| I am a male with really fine hair. I have a full head of hair but it is very fine. I have considered a perm,yes I know that sounds weird, or perhaps an enhancer for volume. What can i do for more body? |

I had a friend who used Wash-n-Curl once. . . as in, she used it one time. . . Apparently it made her hair stiff, which she didn't like, so she never used it again. But I guess that's how it keeps the curls in? Apparently you have to shampoo with that stuff, and then curl your hair with rollers or something, to get it to work. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

A guy getting a perm is nothing weird. That's how I got my afro. What people think shouldn't be an issue because it's your hair. I have thin hair but I have tons of it on my head, and it forms curls pretty well. I would suggest a perm, because you just have to style it and you are out the door. Curling it with an iron takes too long, especially once it grows. |

If you do a perm remember that you have to keep perming to keep your curls looking their best. That flat grow out at the top of the head is a dead give away that you have a perm. Perming too often can really fry hair too. I don't really recommend perms in general for fine hair. A really good, really short cut and gel work for my son and he has fine hair. ------------- "It is better to look marvelous than to feel marvelous" Billy Crystal |
