My Afro
I’ll be honest, I never cared for that hairdo. I first started getting perms because I needed to save money
on haircuts, but having such big hair could get in the way sometimes. But, after we started selling our own
merchandise, I had to keep it. It became a part of my image. A neat little fact about perms is that the name
is short for ‘permanent wave’, and getting a perm is quite the effort. You can use heat or chemicals to
apply your perm. It’s really the same as straightening your hair, but you have to wrap your hair up nice
and tight. It was quite the pain to re-curl every couple of months, but people liked it so at least it made
them happy.
