Will a setting destroy my perm?

[Elina]

Hello all

I permed my hair in the beginning of august, to give it a bit more of a wavy look and to give it more volume. My har is quite fine, and soft...."scandinavian hair" as it's called.

I used to set my hair before, sleepin in rag rollers or using hot sticks to get that vintage look. But I haven't dared to try it again since I permed my hair, because I'm not sure if I will destroy my perm by setting my hair? I mean, Im afraid that my hair will loose it's volume and wave if I sleep with rag rollers or use hotsticks...

Anyone that have any ideas or suggestions or answers? Can I set my hair?

As far as I have read, EVERYONE in the 50s had perms, but continued to set their hair. The perm helps keep the set, I think!

I know our Fleur has a perm and she still sets her hair - in fact she says it makes her sets last much longer.

Lordy no, its called a perm because its permanent

When you wash it it will go back its pre-set state.

Heavens no - that has always been the point of a perm - you have it done then continue to set with better and longer-lasting results. It will do absolutely nothing to your perm, but your perm will do wonders for your set.

Perms are meant to make sets last longer. Especially if you have fine hair, or straight hair, or both.

fftopic: Well I'm partly Scandinavian and my hair is thick and straight. Wonder what kind of hair I have... German?

The only thing that will "destroy" your perm is it growing out or it getting cut off. Sets are fine. It should only enhance the effect!!

Nope It won't ruin your perm, your set will last much longer with a perm.

I have a body perm and set my hair with pillow curlers quite often.
My perm is still good. Yours will be fine also.

Thank you ladies for your answers!

Then I can start to sleep with rollers again, yey!
