Haircut Advice/Suggestions

Hello people! I need some suggestions on what I should do with my hair because I really don’t know what to do. It’s your typical Asian hair, straight and thick. I really want to perm my hair but I’m not sure what style i should go for, and if I do get a perm, I fear that I might regret it because it doesn’t fit me and I’d have to stick with it for several months before my normal hair grows back. Another option, is to stick with my middle part that I have right now and grow it out or something. The thing with this style is that it’s very difficult to work with because of my straight hair. Sea salt spray doesn’t really work or maybe I’m just not applying it correctly. That’s why I’m leaning towards getting a perm because I heard it’s low maintenance and doesn’t take too much time to style. I need your guys thoughts because I’m planning on getting my hair cut soon. Also, sorry if some of it doesn’t make sense because I’m just typing down whatever is coming up to my head. That’s all, thanks for reading. TLDR: I have Asian hair. Should I get a perm and what style, or should I stick with what I have right now?

can confirm perms are super easy to style basically just styles itself tbh the best inspo is to just search up dude k/c/j pop idols or artists from those countries

could probably use mini curlers before a perm just to see how it looks

theres a perm thing they can also do instead of doing like a skin fade on the sides where they press ur hair so it stays fairly flat idk the technical term for it but that is an option just fyi
ricE
ricE15mo ago
idk seems a little too much a fade would be nicer imo
burrito
burrito15mo ago
yea i think either would look good on u

ngl theres not that many photos to choose from on google so its kinda hard to find the right one that i personally like Legit don’t know what to do anymore. Too many people and videos mentioning that it dries out your hair and could damage it in the long run. I might as well go bald

i’ve been getting perms twice a year for four-ish years and my hair still feels pretty healthy i guess it dries out a little but any hair oil will do i also do a pretty relaxed curl, more so to get texture because i have very thick straight hair

That’s good to hear But thing is, I’m hearing too many mixed responses from people One group says it’s good and people should get it. Another says don’t do it become it damages your hair My hair is so ass rn and perm is the only option I see

Both can be correct lol Some people love it and have healthy hair to start with, so its fine for them. But for other people it's not worth it, either their hair wasn't up for it to begin with, the style isnt THAT good compared to the hair health sacrifice for them, or they won't accept ANY hair damage at all for any reason. At some point you have to decide your own priorities You look young enough. I'm sure the damage a once-off perm would do would not be so severe you'd never recover. You have had this idea in your mind for a while now, clearly. Try it and decide if it's worth it for you; noone can tell you now if you'll like it or not.

It sounds like you want a perm, so get a perm. Hair damage isn’t the end of the world. In the very worst case, you grow it out and cut off the permed part

Hell nah 💀 I’ve settled with getting a perm. Now I just need to figure out which one looks best on me
