Curly hair is about the only thing that could induce me to sell my soul to the devil. Any type of curly, frizzy, fluffy is okay with me. I just have predictable flat hair. I come from a race of flat-haired women. Seriously, I have NEVER seen a relative with volume that was not induced by mechanical or chemical means, accompanied I am sure by lots of stress.

Well, t...Janie,<br />Agreed on the black metal curlers!<br /><br />Well, there you go. I could never afford professional hair coloring. You are so important about timing. I would have my hair permed at by the beautician and then have her cut it two weeks later to get rid of the ends. Then, the curl could soften at the inevitably frizzy ends that I got. Of course, I have a better beautician now, so she might be able to work miracles and let me have color and perm, something I cannot afford at all now.

I will have to look for the ones you have.<br /><br />Your hair is beautiful. I often just look at it, wishing I had curls. Gee, I would settle for frizz rather than flat limpness.<br /><br />No 3 is interesting information. I have never heard of this method of hair care. My hair is definitely not dry, but this is interesting information. Yes, thanks for the answer. My hair is straight, thick, oily, and very fine. It is getting thinner by the day.<br /><br />May I borrow your curls for a day?!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-29630356344254664322013-08-19T13:23:13.485-05:002013-08-19T13:23:13.485-05:00I forgot to say that Sam will perm my hair and the...I forgot to say that Sam will perm my hair and then a few weeks later she'll color it.

I don't use rollers or curling irons because I have naturally curly hair. It is very fine, so fine that the wind is all it takes to break the curl and I end up with frizz! lol<br /><br />3. My hair is very dry. That often goes along with curly hair types. I wash with conditioner every day of the week except one. On that day I use shampoo made specifically for my hair type. I use a leave in cream to help keep the curls from breaking and turning into frizz. :-) <br /><br />I don't know if any of this is helpful for straight hair types though. Just thought I would answer your questions today. :-DSue Frelickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150735651127251014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-69248021944895459422013-08-19T12:27:44.111-05:002013-08-19T12:27:44.111-05:00Wendy,

Man how I hated them. My fine, limp and lifeless hair never held a curl for more than an hour anyway, so I really didn't see the point.<br /><br />Granny had nippers and I inherited them with her sewing kit. I never got the hang of using them though, and they're long gone now.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-16299314259876277242013-08-18T23:27:16.421-05:002013-08-18T23:27:16.421-05:00Janie,

They were more comfortable than the metal coiled ones with a wire brush inside. I cannot have permanents in my fine hair unless I quit coloring it. Cindy cuts my hair once each month and I have a haircut that only needs washing to look decent--no styling. However, a little more fluff and curl is my aim. Pink and blue--how interesting.

I don't sew so I don't know about nippers. I slept with my head covered in those pink foam curlers every single night when I was in high school. I don't know how I stood it, but I had to do something with my fine thin hair. Now I put my hair in Sam's talented hands. She makes it stand up and perform all sorts of cool tricks. I get a perm two or three times a year. At the moment, my hair is pink and blue. I love being the crazy old lady with pink and blue hair.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.com
