Nick: See, now I say liao u dun believe.

What derive the above conversation? Cos I was struggling with my perm hair for a month!
Not exactly a wrong decision... I did not super duper regret after I walked out of the salon after the perm. In fact the perm is more dressy than straight hair. Just that I think I m too lazy for perm. why? Because of the following reasons:

• When you have perm hair, its either u make it super pong or super flat, the stage of half flat and half pong is the worse. When you have thick and high volume hair like mine, dun ever expect that it will get flat! Pong pong ness is the only option.

• Dun ever think that it is achievable to the style the mag show! Actually the hair stylist told me before, those soft curls are only achievable when u style or use temporary curls. It will not happen on perm curl hair.

• Every morning, need to wash (I only sprinkle water) the hair, pump hair gel to twist into curls. I tried with 2 big ones, cant work. Increase to 4 curls, not really enough, finally to 6 curls. I only have one style when it comes to working, half tied! Cos cant stand the side hair sweeping my face! Usually I will need to “re-style” when I reached office, cos I messed up my hair on the way to work.

• There are more patterns that can be explored with perms, but need time to style. During weekend when I eng eng, I spend time curling and I actually like the look. I hate it during working days when I need to spend some time “sprinkle water, put gel, curls, wash hand”… For the 1^st week, I spend on average 30 min to style, 2^nd week about 15 min… 3^rd week down to 5 min…. not that I get used to the process, but simply I get too lazy for it… clip, put gel mix with water, curl. The end results? frizzy ness. Hahaha… Then when I reached office, I will have to “re style”

• The curls will only look good when properly styled. Meaning locked in place. If left to “free play”, each strand will be on their own, then it become frizz!

• The curls will never stay if the qty of hair gel used to too little. As per instruction on the label, a 50 cents coin size is enough… well its never enough I would need a PAPER dollar size for that. There is once I apply too much, my hair look stiffed! The worse is everyday, I need to spend extra time, shampoo and water to wash away the gel, cos I dun want to smell like bubble gum (the smell of that purple ball gel)

• There are different comments on my curls, most ppl say it make me look more feminine, some say dun suit my style (cos I straight-forward type).

• Nick say it make me look more woman, when I ask look older? He still reply “more womanly”.... No elaboration required....

• The 1^st time wc saw me, she say I remind her of her mummy!

• The 1^st time surin saw me, she call me “Auntie”, when I got my hair straight, I ask surin how come u din realise ar, she reply, “ I know ar, that’s why I din call u Auntie!” Should I be happy with this remark? Hahahah

• Ws scold me for wasting money, but I think I dun want to torture myself having to delima, how? how? how? Hahaha

• I know I badly wants to have it "straight" back when I start to google "perm to rebond" and start to read of "regret" stories online. hahahah

• My conclusion is, I am too lazy… too lazy…Perm is definitely not meant for lazy ppl like me. Actuallly, the stylist told me b4, U need to spend time on styling de, 世上只有懒女人，没有丑女人。Ok,… I had to admit, I m that 懒女人……

• I still like curls, I think those temporary type is better and easier to managed...but I would only try it occasionally when I m feeling more "hardworking" hahahah...  :P
