Always get the biggest rods your stylist has. I think the last ones I had were grey colored. Different brands may have different colors. Don't let the stylist wrap your hair too tightly either or else you will have some breakage which is a nightmare. My perms lasted for about 6-8 months, though I only got a minimum of lenghth trimmed every 4 or 5 weeks. The worst part is when the top (root) area grows in - because that's where you'll have the flat areas once more. Long layers do better than an all over/one length style. I have had a stylist who could do a root perm and not wreck the lower 2/3rds of my hair shafts. She was great, but now she's still in CA. and I'm back in Ohio now.
Ask around for someone who is highly recommended. That's a wise approach IMHO. And good luck, perms can really make your hair look fabu when done correctly!
