I have been frustrated with my hair. When it's straight people ask if I'm not feeling well. And curling it every other day is a huge hassle. So my wonderfully talented hairstylist said a perm would help give me body.
It's been over 20 years since I've had a perm. It hurt! Those curlers are torture! But I love the outcome! So worth it! I hope that it will be easier to fix and keep up with.
On the Sewing Front:
I made another Love Notions Summer Basics dress with a 3-tier skirt. Something a little patriotic? I guess I can wear it from Memorial Day thru July 4th?

I have been wanting a solid black jersey knit dress for a while. This version I just made a simple gathered skirt, no tiers.

I'm making progress on the bathing suit, even though it's slow. I had to order some poly laminate foam for the bra cups.

DeleteI love your hair! It looks terrific.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYou look great with the new hair! It's been 30-ish years since I've had a perm. The pain, the burns, the smell, the fried hair, the time, the cost all finally put me off them. Your hair looks so nice - have perms changed so much in the decades? Dare I try one again? Will I still be able to donate my hair next time I grow it out?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind comments, I wish I had all the answers about a perm. I do have a trusted hairstylist that I think is a magician! Ask lots of questions. My hair hasn't been colored in almost 4 years so I didn't have any issues with that, but the gray streak didn't curl as much as the rest, Hmmmm? oh well. I'm enjoying the ease of haircare again!
DeleteYour hair looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much,
DeleteHugs!
