I perm my own hair about twice a year. It's not really curly, but it's got some wave and it's pretty 'bushy'.
Make sure it's in great condition. Perms really dry it out, which is probably where the bushiness comes from( I do have a LOT of hair though). I'm leery of salon perms-they always seem to be too curly, plus I know how my hair is (left side is drier and straighter than the right).
If you decide to get one done, check the rods. For just body, large rods should be used. Ask what sizes they are going to be using. Perms stink, there's no getting around that, so have it done at a time you don't have to go anywhere the next day.
The nice thing about perms is, less maintenance-it takes me 3 minutes tops to blowdry and if going to work, I just curl the ends a bit.
Oh, and perms lighten your hair-at least the salon ones do. I use a solution for color-treated or damaged hair so it doesn't do that.
