Is it possible to get a perm effect but not permanent?

As you may know perms will grow out as your hair grows but if you want a perm that does not stay in it is better to go for a looser perm.

I had a perm 6 months ago and it is very bad for your hair so avoid dying your hair aswell and straightening it. Make sure you are sure you want to have a perm. It is expensive, and not easy to hide if you don't like it.
