'I wanted loose wavy hair - but a perm disaster left me looking like Annie'

If you're someone that likes to regularly switch up their hairstyle, then you'll probably know exactly what it feels like when you try something new that doesn't quite work.

And that's exactly what happened to one woman who made a huge mistake when she decided to get a perm so that she wouldn't have to keep styling her hair - as while she wanted a loose wavy look, she was left with super tight curls.

The woman, who is an artist that goes by the stage name 000, shared a video on her TikTok account in which she explained she used "the tightest curl ring" available for her perm because she had previous experience with it so didn't think it would curl her locks quite as tightly as it did.

But was horrified with the results (TIKTOK/@I.LITERALLY.DONT.EXIST)

In her video, posted to her @i.literally.dont.exist account, the woman asked her 2.9 million followers for help fixing her hair, as she also revealed she was supposed to be acting in a film soon.

She said: "I've had a perm one other time in my life and I used the tightest curl ring. This was like two years ago, and it didn't come out like this! So I went and got another one because I'm sick and tired of taking care of my hair.

"But guys, what do I do?! I literally booked a role for a movie, and this is not what they're expecting.

"What do I do? What do I do?!"

The woman, from the US, even tried shaking her head in an attempt to get the curls to loosen, but she had no luck and ended up cutting the video short as she screamed in frustration.

Thankfully though, commenters were quick to help her out, with many suggesting she wash her hair as soon as possible to help release the curls before they fully set.

One person wrote: "Wash it, if you wash it within 72 hours of getting it done, it releases the curls."

While another said: "Try washing it ASAP, it should loosen up!"

And a third posted: "Wash it! If you don't like it that will take out some of the activator!"

Other commenters were less helpful, as a couple pointed out that the woman's very tight curls had left her looking like Annie from the musical of the same name.

Someone joked: "It's giving Annie the orphan."

Since posting her video, the woman's hair has loosened slightly and she said in the comments of a more recent post that the style is "growing" on her. She added: "I'm just trying to embrace it."
