Very short hair + classic perm, what percentages are we giving on the outcome of my ending up with a Keegan? Shall we run a book?

[HoneyDragon]

I've booked the appointment. It's not that bad a look is it? In the grand scheme of things?

You'll be fine. Good luck.

Honey where are you? Are you out swishing your fabulous hair? You are, aren't you ?

Did it go well?

Not yet I'm booked for Tuesday and they are shut now till then so as I now have to pay for the appointment regardless I may as well have it done

Oh you bad Honey .

I'm excited by this thread. Y'know, I've never pictured you with short hair Honey. Or a perm.

Mind. Blown.

Current length of hair. This is the most recent picture I have. Hullygully was repeatedly punching me because I wouldn't take her for a walk. It was 35 degrees at the time, but she was still quite cross.

I reckon permed it'll be above my ears again.

The Great Perm Disaster of '92 was caused by me having very, very thick slightly wavy hair so I think you'll be ok. Will we be getting after pics?

Obviously. Especially if it goes tits up. It's like a public service then.

Honey, for the record you are definitely young and pretty! Good luck with the perm.

Back in the Olden Days when I had perms AND worked in a hairdressers we were always told at least 1 inch loss of length. But you gain in volume. You want a spiral perm? So yes, it'll be above your ears. Just watch your fringe.

And if I may be so bold - a very tame hairstyle for you at the moment Honey !

I know Herman. It was all part of a carefully constructed plan as I noticed I had LOADS of grey coming through. So shaved my head so it could all come out salt and pepper and I'd be very funky and glam.

But I shaved it all off and then it all geee back brown?! All the white and grey disappeared

Geee is meant to be came

Hmmmm. Don't know what that is about . You'd think it would be the other way round.

I know?

Theories are that maybe it was stress/lifestyle at the time. Bit I had a huge white streak and it's just gone.

As much as I'd like to the after photo 😉 don't do it!
You could always phone first thing on Tuesday and ask if you could have a colour instead, saves you being out of pocket.
If I were you I'd wait until it was a bit longer before thinking about a perm, saves you ending up with a granny perm. 😲

I'd be a bit concerned about your side fringe, it's going to be very short & curly

There is rather a lot to go horribly wrong ....

In Scotland a "spiral jobby"is NOT something you'd want on your head

FinallyThroughTheRoof I've got tears in my eyes

You might have inadvertently upped your vitamin B intake, - it can turn your grey hair back to brown

The original photo is on someone with very thick, layered hair I think. Yours is less thick, and you don't want layers. I don't think you'll quite get that look. But it could still be lovely! And as you are comfortable with short hair, it's not as disastrous if it goes wrong!

Btw don't do it.......

HoneyDragon you're a grown woman and can do what you want but please, please DO NOT DO THAT
