Lately I've been hearing a lot about perms... And I'm thinking like super spiral ringlets! But I'm wrong! What I hear about is a semi permanent way to make your hair wavy/curly. Is this a real deal and if so what's it called?

It'd just a different type of perm you got to ask the person who does your hair.

My hair is permed. Just talk to a stylist (INCLUDE PICTURES!) of what kind of curl you would like! You can do anything these days! With my hair, we go for a nice, fairly tight curl then by the time it's time to redo I've got a little beachy wave :)

Oh cool! Rachel do you have pictures I'd love to see the tight curls! Also how often do you do it?

This is the best picture I have :( and it sucks haha I'm sorry! It kind of depends, how frequently. I am a hairdresser so one of the main factors is when there is time in the salon :P this last time we went with a larger rod (looser) and it has fallen out more quickly. I believe it was done 2 months ago, and because my hair is colored and highlighted, it'll be a few more weeks. When we did a rod that was quite a bit smaller I think it was about 5 months. Keep in mind, the longer the hair the more weight is pulling on the curl. Whenever I do a perm on anyone with longer or thicker hair, I recommend going a little tighter at first, that way it's not straight in a week.

I'm rambling, sorry hehe

Can perms damage your hair like relaxers? I'm natural but I want curly hair.
