Hair Perming

[izzbell]

I've been wanting my hair permed for a little while now - but not the gigantic poodle-hair-dryer-explosion type; would it be possible/recommended to try an at-home kit or would it be more sensible to go to a hairdresser?

If you do think its possible to get a decent at-home job do you have any tips?

you can get good home perms (not that I need one) but you will still need someone knowledgeable to do it, its so damaging to your hair

I'd go for a hairdresser everytime as if a home job goes wrong it could cost more to fix that it would have going to them in the first place.

I speak from experience in a hair dying incident :)

its best to go to a salon if you dont know what your doing ask for a wella perm this will give you nice soft curls that look natural that isnt damaging to your hair

shave your head bald, cut off your pubes, stick pubes to your head.

problem solved

well, unfortuantely I wax everything off, plus they're pretty damn straight when grown so no minge jungle for me, unlike you, obviously.

Ty for the answers, going off to salon once I can afford it

To perm your hair you have to use 'pegs' (plastic rollers). Because of the size of the pegs when you roll them into your hair and apply the perm lotions they kink the hair ends.....this is how the frizz is caused.

In a salon the stylist cuts out the kinks at the finish of the perm......the salon will use professional perm products so its worth having it done in a salon.
