I don't recommend it if you are a low maintenance type of person when it comes to your hair. I was quite naive back then and didn't really make the effort to put mouse in my hair every day and it was horrible. hehehe The good thing that came out of it was that the curls in my hair would stay when it curl it. Before, the curls would never stay since I had fine, straight hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-635107 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 17:44:31 +0000 mrs. wagon 635107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: lol! I have no idea.. I was at a Korean salon and my mom was talking to the hairdresser about my post partum hair loss. The lady put the perm chemical in the top of my hair in strips (like highlighting kind of) and placed a roller under each section. The result is just a tiny bit of lift but it makes such a huge difference!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-635055 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 17:16:16 +0000 Rubies 635055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had lots of perms but not in the last 10 years. I was going to get one a few months back but instead opted for a chop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-635043 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 17:12:20 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 635043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a perm in 3rd grade.

Everyone called my Curly Sue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-634978 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:48:39 +0000 Sophia 634978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had so many perms as a kid, but none as an adult. My hair is thick and straight...I would kill for curls like Keri Russell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-634973 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:47:27 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 634973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use to get a perm once a month when I was a kid and it would take 2 hours just to set the curlers in my hair! I hated the process but love the look. Last one I got fried my hair its taken over a year for it to get healthy again! Never again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-634972 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:47:21 +0000 MaisyMay 634972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't, but my mom did. She already had fairly curly hair so she ended up with an afro. My mom is as white as it comes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-634967 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 16:45:31 +0000 bpcmarj 634967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always wanted a perm, but my hairdresser keeps refusing.

I've been teasing my hair all this time when I could've had it permed?! Do you go to an Asian salon? Is there a technical name for a perm with volume at the crown?I love volume at the top... the higher the hair, the closer to God ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-633340 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 10:07:25 +0000 Mrs. J 633340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had a spiral perm since I was 7! Most people assume I have curly hair, when in fact it is SUPER straight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-633335 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 10:06:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 633335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom used to perm my short hair...it was awful! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-633302 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 09:53:59 +0000 mrs. wagon 633302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe! Since college I've always had either a magic straight perm or a digital or setting wave perm. Right now I'm sporting tight waves that end just past the shoulders and I love it. It's the first time they permed some volume into the top of my hair, and I LOVE it-- when I pull my hair into a quick knot, it looks like a curly updo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-633273 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 09:47:38 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 633273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom/aunt/and I did a "7 day at home perm". It didn't really work, just made some weird kind of waves, but it lasted until my hair grew out! Not 7 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-633268 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 09:46:58 +0000 matador84 633268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I have great hair that curls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-633249 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 09:42:51 +0000 lavender 633249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a perm 5 yrs ago- but not bad 80's perm, more of a wavy perm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-630361 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:50:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 630361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom did it to me once, one of the at-home kits. It only held for like a week (thank god, because it looked AWFUL). I wish my hair had some curl in it but that experience sort of scared me away from doing anything to curl my hair besides using my curling iron. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-gotten-a-perm#post-630356 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:48:58 +0000 Turd Ferguson 630356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hergreenapples: The permed bangs are the best part.

My mom let me get perms in elementary school, and holy mother of god, were they terrible. Big poofy curls. Oi. I got one in HS that wasn't too bad, but bad enough that I cut it off pretty quickly...
