Should I get a perm?

I’ve been considering this possibility for a while already. I’m a teenage male and unfortunately can say my hair is not the most kind to me. I have a lot of hair, fast growing hair, and it is about as straight as it comes. It is really dark, giving off Jamaican man vibes. (The hair, not the skin ofc) It is currently sitting at 5 inches on top, and an inch on the back and sides, but no matter the length, because of how much hair I have, and how much weight it has, no product I’ve tried has been able to keep it up, let alone textured. I can’t do wolf cuts or anything like that because my forehead is so large that the plane pilot that missed the runaway a couple weeks ago could land on it. I’m considering a wavy perm, nothing too curly, but enough to give it the texture I want. I don’t know too much about hair, but do you think it could work for me?
