When Son Says He Hates His Curls, Dad Gets A Perm So They Can Match!

A man sits in a salon chair as a woman gives him a perm. There are curlers on his head. His eyes are wide, mouth slightly open, as he holds up his phone to capture the moment

Insecurities can be tough to deal with, especially when you’re a little kid. So, when Steven found out that his son started to not like his naturally curly hair, he felt particularly heartbroken. But rather than trying to find a way to change his son’s hair, Dad decides to do something about his own. Why? Because his son also mentioned wanting his hair to look more like his dad’s.

That was all the info Steven needed to make the decision to get a perm! If you know anything about perms, then you understand what a big deal it is to get this treatment. This isn’t something Steven can wash out after a shower or two. On the contrary, perms can last three to six months. Still, this doesn’t deter Dad from doing what he can to help his son recognize his curls are beautiful!
