Im over curling my hair! Im contemplating having it permed . I asked my hairdresser about it a while ago and she thought i was nuts. She said nobody perms their hair anymore, except for the nana's! She said it damages the hair too much and it's easier to just curl it yourself. But i dont have the time (or patience!) anymore!
So ladies, what do you think? To perm or not to perm?
I just googled perms and you can get LOTS of different types these days! You can get whatever size and type curl you like. Now im getting excited! Me thinks im gonna get my hair permed!
i eventually found a hairdresser who didnt look at me like i was a mega dag, and she did a lovely messy perm look. she combined mixed sz rollers and didnt do the whole head. it looked fantastic but i couldnt afford to keep going to her, and other hairdresseers just dont understand what i want. so i had great curls for 1 yr! and it was easier than doing it myself (which never happens - i cant find time to get the tongs out and i dont have rollers). I have moved now and live too far away to go back to that HD anyway now
I think it helps if you refer to it as a 'bodywave' rather than perm, it sounds more up to date iykwim
Yes!!! I got my first ever perm a few mnths before I fell prenant and it was awesome! It was only $70 and that included a wash and cut so I thought that was good!
Yep you can choose how big or how tight you want the curls. They can help you suggest which one is best for you hair depending on thickness, weight etc.
I loved it. I really did. But now I have cut most of it out as I hate having long hair and being pregnant. I can't wait to do it again!
Hi,I say go for it Tobyturtle! There`s nothing like a change!
My Dh has been waiting for me to get my hair permed since xmas,lol,but it`s just finding the time to get it done.I usually go for a tight Spiral perm,When i have some spare cash,i?m deffinately want a change.
TT maybe the hairdresser didn't want to admit she is shocking at perms ... as she maybe out of touch in doing them in a more youngish modern style
My SIL is a hairdresser (TAFE trained) ... and she holds her scissors in the way i was told by my trainer not to NEVER EVER do (my trainer in Toorak who did major shows in Japan pretty much knew what she was talking about) ... and the manner my SIL cuts hair is unheard of ... So, my point is not ALL hairdressers are that great at their job
I have naturally curly hair and years ago i use to get me fringe permed as it wasn't as curly as the rest ... my hairdresser at the time thought it was the funniest thing to do .. but admitted it did look better
SALSA ... that sounded like an awesome hairdo ... reckon you are right in asking for a ' Bodywave ' instead of a perm
TT gets some curls going their girl (some body there) ... i love the messy curly look ... Hope you get what you are after (Maybe take a photo in so the hairdreser can get an idea and tell you if it's do-able and suitable for you) !!!
