But that day we decided that a home perm would be a great part of the plan. I need to mention that my mom is not now, nor has she ever been, a hairdresser. But this was important. So she began the evening long task of rolling up my hair onto tiny rods before she added the solution that melted my skin. What didn’t stay curled on the rods, she cut. What didn’t want to lay the correct direction, she cut. When my hair began to frizz and burn, we just accepted that it was meant to be.
