Get Rid Of A Perm At Home

Blow-drying your hair is a way to temporarily reverse a bad perm.

Hence its name, a perm is meant to be permanent, at least until your hair grows out. If you have recently permed your hair and are unhappy with the results, there are a few tricks to can try to reverse the perm. Although the only true way to eliminate a perm is to cut off the chemically treated hair, this is often not an option. You may not be able to completely get rid of your perm at home, but there are quite a few ways to tame it and get your hair back to its normal consistency.

Instructions

1. Wash your hair. If you shampoo your hair within the first 72 hours of getting a perm, you may be able to wash out some of the chemicals. Shampoo your hair two or three times to ensure that you have removed as much of the permanent chemicals as possible. If you have had your perm for more than 72 hours, however, the chemicals will have fully set and you will not be able to remove them with shampoo.

2. Condition your hair with a thick, deep conditioner. Leave it on for several minutes before rinsing it out. You may also want to try a leave-in conditioner. These products moisturize your hair and add weight to it.

3. Blow out your wet hair with a round styling brush. This forces the curls out of your hair until you get it wet again. You may also use a flat iron to straighten your hair once it is dry. Heated styling tools dry out and damage your hair, though, so try not to blow-dry or straighten your hair every day.
