Re: be honest.. would i look good

  • Don't do it.

    We have the same type of hair, and take it from someone who had a perm from 1990-1995, it's not a good look. Even the loose spiral perms were no bueno.

  • I know 2 people who have had straight fine hair and have gotten a perm...and  it just looks bad. IMO.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • What kind of perm are we talking here? That word tends to bring images of tight spiral shirley temple curls to mind... but there are different kinds and I have a feeling that's not what you have in mind!

    If you're considering it, you might schedule a blowout appointment and ask to have them curl your hair in the way you're thinking of having it permed.

    My hairdresser friends have all said that perms tend to grow out kind of awkwardly. I'd make sure whoever is doing your perm is someone who knows your hair well and can give you an idea of how your hair would take a perm.

    FWIW, I have baby fine hair and I wish it were easier to give it a little volume! Personally, I wouldn't want the damage of a perm on my hair, but I know it's worked for some people.

  • TBH, you'd probably end up looking like a Duggar daughter. I think you should stick with temporary (curling iron) curls! :)
