Should I get a body wave/loose perm?

I never got a loose perm, but you can accomplish any of those looks by using a one inch curling iron or some curl enhancer in your hair and scrunching it. I did however get perms from 2 years old until 12 years old (my mom used to do hair) and they last for a good year. Surprisingly my hair turned out to be naturally wavyish-curly lol. But uh you can do if you don't want to put that much effort into your hair everyday. If you do it, know that straightening it could be very damaging it and you will have to live with it for a year, which is longer than a cut or color. It takes like 1-2 hrs to do, the one solution itches but smells fine and the other solution smells terrible but doesn't itch. Hope this helps!
