perm

Like so many other women out there I have fine (but not thin) hair. I used to perm regularly, but haven't now for a couple of years as the "80s big hair" went out of style. However, now I am contemplating getting a very loose perm just so my hair will hold some curl. Is this a totally bad idea (out of style) or is it true that perms are starting to come back.
