To Perm or not to Perm

I'm a little nervous, I just made an appointment to get my hair permed. I haven't had a perm since the summer of 2006. It took almost 2 years for me to get that perm (which was awful) out of my hair. The problem is that my hair is super staight and flat without a perm. So keep your fingers crosses that this one is okay! Will post pics next week....if I like the perm.
