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?

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

In my head it's going to come out quirky and cute? Well after the initial hugeand fluffy till you wash it bit.

Petite that's really interesting, I donated blood on Thursday and the woman did an extra check as she thought my iron levels might be wrong, it turns out they are really high (in a good way). The reason she checked is they know I was on a stop previously for quite bad anemia (due to a previous medical cock up). Is their any evidence that low b12 or similar could've caused my lovely grey hair?

I've got naturally curly hair, the length of most of your hair I think will be fine, it's just the shorter bit at the front that would worry me, that has the potential to go a bit Keegan!

Please. Do. Not Do. This.

Cocolepew · 02/07/2017 15:57

You could look like this and not Kev.

Its certainly a brave move.

What's the worst that could happen?

It will be practical if nothing else.

Maybe consider going blonder whilst you're at it.

Of course there is the possibility that the perm won't 'take'

I've never ever seen anyone actually having their hair done in Walmart when I've been in ....now I know why.

Just place marking for the after pictures. I'm not sure if you're brave or foolish. Good luck.

That's surely photoshopped? Shock

I can't wait to hear how it turns out OP. I actually asked my old hairdresser about a perm last year but he put me off but I think he just couldn't be arsed. I think younger hairdressers are not confident doing them. I had one in in the late nineties when everyone else was doing the whole dead straight thing and it was fabulous. I never had so many compliments on my hair as people thought it was natural. They were shocked that it was permed.

BeyondDrinksAndKnowsThings · 02/07/2017 21:02

I need to see this.

I've been growing mine too (from shaven too) and was toying with the idea of a perm after curling it recently. Maybe you've started a trend? Grin

Okite · 02/07/2017 21:10

Yes low B12 causes premature greying.

You look kind of like a friend of mine who was really lovely and feisty.

HoneyDragon · 02/07/2017 21:21

Well damn, so the grey was actually a sign I was pretty damn poorly?

OP posts:
Okite · 02/07/2017 21:25

Could be. A lot of people find the grey goes again once they get their B12 back up, mine never has. Perhaps I'm genuinely old!

PacificDogwod · 02/07/2017 22:07

OMG, shaving my hair off will make it regrow brown again?!

PacificDogwod · 02/07/2017 22:09

This is me with no perm at all - my curly fringe when pulled straight goes way over my mouth...
