“Is getting a perm bad for the hair?”
Is getting a perm bad for the hair? My hair is already naturally wavy but I want it to curl more. My dad lost hair at like end of 30s and early 40s. I can mantain it well and use oil for my hair but I wanted to know if getting a perm bad?

Yes, I would advise against getting a perm
Typically, having a perm only stresses your hair shafts (the hairs) and does not create risk to the hair follicles (what creates the hair) and therefore should present no increased risk for hair loss.
