The Perm: The Not So Perm-Anent
Stevie Nicks, Cher, Dolly Parton, and Whitney Houston are just some of the many celebrities to rock this ’80s hairstyle. In fact, the hairstyle even got its cameo in Legally Blonde when Reese Witherspoon questioned the witness, played by Linda Cardellini, revealing she lied because you NEVER wash your hair after getting a perm. Anyone who’s ever gotten a perm should know that “the first cardinal rule of perm maintenance is that you’re forbidden to wet your hair for at least 24 hours after getting a perm at the risk of deactivating the ammonium thioglycolate.”
More often than not, this hairstyle looks like a poodle sitting on top of your head, so it’s better off leaving it in the past.
