Hair won’t hold any curl/wave

[Waveless]

I have a short, asymmetric bob at the moment. My hair is naturally very straight. I’ve tried curling it myself many times and it drops within the hour.
had it done at the hairdressers today thinking it was clearly my amateur attempts that were failing me.
nope! My hair, an hour later, is flat and lifeless.
any tips on products, tools I can use?

Perm

I did consider this, but I had a perm in my food and looked a bugger!

Have it in your hair not your food.

😂😂 it was supposed to say ‘yoof’. That’ll teach me to try and be clever!

The things that suck your hair in to curl work on my hair which is exactly as you describe. I’ve got a Curl Secret by Babyliss.

I thought it was a typo for 'foof'

Would it be too disappointing to embrace your natural hair and style it the way it naturally goes?

Imagine!! 70s bush ahoy 😂

It’s been straight for 43 years. I’d like to change it up once in a while

Oo ok. I’ll have a google. Thanks

@dudsville , my thought too. I wear mine naturally and don't fear humidity.
A friend has poker straight SE Asian hair and she has it permed into loose waves.

I have the same problem. I've never been able to get much volume in my hair.

Have you tried using curlers that suck up your hair the day after you’ve washed it? Then put your head upside down, hair spraying it, after this play around with the curls/waves to get them how you want.
If this doesn’t work for you it may for other readers. I have super soft hair that didn’t use to hold curls, now I get curls that last for two days.

Can someone tell me more about these perms that put volume/wave into your hair? I only remember 80s perms!

I have this type of hair.

I've had a balayage and my hair hold a curl as it's now bleached and a bit coarse. It's high maintenance though as you have to take care of it to look healthy and expensive
