Question Posted Thursday November 25 2010, 3:21 pm
my hair is shoulder length (i'm trying to grow it out) but i really want to achieve the wavy look :) i've tried so many things but i just cant get that natural look.
i've tried scrunching with gel, using a diffuser, using curling irons, 3 barrel waver, straightener with curved edges.. but they still dont give me the look i want and crave.
when i use gel, my hair just gets sticky and crunchy and doesnt scrunch or wave at all. when i use a diffuser, it makes my hair look like a ball of mess, instead of waves. if i use curling irons, my hair is too short for that and it only makes like 1 huge wave instead of several waves, if i use a 3 barrel waver and straightener with curved edges, it makes my hair look "bumpy" instead of wavy. here's a pic of what it looks like if i used barrel waver or straightener.

my friend suggested getting a perm? is that a possibility? i heard they only last for about 2 months. or will it just make my life hell? note, i do not want curls. i want the wavy look, or maybe even a relaxed curl type look. everytime i use a curler, it makes my curls way too tight and spiraly, i want it to be more relaxed and wavy.
please help :)

Perming your hair does not really last only 2 months (depending which hair salon you go to...) It COULD last up to one year :) I got a straight perm and it lasted me a year.
Maybe, I'm not sure if you were looking for this kind of wave or curl BUT you could try: (JUST a suggestion) BUT After showering, french or fish tail braid your hair, sleep and in the morning or so take the braid off and you will have a more wavy hair :) That's what I always used to do when I had long hair!
Hope I helped! :D
