So, I am always trying to find what is the ideal style for me because I am too lazy to do my hair regularly and I also do not want to look like a stereotypical Asian with long, straight, black hair.
This summer, I thought I would go for the permed look again. Little did I know that in the States it is actually difficult to find a place that still does perms, as it has basically gone out of style. Everyone does highlights these days. Luckily, I found a place and the stylist understood what I wanted – something fun and wavy. The perm was good, but my hair was growing out and I still was not satisfied.
Upon talking with R and mentioning someone’s hair on a movie we were watching, he said he thought my bob from two summers ago was the best hair style I had and did not know why I had gone long and curly. I explained that I did not know he liked it so much as he had never said that before. He confirmed that the bob was really nice.
Since he is gone at the moment, and I wanted to make sure I was happy with my hair before work begins fully, I booked an appointment at a different salon than I have been going to but has a good reputation. I explained what I wanted and I think she did a pretty good job.
The bottom row is how she styled it blowing out all the curl. The reality is that I will *NEVER* take the time to do that on my own and so after I got home and had a swim, I did the hair as I would normally. I think it looks better with the curls actually, but in any case, it is manageable.
So…I think I might just actually be satisfied! Plus, I found a new stylist perhaps and not get annoyed with like I did with the previous ones. π
