Dear Ouidad:

My hair is wavy, not curly at all unless I add products. Would you recommend my getting a perm or body wave? I had one many years ago and loved it. The curls were spiral and natural looking. It’s the only way I can think of to get those curls I want and not have to put tons of styling products in my hair and be able to leave the house quickly in the mornings.

Dear Wavy:

Wavy hair is gorgeous, too! I always tell my clients in the salon to embrace their natural curl (or wave”> pattern and work with it before going to chemical processes (like perm or softening”>. If you’re really looking to get that curly, wavy look though make sure that you prepare your hair with a nourishing Deep Treatment and get a gentle spiral perm. We’ve come a long way with the perms!
