Hello,
I have long, brown hair. I have always permed it with no problem. However some time ago, I completely trashed my hair (tangled, dry barbie doll hair) by: 1.) Bleaching it. 2.) Bleaching and perming it while I was pregnant.
What I have done to remedy the situation: 1.) Have not permed or bleached my hair for over a year. 2.) Had my hair dyed back to its natural color about ten months ago. 3.) Have been using Aveda deep conditioners (some deposit color) and an Aveda leave-in conditioner for about six months. 4.) Have had my hair trimmed about every six to eight weeks.
Now comes my question and quest for educated advice. I really want to perm my hair. I hate my flat, straight hair. However, I do not want to risk damaging my hair again. I am hesitant to get a perm because: 1.) I am still breastfeeding. So, I assume that my hormones are not quite back to normal. 2.) I still have some of the damaged (bleached and permed) hair. My hair is still long, and I would like to keep it that way if possible.
If you have a lot of knowledge on this subject, I would appreciate your advice.
Thank you in advance for your time, Melisha Thomas
Perming your hair would be a really bad move unless you grow out all of your bleached hair first, but if you really want curls, have you tried rollers?

I beg to differ. Perming is not bad. It may be damaging but with modern technology now, we may reduced or even prevent that damaged. I say, perming and bleaching is very harsh on the hair. If you do want to have it done. Have it done by a professional who has training and experienced in doing these procedures. You might want to wait like a week or two after bleaching before perming. Then you most likely have to do protein treatments for your hair. It will cost a lot, but if you have the cash, you can do it.
oh yeah i forgot since you are a mother now, do you really have the time to do these procedure. i mean it takes you a lot of time to this this style of hair. it takes even more time to take care of an infant
