While a perm may seem out of style these days, if you have multi-textured hair, getting one might help you get the type of uniformity you want for your 'do. Briana Dunning, a hairstylist specializing in body wave perms at STRIIIKE Salon, explained the concept to Byrdie. "Often, people with curls have multiple textures to their hair, including entire sections that can be entirely straight," she said.
Of course, ensuring that the permed part of your hair matches up with the curl pattern in the rest of your mane might be complicated. You need to discuss the situation with a stylist who has experience with perming hair like yours. There are several considerations, including where you need the additional curls and what size rods to use to achieve the gorgeous curls you want. Mateo Lara, a hairstylist specializing in multi-textured perms at Salon Benjamin, noted that "you'll end up using whatever your stylist sees to be fit for the hair type" (via Byrdie). As with other types of perms, when your hair grows, your roots will likely need attention. Before taking the plunge, be sure you find a stylist you are comfortable with.
