I recently had my first perm done and I'm not sure how I should be managing it. I have been told lots of different things - wash it everyday, wash it sparingly, with product, without.. what do you think?

Oh Goshlings:shockedhair: Is she kidding that she recently had her first perm? Are perms making a comeback? God I hope not!!

Perms scream 1980's horror memories for me! But at the time I thought I was so cool because I got a spiral perm and that was special because they put the rollers in a different way! I got a perm even though my hair was naturaly curly!:rollthoseeyes: I was also super cool because I started using Joico products after my first perm and that was a seriously big deal because it was $13 and came from the hair dresser!

I've never had a perm. I've thought about it, cos I would love love love to have curls. Can you get a perm that gives you a nice curl (ie not 80s spiral curls?)?

Yeah I think u can? My sister did this. Ill ask her. She just had sort of loose waves. was nice

If you could ask that would be great! Might be my next style when it gets a little longer (if I decide to grow the fringe out).

I had a perm when I was about 14 :redcheeks: :redcheeks: Most stupid thing I have ever done in my life! It was a nightmare!
Yes, I think you can go to the hairdressers and get loose curls, as I've enquired about it before, the hairdresser said that it doesn't last very long though - they 'drop' very quickly compared to the tighter ringlet perm.
