Can a perm look natural and not like a poodle ?

I think that a perm look would looks natural and not like a poodle but it would depend of a lot of things.

It can, I have had a spiral perm (several years ago for about 10 years) and it looked natural. At first though it feels and looks like a poodle LOL but you have to let it settle down and it takes more than a couple of days for that to happen, depending on the type of hair you have I would think.
