Reverse A Perm

Reverse a Perm

A bad perm not only damages your appearance--it can also strip the hair of natural texture and color. Whether too much curl or not enough curl is the cause of the problem, learn reverse a perm to regain your original hair quality.

Instructions

1. Wash hair immediately if you believe your hair is too curly after a home perm. The washing relaxes the perm and a deep conditioning treatment over the following couple of days loosens curls that are too tight.

2. Choose a salon in your area that specializes in the reverse perm process. Whether you've given yourself a bad perm or a professional perm hasn't lived up to your expectations, a reverse perm--under the care of a qualified, experienced hairstylist--can remove the unwanted curl.

3. Expect a special chemical solution to be applied to the hair to reverse the perm. The solution is similar to the solution used to give a perm, only rods aren't used. The solution is repeatedly worked through the hair with a fine-tooth comb until noticeable curl relaxation is present.

4. Ask your hairstylist for tips on care for your hair. She should advise you not to have any chemical processes done to your hair for a period of time after you reverse a perm.
