Q & A: Have You Ever Dated Anyone With a Perm?

October 7th, 2020 by Karen 13 Comments

Asking for a friend.

I feel like if we were in the thick of ’80s, the chances of most of us answering “yes” to this question would be extremely high! HAHAHAHA!

By the time I was of dating age, most dudes I knew didn’t have perms (mullets are another story, though), so no, I’ve never dated anyone with a perm.

Hmm… Well, now that I think about it, I can’t say that with 100% certainty because I did go out on a date with a dude with ramen noodle-esque curly hair that looked like Justin Timberlake during the N’Sync era! His hair was coated in very hard-looking gel, and the curls were shiny and ultra sculpted. His entire mane was one solid unit; not one lick of it moved. I spent the entire date wondering if his hair was naturally curly or if it was permed.

Anyway, now I’m thinking about how El Hub with a perm, and it’s cracking me up! Knowing him, though, he’d still find a way to pull it off. LOL!

So how about you? Have you ever dated anyone with a perm? AND, OH MY GOSH…I cannot wait to find out if anyone actually answers “yes” to this!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I DID once date a guy a few times with hair as curly as a poodle. It didn’t last so I never got to find out if it was a perm or not! It was the era when a lot of UK footballers had perms so it may well have been one…

    Never dated anyone with a perm, but I actually had perms. I used to do the soft, curled ones. So I’d end up with something a little more than beachy waves but way short of ramen, kinky curls. But that way when I was in college. A loooooooonnggg time ago! Lol.
    When I met Dear Husband he had slightly longer hair with natural curls. He’s kept it short for the past 27 years, so no curls until the pandemic curtailed his frequent visits to the barber. His hair actually got long enough that I could run my fingers through his curls again. Now that I’m the one cutting his hair, I tell him it’s easier for me to cut longer hair, so I drag out the time between cuts because I love his curls.

    I didn’t date him, but a good friend of mine actually did get a perm! To impress a girl he wanted to date. He was trying to look like whoever was popular then, think it was a N.Y. sports guy. Turned out a bit scraggly in spots, poodle in others lol Unfortunately for him, she did not go for it.

      I have to admire the effort he made… It’s a big thing to go poodle to win someone’s heart. LOL!

    It’s funny because many people had asked us (my mom, my sister and me) if our curls were made through perms, so I find them funny. And no, I haven’t dated anyone with a perm.

    YES and it’s my hubby! For a good portion of our first few years together he would get a straight perm. 😁 Maybe itvs not a perm to curl, but I think it counts: it drastically changed his appearance!

    I totally laughed at Diana’s note above about the gal “not going for it”. HAHA! I never dated anyone with a perm but I know MANY fellas who had them and at least three friends had perm-dates (and one married him). He looooooves when she brings it up or, OMG, shows a pic of him back in the day with the perm. Good times.

    Long ago and not So faraway 🎶 we gave my husband a reverse perm .
    So what is that you ask ?
    Instead of curly it made your hair straight!
    It didn’t work .
    Try something else if you don’t want
    curls .

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
