hi miffy, if i were you, i wouldn't go for a perm. There are so many great products now for curling. A perm doesn't always look great and then you have the hassle of it growing out. Just watch your hair though, straigthening every day is not good for it. Use a good product to protect, you probably do anyway but just thought i'd mention it. why don't you try doing something different instead of just curling, like putting it it up, or half up half down. Theres loads of things you can do with straight hair.
