Perm Products

Hi,

I was hoping someone could help with choosing the right perm product for my hair (professional). I would like to walk into the salon and tell them what to use, instead of them picking what they want to use. I have very fine and dry hair. Ever since I had my daughter, it is now also naturally curly when cut in layers, which it used to be poker straight. I got a perm about a year ago, and it lasted about a month and fell out. My hair used to hold a perm until it was all cut out. What perm solution would be good to use that would not burn up my hair, but hold the curl. Opticurl burns my hair, and ISO is the one that only lasted a month. Thanks for any info.
