Reba’s natural curls didn’t mix with a perm
Back in the ’80s, perms were all the rage. But unfortunately, Reba McEntire learned that natural curls and a perm don’t always mix. She told Glamour, “In the early ’80s I got a perm. I have natural curly hair. And so when my hair would be a little past my shoulders with a perm, it was just super tight because if you add a perm to natural curly hair, it looks angry. And it did.” Still, while a perm may not have worked for McEntire, there’s more to the style than meets the eye.
Trying out the then-trending perm isn’t the only hair regret the superstar has. On “The Drew Barrymore Show,” McEntire admitted she was no fan of the over-the-top mane she sported on the cover of her “Sweet Sixteen” album from 1989. “Look at that hair,” the singer quipped after seeing the oh-so ’80s cover photo. “Girl, I’m telling you what, I don’t know what I was thinking,” she said.
But there’s one look we have a feeling McEntire would be more open to trying again: her super short ’90s cut. “It was freedom. I loved it. It was in ’96 or ’97 when I cut my hair off, and it was freeing,” she told Glamour. And just like the many other fun and funky hairdos McEntire has tried, so did we.
