Everything You Need To Know Before Getting A Perm, From A Girl Who's Done It 3 Times
Gone are the days of perms as we knew them in the ‘80s. If you’ve been terrified of perms but are spending countless hours curling your hair and wishing you had effortless, natural-looking locks, then this is for you.
During my freshman year of college, I bought a cheap perm kit from Walmart and accepted my friend’s offer to help me perm my hair. Fortunately, we didn’t have time the night we planned to do it, and I chickened out after thinking about it further. Generally, I weigh risks carefully, but there are a few instances in which my hair has been an exception. While I’m grateful I didn’t perm my hair on a whim my freshman year of college using an impossibly inexpensive home kit from Walmart, I’m also here to clear perms of their reputation of being solely for grandmas or women who are okay trashing their hair with a $15 DIY kit.
