I would imagine your perm was bigger than mine, I never braved the curly perm,, mine just gave hair more volume all very Spandau ballet.
One occasion it was over processed as went to back of salon for a coffee and a ciggie or 2 went a bit frizzy..

Passing my car test & my first wheels - Hillman Hunter GLS with a Holbey engine and twin, twin choke webber carbs....roar, what a great big wolf in sheeps clothing...I needed a cushion to see over the steering wheel. Triumph GT6....burble, burble, burble, 2 litre Ford capri (co-ordinated very nicely with the poodle perm).
No speed cameras on the M6, no traffic on the M6....ooh the fun I had Big smile

Acid parties . Magic mushroom parties , speed parties. Racing to catch the ferry to France , stoned off my cross , 60mph feeling like 60 thousand mph.
Pretty much the same as the 70's but a different wife on the back.
The 90's was like that too, different wife again.

By the nought's I'd realised that I couldn't keep getting married and divorced every decade.

I thought about my past , looking for a clue as to what I could have done differently to save all the heartache.
Like a ''bolt from the blue'' I had an epiphany, It was so obvious , so simple.
"you can't get divorced if you don't get married''
BRILLIANT
Party on dude
