Perma?
Today upon leaving for lunch a group of students asked me if my hair was permed. It's long and foofy now, leading me to resort to desperate measures to control it, but hardly permed. I told them it was my own natural hair upon which they launched into a chorus of "ooh jealous" and so on.
Japan is one of very few countries in which such a question could be posed to a straight male and still be considered reasonable.
