I have gray that I cover at home with Loreal products and for the longest time I didn't know that I shouldn't dye my whole head instead of just the roots. Now my hair is darker on the ends, and looks horrible. I went to a salon and asked if they thought that I should perm my hair, that I color it, and I want an honest opinion if it should even be done. I just wanted to do something to make my hair look better so I don't have to constantly wear a hat. They said a perm would look great and my hair was healthy enough. She also said she needed to use clarifying shampoo prior to the perm. Now I have a frizzy mess and want to cry. I have naturally curly hair on the ends only, the top is straight and that's why I got the perm , for an even curl throughout. I thought about using colorzap to fix the color and just keep cutting and deep conditioning it for the bad perm. Any advice will help, its pretty horrifying and I don't want to scare small children away anymore with my lovely locks. Thanks.

I got a perm done a few months ago and I hated it.It was perfectly done but the curls were all wrong for me.I wanted loose curls and in the end I got poodle curls - a frizzy mess! So I reversed the perm the next day by buying a home perming kit. You follow the directions on it but instead of curling your hair, you keep on combing it to comb out all the perm. In the end you're left with the hair you had before. Perfect.
