The Bubble Perm Is Trending: How to Get Carrie Bradshaw Curls if Your Hair Is Naturally Straight

Many people with naturally straight hair can’t seem to resist doubling back to the ’80s and enjoying some perfect curls, which were iconic at the time. Anyone who has spent time watching Sex and the City has probably noticed some of the more stand-out looks on the show – among which is Carrie’s perfect perm which can be seen at the end of season two.

Why the Bubble Perm Is So Desirable

Not only have famous people like Katie Holmes and Bella Hadid sported the fun curls, but they’re also making an iconic comeback because of how easy they are to achieve and how fabulous they look. First off, you have to get your iron nice and hot and then separate your hair into manageable sections. Make sure you don’t burn yourself, and prepare your hair with products for extra volume. Once you’re through the entire head of hair, you can run a brush through it if you want a modern loose look. And there you have it!

Getting the perfect curls depends on the length of your hair. If you have shorter locks, you can try roller sets, as the experts suggest. Those with longer hair can try thin wands or tongs for the best results. Jonathan Eagland from John Frieda Salons suggests you need curls in various sizes once your rollers or tongs are nice and hot.

It’s Easy Being Fabulous

Achieving the glamorous look is not so difficult as long as you use the right kind of product. Try something softer for a freer look and a harder setting product if you want your perm to be stiffer. It all depends on the style you’re trying to achieve. David McNeil, a color specialist from Brooks & Brooks suggests that you curl your hair from root to end, creating the perfect lift and a size-variation curl. So, put on a killer outfit and some fabulous accessories, and you’ll feel like Carries Bradshaw herself!
