1957 Tonette perm
I don’t think it would occur to me to give a small girl a home permanent.

    Unfortunately, I lived through many of these, albeit in the eighties. Probably 4th or 5th grade for my first. Total Argh.

    I remember having to sit still when my hair was wet so my mom could braid it. That was torture enough. This would’ve turned me into a gibbering idiot.

    Uhm.. wait. Nevermind!

    Yup – I sat through many a home perm as a kid. I’m betting the first was in 2nd or 3rd grade.

    In the ethnic section of WalMarts, there’s a ton of hair relaxer for kids, called “Just For Me!” The girls on the boxes don’t look over 12.

    I have pictures of my mother giving me my first perm when I was three years old. She did it again, complete with shag haircut, when I was in third grade. I felt like I lived with curlers in my hair when I was little.

    Tonette

    My mom gave me these. I swore when I grew up I would never get anorher perm. I spent my childhood coveted in frizz. Don’t think it helped my brain much either.

    baby perms I had ’em

    My mom said she gave me one of these when I was really little. I wasn’t even walking. The irony? I have the curliest hair a white person can have. And I haven’t been a year old in 47 years.
