I figured I`d perm my hair since after bleaching it about a year ago, it no longer had the same curl it used to. What have I done???? Although it`s been only a week, it feels like it`s been a lifetime - I want my hair back!!! I`m seriously at the point where I`m going to pay to have it "undone" or relaxed or whatever and chop it all off so that it won`t fall out. :( Help!

I don`t understand. Did you recently bleach it or is the bleach a year old? And I gather you don`t like the way the perm turned out. Is it too curly, frizzy, did it damage your hair? In short, what did the perm do to your hair that you hate? And do you trust the stylist who did the perm? If it is a bad perm with a bad stylist, I would recommend seeing another one for a consult to see what is the best route to take. If you recently bleached it and then permed it, it could be fried to the point that relaxing would be very harmful. Cutting into a different style, especially if your hair is long enough, could actually change it so that you can enjoy your perm.

I once double permed my hair and had bad breakage, fallout problem. I ended up getting a modified pixie to fix it, but it looked pretty good with all the body the perm gave it and most of the damage was cut away. I was able to grow it back out relatively painfree.
