Spiral perm?

I happen to like spiral perms. However, you can get the look of a spiral perm by experimenting with large perm rods without the perm solution! Apply styling gel to your freshly washed hair. Wrap it around the rod from tip to root in the vertical position (up and down). Then use a hooded dryer or allow it to air dry. You should get a tight curl that falls in spiral form. The longer your hair, the more effective this technique is. You might also try the Sassy Curler (http://www.adiscountbeauty.com/page375.html). It will give you great spiral waves without the chemicals. If you decide you really like the look, then you can get the perm. Good luck and happy spiraling!

Glad I could be of some help. Perms, when properly done, are very nice but they do use powerful chemicals and it is always a good idea to experiment to see if it is what you want. Once you get a perm, it is too late to change your mind. One more suggestion, check to see if the stylist uses actual spiral rods - some "cheat" and use regular rods and that won`t give you the look you are seeking. Let us know how your experiments go and what you decide. Happy curling!!
