perm


Question Posted Thursday June 22 2006, 4:29 pm

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!

I got my first perm awhile ago, I was 11 & now I'm 13, & I liked it a lot. When one would start to wear out, I'd get another. Now, the last perm I had is starting to wear out, but it's still wavy & I don't like it. (I got sick of having a perm after awhile) But yes you can straighten a perm. You can buy kits at Wal-Mart that do the exact opposite of a perm (straighten) & you can do at home in about a half hour- 45 minutes or so. Also, just to warn you, when you have a perm, you have to do a lot of extra things with it getting it ready. So be prepared.

If you are scared about how it will look, then start off by getting the style you want in a semi-perm. 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.

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 :]]

Before you get your prem consider that it takes even longer to straighten curly hair. i have curly hair and it takes up to 2 nad 1/2 hours to straighten every day plus when you get out of the pool it doesnt look as good as it would if you have straight hair.

I would be careful, I've seen some really terrifying things happen to hair after perms. 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.
