Hair Losing Perm Curl and Frizzy?

I had my first perm in the beginning of February, so it's been about 8 months. At this point it's in the transition of "loosening up" or "expiring." My hair is naturally thick and harder to perm, according to my stylist, because I have Asian hair. Apparently most Asian hair doesn't work well with perms? Is this true? The first 4-5 months I would follow the routine of deep conditioning every week, rinsing with cold water, shampooing 1-2 times every week, and moisturizing my hair with natural oils and products. I don't use a lot of products in my hair because it gets oily and frizzy, so if any of you ladies out there know a good natural brand for frizzy hair, please help!

Up until my 7th month mark I began to feel super frustrated with the fuzziness of my curls! And I know perms don't last that long, but at my 8th month mark, what can I do to help heal my hair? I want to maintain the curls and the frizz as best as I can.

What happens now? I've had my wonderful experience with a curly perm, but what do I do now that it's been 8 months and my hair not really cooperating with this routine? I would love to put my hair down again without worrying about how horrendous the curls look, but lately I've been side-braiding it or wearing it in a bun. I want the va-va-voom back, now I am struggling with the womp-womp-womp.

Ladies, if you've got any tips at all, Please help!

Products for frizz are a challenge because I swear most of them make the situation worse to keep you coming back to buy more. I have tried them (in a rebellious period), but gave up on them (but that is just me).

I have always made home made concoctions...since my first beer rinse when I was a tween (my dad actually thought I stole the beer to drink...which was funny...since most tweens would have...but not me :)...I wanted pretty hair back then and read in some TEEN magazine that beer as the way to go!

Then there were the rain water rinses, the banana hair masks and the lemon water and sun bleaching methods (I am so old...and this is what we did).

That said, most of the homemade creations worked....and they were inexpensive and safe for the environment...so why not try something like the vinegar rinse suggested on this site:

The diversity of hair is just so amazing!!! Going forward, my suggestion harkens back to the old days when I grew up...and your stylist lived in your neighborhood, was typically of the same ethnic background as you, and therefore knew what worked best for your type of hair because she had your type of hair.

We are so global now that I know the neighborhood thing is totally obsolete, but today there are niche markets so maybe you can find someone in your general area who specializes in Asian hair who can guide you to best perms and best treatments.

Wishing you all the best!!
