Braid wet, sleep then take them out . Don't perm your hair it's no good for it

I used to get perms all the time they did last along time. I think it looks better if you put layers in your hair as well.

I have the perfect idea for u.... Go to bed with perm rods in and either dry it or go o bed and when they are dry take them out.... That's how a perm will look on u. If I don't like than atleast u can wash ur hair and go.

Also check YouTube. There is a girl on there who did spiral perm with tubes instead of Rods and her hair looks too good!

I agree with @lovely. Curly hair is a pain.

I want to say this as respectfully as I can. I have naturally curly hair, it took me more time than I would like to admit to learn what works and what doesn't work for my curls. Are you honestly ready for the trial and error battle with different products? What about the upkeep? Curly hair is a lot different to work with than straight hair. Even the smallest amount of fizz can ruin a wash and go. A perm can be very damaging, just because your family members hair does okay doesn't mean yours will. I tell you what, you can come detangle my butt length hair once and tell me if you ready for that every 10 to 14 days ? I could almost guarantee you will reconsider. Lol

My go to color since I've been 13 is black. It actually looks really good on me. I have blotchy skin and it helps disguise it. Right now it's a grown out black and orange cause I dyed my hair before I got pregnant over a year ago and found out I was pregnant before I went to dye it again and haven't colored it since.

Dampen your hair before bed and put it in a sock bun. You'll have amazing curls.

I wouldn't do it. I have thick, wavy hair also and perms always looked horrible on me. Then when they grow out, they look twice as bad. Definitely don't suggest it. If you want a change, go talk to your stylist and see what they recommend

My mom used to perm my hair when I was young (like8-10). It was nice while it lasted, but as it grew out my hair was frizzy forever. Just now getting healthy hair back as an adult.

Don't take this offensively, please. But I notice you are really white. As am I. In cosmetology school, I decided to go black and it was the worst decision of my teenaged life. My skin, no matter how much I tanned was way too light and I looked sickly. I would go with a dark brown over black, honestly. Black is so harsh, and can make even the prettiest skin tone look pale and awful.

I loved it! It was so easy to style...

Make sure you absolutely want black hair before you go black.

My hair is super fried from going from black back to my natural color.

I had about 3-4 perms growing up. My only complaint is that they stayed in my hair forever. Once you get to the end it's just a frizzy mess unless you get another one, but if you're wanting to go back to your natural hair it's a waiting game. But I feel that I could handle how to take care of it much better now than when I was in middle school lol. ?

And I'm not so worried about damage as my family's hair handles perms extremely well and I'll make sure to go to someone that can perm hair properly. I don't trust my hair to just anyone. I'm a new mom looking for an easy way to change up my look so that it's easier to leave the house without doing as much work.

I loved my perm! it was so easy to just throw some gel and hairspray in my hair and be done!

I hated my perm. It was so hard for me to manage, the curls never looked good, and it damaged all of my hair. I wouldn't recommend a perm to anyone.

There are different types of curls you can do. It all depends on the type and size of the perm rods. You can have Annie hair or beach waves that's not even a curl. Also you can't color your hair at the same time it will fry your hair. Perms are harsh and aggressive. So in the weeks leading up to it so lots of treatments. When you do go you can't have clean hair. I think it's don't wash for 2 days then after 2-3 days you can't get it wet.
