Went to the salon for a haircut yesterday, and because Dearie thinks I should try a change in my hairstyle, he thought perhaps I should try a perm.

And I did just that.

The hairdresser was really pleased with the curls, but my heart sank when I looked at myself in the mirror.

I dread the hand texture as I touch the curls, and it's all thanks to my already dry and damaged hair from 9 yrs of rebonding/dying/perming.

I can't help but think I look horrible, despite people telling me that I don't. Makes me wonder if they are trying to console me. Am working today, and I have noticed some people looking at me when I walk past, and I can't help wondering if they're looking at my hair.

Looks like I'll need lots and LOTS of treatment. One of my nurses told me that it'll get better with time (through her own experience). Let's hope she's right.

And yup, I think I'll be tying my hair for quite some time, until the curls have soften up.
