I haven't! I was tempted in the past, but glad I never did.
-
I never have. I've thought about getting a straightening perm but they are so expensive!!
-
Sadly, yes. My mom used to give me a perm several times a year when I was young (early to mid 80s) because my hair would hold a curl. My sister got away without it because her hair doesn't.
-
Yes, but my hair is so fine it fell out in less than a week.
-
yes, when i was much younger.
-
Nope my hair is naturally curly.
-
@Bao: word for word this is exactly what I was going to write, hehe.
-
Never! I wanted a spiral perm in the 5th grade.
-
When I was like 6...from a box. It looked so bad on me though! Luckily it didn't hold more than a week or two.
-
Secret coming out here.
I've actually had several perms. I'm rocking one right now.That being said, its not 80s spiral perm curls. Its just something to give at least a little wave to my stick straight, super fine hair.
-
if a digital perm counts, yes!
-
@chopsuey119: how did you live your korean-american childhood with no pahmas?!!!
i have had too many to count! i love my korean perms...i'm taking a break right now since i went 7 years straight with permed hair, but i know they'll be back one day...;)
-
Yup! When I was very young and was doing pageants. My hair doesn't hold a curl so perms were the way to go for me. I got them frequently between the ages of like 7-10?
-
I did once and pretty much immediately regretted it lmao.
-
My mom permed our hair all the time when we were young! I've considered doing it once or twice as an adult...
-
Totally did in grade 7.
-
I had a bunch growing up. Last one I got in Taiwan in college. It was really pricey and I thought it turned out pretty good, but my cousin told me it made me look like his dog. That was my last perm ever!
-
No. My mom used to have a perm. She has red hair.... and I used to draw her with curly red hair. She looked like a clown
-
Oh my... bad memories.
My grandma is a beautician (at a nursing home) and when I was younger, I would go to work with her (I loved it!) but while we were there she would perm my hair without asking my mom. I would go home with an old lady perm... Lovely! -
Yes, I got a Korean digital perm last summer and I still regret it. My hair is so badly damaged now
-
hahahahaha! Yes!
-
My mom used to give me perms all the time and I hated them. I have super fine hair and it would usually burn off a lot of hair so I'd have rows and rows of little short hairs all over my head
-
No, never. I so wish there was...something that could like, make your hair look all fabulously loose-wavy/big curled... Basically I want my hair to look great without having to do anything...
-
ugh yes! some of my worst pictures in my photo albums are from when my mom permed my SHORT hair...ugh I liked awful. haha
-
@redsmarties I feel you! HB is apparently a truth zone bc...
Yes! I have one right now, kind of.I have naturally curly hair, BUT, like half of my hair is really curly and half is awkward waves. And it's not evenly distributed. So I go in like once every year-eighteen months to get a perm and even it out. But I still only claim the naturally curly, bc it def is. And from what I'm reading above, perms aren't supposed to last a year and a half, but that's where I am now and it's def curly!
-
I did lots of foolish styles with my hair in the past, but I did not perm. Thank goodness lol
-
I never have.
-
I have had one since I was seven! I have one right now, actually. It's a spiral perm, so it's really natural looking. Most assume I have curly hair, but I have stick straight won't hold a curl hair.
-
@EBSC: it loosens with time, but it lasts in your hair until you cut it out! Mine is about a year old.
-
Random thought: it always made me mad in Legally Blonde when she makes her speech in court about how water got rid of the sorority sister's perm in a wet tshirt contest. That could never happen! Water won't ruin it....shampoo will! That's why you can't wash for 24 to 48 hours! Lol...Daughter of a beautician.
