I have short (4 to 5 inches) & thin hair & i wanna get a perm... please help!!!?

hi... i want to get a perm but don't know where to start. my hair is quite short - only about 4 to 5 inches and is very straight and thin. i don't want it to look blatantly like i have a perm, like a limp poodle perm or something terrible like that. i am happy to go for a drastic change but then on the other hand i am just happy to have some body in it or a kink/curl or something. any suggestions or tips would be great. thanks so much!

ISO perms work best on fine hair and it doesn't smell like nasty perm , either.



do large rods (purple, orange).



they also have a one step texturizing perm.

Go to your stylist and explain your dilemma. I would under normal conditions suggest you curl daily with a big-barreled curling iron. But if you want something permanently, make SURE they know that you don't want curls, just body to fill your hair out. It might also help to find someone who was in the same situation, and use their stylist. Don't go to anyone that doesn't have a good reputation or you aren't sure about.

I have very fine hair and it will not hold any curl unless I get a perm. A professional can give you a perm on that short of hair. Also you can get what is called a "body" perm, which is not the tight curls. It can be as loose as just waves in your hair or soft gentle curls (not the tight "poodle" ones) Do not go to the chain places like: Great Clips, Custom Cuts, or any of the ones in J.C. Penny. The beauticians that work there come and go really fast and don't care if their work is good, cause they don't care if you come back to them.

STOP!!!! DON'T DO IT! I went to the best salon in my state with the same situation as you. Everyone told me not to do it cause they said I would look like a poodle. Stubborn me didn't listen. 250 dollars later, I looked like a poodle in a late 80's music video! It's been months and I'm still straightening my hair every single day. Please, don't do it to yourself! The salons don't always deliver the great results that they promise.

on that short of hair, you run the risk of either looking like a little old lady with her tight little perm, or like you have an afro. Go to a stylist, and really discuss all you options before making that desicion.

From someone who has gotten a perm 3 times....don't do it, after a couple of months you will wish you had straight hair again (like me now)

Oh my God, please don't do it! Why? BECAUSE I DID IT!!! I have baby-thin blonde hair. I had it about 4-5 inches long and had a moderate perm done to it ... and it looked like an afro! If you had thick strands it would be okay, but since your hair is thin, it WILL end up looking very poofy and frizzy.
