Right now it’s not cuz having to go to a barber that didn’t know how to cut hair and used texturing sccissors and they thinned my hair so I have to wait for it to grow longer smh
I am a licensed cosmetologist and I know SO many other licensed cosmetologists who can’t properly do a perm and have it turn out curly. I give you major props for following the correct instructions and being so diligent with it. I get many clients who have the same problem as you so don’t worry it’s just natural for hair to change texture over your life. My only advice is to be careful so not pull on the hair after you take it out of the rods and to try to not wash your hair for three days after you perm to have a longer longevity! You did a great job though for someone who wasn’t trained! :)
To sum up my reason why... Its because I have naturally, undamaged straight pieces in my hair and I was overrr them not curling up. I used to just leave the perm rods in overnight and take them out in the morning but the curls wouldn't stay and they looked more define then the others. I thought of perming but wasn't sure if I wanted to pay alot of money just to perm a few strands. I hope this helps those who struggle with straight pieces in their hair.
Rika Adorn I'm glad you acknowledge that you can have straight pieces that are healthy. I'm so tired of people thinking its damage hair. I'm only blowdry and use curling iron maybe 10 times in my entire life. I'm 44 and have not use heat on my hair in over 15 years. My hair is very healthy and not damage. I see some get on youtube talking about the hair damage because it want curl but appears healthy. I have 3a, 3b and 3c hair.
Rika Adorn I was thinking about getting a curly hair perm to help my curl definition, my hair is naturally curly but it ain’t shit without hair products 😂
Thank you for making me remember that my blackness isn't defined by my curl pattern. With my bleaching habits almost all my pattern is gone but now I might do this..
Nina Torres i feel you 100% bc my father has type 4 hair , but i have a mix of 2C/3a hair (because my mom has type 2b/2c hair.) I actually used to question myself not being “black enough” because of it. I love seeing other black woman with my hair texture
There is nothing wrong with being mixed. I try to teach my children to be proud of their mixes race and that there really is no need to prove their blackness. The same way blacks, white, asains, and Hispanics can be proud of their race so can mixed race people.
Oh honey. Thank you for making this. You're the only other woman I've come across who has the EXACT same texture as me with the EXACT same problem. I started my "curly girl" journey about 4 years ago and the straight/wavy pieces next to my face and very top of my head is infuriating. The rest is all 2c, 3a, and 3b mixed. I've been wresting with the idea of getting a perm but was unsure how that would work with only doing select pieces. Thank you, gorgeous!
My front pieces don't curl either. It's not damage and am type four. All else curl except that part also. It has the wave to it when it wet and puff up when dry. I don't understand it
YES IM FINALLY GONNA GET A PERM GIRL I KNOW YOU USED TO SIT BEHIND ME AND I KNOW MY HAIR USED TO BUG YOU CAUSE IT BUGGED ME LOL, it's curly and this is exactly what I needed to know, whether or not I'm the only one who wants a perm over my own curls !
Finally! I am not the only one with this type of hair. I used to have really curly ringlet hair. I straightened it for years and i grew out all the heat damage but my curls do not curl the same anymore. They are flat on the roots and halfway down they curl into ringlets. I really want big poofy curly hair and this reassured me that I can get a perm and it wont look like crap hopefully lol. Also no matter what products I use my curls still look flat and frizzy :(
I have naturally curly hair too but it just will not curl in the back, so I have had perms before, twice and I think it is a great way to feel great about our curls! It doesn't stop being curly until I cut it all out from growth. Thanks for putting it out there! Awesome video!
How have I only just seen this video?! I've been so embarrassed going to salons and explaining why my hair is 2 diff types of texture. I thought i was the only 1 with this problem! The front and top of my hair is straight from wearing my hair in slicked back styles. I'm gonna try this and get my curls back! Thanks so much for this!
Thank you sooooo much for sharing this! My 11yo went from lovely locks to frizzy straight, slight wave and bushy bangs!!! She loves to just condition and wear her hair down❤️ natural but lately without press/curl or braids she looks homeless. I was a stylist for over 10 years!!! Your video is what is making her trust me to do her hair today!!! 😘
Thank you for this! I’m getting a perm to match my natural curls at the roots as much as possible, I kept brushing my hair and wearing it up and straitening it so it doesn’t curl the same anymore except for the roots! I’m finally healthy enough to do it and This was helpful!
