For the past 20 years of my life, I have been spotting the same straight and rebonded hair. The only difference is the lenght; either short above the shoulder or long way past the shoulder.
When I reached my 3x birthday, I decided a change is needed. It was either a short bob that ends at the neck area or big wave curls. And the latter is the choice.
The last perm I did was when I was 12 years old (I think!). I cried through the whole process. The perm made me look like an auntie. Everyone laugh at me when I went back to school with the “pong pong” head. I washed my hair everyday, hoping it will miraclously become straight the next day. It never happened until I went to cut it one month later.
20 years later, with advanced technology, my head no longer become “pong pong” liao. I did a digital perm at the lower half and touch-up my rebonded hair at the crown. I love my curls. The man loves love it too. He said now I look like my age and more 女人味。
In the past, when I had my straight rebonded hair, hawkers uncle/aunties would still call me 小妹, especially if I have my glasses on and wearing home clothes. Lucky so far, no one has called me auntie ………. yet! 
I have not always been adventrous when it comes to my hair style. It took me 20 years to have the courage to change my look. The next step is to have the courage to colour the whole head. I have done streaks of highlights before but never colour the whole head. I hope it won’t take me another 20 years to do that. 
Guess with the increasing number of white hair showing up, it will be soon to change my hair colour.
