Can you straighten your hair permanently? does it damage your hair?

It depends how old you are to get your hair permanetly permed. Like my hair is sooo curly and wavy i wish it was straight but when we asked the beauty stylist she said it could ruin my hair the age i am. I would do you perm at a Beauty parlor because if you mess up you might ot be able to fix it. You can't perm your hair by you self i think because it would be too hard. But i bet you would like to save money and do it your self well i would just go and do it the parlor if you want it soo bad

to answer both your questions with one answer: Permanent Damage.

what do you mean by 'poofy'? is curly, frizzy, coarse? is it fine and curly, or frizzy or poofy in different places?

if your hair is coarse then you might try conditioning it first with jojoba oil, it is the best. it will make it less curly if it is curly. In my professional opinion, jojoba oil is the best type of conditioner if your hair is coarse, curly, or frizzy, it makes it flat as can be and it won't damage your hair.

If you do decide to treat it with a chemical, I still highly recommend the jojoba oil.

Good Luck!!
