Secrets to Long-lasting Perm

Proper care can help maintain and extend the beautiful results of permed hair. I’d like to share the secrets to maintaining a long-lasting perm here. 

1. The first 48 hours after perming are crucial.

Avoid getting the hair wet the first 48 hours after a perm treatment. This is an important period for the structure of the hair to set, and exposure to moisture can cause the curls to loosen. 

2. Selecting haircare products tailored to the hair’s texture 

Hair after a perm is particularly delicate. Therefore, choose shampoos and conditioners rich in moisturizing ingredients that suit your hair’s texture. Hair that is prone to dryness will greatly benefit from the use of products with potent hydrating capabilities.  

3. Gentle washing technique

When washing hair, gently massage with the pads of your fingers. Vigorous scrubbing or pulling can cause the permed curls to loosen. 

4. Perm-friendly hairdryer technique

When using a hairdryer, use a low-temperature setting and maintain a good distance from the hair. Using a diffuser attachment can help gently dry hair without disrupting the curls. 

5. Proper use of haircare products

Styling products such as foams and balms made for permed hair can help set the curls. When applying these products, gently work them into the hair from the roots to the ends. 

6. Regular trims

Getting regular trims can help maintain the vitality of the curls. It’s also important to prevent split ends and damage.

7. Avoid excessive heat styling

Using styling tools such as straightening or curling irons can damage the perm.  Avoid using them or use them sparingly.

Putting these trade secrets into practice can prolong the life of your perm style. To enjoy beautiful curls longer, prioritize daily care.
