Hey guys. I am, obviously, a guy  *hence the username*   However, I have longER hair, as in the start of a mullet, and long hair all around. The problem is, my hair is SO straight, I cant keep the wave for more than two minutes after I get out of the shower or something before it falls pin-straight again. Im very unhappy with me 'do. So I need some suggestions:

-For guys with super straight hair of my length, how could I style it? What products could I use to give it some body? What should I do??

-Thanks

Yes, a korean male friend of mine (hence stick straight hair) got a wave perm for his hair. He kept it longer than most (to the bottom of his neck).

Braiding is a great way to get waves in your hair and they stay quite well when you braid with your hair wet/damp and let it dry in the braid.

Rope twists also give a nice wave - more of a rounded wave where braids give more of a zig zag.

If you put a bit of aloe vera gel on your hair before braiding/twisting, the waves will hold even better.

Give these a try and let us know how it works out for you.

Perms are quite damaging to the hair.  The chemicals used are very harsh and will dry the hair out and leave it prone to breakage. 

Once you have a perm, it will of course, grow out from the roots.  This will leave you with curls/waves on the ends and straight hair at the roots.  Most people are then tempted to repeat the process which damages the portion of the hair shaft that has been previously permed even more. 

For anyone hoping to grow their hair longer, perms probably are not a great idea.  However if you plan to keep it at about the same length, the regular trims would remove the most damaged ends.

The perm is permanent.  It has been about 20 years since I last had a perm, but I seem to remember that I would get one about every 3 months.
