Had my first digital perm few days ago. It turned out much better than I had hoped for. You can choose the size of the curls and since I had shoulder length hair, I opted for medium sized curls. Very pleased with how it turned out; not your traditional perm. It's what you call beach wave or curls you get with a curling iron, but right out of the shower.
Very easy care as well. Just twirl your wet hair in large chunks and let it air dry. So simple. I am in love! Best part is my hair is still very healthy.
