Q: I have long hair to the middle of my back and it is very thick. I got a perm about 2 years ago and I loved it - so when the perm started to grow out, I got a second perm. That perm fried my hair. I can only put it up in an up-do, or straighten it. It does not look right when I leave it down. Either way it takes me an hour every day to do my hair. It's very high maintenance, I want to get something simple done to it, but something that wont have to be changed when the perm grows out... Any recommendations?
A:This is quite the hair dilemma! I asked Lorraine McAndrew, Creative Director at Vidal Sassoon Salon in Toronto to help this reader out.
That's a great question! Perms do tend to dry out the hair and since you're looking for a style that is a little less high maintenance, I would suggest a good haircut. I encourage you to visit a salon and consult with a stylist to determine the condition of your hair and a style best suited to you. The stylist can then adapt the cut so that as your hair grows you can gradually achieve your desired look.
