As aforementioned, a spiral perm is not always an option for everyone, especially those with short hair. However, that doesn't mean you can't wear a perm.
One option to try is a body wave perm, a style that provides more body and texture to your hair. It works for any length type! "Body waves offer a softer, more natural-looking wave," Briana Dunning, a hairstylist, told Byrdie. "It can also provide added texture and longer-lasting blowouts." To achieve this perm, your hairstylist will use a mild solution along with large perm rods. The only downside to a body wave perm is that it doesn't have a consistent effect on non-straight hair. Curly-haired girls beware.
Another option is a root perm, a type of perm that only, uh, perms your roots. (Get the name?) Unlike other perm options, the popularity of a root perm is growing considerably due to it's convenience and lack of hair damage (via Byrdie). It's the perfect style for anyone who has either grown out their perm and wants a touchup or "for someone who has limp hair and needs volume near the base," Mateo Lara, a hair specialist, said.
Perming is so not out of style. If it were, why are celebrities continually perming their hair? So go get that spiral perm, we're completely here for it. Just make sure to take care of your hair, and don't put anything else in it that might make your scalp unhappy.
