Help! Too curly perm

I was hoping to get some advice. Two days ago Igot a perm from a trusted hair stylist to try tocontrol my moderately curly/frizzy hair. The permwas supposedly one of the more gentle (Goldwell - Idon't know which one) and so my hair doesn'tfeel very damaged, but when I wet it, putmousse in it, and let it dry, I was left with ahead of tight, pencil-width curls. She used largeperm rods, BTW. Is there anything I can do to relaxit so I don't have to wear it in a ponytail forthe next year, or worse, have it all cut off?Thank you for any help!!!!
