I got my first perm at 13, and every six weeks for about a dozen years after, I religiously went for touch-ups. Ouch!

The 35 trash bags and dozens of boxes sat in Johnson's home for six years, untouched. No matter how hard she tried, Johnson couldn't stand to throw out the possessions or donate them to charity.
