How To Take Care Of Permed Hair

Getting your hair permed is a lovely way to make it curl, bounce, and thick.  Following these steps will help your hair stay healthy and look great after getting a perm. 

When you get your hair permed, chemicals are used to change the way it looks and feels.  Because it’s dry and more fragile,

it’s more likely to break if you don’t take care of it. Your curls will stay soft, shiny, and full of life as long as you take good care of them. 

Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be hard.  This blog will show you how to care for your permed hair in a step-by-step way.  It works and is simple.

 What does a perm mean?

 A “perm,” which stands for “permanent wave,” is a chemical process that changes the weave of your hair. 

To twist or wave hair, you can use rods and solutions to break the natural ties that hold it straight and then put them back together again. 

Take good care of this new shape if you want it to last for months. The interior of the strand changes as you perm your hair.

This makes your hair weaker and more likely to break or dry out.  That’s why you need to look after them.

 Please don’t touch that hair for 48 hours!

Your hair requires some time to become adjusted to its new structure after you receive a perm. You should pay close attention to the first 48 to 72 hours.

If you wash, comb, or tie your hair too early, the curls might not look right.

 Step 1: Don’t wash your hair for at least 48 hours.

 • Don’t tie your hair up too tight; let it hang down.

 • Don’t heat or style your hair with anything.

 • To stay away from people, sleep on a satin cushion.

 The perm will have time to properly set, and the hair won’t grow frizzy or curl in strange ways.

 Take a shower and use shampoo and conditioner that don’t have sulfates in them. When you wash your hair again, make sure you use the right things. 

Cleansers with sulfates are strong and remove natural oils.  A lot of shampoos have them in them.  This dries out and frizzes up hair that has been permed.

 While shopping for shampoo, make sure it doesn’t contain sulfates and is gentle and creamy. To take care of hair,

You can use natural oils like aloe vera, argan oil, shea butter, coconut oil, or argan oil.

 • Things that say they are for bleached or frizzy hair

 How often should I clean?

 Not more than three or four times a week.  Too many washes can make your hair dry and lose its shape.

 Step 2: Once a week, do a thorough conditioning.

 Hair that has been straightened needs a lot of water.  One of the best things you can do is go deep once a week. 

Damaged hair can be healed and kept moist with deep conditioning products that work below the surface.

 How to get soft skin:

 1. Wash your hair with a light shampoo.

 2. From the heart of your hair to the ends, use a lot of deep conditioner.

 3. Put a towel or shower cap over your hair.

 For twenty to thirty minutes, leave it on.

 5. Use cool water to rinse the skin to fix it.

 It gets easier to style your curls and the frizz goes away. The strands also get thicker.

 Step 3: Cut it up.  Please

Your hair is more likely to break because it has been permed.  Your hair could break if you brush them the wrong way.

Putting conditioner in your hair while it’s wet is the best way to get rid of knots.  If you have a comb with big teeth, you can use that too.

• Start at the bottom and go up.

 Do not pull too hard or use small brushes. This method keeps your curls in place and shields your hair from harm.

 4. Don’t heat your hair.

You don’t need a curling iron or wand to style your hair.  It’s true that heat tools can damage your perm and dry out and break your hair.

 Use a heat-safety spray first if you need to use heat. Lowten the heat as much as possible.

 • Don’t use heat on your hair more than once a week.

Things should dry out in the open air.  If you need to use a blow dryer, don’t move your curls.  Low heat should be used with a fan.

 Step 5: Keep bleach, wind, and sun away.

 Hair that has been permed can also get damaged by the weather.  The sun, salt water, and wind can all dry out your hair and make curls look flat.

 Safety tips: When you’re outside, put on a hat or spray something that stops UV rays.

 • Before you go swimming, use a leave-in conditioner on your damp hair to protect it. • To get rid of chlorine or salt water, wash your hair right away after swimming.

 When it’s windy, tie your hair back in a loose knot so it doesn’t get twisted. You’ll be glad you took extra care of your hair.

 Step 6: Get your hair cut often.

Your curls will seem frizzy and twisted as the split ends migrate up the hair shaft.  Every 6 to 8 weeks, cut the ends of your permed hair to make it look fresh and new.

 Losing a little space is fine.  Your curls will stay big and defined with just a little cut.

 Step 7: Take care of your curls at night

 When you wake up, your permed hair will have better curls and less frizz if you take care of it at night.

 If I don’t want to touch anything, I sleep on a silk or satin cushion at night.

 • Cover your hair with a satin hat or a silk scarf. •  Put your hair up in an open ponytail on top of your head. This will give you curls that stay in place.

This will protect your curls from breaking and going straight as you sleep.

 Step 8: Make the curls seem better every time you wash your hair.

Your permed hair shouldn’t look too flat as long as you don’t wash it every day.  Your hair can look brand new again with a water-based spray.

 Put some water and leave-in conditioner in a spray bottle to curl your hair again.

 • Spray some water on your hair and scrunch the curls back into place. •  For more shape, use a mousse or cream that makes curls stand out.

This is beneficial for your hair and won’t make it dry out.

 Extra Help for Keeping Your Curled Hair Healthy

 Don’t forget these quick tips:

 • Do not dye your hair right after getting it flat ironed.  For two weeks, don’t do anything. • If you want to keep your curls, don’t wear your hair in tight styles like buns or bands.

You may dry your hair with an old t-shirt or a cotton towel. Using normal towels makes your hair frizzy.

• To maintain your hair healthy from the inside out, eat healthily and drink a lot of water.
