Advice on hair styles!?

I have really straight hair and I am sooo bored of having it look exactly the same everyday! I try curling it but it's so straight that after an hour or so the curl drops out, no matter how much in the way of styling products I use! I'm thinking of getting a wave put through it by the hairdresser, just a soft one nothing crazy, so that I have the option of having it straight one day kind of curly the next- good idea or bad?! I don't know how bad it is for your hair to do this, and I don't know if it's possible to get just a soft wave instead of full on curls done? My hair is about 3 inches past my shoulder and has long layers at the moment, just in case you need extra details!

If your hair if baby fine a perm will not help much with that length hair. It is too heavy. Even med. texture hair would be to heavy to have all but the last 6in.or so hold a curl. Maybe a more layered cut like a shag with a perm would give a curly look, But any chemical treatment will damage your hair !! if your hair is 12 in. long the ends are about 2yrs. old and will want to dry out and split.

I would go with trying different styles like braids!

Have you tried curling it with straighteners? Get some good slim ceramic straighteners like GHD's and pin your hair up and let a bit down at a time starting from the bottom. (this has to be done on dry hair by the way) and just hold the straighteners onto your hair like normal, starting from the top of the section, but instead of pulling the hair straghit through, twist the straighteners round as you pull the hair through.

It makes amazing curls and mine stay in for about 2 days after usung this method and a bit of hairspray.

You can vary the curls from tight curls to waves depending on how big the section of hair is you use.

I have the same problems with my hair. No matter how many ways I try to curl it they dont last more than an hour or so. Try plaiting it when its wet and going to bed. Otherwise I tend to put my hair up in as many different ways that I can. I move my parting around(which is pretty effective), clip it up etc. Good luck and let me know if you get a wave put in by the hairdresser.
