New hair on tuesday

[Elph]

Well I took the plunge today and booked my apt. with a hairdresser to get a perm and cut......I will go from "just about" tailbone but definatly waist to midback with a spiral perm - think the main character from hellcats.

I will get some pics tomorrow of before hair and then after on Tuesday with the result. I am going to then go through and post a blog about caring and dealing with it.

To those who will (and I know there are many) say that I sould not do it, thanks but please don't go on about it. I have had pretty much natural hair for 4 years with maybe 3 dyes or hennas with nothing for the last 2 years. I now want a change and enjoy my hair, the biggest issue I have is wearing it down and want to embrace it down.

So to all check my post tomorrow for a pic.

Check out the images in my album. The process was a bit long - 3 hours but good. The cut was a bit shorter then expected and the curl is a bit smaller but I like it. I have had it in half up and am dealing really well with it. I am loving the cut. I have to comment that the hair dresser was great - the comments about how it is in good condition, no upselling and I was told to keep doing what I am doing.

My hair doesn't seem to have lost to much moisture and as such feels pretty good at this stage.

I did this back in 1998 with similar length hair. Loved it at the time.

Good luck, can't wait to see photos. Just a heads up though, be warned it will seem as if your entire hairtype has changed, and it may not like the products it usually does; you may well need to hike up the moisture treatments in particular. Fingers crossed it won't take you as long to work out as it did me when I went the perm route.

Good luck, and congrats on not letting anyone else change your mind, too many people worry about what other people think and say.
