What are some tips for perming your hair?

Answer by  taylor801 (246)

Before committing to a perm, a procedure that will alter your hair for up to six months, you want to seek the opinion of a hair professional. Going to a salon to get your hair done, especially when considering such a drastic change of style like a perm, is highly recommended.

After you get the perm, wait a couple days before washing it for the best results. After your daily shower, use your favorite styling product and crimp your hair.

If you're thinking about perming your hair you should make sure that it's well conditioned a few days before and then don't wash it for a few days so that it is kind of oily. The more oil and conditioner you have in your hair the less damage you will do when you perm it.

The best tip is to not perm it at all. I have been 8 months perm-free and my hair has never been this healthy. The new growth I've experienced has been amazing. But if you're dead set on a perm, Organic Root Stimulator has a great relaxer. Also, stretch the time in between perms for stronger hair.

Make sure that your hair is nice and conditioned since perming can be drying. Or, just don't wash for a few days so it's oily.

Before perming your hair, it is advisable to keep your hair in a healthy shape to avoid breakage and damage. Deep condition your hair daily for at least a week and make sure that you do not chemically treat your hair with colour a week before and a week after.

If it is your first perm, you may want to go to a professional to get it done. Then, don't wash your hair for at least two days after.
