Do you have a cauliflower perm?

If so how old are you? How old were you when you got it? Is it something that happens to everyone? Will I reach a certain age and automatically adopt one? Or will cauliflower perms die out with this generation of older ladies?

Sat in my local Wetherspoons and am surrounded by white cauli perms. Just wondering the average age. I reckon some must be only late fifties/early sixties.

My mum has the same haircut she has had since she was in her late 20s, a bob, or "page boy" as she calls it. She's in her early 70s now.
Its not a great bob, more a bowl cut, and her hair is quite wiry now.
We call it "the mushroom".

A Pageboy is different to a bob, a pageboy has longer hair, feathered onto the face, a tad longer than shoulder length.

A bob should stop at the shoulders.
