Wavy perm??

[aniawl]

I lived through enough of the 80s to remember the poodle perms. But. Hear me out.
I have mega straight, lanky, thin hair. My daily routine is to use various blowy hair curlers to give it some body and shape. I like it best when it's wavy and it tends to make my short bob look good as opposed to looking like a sad drowned mouse. Whatever I do to my hair tends to disappear withing an hour or so unless I apply lots of product and it's even worse if it senses some humidity in the air. I am fed up with it and want something a bit more durable that will give it some shape and volume.
Is there such a thing as a modern perm that wouldn't produce a tight spring like perm but more of a wavy outcome? Or am I dreaming of something that doesnt even exist?

Oh good god how did this end up in Sex?! Posted from my phone but was pretty certain it was to go in style and beauty.
Wow.
Oops.

We're moving this thread out of the Sex topic and into Style & Beauty now we can see that you're talking about the hair on your head

Thank you!

I asked my hairdresser the same thing, as I'd heard there was such a thing as a demi-wave which wouldn't be poodle-y... but she said this wouldn't work on my long hair as it would just drop out, and recommended changing colour instead. I have regular highlights now and it has added a bit of volume to my hair (as well as making it look more interesting.)

Still quite fancy a perm though.

Interesting what you say about colour - I might try that too.
Off to Google demi perm...

There is such a thing as a "digital perm", it's supposed to be the most modern version, more of a wave than a corkscrew:
