Gouraphik | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 05:41 pm     I was discussing Danielle’s plan to perm her hair with my sister, when she gasped. When I added that Danielle wanted Amy to do it for her, she nearly swooned. Ok...she didn’t swoon, per se, but she was shocked. Essentially, she thinks that it's a bad idea. The “perm” kit that Danielle has right now is more likely a hair relaxer (a euphemism for a hair straightener). Now, since hair relaxers are usually lye-based, it’s important that the person applying it knows what they’re doing. If the solution is too strong, or if it’s left on for too long, it can cause serious chemical burns to the scalp. The hair can also become brittle and break off, leaving unsightly bald patches on the scalp. The hair will probably grow back, but in the meantime, it’s a disaster. My sister said that given the fact that Amy is probably unfamiliar with the product, it would be unwise to let her do it. Even if Danielle knew how to do it (which I sort of doubt), it wouldn’t be a good idea. It’s too messy and complicated to do by yourself, unlike a relatively simple hair-dye job. While it’s possible that Amy & Danielle will do a good job in spite of their ignorance, my sister says that it’s just not worth it in the end. BB3 will end in less than 2 weeks, and Danielle can probably get away with her hair in its current state for a while longer. Failing that, she could always wear a bandanna. |
Sheila494 | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 05:44 pm     gouraphik..its really not that complicated. |
Ericka1012 | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 05:45 pm     Maybe Dani's motive is being bald for the finals so they all will feel sorry for her...Think about it we're talking Dani here...nothing will keep her from winning it all.... |
Lisad | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 05:45 pm     LOL Sheila. And I'll add this is one of the more curious posts I've seen here. LOL |
Minnietlm63 | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 05:47 pm     Not meaning to be rude but.....WHO CARES! |
Gouraphik | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 05:48 pm     Hey...I'm just saying what my sister said. True, it may not be rocket science, but it ain't kid stuff either. Also, Danielle's hair isn't in total disarray yet. She could wait a couple of weeks, or get BB to get someone familiar with the process. Whatever. Better safe than sorry, I always say. |
Cameltoes | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 05:48 pm     I'm sure Danielle has done it before herself and Amy's help will be minimal. It's really not that big of a deal. If she has a brand she is familiar with, she will know exactly how long to keep it in, etc. The only people I've known who've had problems have used brands they never used before and/or kept the relaxer in for too long. |
Gouraphik | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 05:52 pm     Gee whiz! I just thought that this would be an interesting, if offbeat, factoid to bring up. There's no need to get all huffy! Since I'm normally focused on strategy for the most part, I thought I'd mention something that hadn't been focused on before. If you don't care, so be it. I sort of don't care, myself. |
Ericka1012 | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 05:56 pm     Gouraphik, strategy I think it's great strategy on her part...Bald (for finals), sympathy from jury...just because all these other people think your being way to caring for Dani...I know your thinking strategy |
Cameltoes | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:00 pm     Well if it is strategy.. I think it will backfire. Marc and Gerry are bald so they will account for the "big deal, join the club" contingent |
Gouraphik | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:01 pm     Ericka1012...that's funny, since I don't even really like Danielle! If she wins, so be it...but I just thought that the hair perming stuff was interesting. I guess curiosity killed the Gouraphik this time! LOL! |

Lilliegirl | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:02 pm     My My this post is so silly, Im a retired hairdresser after doing hair for 30yrs, Dani is not stupid she knows what she is doing and if you look at Amys blonde hair you will know she knows what she is doing to, we need to get a better topic to talk about like Do they shave there arms and legs? |
Moderator | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:03 pm     OMG, For cryin' out loud, is this really worth a file lock? |
Gritss | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:37 pm     Maybe we could argue over whether them using ant poison harmed the environmemt. Actually, threads like this just means everybody is bored out of their mind. |
Curlyq | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:52 pm     For what it's worth I used to relax my own hair when I was in the eighth grade. It's not that hard if you follow the directions. The only time I saw it ruin a person's hair was when someone I know used the extra-strength version on color-treated hair. BAD IDEA. P.S. Gouraphik, don't feel bad. If we can post threads about how we eat PB and about rubber ducks, I don't see how this was any more objectionable. As the game comes to a close, I suspect that it'll get harder to find more substantial topics for debate that haven't already been beaten into the ground. |
Earthmother | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 06:57 pm     Do you think that this is an evil plot by Dani to make Amy look bad so she will have reason to trash her and therefore vote her out, when in reality it will only make Dani have a bad hair day???? lol |
Costacat | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:01 pm     I really doubt Danielle's kit is a "relaxer" (I caught a glimpse on the quad cam). It's a perm. And if you look carefully, her hair is VERY straight right now. I don't know what her hair is like unprocessed, and I don't know if she had it chemically straightened and then used a perm (with big rods) to create a loose wave. But I'm sure Danielle is conversant with the side effects of perms, and is well aware that hair can be damaged to the point of total loss. I'm also sure Amy is well aware of same. If they follow the directions carefully, it should provide some mild entertainment for the HGs. Curlyq, that used to be MY nickname. And I used to use the straighteners that were intended for black -- or African American if you prefer -- people's hair. NOT a good idea for a white person's hair! I'd get straight hair, but geez would it be dry dry dry! My hair is too fine for that! (NOW I know! <snicker>) |
Twiggyish | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:14 pm     Earthmother, LOL (Picturing Dani on live tv with patches of hair missing) |
Curlyq | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:14 pm     Oops. I assumed since Danielle's ends are straight that she was using the term "perm" to describe a relaxer since some people use those terms interchangeably. It's possible you're right and she did have it straightened and then waved, but wow is that a lot of processing! Maybe she should wait after all. |
Blossumtree | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:24 pm     dear lord up above please let all of dani's hair, except for about 50 scragly strands, fall out at the hands of amy. i know this seems petty but dani has asked you for even pettier favors and you seem to be listening so i'm hoping that this works. oh, by the way please make sure my lotto number comes up tonight, it's 632. that's all for now, thanks. |
Grooch | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:28 pm     I thought your lotto number was 666.  |
Squaredsc | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:33 pm     the perm is only to straighten her hair at the roots, not to curl and not to straighten the ends. i've been doing my own "touch-ups" since i was 13. and this past year i've let my husband to it for me, he actually does a great job and helps 'cause sometimes i can miss a spot in the back. |
Letmeinthere | Friday, September 13, 2002 - 07:34 pm     Hope she ends up looking like a chia pet.
