Things you should know before getting a perm

1. Research a salon that conduct the perm you wanted. There are traditional ways (which is cheaper) and high tech procedures that can give you your dream curly hair.

Tony and Jackey, David's Salon, Beauty Brick are some of the salon I know that conduct digital hair perming (in the Philippines). I've heard a lot of positive feedback from Beauty Brick's customers. According to them, they achieved the look they wanted and it is cheaper than the other salons. I choose to have my hair done at Tony and Jackey, because Beauty Brick is far from my place because I believe they only have one branch which is located in Makati. Tony and Jackey for me is just fine, considering the fact that they always have promos and discount packages, they also have a lot of branches which is very accessible for a customer like me who hates traffic. I haven't heard of David's Salon perming feedback.

Tony and Jackey salon offers 2 types of perming; setting perm and digital perm. If you want loose curls, go for setting perm. If you opt for a tighter curls, digital perm is right for you.

2. Choose the barrel size that will be used for your hair, there's small, medium and large. The hair dresser recommends the medium barrel because this will make the curl stay for a long period of time (it'll loosen eventually) because of you already start with a large barrel, after several months, the curl will not only loosen but it'll be straight.

3. Last but definitely not the least, consider on the length of your hair before perming. If you already have a medium length hair, consider growing it about a few more inches because usually, during perming the stylist need to cut few inches off your hair for the haircut that is suitable for your curl and curling hair will obviously make your hair shorter. If you want that long curly locks, better wait for your hair to grow more.

After the perming procedure, you'll most likely be disappointed with the results but I tell you, curls get better after several weeks or months. It takes a lot of effort to maintain a perm and if you're a lazy person, the perm will just look frizzy and look dull.
