There was a smell you never forgot.Sharp.Strong.Unmistakable.The kitchen turned into a beauty parlor.Curlers everywhere.Plastic caps crinkling.Someone fanning the air and saying,“Don’t worry, it’ll be worth it.”You sat still.Eyes watering a little.Scalp tingling.Trusting the process.Hair was serious business back then.It wasn’t about trends.It was about looking put-together.Looking proud.Looking like you cared.Those moments weren’t glamorous.But they were real.Full of laughter, patience, and love.If you remember home perms,you remember a time when beauty happened at the kitchen table…and everyone was involved.
