About a year ago, I had my hair permed at Zeal and I wish I never did. My hair was so damaged and the maintenance for it so much work. I probably ended up losing at least 4-5 inches of hair in breakage. I would rather use a curling iron every day than to perm my hair again. The 15 minutes it takes to curl my hair now was nothing compare to the amount of time i spent taking care of my perm and it's much less damaging. My hair pretty much looked like kayyle's.
