Why was Bob Ross's hair always permed?

  • It saved money

  • He liked the style

  • Easier to manage

  • For health reasons

Answer

The myth that frequent perming saved money on haircuts is incorrect. He permed his hair to maintain its curly texture. Ross's distinctive Afro grew out of the difficulty he encountered trying to keep his hair straightened while living in Alaska. As a result, Ross turned his frizzy hair into an iconic style.
