I got up this morning and there is where it all started to go wrong. I was determined to cut my hair and put in a perm, which I usually do with no adverse result. Today, I enlisted Ted's help and against my instructions he used up all of the neutralizer, not leaving any for the second process.
After two hours of misery and labor, I am back to square one. No curls. Damn it was hard work. All I asked him to do was saturate my curls with the lotion and the neutralizer. You should have heard the bitching and moaning about the smell.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
