I kind of like that Conway Twitty look.  Now he needs to dye it jet black.

Wordless is right, he looks the Joe Pesci character in JFK...

Hey, Sharon. Talk about the things that we will do out of love. Thanks, Jim

Hi Sharon!

LOL!! That is way cute!! I wonder if I can get my husband to try out a perm, although it would only work on the bottom half of his head considering the top half is bald!  ^_^

Jeff:  I don't think so, lol!  My dad has been grey as long as I can remember and there will be no changing that now.

Mom:  I agree!

Teral:  This was many years ago, and it still makes me laugh!

Gerry:  He was lucky it was only water, not a real perm.  They were just trying it to see how a perm would look. 

Gloria:  No, he had decided he might want a perm and she used perm curlers and water to show him how it would look.  Needless to say, the real perm did not happen.

Jim:  It was a moment of insanity and we all had a good laugh over it.

Lisa:  My dad's hair went grey very early, but bald has not been a problem.  It sounds like your husband would look like Curley from the three stooges!

Sharon - Was this one of those Toni box perms? I had (and still have) curly hair, so I was never treated tortured with one of those box perms. My sisters were not so lucky!! LOL

Sharon... I once went out with a hairdresser...and she was a bit of a cougar, and told me a Mullet..perm was the way to go, she was sleeping with me so I agreed...luckily I don't believe there is any photo evidence of the short term incident.

The comments were great, I am still sitting here laughing. Jeff, Twitty was the man!

Posted by Diane Williams (RE/MAX Realty Pros) 6 months ago

Wow-LOL  As someone with naturally curly hair I never had to try a perm.  LOL

Posted by Debra Walsh Orange Cty NY Real Estate 845.928.8000 (Keller Williams Realty Goshen, NY - Realtor) 6 months ago

Judy:  No, not a Toni, it was just water to see what a perm would look like.  It was a practice, thank God!

Steve:  Now this is info I wasn't expecting to receive from posting these pictures!  If only there were photos...you really should find one to share with your close friends here on AR.  So, it is true that women can make men do pretty much anything!

Diane:  Good for you!  I'm so glad we made you smile!

Debra:  I've had many a bad perm in my life.  It's not fun and it wasn't usually very attractive, so I am not sure why I kept repeating the mistake!

My brother had one of those, for real.  I'm pretty sure it was better than what he had...wavy, kinky, curly red hair that he wore way too long...and hippie 'fro was "chic" right? =o)  ( The tiny print on the pic says my brothers face has been blurred to protect the innocent, ME!=o)

Sharon, That is way too funny.  Who are these people?

Simply Shocking!

Ha Ha Sharon -- I remember those old perms!  Had a few when I was young ... and one or two when I was old enough to know better!!

Posted by Maureen Bray ~ Home Stager Portland OR ~ Room Solutions Staging ~ Portland Oregon (Staging that Sells Portland Homes) 6 months ago

LOL !!! I love seeing glimpses into the past like this ! So funny how 'trendy' we were with hairdos like that back then huh !!!!

Posted by Sheldon Neal -- That British Agent -- (Bergen County, NJ - RE/MAX Real Estate Limited) 6 months ago

Ann:  And that is why my mother wanted to do a "test" water-only perm first.  Good thing!

Posted by Sharon Tara New Hampshire Home Stager (Sharon Tara Transformations) 6 months ago

Leolinda:  It is my mom and dad, and it was many years ago...the early 80's.

Don:  I love your profile picture!

Maureen:  I've posted pictures of my perms in the past.  They weren't very attractive. 

Sheldon:  "Trendy" is right.  It wasn't about how we looked so much as looking like everyone else.  And now we pay the price with ridiculous photos of our past selves.

Sharon,

I had a perm a long time ago and my hair is still curly from it.  The chemicals used changed the structure of my hair.  At least I do not still look like a poodle!

Ann:  I had terrible hair before the perms and even worse hair after.  I'm very lucky to have a brother who is a hair stylist in Boston who worked miracles for me to bring my hair where it is today.

Hi, Sharon. You said "wordless" but I think "speechless" is more apt! This is hysterical!

My mother used to give me a Tonette home perm the night before school started every year, over my howls of protest, and I always had to go to school on the first day looking like I'd stuck my finger in a live socket and reeking of ammonia. Baaaaaad memories!!!! Those plastic curler things with the little teeth HURT, too!

Posted by Leslie Helm/Real Estate For Trail Riders (Tennessee Recreational Properties) 6 months ago

Leslie:  I feel your pain!  My mother used to get my hair cut into a pixie (very short) and I hated it.  I wanted long hair more than anything!  Seems we have another thing in common...mothers who tortured us via our hair!

Posted by Sharon Tara New Hampshire Home Stager (Sharon Tara Transformations) 6 months ago

Ah, the things we used to do to each other and ourselves.

Funny now, to look back at, but hey, back then it was "cool".

Erby:  It's always funny to look back at old pictures and videos to see how much we have changed.  Perms were the rave then and Dad wanted to be part of it.  Didn't work out for him, though!

Sharon,

I would say you are very lucky!
