...no problem..but, i don't recommend it. it could really damage your hair (from what all the "experts" said). if you keep the perm, i suggest trimming it again...let it dry naturally w/the right products. any beauty supply place/person can help you w/that. that way, it will be wash and air dry (and just add the right product). sometimes, when you try to style your hair w/a perm, if you don't know what you are doing...tends to make it just be "poofy", imo. also, if you want to make it straight (well, in my experience) it takes hours to get it straight. so, i recommend letting it go natural...but get the products that will work with your hair/perm. again, Z, i really think you look great..but i understand that you don't like it and that's what matters.

I don't think she was referring to her perm. I think Zmom meant that when she trimmed it, it appears that she may not have trimmed it straight across.

neko, i wouldn't do the perm. no, i don't think a hairdresser can tell if you will get frizz or not. i never get frizz on my hair...but the perm, well not soft curls like i "thought". i just looked at your photo in your profile. it looks like you have straight hair. i used to have very thick, straight hair. now my hair is thinner. how do you usually style your hair? do you have to blow dry it or can you let it air dry? either way, have you tried to curl it? you might try this: after your hair is dry (and straight)...take small sections and tightly twist it the full length of the hair. try bigger sections on top if your hair curls easily. after it's twisted (will look like a twisted straw)...kinda' coil it to the scalp. keep it in place w/a bobby pin or two. then lightly spray/mist it w/water...or hair product. blow dry for about 3 minutes. after about 20 minutes, take out. you might get a nice curl doing that. trial and error. eta: i've only done this on my hair when it was long...and it really looked nice (when i wanted a change). if the curl is too tight...just lightly blow dry 'til you get the curl you want. eta: if "bobby pins" are no longer on the market..i have several antiques i can send you. lol

neko, forgot to add. after taking out the "twists" don't brush or comb your hair. air dry it lightly and use your fingers to "comb/style" it in place, then use "cool" on the blow dryer. this is really easy and from start to finish shouldn't take more than 5-10 min. (except for the 15-20 min. it takes to "set")

Zachsmom, you have gorgeous hair. I am so jealous. I think it probably is straight across the bottom but only looks crooked as the hair on the left side is straighter than the hair on the right and the curls make it draw up.

i'd love to have hair like yours, too, zmom! it's so thick and healthy looking. i have very fine hair. getting a perm would probably destroy it! yours looks great, though!
