I have straight hair and am looking into getting a body wave?

My hair is primarily straight and I use a Chi straightener on it to make it look nicer. I have a very hard time getting my hair to curl. I've tried all kinds of curling irons but they just don't take to my hair very well.

The only time it really worked was for a wedding and the stylist had to cover my hair in hairspray, comb it through and tease it, then curl -- very painful and sticky.

So I'm looking into getting a "body wave" (perm) for some natural looking loose curls, so that hopefully I can put some mousse or gel in my hair and go every day.

My question is, will my hair still straighten easily with the Chi flat iron when I want it straight some days?

And also, does anyone know the price range in general for a body wave? I'll ask my stylist the next time I go in for a cut, but for now I am curious.

Thank you!!!! :)

wow you sound just like me!! haha - i have the same hair, same flat iron, and the same problem lol. I've been wanting to get my hair permed to, but just on larger rods so it will be somewhat curly and somewhat wavy. my hairstylist here in missouri told me that she would charge me $60 for a perm and to wash %26amp; trim my hair. so thats not too bad, but i dont know what the prices are like where you live, so you would have to ask and see...

girl do it. get you a body wave.

it will boost your confidence i promise.

the compliments are nice.

i also i straight hair. i don't use mousse tho i have scruncher spray and i spray scrunch and dry it. it comes out like a body wave.

it's a nice change.

it's more satisfying than dying it.

i've had four perms in my hair. mine brushed out.

so becarful with that.

and if you don't like it you can always by straightening chemicals.

they aren't expensive at all.

plus you can buy them at any walmart or hair store(sally's)

But yes most definitely go for it.

and let us know how you like it.

what have you got to lose!!!
