One of the first things I remember was when I was 4 years old my mom was ill for a few weeks and I had this long wavy blond hair that was very fine and it became so tangled that my dad couldn't manage it so off to the barber shop we went and when we returned home I had a Buster Brown haircut. My mom was sooooooo upset! My dad's mom tried to help by treating me to what they called a "machineless wave" where I was connected to all these curlers that dangled from a wheel looking apparatus. My curls never returned and my dad paid a heavy price for months because of his Buster Brown haircut decision for me.
