Alright, so my hair is naturally pin straight and I curl it most times using flexirods. I was thinking of getting a perm, with more loose curls. Would that be weird? Is it really damaging?

If you're going to invest in a perm, be willing to spend money on a really good salon and on really good hair care products. There was about two three girls back when I was in high school and they talked about how their perms where cheap and so good but honestly not to be mean but they looked horrible but I also have a cousin who got one and it looked super pretty but she did spend a good amount of money. So I guess just make sure that it's with someone you trust.

I got my hair permed and it damaged my hair really bad and made it all puffy and was never able to fix it. I'd pass.

Perm is a permanent chemical that damages your hair, no matter how much you pay to get it put it, my suggestion is to stay with the hair you have, it's beautiful

I've gotten two perms in my life. I've had good experiences with it. Mind you, my hair is really healthy and I rarely use heat, products, or anything on my hair because chemicals on your hair are bad for it. So I'd say go for it, if you know your hair is healthy and you'll take care of it because everyone's hair is different.

I think you should go for it! I made an appointment for a body wave today for the first time and I'm excited...even though when I sent a text asking opinions titled "perm" I got several replies referring to some type of intervention. lol!
