Advice from a curly hair girl😉: wet your hair daily in the shower and run conditioner through it..only shampooing once or twice a week. Keep a wide tooth comb in the shower, comb through your hair while cond is on it. Just use a good curl cream and a diffuser, when your hair is dry flip it upside down and scrunch it a little for volume....after that just let the curls do their magic the rest of the day! 😉😘🙌

She should stop adding products after she washes it.. especially dry shampoo. It breaks the strands.

In hindsight, it doesn't look that bad 😆

After all the Perm videos I have watched - this is the most natural and the best looking perm I have seen so far.

I just got a perm and I love it! I had super straight hair before and was honestly so disappointed with my hair everyday because it would look good unless styled. But now all I do is apply curl cream and scrunch and diffuse and it looks super curllyyyy! I love it.

It looked pretty after the first wash! It’s all about styling technique and using a diffuser that can cup the curls as you dry it.

This isn't about the pros and cons of a perm, this is the consequences of having curly hair lol my daughter has curly hair and everything you listed as a con is her normal.

Ive done a little reading into perms and i want some looser curls (like this woman in the video) I'm just wondering how do you maintain the curls? Im fully aware its not as simple as straight hair where you can just brush it and carry on with your day. How do you dry it correctly without blowing out the curls? If that makes sense. Thanks

I love your perm!!! Nice natural looking waves! So many people associate perms with 80's big hair. I'm Asian, living in the South Carolina for about 8 years. 4 years ago, I decided to start perming my hair once a year, at the beginning of summer. Before I would try to dry straight my hair but after it was dried, it would frizz up after 15-30 minutes. Also, after 10-15 minutes of blow drying, my scalp would start sweating, that's probably why my hair would end up frizzing. I have long hair and I get a perm with the orange rods. The orange rods leave my hair with a nice wave without being overly curly. I like curly hair on others but for me it would not look natural or good. I love the convenience of wash, fluff and go!!! During the winter there is enough perm left, so that when I do blow dry, I still have a little texture from the perm, that adds body to my hair.

Idk if that would’ve helped but there is like a routine of plopping hair. You prep it with curl activating products and some moisturiser and then put it in a towel and leave it on there for 30 minutes before drying. Hope it helps

Its so pretty! I loved it after you washed it also. That is the look that I want on my hair!

I get that it’s more time consuming, but I feel like achieving a similar amount of volume and texture every day would be more time consuming than that, you know?

I have 2a type, and it straightens so easily so I never knew about my real hair texture until recently. I always thought my curly/wavy hair as a child phase ended because of puberty. Turns out nope. Just heat drying and brushing basically straightens it easily. Air drying takes forever I agree!!! And it’s so hard to brush my hair. I still don’t know how to get a perfect routine to truly take care of my hair for once.

Not sure if someone suggested this to you already but maybe doing overnight curls would work for you or even hot rollers. I know their old school but they work. Also, I'm sure one of my curly hair sisters already suggested looking into the curly girl method. The maintenance on curly hair can be a lot of work but once you find your routine and products then it's not so bad. :)

Your perm looks fantastic. I have naturally straight hair and permed it too. I love my perm for the volume and find it easier to maintain and style for work. I never brush my hair and use marshmallow mousse in after the shower with all natural organic shampoo and conditioner. I found the perm last longer after 2nd perm. My perm dropped in 3 months or so after the first time.. Hope you still love your perm 🙂🙂

Having naturally straight hair is easy for everyday styling but hard if you want volume and waves/texture/curls drop a lot. I would suggest getting a diffuser low heat low setting and flip your hair over to achieve for volume. Watching the lady do the perm she should’ve done smaller cleaner sections and put the end papers on the ends of your hair not covering the whole perm rods which stop fish hook ends 🙈 I would suggest next time getting a tighter curl done as your hair is healthy and strong and perms do drop overtime but it’s up to you 🥰 I love it on you and would love to get a perm ❤️

My stylist used 13mm or .5in rods!

(this does not intend for any hate, I am just sharing my opinion here) I mean, I am a person who used to style my hair straight and is actually wavy, when making the transition I did commit myself to using loads of products and taking more time styling. Like I do think people in general think having curly/wavy hair is a piece of cake and when you said that using 4 products was too much for you, I did feel you but I did also think about how little people know about hair texture care in general (I am included, I recently understood it when styling my own hair).

I use a waver for my hair to create those waves or curls like a perm and use the same Paul Mitchell foam, this is a way to create the look without a perm. I really thought about getting a perm but I’ve noticed it’s a lot of work to keep it the way you want it :(

So, idk if you’ve figured this out, as I see this was filmed 7 months ago, but you should follow SOTC method. Put product in your hair when it’s WET, not damp, scrunch your hair with a t shirt or your hands, diffuse it to lock in curl. Once it’s COMPLETELY dry, scrunch again with a t shirt to scrunch out the crunch (SOTC). Don’t run your fingers through your curls, but rather clump the curls to maintain the look you’re wanting. There are certain products approved by the curly girl method, and certain ones that will weigh your curls down. Sleep in silk/satin head wrap or with silk pillow case.
