Many people don't know there are 2 types of perms, normal perms and digital perms
https://google.com/search?q=normal+perms+vs+digital+perms
I had my hair normal permed 1 month ago and It was awful, it turned my head into pubes. 1 week ago I got a digital perm and my hair has the texture/behaviour of Vinnie Hacker's hair, it's shockingly natural looking.
It'll only get better too as my hair recovers from the damage of getting 2 perms in a month with proper hair care (here, this is also universal care with straight hair) and Olaplex, which are 2 gems undiscovered by this forum btw. There are also a large combination of styling techniques for curly/wavy hair from drying techniques to a bunch of different products which can be mixed and matched. I'll be trying out new styling techniques everyday this summer before school starts, but in any case I'm rolling out of bed with effortlessly good looking hair.
The reason many people don't know about digital perms is because it seems to be only popular in korea. I live in one of the largest cities in the US, and I could only find 1 place that actually had the equipment for digital perms. This place actually specialized in mens perms, and when I told them I wanted a digital perm they said that they were for girls and haven't given any to guys, I had to convince them to try it on me.
The only downside is that since digital perms use heat they can't get near your roots, which also means your hair has to be pretty long. With a normal perm I could get my sides and back of head permed, digital perm I could only do the front. Still definitely worth it.
Honestly even if you wear your hair straight like curtains, I would recommend getting a digital perm and asking them to do it as loose as possible, it'll add a nice touch of texture.
