Do people have perms anymore ?

At the mo my hair is straight and just past my shoulders....very boring.

I used to have it permed when i was a teenager and although i put far too much mousse etc in it, i always liked it.

I think i want it curly again, but softer more natural curls. I've tried rolls and curling tongs but the curls fall out to quickly.

So perm or not ???

Yeah people do, but not the old curly ones- in fact, very much the softer ones you're looking for. That sort of curl is (apparently!) very 'in' now, you should be able to get a choice.

Hmm what do i ask for though ?? A soft curly perm ??

Yes, that should be OK, perhaps tell them a celeb with something like you would like, or take in a photo?

Oooh good idea, thanks.

I had one just before Xmas and came out looking like bob marley
Couldnt control it all all and looked mad for a couple of months
I now have straight roots but as I always have my hair up you cant really tell. Easily brushed straight now too, but can be curly if I want it to be.

Hmmmmm maybe i should try different curlers or something first.

Are home perms still crap ???

I think so, someone I know did her dds and nothing happened..lol total waste of time!

that 19year old on x factor had the most hideous perm. i wanted someone to take her away and give her a make over and see if nasty bastard judges would be kinder to her

yes, go for it, I'm sick of seeing all the straghtener-addicted girls around. Curls are in!
