Should I get a perm? Please respond!!! Printed From: HairBoutique.com Category: The HairTalk® Archives Forum Name: Hair Talk Archive Forum Description: All the old Hair Talk Messages...

Please respond!!! Date Posted: January 12 2000 at 5:57am I have left messages with other boards and have not gotten a response. I am 24yrs, I have an oval face, with thick brown shoulder-blade length hair. I have never had a perm before. My husband loves my hair when I curl it, but this takes alot of time. I have thinking about getting a perm. However, since I have real thick hair I'm afraid that a perm will make my hair frizzy. I have other friends who look great with permed hair, and they regularly perm their hair without problems. I also have friends who have had perm disasters. I definitely don't want to ruin my hair!! If I get a perm what type of perm should I get? Should I get just a wave, a real curly perm, or a spiral perm? I have several pictures in my mind about what type of perm I should get. However, I still have no idea what would be the best type of perm for my type of hair and face. Replies:
