Once I washed my hair, it went back to being curly.
She used one of those hot flat irons to straighten it...no perm.
I was happy to get my curls back.
My mom use to be a beautician...and as kids we always wanted poker straight hair. Now that I'm older, I can appreciate my curls...I thought the back of my hair looked super cool too...but I don't think I would take the time to wear it that way every day.
Maybe the next time my niece comes to town she will do it for me again....she loves doing hair and makeup on us...she's only 14, but is so grown up and talented.
