spiral perm

ok. i`m 17 and have a spiral perm. my mom talked me into one in may. my hair had always been straight. i almost cried for 3 days but after a month it really looked great. since then i`ve cut my hair a few inches twice. its still 3 inches below my shoulder. so heres the question. mom loves the look and wants me to get another spiral now and another spiral before prom in april. thats 3 perms in 12 months. i won`t let use anything but the biggest rods and the least amount of time but don`t you think thats to much prming. she used curoso (spelling?) rollers for a spiral look last prom and before i knew it my mom had me in the chair. any suggestions????

Hi Rachel it`s Lisa

Maybe you could ask a hair stylist, if it`s too many perms within that amount of time. Do you condition, so that your perm doesn`t become to dried out and brittle? Maybe you could skip the perm this time and get one before the prom instead. keep me posted on your decision.

i think it is going to work out. i`m going to wait til a month before prom and get another spiral. for now i `m going to grow my hair and have the ends trim. i really prefer my hair straight. its obvious how my mother likes it. she has been talking about doing my hair in the spring. god i hope so. i like to look nice for prom with spirals but i like to have a straight do to. i think she liked it when i said i could roll my hair in spirals a few times a week. shes happy as long as its curly. i mean it is my hair and all. i do use a conditioner. and i use a leave in conditioner about evryother day. except for the ends it stil looks healthy. and i trim the end when its time.

lisa just imagine this length with your tight spirals. think about it its a shorter length than what yuo have. now tighten up those curls to ur hair and it just might work. hairboutique.com #4536. add the color you like and there you are. sexy huh!!!!!

Hi Rachel


That is A SEXY syle . Maybe with tighter curls !!
What color do u think would look great on me

Lisa

no way will i go curlier. i`m going to go straight and then reperm just befre prom. iprefer to wear it straight for everyday. i dread being tied to a perm for several more moths after prom. but its ok i can hande it. my mom will be happy . for now i will trim my hair to keep the ends clean. yuor color well whatever you do remember your roots. if you go to dark you could be coloring forever. i think maybe a strawberry blonde would be nice. ive never colored but ive used highlights. and only a couple shades lighter. just be careful that you dont go to far.

hey just for fun look at 3783. maybeeeeechin length. but it might make it to poofy.

very nice, hmm what do u think of me in styles 4619 or 4576

style 4619 was the style we talked about before. remember i said it was pretty but i don`t see trying to style it everyday. i think it would be to time consuming with the top wavy and the sides and back curly. i bet it would take an hour to do that style . it is pretty though and would be a good style for special occasions. ur a wild woman with 4576. i`ve looked at that style several times and always come back to it. i started to tell you bout it but changed my mind. for me its to short and too many curls. i like her bangs. i do like the smooth bangs with the curls. i bet her hair is cut with an inverted bob but not to short at the nape.

if you truly are going short i think no more than bottom of your jaw.

so you think 4576 is too short. how about 5109 - that`s a nice one. still like 4576 but 4764 is fab.
any other styles that you think would look great on me

Ok so I`m confused. Is Rachel A also called Lisa? Or is this one person talking to her/his self?

I haven`t got much opinion on perms. I`ve never wanted to get one myself.

Hi bronnie

my name is Lisa and I have been chatting with Rachel about what style would look good on me. sorry for any confusion.

i like 5109. so ur going with a loose curl now? i`ll see about some ideas with loose curl.

hi rachel

I like 5109 too, do u think loose curls or tighter ones would look good on me? how about that color?

4600 is nice and verrrry popular. but lisa`s hair has just been permed. i do love the color. ok lisa loose and lots of body # 3805 has the loose curl and i like it #3806 is cute # 4436 is really a nice change with the bangs #4736 is really nice i think my first choice . i think of these pics are my favs # 3805 and #4736. i would go to a professional for the color. god you can do terrible things to ur hair if it doesnt come out right. i think an auburn would be pretty. just dont try coloring at home with your perm. go to the pros for that

I do love the color on 4600, how about 3806 or4536 with the color on 4600 ?

i`m glad to see you come around and get away from those tight curls. i like # 3806 and i love the the idea of 4600 color with 3806. that may be the one lisa. the length could be a little longer but thats just me. it really is a pretty look.
JUST be careful when you color.. check it out first AND don`t try to color your hair at home. omg i was so scared when i got my perm that it would ruin my hair for months but had 0 idea that so much damage can happen if you color it untill i started reading some of the stories. i think i got a good perm and not over processed. i`ve never colored all of my hair but i did have a few highlights put in it. anyway i know that perms and color can really damage the hair when done too close together. i guess its been long enough since ur perm and you`ve conditioned religiously that it will be fine.slowly my hair is growing out and straightening. i`m not doing the wash and go perm look everyday. if i have time in the morning i`m straightening it out a little. it`s been nice to know that i can wear it like that.

thanks rachel
so you think i would look good with 3806 and the 4600 color !!

i`m happy that your hair dilema seems to have been solved

yeah, i think that is a good one but.......look at 3799 with4600 color and there is another style i cant remember the # but it was to the shoulder with heavy layers around the face beginning just above the jaw line. it was straight and not permed. but in a few months you could do it. i will try to find the #.
I`m going to perm one more time in in Feb. and thats it. no more. once prom is over no more perms. i will roll my hair to get the spirals my mom wants me to have.
she is such a hair and makeup police with my hair. later

hey lisa the stlye i couldn`t remember is #3777. i like it a lot. maybe a little shorter though. later

hey Rachel , Yes i love 3799, 3800 is the front view of that style. that would look fab. on me . What do you think? Are you getting tight spirals on your hair?

yeah!! thats the one . i really like. it`s perfect.
No i`m staying loose as possible. but i`m thinking of a shorter cut. the problem is i`ll end up with half straight and halp permed bottom. not sure how that would look. later i gotta go have the hair police check oout the hair and makeup. Ahhhhhh! i hate that inspection she pulls before i go its friday nite.later

Well my spiral perm was not real tight. It was loose and looked good for about 6 months before it started looking tired and took longer to maintain than when it was fresh. Actually, when I think about it, I guess maybe 5 months before it required longer maintenance to keep it looking good.
