Nice pic crys! You look great!!
I also have straight hair, I hate it!!
I had a perm twice and I liked it much better than my straight hair, but it's not easy with my hair to get a good perm, they must use really strong products to get it a bit curly.. and it damages my hair very much so I just have it straight again, don't want to lose all my hair and have it all dry.. so I have to live with this hair I guess

Wish I had my best friend type of hair, very thick and with nice waves in it

hehe
And yes angela I have the same thing, you can't do anything with it, it's just straight and nothing else, even when going to bed when it's wet..
