Question: Can I have long hair if it's fine?

Answer: You can wear your fine hair longer, although shoulder length or just below is probably the optimum maximum length. Follow your your salon professionals suggestions to the letter.

Question: Is it alright to perm my hair if its fine or thin?

Answer: Perming is a chemical process that seriously degrades the hair, and those with fine hair cannot afford to risk the negative results. No matter how gentle the perm may be for 'normal' people, it probably is something you want to stay away from. Concentrate instead on making your hair and healthy as possible with help from your salon professionals.
