I'm not even going to sit here and judge, come up with motives, call in an expert...but there is a 2-type hair forum on naturallycurly.com and I think you would get more help there. And it's free.

You don't need a perm, relaxer or anything. I get the idea that your hair is coarse and I have no idea what a perm would do to it.

coarser hair is harder to manipulate. I mean you can scrunch it and use curl enhancing products, like aveda be curly or AG...damn I have to look it up, it's a curl enhancing balm

BHM has a section on jherri curls. They'd probably be more helpful over there... There are only a handful of permed members here and they don't post much.

Bhm also has guys so it's not an event when one pops up. :look:

I mean you could get a curly perm, but I don't think that's what you really wanna do. Everything else is hair rollers, flexi rods, and rollers. Your hair is your hair...growing healthy long hair means dealing with what you got. There are texturizing gels that might give you a bit more curl, but IDK.

If you want to stay in braids, use the small rubber bands on the ends. If your braids are small enough, try using beeswax (just on the tips) to make them stay. Don't cut your hair blunt. If the ends are a little tapered the braids are less likely to unravel.

All you need is some conditioner and light gel/pomade to give your hair sheen and encourage your natural texture which already has a wave to it.

Definitely no chemcial treatments!

Go for the curly perm and see how it works on ur hair. If you don't like it just cut it off... Thats the beauty of being a man. Post pics of the results. Id like to see if it does what ur looking for. White people get curly perms all the time and they turn out great

I think your texture as is will be easier to work with it would be with a perm.A relaxer would make it less coarse and a curly perm would make it look like a poodle lol.

Like somebody said before, incorporate conditioner this time around and it will be healthier and you can use curl enhancing products to encourage your hair to curl more. It looks like it has already grown out a lot! How long ago did you cut it off? Did you really shave it?
 
I never heard of sending someone away when they're asking for help here, male or female. We have all hair types on this board and all kinds of issues. He's not the first person looking for more texture (kinky or curly). Braidouts are a great way to get texture w/o using chemicals. You can braid hair up overnight, secure w/soft pony sox, and release in the morning (weekly between conditioning). With your texture, the braidouts should last. A curly perm could potentially give you a poodle look. You can get dreds w/o the perm, keep looking for someone who knows how to loc if thats the track you go for. These are just some thoughts, I think your hair looks good both long and short; and a nice texture that you can do alot with. http://www.tightlycurly.com/welcome has some good tips on defining your waves/curls

Coarse hair is more akin to Asian hair, for example. I think you have the idea that kinkier hair is coarse. Quite the opposite, kinky hair tends to be fine. Coarse hair is resistant and takes more effort to style and whatnot.
 
I remember reading about Korean Afro perms. They are formulated to give your hair a kinky texture. I believe this product was a hot item in Korea.I know that there was a thread about it a few years ago.

Google "Korean Afro Perms", you may get some info on this.

I seriously think u should deal with your own texture for right now sir.

I'm telling you, try the CG method...Your hair just might be more curlier than u think it is.

Then from there see if u still want to alter the curl pattern. CG takes about 2 weeks to start really seeing results...I'd give it a month.

Wow. Maybe you can talk to some of the Asian beauty supply owners and see if they can order the products for you or give you information on how to achieve the look. Good luck with your search.

No I haven't entertained anything. I normally don't since I don't judge off looks assuming I'm semi attracted to the person.

I wouldn't have paid 7 dollars to flirt with the net hotties when I could do it all day at my cell phone store for free if I wanted to. I'm trying to figure out how to style it while it's short, so I don't look like a retard while it's growing.

Is your store pre-paid or contract? It makes a difference. :look::look:

(Ladies, you can thank me later)

How did you find out about LHCF? Welcome to the forum. I'd love to see what your PMs look like from all of the dehydration.

You look like a 2c. Did you need to spend $7 for that. Sorry, I am leery of newbies that are men. I hope you are legit, LOL!

It's a default setting guys. Your profile will say female and type 1 till you change it. Mine said 1a until I changed it too.
