To perm or not to perm?

Shall I perm my hair or not ar? My hair is now quite long ady so its either to cut it or I wanna try something new.. which its to perm.

I grew my hair since I was 17 and I never cut it short ever since. I bleached and coloured it crazy during college days but had since stop and now my hair is fully natural... :)

Im thinking of perming it with big curls..

And Gyna said I should colour it a bit if im planning to perm cos it wont look nice on dark hair (even though my hair is not 100% dark, its kinda brownish under the sun.. only under the sun.. )

So, shall I color and perm? just perm? or just trim it short? vote me k? :)
