I wouldn't reccomend it. I've heard of some very nasty things
happening with the combination of henna and perm chemicals. If you
decide to risk it DEFINATELY make sure you do a test spot with just
a little hair to make sure you aren't killing off your hair.
Something you may want to try instead. If your hair is long enough(a
little below the chin or longer) braid your hair while it is wet
into a couple of thick braids or a bunch of small ones then let it
dry (I do this before bed and unbraid in the morning). When you
unbraid your hair it will have that wavey effect and gives it tons
of body. I do this with both my naturally culry hair (the length has
killed out the curl) and my daughter's very thin straight hair.
Takes a few trys to get the effect you want but it holds up to all
day wear and tear and doesn't damage your ahir like chemicals do.
Hope this helps!
