I have made the decision to get a very mild perm after 8 years

I did that once. Backfired badly.

@beebaby what happen because i dye my hair all thw time my hair is purple now

You permed it on top of color? I thought you weren't allowed to do that.

I permed after being natural and my hair fell out in some spots

@beebaby no i colored in back in feb then rinse it back for a job but it washed out and now i want to perm it

I don't know nothing about hair but I remember my cousin colored her hair red and she permed it later on and it fell out. She is edge less right now
