as someone on the opposite end of the spectrum, I've had a backwards perm! lol
Well it's called defrizzing or something. It didn't really work that well. Instead of being evenly curly, it just became evenly almost straight with weird small kinks. Personally I don't like perms or the opposite. I have learned to deal with my hair the way it is. Luckily my hair is also easy to straighten so when I want to look extra glamorous I get that done in 30 mins in the salon, for about 15 $.
I always think no matter how well the perm is done, the result always looks slightly frizzy, and the waves are never round, just kind of wavy and zig zaggy. I know you've already had yours done ghoastgirl but I think your hair was beautiful straight anyway. I hope it turned out how you wanted. I guess we always want to try at least once to know what it's like...
The only "perm" type of treatment I'd still consider is a defrizzing one that exists now, that makes your hair as straight as a japanese geisha's, for at least 3 months! I don't remember what it's called but it's pretty tempting...I quite like my hair curly but I have been told so many times that it looks more sophisticated straight...maybe I'll try it one day too. Has anyone tried this BTW?

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
