Can I fix my awful permed hair?

I used to have straight, soft, silky, moderately thin hair. Three weeks ago I got a perm, more like a body wave. The stylist told me it would look like the picture I brought in. In the end the crown of my hair looks crimped and the bottom is basically the same but thicker. I've used deep conditioning treatments and hot oil treatments. I haven't done anything drastic yet. I've also tried to style it either curly or straight. Curl does not take, neither does trying to scrunch it. When I straighten it it's still very poofy. I told my mom I decided it looks like gorilla hair. I'm afraid to do anything to it, because I don't want it to get worse but it's unmanageable right now and I can only wear it in a ponytail and put it like that when my hair is wet. I need help and advice! Please give me any insights! Thank you.

Here is what I do before going to bed, wihtout the honey......

Dont go out and buy anything expensive.

First: Purchase a mild Shampoo (To Clarify hair, I will explain why)

Second: TRIM your hair ends (May 1 1/2 to 2 inches)

Third: Here's the magic part: Mix olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and a "little" honey, (honey u will have to heat so it can blend). Either leave on ALL day or all night (if all nite, DONT use honey)

Use a teaspoon of every oil and honey,.... a little more if ur hair is long or a little less if ur hair is short

Repeat this 3-4 times a week, your hair will grow like a weed, fortify, reconstruct, moisturize, soften %26amp; remove all frizz I promise,..... and it will be super shiny!!!!

The clairifying shampoo will help take the oil off your hair when u shower

You can also use a conditioner but get a light conditioner that wont wiegh ur hair down, becuz u can over condition, I use herbl essences "clean happy" conditioner.

When I do this at nite, I wake up, shampoo %26amp; condition, rinse and style as usual. Has worked for years

You can find olive oil anywere, but the other oils you will have to buy at a local organics store, wholes foods or BJ's health corner.

You've paid good money for your hair but didn't think of the consequences!

You've only ever had to deal with you hair when it was straight so that is what you grew a custom too!

Now it's curly and you have to learn how to manage it!

Was you happy with it when you first left the hair dresser?

Do you have products in your home that cater for your new curly hair style?

This is something you'll have to learn to deal with, ask a hairdresser what products work best for your hair, of look for products in your desired shop.

Try frizz ease

your hair is over processed on the ends that's why it's not curly. no more chemicals in your hair. go to a salon and get k pak reconstructor and hydrator, use a couple of times a week. then get a cut. not short but may be a couple of inches off all over, even off your layers. then experiment with different curling cremes( redken ringlet) let it air dry. if you play with the curl too much you will make your hair frizzy.leave it alone once dried.
