Ladies, have you ever found that you get more attention with very curly perms? Particularly the type that you tease at lot to get that "messy" perm look?. I certainly have a weakness for women with perms.

I know someone who got a body wave. It was perfect for bedroom hair.


I don’t know about perms but I do know that a lot of guys like the whole curly/messy hair look. i also find that softly curled, layered hair does better than straight hair. However I leave my hair straight most of the time because I’m too lazy to curl it.
No im not into it dude as yoda says lol
Like a 'Cher' kind of perm?I actually love them but I love the whole 80s trend big hair and fishnet and stuff.
Having said that, I don't go for it at work!I think it would age me.





no. i have natural curls ( like crazy ones, helena-bonham-carter-type ones), but i make waaay more with straight shiny hair. it also maximizes the length, i find men will prefer length to anything else

I implied no such thing. First of all I've never hidden the fact that I am in my mid 50's and have been going to strip clubs since the early 80's. I comment quite frequently about the differences that I've observed in my tenure as a strip club customer. As far as the perm part of this conversation goes it is precisely because I am older that I understand how dated the term is. In the 70's and 80's I actually worked in the wholesale beauty and barber supply business. I remember not only how quickly hair curling and waving products moved off the shelves but also how badly they smelled when being applied! At that age I had very long naturally curly hair (yeah, my years at attempting to be a rock star!) and customers at the supply house used to ask me all the time what brand of perm I used! Well, years go by and trends change. For the record, perms were already starting to fade in popularity by the mid to late 80's. Their peak in popularity was during the 60's and 70's. The permanent waving process is not nearly as popular as it once was. The same can be said for the harsh hair straitening products that once flooded the market. Anyone who refers to a woman in the 21st century as having a perm is clearly still thinking in an era that is long passed-thus, the reason for my comment. I may very well be from that same era myself but I happen to know that the term-and the process-is not all that common anymore. Furthermore, I don't see anything in my original post that would indicate that I am trying to hide from my age or my history as a customer.





This is an interesting point. It occurred to me as I was reading your post that I have many dancer friends from South America and parts of Asia who have naturally curly hair but spend hours straightening it before they go to work at the club. They all do it for the same reason-they say that their money is better when they go in with the straightened hair rather than when they leave it alone.
Then it really has nothing to do with age, so something like "What century are you living in?" might have been more appropriate, as it is more a cultural/mental thing rather than pure age. In some ways, even I am still living in the 80s (but that is a complicated story) and I was in grade school. I don't know, were you not expecting the term "perm" to ever be used again by anyone? People use all kinds of outdated terms and their ages range from single-digit to three-digit.





If it's done right, and not too loud and overt, then it can work just as well as current styles. I have only seen a few dancers with perms, and for them, it worked.
