    Should I get a perm? Advice please.

    kamikat, I do permanent color at home with L'Oreal's Feria and I do my hair slightly darker than its natural color. I've been doing dark copper red brown, but I'm veering more towards medium chestnut. My natural haircolor (from what I remember) is a medium to light golden brown. To make things...

    Should I get a perm? Advice please.

    That's really good to know. I'm still on the fence about getting a perm since I also color my hair, but I set my hair almost every night and I really want to do something to my hair to keep a set, especially when it starts getting hot and humid.

    What draws you to the vintage eras?

    On the one hand, the golden era was NOT very golden when it came to race relations and that bothers me. But on the other, l like the music, the movies, the clothing,the architecture and interior design, and the higher expectations for behavior in public and private. People just looked and...

    Do you see a time when you stop wearing vintage?

    (Longtime lurker, who resolved to start posting) I really can't say, except that it depends on what happens to my figure, the economy and the devolution of fashion. By economy, I mean that as the rich get richer and the middle class gets squeezed out of existence, we may end up with a world...
