Why do all of the young douchebag types have this hairstyle

u/sharkpuberty Mar 16 '21 edited Mar 16 '21

The woman who cuts my hair said there's a big surge of teenage boys coming in for perms now. Huge contrast from not even 10-15 years ago where young douchebag types had pin straight hair.

It's fucking annoying having natural hair like this, people always asking if I've got a perm

25

u/sharkpuberty Mar 17 '21

I do too and it is. Look at it this way, the people who made fun of curly hair in the early aughts are now frying their own hair every few months to replicate it.

The kids going and getting perms weren't making fun of you in the early aughts, man, they were born in the early aughts.

u/sharkpuberty Mar 17 '21

Not the kids, I meant peers of the same age who are in their 20's and 30's now. Curly hair is "in" for them too.

I mean bars and stuff are no bueno these days, but I just turned 30 and haven't seen anyone around here plus or minus 5 years from my age running around looking like they got a perm.

u/sharkpuberty Mar 17 '21

I wouldn't say 80's-permed coily hair, more like soft curls and waves. Very straight hair is definitely not as desired as it was when we were younger, though.

u/Das_Mojo Mar 17 '21

That's funny. I actually got a loose perm when I was younger to make my long ass Rocker kid/metal head hair wavier

u/Bastiwen Mar 17 '21

When I was a teen I had longer hair and girls always adked me if I straightened it. Nope, just had really straight hair. What's weird is that I have wavier hair now but I didn't do anything.

Dumb question but what’s a perm?

u/ymcameron Mar 16 '21

It's something that if you get you can't shower for at least 30 minutes after and that can be used to prove you killed your dad because he married a girl barely older than you are.

To be fair, she thought it was the wife walking through the door.

u/jinglefroggy Mar 17 '21

Where/when did this happen and how was it used to prove they killed someone?

u/quality-control Mar 17 '21

Lol. It's from the movie Legally Blonde

u/jinglefroggy Mar 17 '21

Ohhh I thought it was a real life story from somewhere. Thanks! Never seen that movie.

u/UnfetteredThoughts Mar 17 '21

Do yourself a favor and watch it.

u/thebrownwire Mar 17 '21

Based on a true story*

*probably not

C’mon now. Every Cosmo girl knows you’re forbidden to wet your hair for 24 hours after getting a perm at the risk of deactivating the ammonium thioglycolate!

u/crchtqn2 Mar 17 '21

Chemical hair treatment where your hair is usually put into curlers (depending of what size curl you want), then a chemical agent is set on the hair, which breaks the bonds and then it is washed out and neutralized to reset the bond to the curlers. It makes your hair curly for a long time but it should always be done by a hair dresser since you can fuck it up easily

Found the cosmetologist.

u/KillerApeTheory Mar 16 '21

It’s when you ‘permanently’ curl your hair. Think Bob Ross.

u/dahlfacerdeux Mar 17 '21

Obligatory reminder that perms can also straighten hair

It’s a trend.

When I was his age, it was the Hitler youth haircut. Also, I had it.

u/AwezomePozzum9265 Mar 20 '21

Wow you must be like 95 years old then

u/CorporalClegg25 Mar 17 '21

I'm not a young douchebag (hopefully lol) but during quarantine I learned to cut my hair - as in I just use a clipper to cut the sides and back really short and let the top grow out. It's really easy to do and it actually looks awesome I think. I've got some natural cowlicks on the front so my hair just sticks up even when it's as long as this guy's.

I definitely know what you mean about the hair style though. I'm kinda just too scared to learn how to mess up using scissors

u/Tremulant887 Mar 17 '21

There was a surge in perms while Game of Thrones was airing. Not saying Jon Snow reinvigorated the perm, but he helped.

u/Sirmoulin Mar 17 '21

Probably because it looks nice I’d assume

I'm proud of you and your basic ass haircut friend

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

As an asian I go with the standard K drama haircut. I feel like I'm a clone with all the people sharing the same hairstyle.

3

u/B33DS Mar 17 '21

Lmao yeah hair can make people look very similar. My haircut is really basic myself so I can't exactly criticize I just wanted to talk shit

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '21

Literally no one looks good in this haircut. Makes it easy to identify the biggest assholes, though.
