perm + flat iron = LOTS of damage...

So it's a matter of personal preference, and whether you're willing to sacrifice a little bit to have curly hair. Have you tried all alternatives yet? Rag rollers, sock curling, curling tongs, everything else?

once you get a perm you have to let it grow out. if you straighten permed hair you will ruin your hair for good.

A friend of mine had extremely straight hair that couldn’t hold a curl. She got a perm but after a while she got tired of it and it took a very very long time to grow out. So if you do get a perm you may have to be prepared to wait a while for it to grow out.
