Apparently these days you can have your hair permed and not look like a poodle, however I've yet to see evidence.

This is me, my hair is wavy, but I want proper defined curls.

A perm?

How long is your hair?

Report
HoneyDragon · 21/01/2014 15:03

Just above my bra strap, longer if straightened.

Oh oh I would love to have my hair permed but it's too processed already!

I let my ex SIL do it once and she fish hooked the rollers . It was fuckng awful . I was hysterically crying laughing / crying looking at it in the mirror as it was beyond fucked up. Had to spend £140 fixing it!

Bitch!

Oohh - very jealous. A question though. What will happen to your fringe - will it be permed, stay straight or something else? I have a fringe but don't see how it would work with a perm.

Do you still have a fringe ?

I worry about curly fringes tbh

Will you post another pic after you've had it done HoneyDragon?

I'm thinking about getting a perm too but am worried about the possible Kevin Keegan outcome, and aftercare too.

and am a bit excited to see a pic of a poster whose name I recognise

I'm SO jealous. I have wanted a perm for years but I am too scared. I have long, straight, quite fine hair that gets greasy quickly. I suspect I am probably the worst candidate for a perm...please post a pic when it's done!

I had a perm like you want, but it was the so-called digital perm, bloody expensive and unfortunately didn't last long. Was lovely while it did, though.

HoneyDragon · 21/01/2014 15:50

I will post a pic when it's done, even if it's awful Grin

Fringe is longer now, so should be fine.

Hairdresser thinks with my hair I should get a year out of it if I'm lucky Smile
