another update!
the curls have been loosening up quite a bit! i've been alternating between fekkai's glossing cream + blowdrying lightly while hair is twisted around my finger and beach hair spray + letting hair air dry in twists. the glossing cream + blowdryi lightly seems to make softer, bouncier curls while the spray gives me tousled, beachy hair.
today i did the glossing cream + light blowdrying technique and slept on them. don't mind the makeupless/tired-looking face; i just woke up after 5 hours of sleep when i took these. =]

OMG, you look so pretty!I am definitely going to look into this. My hair is only a couple of inches past my shoulders, and highlighted, do you think it will work? I don't know any asian salons in the bay area (specifically the stanford area) does anyone have a salon to recommend? Lesparkly, are you a SC trojan?? I went there for my undergrad degree
i went to arty salon in SF. they did a good job imo.
theres also japan center beauty clinic... but i havent tried the perm there.
korean salons in SF to check out: beautiful days or sally's
various chinese salons in SF do it too... but i ended up going to the japanese salon.
im sure there will be some places in the south bay as SJ has their own jtown etc
I love your hair (both ways!!!)...so glad this turned out well for you. I think I want to try this...in like 3 years after my hair grows out! LOL!!!!
Hi!!
I'm just wondering how would you rate this for ease of maintenance?? I'm thinking of getting it done before school starts but I don't want to have a hairstyle that will take too long to style everyday.
Can I just go from a bath straight to school? Do you blow dry it? Is it necessary to put creams in?
I have an appointment next Sunday so any help would be much appreciated! I might just go for a haircut instead.

my hair is virgin...no perms, dyes, highlights...anything...so I'm weary of messing with it! lol but this sounds REALLY interesting but my hair is super thick so I don't know how it would turn out...I usually just french braid my hair for a good wave
i got digital perm in japan.. The result was great.. was sooo curly...
Its supposed to give you less damage to your hair... now its been a year my perms are still there a little but when I brush it, it goes away.

I've had it done before, and i would say that it's very easy to maintain. Stylist recommend that you don't blowdry since the curls will loosen up or become frizzy. You can put gel or other solutions after you wash your hair ... but i preferred not to because it didnt look natural (it was too stiff).
Go for it! I think it's super easy to maintain. All I do is get out of the shower, towel dry, and spray my hair w/ John Frieda Beach Hair spray while it's still wet so that it doesn't look unnatural and "crunchy". I honestly think it take 5 minutes or less from getting out of the shower to walking out the door.
Wow, the results are fantastic! I'm definitely going to consider getting a digital perm during christmas break! My hair is not sleek and straight and not beach wavy..but in a weird dull in-between stage :/ so I think a digital perm would be the right move to perk up my look 
Would you ladies mind telling about how much the average price for one is? Especially in the Los Angeles area?