I have this same problem, parts of my hair are just straight and the rest is curly. I’m about to go get a spot perm done so I’ll update when I get the results :)
I’d say it is risky, depending on your hair type. but for me, i was born with ringlets and I always had them throughout my childhood. As I got older, I started thinning out my hair often. I got a Brazilian blowout every 2 years and would straighten everyday. when my hair finally got back to normal, it was soooo bad. Just bad.... then I decided to get a perm for my whole head and it’s been 2 years since. I transitioned and everything, I feel like the perm kind of saved my curls because now I have ringlets again lol
That’s how all curly hair grows out, and not just curly all hair types grow out of the scalp as straight strands until they reach a certain length depending on your hair type. Then your hair type will change to its natural type.
Jade Phantom No, those hairs are straight as well. It the hair has to be shaved to buzz cut level or lower. Because hair can only curl if it’s long enough to if it’s not long enough it will be straight. But type 4 hair coils pretty fast before it even grows an inch.
OMG!!!!! I have the SAME PROBLEM! It’s not heat damage it just naturally grows loose curled in the front and tightly curled in the back Ugh! Thanks I’m trying this!
GORRRRRRGEOUSSS. You Win LOL.. This is the most beautiful result I have seen on here. Even the salons don.t look this good. I love it. This ended up looking like one of those $500 lace front wigs people buy. 😍
That looks beautiful 😍... I’m glad I came across your channel. I have curly hair myself and my curl pattern isn’t the same in the front. Everyone thanks I’m crazy for wanting to perm it but now I’m going forward with it thanks to you 😁
Yes! Thank you for this. I have some pieces of hair that just don’t curl up like the rest and I for sure don’t have heat damage. Your hair came out awesome, and I think I finally have the courage to perm those unruly waves.
OMG Y’ALL! I’m going to school to get my Cosmetology Licenses and our perming chapter was SO STRESSFUL!!! There is so much to getting a successful perm involving sectioning, base placement, wrapping techniques and more. I hate doing perms
Thanks for this video. A majority of my hair is 3c/4a but I have some pieces over my ears that are pin straight and some pieces around my crown that are 2a before I style and I can get them to a 2c with styling. I’m going to get a spiral perm on Wednesday and then start the curly girl method to help the regrowth all be uniform.
Tried that lol it’s too straight to get a curl or even hold a twist . I tried curlers but curls don’t last the whole day so it’s just straight by the end of the day
I've always had curly hair ever since I was born. But recently my curls are looser and just like you said the front pieces are not curling anymore!!! And it's super frustrating. I miss my curls, but I don't want to do a perm so does anyone have good curl products??
I'm half black & I've always had loose wavy kinda curly hair. Some parts curl but most is just loose waves, I considered getting a curly perm for yrs but I'm scared 😱 I have dreads now lol
i thought i was the only one with naturally wavy pieces of hair without heat damage, while the rest its type 3b and 3c, and even some 4a. its frustrating but i'm scared of perming it like this. I get it from my mom's side, a lot of people in her family have wavy or straight hair, and even if its curly they have a softer texture. when my dads family consists of type 4 hair.
I’m thinking of getting a perm cause my hair just lost all of its natural curl pattern after I bleached and straightened it for a few months ( I died my hair back to a darker shade a week ago and have been trying to get my curls back (I was a 2C/3A and now my hair is just a frizzy mess) I’ve been doing lots of masks and started the curly girl method but the truth is my hair is dead so I think the only solution is to get a perm and not use heat on it till it grown out and back to my natural healthy hair. Does the perm damage your hair?
Thank you so much for this video! I have super tight ringlets on most of my hair, but my hair over my ears are almost completely straight and it is so annoying! This is what I’ve wanted to do, but haven’t wanted to pay someone to perm 2 pieces of my hair.
Damn. My hair is probably like this and I can't get it to stay that way. In the first place, when I try to use all those lovely, softening moisturizing products, I end up with product build-up. I do best roller-setting my hair after striping it clean with lightweight conditioners.
