Hello all. I am new to this web site. I have been reading the posts for a few days but forgive me if I ask a question that may have already been asked.
On thursday (8/19) I am going to get a perm. It is actually my second attempt... the other time, i cancelled my appointment bc i was nervous.
The Brief History: I am 21 years old. I have straight brown hair. The length is about 3.5 - 4.5 inches below my shoulders.
I was nervous (and still am a little) for a few reasons. Obviously, it is a big change for me. But moreover i am afraid that the perm will take away the length of my hair. I have this fear that after the perm i will have Annie hair. I realize that this is irrational, seeing as how the lady that is doing my hair knows that I dont want tight curls. She actually told me that she will give me the biggest rods she has. Lately I would use hot rollers when I go out, just to get an idea of what itd be like. I really really like the look the hot rollers give me, however, i think a loose perm would be exactly the look i would like to acheive
While I was reading different posts on this site, i read how to style a perm by pointing the diffuser downward - that was a really good tip. (FYI) :-)
Are there any other tips that may be useful for me?
After my perm, if i want to go straight for a night, what is the best way? An air bush/ blowdryer, or a flat iron?
Sorry for the long post. I'm just really nervous/excited.
