That could never happen! Water won't ruin it....shampoo will! That's why you can't wash for 24 to 48 hours! Lol...Daughter of a beautician. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-546789 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:05:03 +0000 Mrs. J 546789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@EBSC: it loosens with time, but it lasts in your hair until you cut it out! Mine is about a year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-546785 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:03:54 +0000 Mrs. J 546785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had one since I was seven! I have one right now, actually. It's a spiral perm, so it's really natural looking. Most assume I have curly hair, but I have stick straight won't hold a curl hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-545083 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:25:45 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 545083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-545058 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:11:56 +0000 Lindsay05 545058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did lots of foolish styles with my hair in the past, but I did not perm. Thank goodness lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-545057 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:09:50 +0000 EBSC 545057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redsmarties I feel you! HB is apparently a truth zone bc...<br /> Yes! I have one right now, kind of. </p> <p>I have naturally curly hair, BUT, like half of my hair is really curly and half is awkward waves. And it's not evenly distributed. So I go in like once every year-eighteen months to get a perm and even it out. But I still only claim the naturally curly, bc it def is. And from what I'm reading above, perms aren't supposed to last a year and a half, but that's where I am now and it's def curly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-544994 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:51:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 544994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh yes! some of my worst pictures in my photo albums are from when my mom permed my SHORT hair...ugh I liked awful. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-544844 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:00:49 +0000 Turd Ferguson 544844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, never. I so wish there was...something that could like, make your hair look all fabulously loose-wavy/big curled... Basically I want my hair to look great without having to do anything... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-544843 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:00:46 +0000 .twist. 544843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom used to give me perms all the time and I hated them. I have super fine hair and it would usually burn off a lot of hair so I'd have rows and rows of little short hairs all over my head </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-544838 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 15:59:16 +0000 MsLipGloss 544838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahahahaha!

I would go home with an old lady perm... Lovely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-543369 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:57:12 +0000 heffalump 543369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. My mom used to have a perm. She has red hair.... and I used to draw her with curly red hair. She looked like a clown :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-541948 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:03:38 +0000 T-Mom 541948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a bunch growing up. Last one I got in Taiwan in college. It was really pricey and I thought it turned out pretty good, but my cousin told me it made me look like his dog. That was my last perm ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-541929 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:01:15 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 541929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally did in grade 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-541920 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:00:40 +0000 Sammyfab 541920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom permed our hair all the time when we were young!

When I was very young and was doing pageants. My hair doesn't hold a curl so perms were the way to go for me. I got them frequently between the ages of like 7-10? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-541836 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:52:08 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 541836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: how did you live your korean-american childhood with no pahmas?!!! </p> <p>i have had too many to count! i love my korean perms...i'm taking a break right now since i went 7 years straight with permed hair, but i know they'll be back one day...;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-541564 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:13:26 +0000 SAHM0811 541564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if a digital perm counts, yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-541557 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:12:25 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 541557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Secret coming out here.<br /> I've actually had several perms. I'm rocking one right now. </p> <p>That being said, its not 80s spiral perm curls. Its just something to give at least a little wave to my stick straight, super fine hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-541552 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:11:54 +0000 lovehoneybee 541552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was like 6...from a box.

My mom used to give me a perm several times a year when I was young (early to mid 80s) because my hair would hold a curl. My sister got away without it because her hair doesn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-gossip#post-541486 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 20:01:37 +0000 Sweet T 541486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never have.
