picture it. circa 1991. i was a cute little girl in the sixth grade.
why my mother did this to me, i still have no clue. i realize that as a child, i had ridiculously thick hair. but i already had a perm. why she felt the need to slap this modern day jherri curl on my hair continues to puzzle me to this day.
the wave nouveau is designed to create a head full of bountiful curls. but it looked nothing like that on me. probably due to the fact that i had absolutely no clue what i was doing.
all pictures from this era in my life have been destroyed. if any such pictures happen to surface, they are immediately destroyed. i ran across a picture of my dad, brother and i on the steps of the u.s. capitol. yes, it was destroyed.
don't think that i've come to this point of self-revelation overnight. it's taken me a while to get here. after numerous jokes by a person who shall remain nameless (but if he reads this entry, he'll know i'm talking about him), i have finally accepted this shameful part of my hair history. although i wasn't of age to legally consent to this chemical process, i accept my role in this hair-tastrophy.

ReplyDeleteYeah, Yeah, Yeah...I'm in that club too *dropping my head*. LMBO!! My mom had a momentary lapse of sanity and a major bout of laziness over doing my hair for a couple of years when I was little too. Poor us! SMH. These are the ypes of things they want us to learn from and not take from them. LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone. Take comfort in that fact. That is all.
