Perm Frizzy Hair

Frizzy hair can be chemically straightened with a perm.

Hair comes in different types and styles. Some people are born with naturally curly hair while others have hair as straight as a stick. Some have other problems such as dry or frizzy hair. Those with frizzy locks often look to perms as a way to relax the hair. Perms done in a professional beauty salon are expensive, but you can save cash by giving yourself a perm at home. Because perms use strong chemicals, you need to follow the instructions carefully or you may have to go to a salon--to fix your mistake.

Instructions

1. Put on the latex gloves provided in the kit to protect your hands from the chemicals. Apply the protective cream from your kit all along the hairline. Part your hair into two-inch sections and apply the cream to your scalp along the part lines.

2. Comb hair together, starting at least 1/4 inch from the scalp. Part hair into four sections, starting front-to- back, and then side-to-side. Secure each section with a clip.

3. Mix the chemicals together for the perm. Start at the bottom and begin applying the perm solution to each quarter in two-inch sections. Apply the solution as close to the root follicle as possible without touching the scalp. Repeat the process for each quarter until you've thoroughly coated all your hair. Set the timer for the time designated in the instructions of the perm kit.

4. Comb through your hair, avoiding your scalp, to make sure you've distributed the solution evenly. Leave the solution in your hair until the timer goes off.

5. Wash your hair using the neutralizing shampoo included with the kit until the suds are clear and no signs of pink suds remain. Apply the conditioner, observing the kit's timing instructions. Dry and style your hair.
