Life in China 2016: A Picture A Day, July 12 – We are spending a few days in Shenzhen, went to get haircuts and I decided to take a quick picture of this hair perm machine they use (sorry if it's blurry). They are popular in Asian countries, and although they look similar to old fashioned perm machines, supposedly these use a modern technology from Japan. They are called digital perm machines because the temperatures of the rods are monitored on a digital readout. Supposedly, the wave and curl are different than the kind of perms we get in the USA, not sure about other countries!
