10 Curly Perm Hairstyles
Craving a curly look but can’t get it naturally? A curly perm is an easy and efficient way to add texture and curls to your strands. Curly perms are done using chemicals that help reshape small sections of hair. When the chemical is applied and hair is wrapped around rods, hair reshapes itself to sit in a curly texture.
It can be easy to have some hair texture envy which may lead to thinking about perm hairstyles. There are plenty of bold and beautiful curly hairstyles to inspire, and only so much time left to spare in your morning routine. Another 20 minutes battling with a curling iron? No, thank you.
If you’re thinking about giving a perm a try then you’ll want to check out these hairstyles.
