Portia de Rossi Is Bringing Back This Forgotten ’80s Hairstyle

Stop everything you’re doing because Portia de Rossi just got a perm. And in case you had prior assumptions about this ’70s and ’80s hair trend, it actually looks really damn good.

In fact, like the foam cleanser, we’ve since come to realise that perms have unfairly received a bad rap over the years. So, just as we’ve successfully shaken the ‘overly drying’ reputation of this once-feared face wash, it’s time to do the same for the perm.

Okay, but how?

Easy! Immediately scrap any thoughts of dense, poodle-like curls (no disrespect to any poodles that may be reading this) and think Julia Roberts in her Pretty Woman era meets a great set of beach waves. A stunning visual, right?

What we know about Portia de Rossi’s perm

While the process looks, um interesting, the final result is gorgeous.

“I am so impressed with Janine Jarman that I had to post the ugliest pic of myself getting a perm just to prove to you what a genius this woman is,” Portia wrote via Instagram.

“It’s vegan, my hair feels healthy, and no more hot tools,” she said of the patent pending formula owned by Janine’s company Curl Cult.

Since receiving the treatment, Portia’s hairstyling routine has halved. Forget lengthy blow dries and the admin of heat styling. “I air dry my hair and always have loose waves, no matter how humid it is outside,” she explained.

We know what you’re thinking. How much is she getting paid to say this?

Apparently zilch. This unsponsored post was purely motivated by the need to “let everyone know that I’m bringing the perm back”.

And with results like that, we’re happy to hear it!

  1. I used to have that look in my teens and it wasn’t by a perm either. A la natural back then. It does look good on Portia but then anything she does looks good on her.
