Caring for your curly perm adds to its lifespan.
Since getting a perm is a costly endeavor that may take hours to complete, proper care is crucial to ensure you get your time and money's worth. Perms use a chemical process to change your hair's structure, giving you beautifully curly hair. Maintaining your perm and curls properly means your perm will last longer and save you additional trips to the salon. Caring for your perm is as much about doing the right things as it is about avoiding specific actions and tools.
Instructions
1. Refrain from washing your hair for 24 hours after getting the perm. The process and chemicals need time to settle, and washing before they settle may ruin the perm no less than a day after getting it.
2. Wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo when showering. Work the shampoo into your hair shafts and ends. Avoid shampoos with a high alkaline content. Shampoos designed to give you sleek, smooth hair may also help prevent unwanted frizz.
3. Use conditioner every day. To maintain light hair, use small amounts of spray-in conditioner, which may be lighter than rub-in conditioner.
4. Pat your hair dry with your towel instead of rubbing it. Either let it air dry or gently wrap it in a towel. Avoid the blow dryer, the dry heat may damage the perm and ruin your curls. If blow-drying is a must, use more spray-in conditioner than you normally would and blow-dry sparingly.
5. Comb your hair using a wide-toothed comb instead of a regular brush or fine-toothed comb. The wide teeth allow your curls plenty of space to stay formed, while still combing your hair.