I want to perm my hair because the right hair is like curly-ish wavy and straight under pieces and the left side is straight on top and wavy underneath. My hair is just a mess so hopefully next time I get my hair done they can perm it and make it look kinda the same.
I have this issue too. My back and sides are straight but middle and front is thick curly. It really doesn’t look good. I know it’s not heat damage because I had this since I was little and my mom never straightened my hair until I was about twelve. I was thinking about putting a roller set in this areas because I’m scared to perm my hair lol. But I have been thinking about it.
Ok I have very complicated hair. Some of it is ringlet curls, some is just wavy and the rest is straight and frizzy. I absolutely hate it and feel so defeated that I can’t say that I have curly hair or that I have straight hair. Putting product on it does great for the wavy and curly part but not for the straight part. I would love to perm my hair and I probably will but my only worry is my hair is bleached blonde. Any thought on what I should do? I’m thinking to just keep it natural and don’t use bleach or heat for a few months and let it get healthier and then try the perm. (P.S. I got so get up with my half curly hair and I tried chemically straightening my hair... didn’t work and just literally broke all my hair off)
I have 3b/3c hair that falls within a day. Doesn't matter how I protect it, care for it, what products I use, etc. Which means I end up having to wash my hair more and add more product, which then means I'm damaging my curls. So I'm thinking of getting a perm to enhance and have long lasting curls. I don't have time to deal with this hair, but I absolutely love my hair. Be gald if you have straight hair, because curly hair is a serious pain in the ass 😒
can you use heat on permed hair? I have naturally curly hair but I don't usually air dry and I straighten my hair every now and then but I really want to perm the back of my hair because its so loose compared to the front.
i‘am a men and i have the same problem i have long hair for a men and i have nice curls but on some places my hair is straight/wavy which does not look good at all
My hair texture is super odd. Its like half wavy and half straight.. when I naturally had ringlets. I started crazy colors at around 12 and now im 15 and yes, that took lots of bleaching on my dark hard to bleach hair.. So like 7 colors and bleach sessions later, ive tried chopping and products and nothing will bring them back. Im about to perm it tomorrow so my hair can be evenly curly and textured and about a montb from now ill put a dark dye ontop of my unnatural ginger strawberry color I got going on to avoid bleach. (its very gross and grown out looking but my stylist said its best to wait and separate perming and dye for healthier hair. Hopefully the dye doesnt ruin the curls and they last long enough for my hair to grow a little more to chop and keep new hair growing in. My hair grows pretty fast) I hope it looks good agh im scareddd
i having the same problem i once did a straight keratin on my curly hair and it has grown out. I love my curly hair now but my ends are straight i don’t want to cut it because i loose length can perming it help to curl those straight strands?
Cindy Manuel Fried my hair too but with straight hair perm. It really sucks but trust me it gets better, I finally have grown 4 inches of my curly roots and blow dry the top and keep it in a low pony tail to conceal the transitioning hair. I recommend you take biotin and massage your scalp with coconut oil before you shower and take a multivitamin along with healthy eating and exercise and your hair will grow back very quickly !
I dont understand...was your natural hair a 4c texture before and now it is silky smooth like this after having done the perm???? Will this method not cause double processing when the roots need to be touched up?
I have the same curls as you on the bottom but on the top it is straight. I’ve tried everything that I could do naturally with different methods and products. Should I get a perm on top???
0:40 this is what my hair does!! the front of my hair goes frizzy/wavy no matter how hard I try and the back of my hair is perfect ringlets!!!!!!!!!!! >:(
My hair is super curly under wavy at the top and parts of it are completely straight this could be heat damage but I don't remember much how it was before I did anything and I think my hair is pretty healthy so idk
I have the same problem, my hair doesn't curl as much in the front and I permed it and some got on the rest of my hair and it made my hair straight ☹😭😭😭😭
I have naturals curly loose curls but I straightened it for 2 years I damaged it really bad but now it’s healthy but the bottom part of my hair is kinda curly but there some parts that are straight and look really awkward and plus my hair is straight wet so it’s also harder and takes longer to do so I been thinking about perming it
