Taking risks

So I get my hair cut about once every year, because it is simply what I can afford. It is always embarrassing going into the salon that one time and telling the stylist "yes I know, my hair is in terrible shape and there are lots of split ends". And when this year's trip rolled around I decided to go big. I realized that I hadn't paid for a hair cut in 3 years. Last year was free because of a Locks of Love donation, and the year before was a free home-owners promotion courtesy of King.
So this year, I colored my hair for the first time, an then the big mistake: a perm. I know, I know, you are screaming at the screen "What was she thinking?" Well, I have to say that I was misled to think that I could have Carrie's luscious locks with a little chemical perm. Boy was I wrong. Oh, but the good thing is that I got a refund on the money I spent on the perm since it was obviously not what I wanted. So the damage (at least pocketbook damage) isn't that bad.
