Yes - as getting a perm will do little to change the contents of the inner hair shaft and follicle.
To perform a pre-perm test curl, you would dampen a small section of hair, wrap it around a perm rod, and apply the perm solution on the rod. Process as you would with a regular perm, and observe the results to check for hair compatibility and desired curl outcome before proceeding with a full perm treatment.
Pre perm testWe do this to make sure your hair is strong enough to withstand the strong chemicals, they will do a pull test on the strands of hair to see if there is any that break off. If they do, they will advise you against getting a perm right now and may have you condition for a month before trying again.

The pre-perm test curl is typically done by taking a small section of hair, soaking it in the perm solution, wrapping it around a perm rod, and then processing it according to the instructions.

If the damage is just on the ends get it cut off. If the rest of the hair is okay then you should be able to do it. Do a test first just to be on the safe side. Weave hair out of a section on the back of the head, cut it off and use it to do a test perm, if it turns out okay then you can go ahead.
All chemical treatments work differently than each other and on different hair types. The pre-perm test curl lets you judge whether this technique will get you the look you want, and check that the chemicals won't ruin your hair when you put it on your whole head.
