Hair - to Perm or Not to Perm - That Is the Question!

I would really have a salon do it. Or if you know someone who works in a salon mabye they could do it for cheaper at home. When you are putting chemicals like that on your head you don't want to play around. Its kinda like dark brown hair going blonde. You don't wanna do that at home or you end up with flaming orange hair!!! If you really want it done, I would have it done professionally!!

Have a blessed day!!

I agree with the advice to go to the salon. I have been having the same delema with my hair. It is getting longer and lately I have been using hot rollers. They seem to be doing the trick and giving me more body. But if yours is even longer than mine, I can see how you would want a perm.

If you go to a good salon, they can show you if layers might help, along with the perm. And you will end up with an awesome hair do!

please take the advice of the sisters! Go to a salon pleeeease! It is not as if you drop bills in a salon often, so splurge a little!
JUST SAY NO TO HAIR-TASTROPHIES!

I once asked my stylist about a body wave perm. He cringed! oh my...

You might need to put some layers in your hair before trying to perm. I have thick hair and it gets incredibly weighed down when it hit mid-back and all one length. So... the perm might not help if the hair itself is not styled well as a foundation to the curls.

And I get really frustrated with the amount of time my hair demands too.... I would love one of those quick 5 minute do's, But my hair has different ideas... it has some waves that inevitably don't curl the way I want it to. So, I ended up asking my hair dresser to cut & style it in a way that could accommodate natural drying if necessary.

Also, I decide to embrace straight instead of curly. I spent the money on the Chi straightener. Works so much faster than cheaper brands. And unlike curling irons that require to hold various sections of your hair for 5-10 seconds each, the straighteners work as quick as it take to pull it down the hair. 1-2 seconds. Something for you to consider...

suck it up n spend the money to have a salon do it, maybe get a body wave instead. It just adds some volume. I would advice against this since you will have to spend more time styling it to control frizz, on the other hand I have curly hair n wash it n mousse it n then it's good for a few days. Good luck
