so im considering getting a perm. my hair is naturally straight and its not thin but not thick either its sorta in between. i dont want like really tight curls i want loose ones that are sort of wavy. the reason im considering it is because it takes a long time to curl my hair. i go to a salon to get my hair cut so i know it wont turn out bad but what do yall think? do you think its too drastic? im worried it will turn out bad and i want to know if you can straighten your hair after you get a perm. thanks!

This kind of perm washes out after so many washes, usually lasting a few weeks. Then if you decide that you like it, you can get it redone in a permanent perm.

WHYDOISTILLLOVEYOU_OX answered Thursday June 22 2006, 7:01 pm: my hair is the same exact way. Im considering a perm. If it turns out HORRIBLE then you can just get it wet after you get a perm. But just make sure you let your hair dresser know that you want loose curls. and it should turn out okayy. Let me know how it works out, good luck &&' i hope i helped :]] [ WHYDOISTILLLOVEYOU_OX's advice column | Ask WHYDOISTILLLOVEYOU_OX A Question ]

Sometimes, a person's hair will look very nice while they have the perm, but as it starts to straighten out (as it does over time) it starts to frizz out instead of being straight. I believe it's the chemicals that really damage your hair from the perm. If you really want to though, I would ask your hair dresser the next time you go for just a hair cut and see if they think you have the right hair type and such for a perm. If they tell you it will look bad - it probably will.
