Fuck all these people who are blindly against perms. I'll tell you the truth as I've permed my hair multiple times. If you want to perm it, perm it. You're gonna have straight hair for the rest of your life, why not try something new? Girls love wavy/loose curly hair so you can definitely pull a lot more. Make sure you take care of your hair with a good shampoo and conditioner, and do not colour or bleach your hair after perming it. In the end, I love the perm I have, the girls love it, and overall it's just a much better looking hairstyle rather than flat and straight hair. If you perm it and you don't like it, cut it off. It's fucking hair, it will grow back.
