This is more info about the texture perm. I read about it in DailyCandy. Miss Loosy, you'll have to call them! Not sure if you'll get turned down. Good luck! My first appointment is in a few weeks. I'll let you know how it turns out.



There were moments during adolescence in which you felt like you were plummeting from the ugly tree — and hitting every branch on the way down. Braces (ow). Baby fat (oof). That poodle-perm (yeesh).


So you’ll be understandably skeptical of the digital perm, a hot new Japanese treatment at the U-District’s Ten Pachi salon. That is, until you see the totally grown-up curls it creates.

The digital perm uses chemicals similar to those used in Japanese straightening treatments to give you big, bouncy waves. Hair is wrapped around large, electric rods which are connected to a Weird Science-like machine via cables then heated.

The end result is gorgeous, shiny, hot roller-like waves that are bound to turn a few heads.

Brace yourself.


Ten Pachi Modern Salon + Store, 5611 University Way Northeast (206-985-1010 or tenpachi.com).




PS: Miss D - I totally don't have stick straight hair - I have this weird frizzy, wavy thing going on! My mum often wonders if I'm really Asian.

I finally took a picture of the dress I got from Forever 21. Obviously, my photography skills are a bit lacking, but you get the idea.

The skirt is a little bit greener than in the photo and I just love the contrast with the grey. The dress also has slit pockets too.

I need to wear it! Damn this rainy weather! I have so much warm weather clothes but I still can't wear it. GARRRRRRR.
