I want no fuss hair so I get large rod perms on my shoulder length shaped hair 4 times a year. My hairdresser uses a Joico product before rolling the rods that boosts moisture and it works well. I also get a moisturizing treatment between color and perms. My natural hair is just blah and now I only have to roll a medium roller on the bangs and air dry while doing my makeup. I use a Joico product to thicken the look and usually spray Isomers Beach Waves Texturizing Sea Salt Spray after washing or wetting it daily and only a few minutes to fluff it out and perfect hair all day.

I have fine straight hair and not a whole lot of it due to thyroid problems. I've been getting perms forever. I tried to give my hair a rest by trying many products to give my hair more body and nothing works as well as a perm. I always ask for a gentle perm. Perms have come a long way over the years and I have been mostly satisfied with them. I use a conditioner after I shampoo.

I've been getting them since the 80's. My stylist used Matrix oil which I use a drop of two on the ends. I also use Wen during the first 2 months after being permed.

Permed my hair 4 years ago. I used argan oil to make my hair shiny and soft. The argan oil really helped. I also used natural shampoo and conditioner. It really made a difference.

I got perms when I was a child, Toni, Lilt, all from my Mother.
I continued with perms (home and professional) occasionally over the years until about 20 years ago when one didn’t take so the hairdresser did another one the next week. It was a frizzy mess!
My friend is a hairdresser and she asked “when can I cut your hair” I told her “today”. After lunch she gave me a short cut since my hair was burned.
She also gave me lessons to trim it if she was away on vacation.
She told me after the perm was gone I have wavy hair, color it and don’t neeed perms.
It’s longer now but I still color it, and cut it and will NEVER get another perm! There are many new hair products that can boost curl.

My mom used to give me those Toni perms and the smell still haunts me, along with the frizzy hair I ended up with!
