If you don't have a perm in your hair, you may want to get a "body perm." It will give your hair some bend to it, making a hairstyle do what you want it to do. If your hair is pin straight, no amount of teasing, hairspray, or other styling products will help. If you opt to get a perm, make sure you get the ends trimmed every six to eight weeks. The dry ends will be eliminated & the perm will last longer & still look good.
