The results may disappoint you if you get a perm. Often hair gets a bit frizzy when we perm it and since you want smooth straight hair, you may find that you have just given yourself more work each day. A better solution may be to first get a proper haircut.
Layers or a razor cut can help give you volume. Then, purchase a volumizing spray. A simple trick is to blow dry the hair upside down.
I would try this first prior to turning to a perm. If you were seeking curly or wavy hair, I would say go for it. A perm can add more volume.
But now, you will need to invest in a hot iron and straighten hair every day. The end result after straightening will be flatter and smoother.
.I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
