I'm growing my hair long and it's not as wavy, should I get a perm?

I'm 33 and want to have long hair once more before I get too old for it. It is naturally blond and thick and wavy. It is also tends to be very dry. I heard that thick, wavy hair just tends to be dry. Obviously, as it grows longer, it is losing its "bounce" and isn't as wavy. How drying would a perm be? I'd like to get a spiral perm, how expensive is that for hair that is about 4 inches past my shoulders?

Perms damage the hair shaft and cause breakage...this usually isn't an issue if you want to keep your hair the same length, but if you are trying to grow it out long, you might want to wait to get the perm until it has grown out to the desired length.

well find a beauty school they charge less and your hair is probably like that b/c you don't grease your scalp after you wash it

I did the same thing. My advice, don't do it. My hair was very long(about 14inches past my shoulders) and I wanted to add volume and a little wavy, so I got a perm. It was horrible, my hair was very very dry and damaged and I ended up having to cut about 16 inches off. I regret it very very much.

But my sister got a perm when her hair was about as long as mine was and it worked great for her and she didn't have any problems. I think that if you do it, go to a NICE salon, because if you want to keep your long hair, it is more than worth it.

Don't give in to a perm, because perms aren't good. Instead, use a round hairbrush, and use that to brush your hair and blow-dry the roots at the same time to get "bounce". Get it cut as a feathered face-framing style so it doesnt seem too old-fashioned. Also have some straighteners handy.

I dunno why, i just asked a girl :D She says it works though!

Hi! A perm will stay curly untill you cut it off and it is very drying. Please don't get a perm unless you are very very sure you want one.
