Permed Out (Bad Hair Day)

Zenovia B.
Have you and your girlfriends ever tried doing your own hair instead of going to a real beautician. A girlfriend and I did our own hair when we were teenagers and both of our hair fell out. We had to walk around for months with scarves on. I would like to introduce to you: Permed Out

Lisa and I gave each other home perms.
We ignored the directions, and the fact that it would burn.

We let it stay in, for almost an hour.
The straighter it would get, we felt would give us power.

The boys like the girls, with straight hair.
We wanted to look good, so the boys would stare.

I rinsed her hair out, and then she did mine.
Not once did we think, about the results we would find.

Out came her hair, in the sink in bunches.
Next was mine, there would be no wearing crunches.

We had patches of hair, all over our head.
Whenever we went out, we would go in dread.

Scarves and crotchet hats became part of our attire.
To be creative with this, you had to be inspired

Our hair now has grown back, we still do at home perms.
We however read directions, and remove it before it burns.
