Date Posted: January 12 2000 at 4:13am I have chin length naturally wavy hair. I had chemically relaxed it for a few months but the relaxer made my hair feel so yucky I stopped(This was over six months ago). Now I would like curlier hair but can't seem to get curly hair with styling products and I really don't want to use a curling iron all the time. But I am worried about the further damage a perm would do to the straightened hair. Probably about four inches of my hair is relaxed. Any ideas?If I perm it I have a friend who was a cosmetologist. She said she could me a discount on a perm kit from a beauty supply store and help me roll it. I don't know what her qualifications are but I didn't think this sounded like a very good idea. What do you think?Kim Replies:
