Question for a hairdresser?

I have pretty stick straight hair, and I want to create some wave/curl in it. I am going to get a perm, but what should I tell the hairdresser I want (a body wave, etc.)? What size rollers should they use?Question for a hairdresser?
I鈥檇 take a step farther back and instead of telling your stylist you want a perm, tell them what you want your hair to do and then discuss the options. I know stylists who won鈥檛 even consider giving a perm because they know it鈥檚 a waste of their time and your money.





If you have long hair (I鈥檓 talking beyond shoulder length), you鈥檒l get as much benefit from flushing your money down the crapper as you will from paying for a perm because the curl won鈥檛 hold. The weight of your hair will cancel out the texture. What you generally end up with is a curl that鈥檚 tight at the bottom, but loose at the top and the disparity gets worse over time (this is true of any but the shortest hair).





Even better, as your hair grows, you鈥檒l end up with a definitive line where your hair goes from curly-ish to bone straight. So you are either committed to repeating the process every 6 weeks or so, daily straightening once regrowth starts, or wearing funny looking hair.Question for a hairdresser?
ok well if your doing a perm then there gonna know what to use...you can also go to the drug store after your perm and buy certin products to keep the curl....and it depends what kind of curls you want you have to let them know like if you want the tight spiral cirls or barrel curls...they r gonna know what to do
i think a pro. hair dresser could figure it out. you cant just go in there and take over. theres a difference between asking for something and bossing for it.
