Hi :)
My hair is naturally straight, it's not fine nor too thick, and is absolutely lifeless. It is a heavy hair, that doesn't have any volume what so ever and is even difficult for my hair to hold http://img.timeinc.net/instyle/images/v2/products/december/111105_goody_03c.jpg - this kind of hair clips, they just slip on my hair. I've become tired of my hair, and I have decided I'm perming it next Thursday, and try to achieve something to http://hairstyles.hairboutique.com/details.asp?ID=8573 - this effect. Is it possible or is this mainly done by styling? I'm not one to spend time styling my hair at all.
Another thing is, I have no idea what kind of care I should have with my hair after I perm it. My hair is healthy, I have a split end here and there, but nothing major (besides, I haven't cut my hair in 6 months). I'm using a supermarket shampoo brand (I know I should look into better products, but they are too pricey), Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner for regular hair (although I may switch to their dyed/permed/damaged hair line if it's worth it) and I was thinking of maybe buying a good mask for permed hair and use it once a week. I don't think I'd need more than that, because my hair never sees heat. Honestly, the only time it is blow dryed is when I go to the salon, which only happens every 5 months. Also, after I wash it, should I use mousse or hair spray, or something along those lines, for the curls to hold on better, or it won't be needed?
I would try to post a picture of my hair for you to have a better idea, but I'm not at home and will only get there Wednesday. I'll try to take a good picture meanwhile so you can have a better idea.
Thanks in advance for trying to help me out :)
PS - this is a copy of another post under the curly hair section, but I ask the mods not to move this, because the day I'm perming my hair ir approaching and I haven't had any input so far.
