How to Care Your Hair After Perm

Congratulations on your new permed hairstyle! Perming is a great way to add volume, texture, and bounce to your hair. To help you maintain your fabulous perm, here are some essential tips to follow:

  • 1. Avoid washing your hair

    For the first 48 hours after perming, it's crucial to avoid washing your hair. This allows the curls to set and the chemical process to stabilize. If your hair gets wet during this time, gently blot it dry without rubbing or disturbing the curls.

  • 2. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo

    After the initial 48 hours, it's important to switch to a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo specifically formulated for permed hair. Sulfates can strip the hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and frizz.

  • 3. Condition regularly

    Permed hair tends to be drier than usual, so make sure to use a moisturizing conditioner after every wash. This will help restore moisture, increase shine, and maintain the health of your permed curls.

  • 4. Avoid heat styling or use heat protector

    Heat styling tools like flat irons and curling wands can undo the effects of a perm and cause unnecessary damage. Embrace your natural curls and try to limit the use of heat styling tools as much as possible. If you must use them, use a heat protectant spray and set them to a lower temperature to minimize damage.

  • 5. Invest in a quality leave-in conditioner

    Permed hair requires extra care, so using a leave-in conditioner can work wonders. It helps to control frizz, detangle knots, and keeps your curls looking defined and healthy throughout the day.

  • 6. Be gentle when brushing

    Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush specifically designed for curly hair to detangle your locks. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid unnecessary breakage or disrupting the curl pattern. Avoid brushing your hair when it's dry, as this can cause frizz.

  • 7. Protect your hair at night

    Before going to bed, wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf or use a silk pillowcase. This will minimize friction, help retain moisture, and prevent your curls from getting crushed or flattened while you sleep.

  • 8. Get regular trims

    To maintain healthy permed hair, it's important to schedule regular trims every 6-8 weeks. Trimming helps eliminate split ends and maintains the shape and bounce of your permancy. Here are some essential tips to ensure that your color lasts longer and your hair stays in great condition
