What is a perm, and how does it work?

A perm is a chemical treatment used to create curls, waves, or volume in your hair. The process involves applying a perm solution to the hair, which breaks down the hair's natural structure, then reshaping it around rods or curlers to create your desired style. After the treatment, your hair will maintain its new curl or wave pattern for several weeks to months, depending on hair care.

How long does a perm last?

On average, a perm can last anywhere from 2 to 6 months, depending on hair type, aftercare, and the specific perm style chosen. Over time, the curls or waves will loosen, especially as your hair grows out. Regular touch-ups can help maintain your desired look.

Will a perm damage my hair?

While perms involve chemicals that alter the structure of your hair, when done correctly by a professional, they are generally safe and don’t cause long-term damage. However, it’s important to ensure your hair is healthy and well-moisturized before getting a perm. Discuss your hair’s condition with your stylist to determine the best perm option for you.

How do I care for my hair after getting a perm?

After getting a perm, avoid washing your hair for at least 48 hours to allow the curls to set. Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners designed for curly or chemically-treated hair to keep your curls looking fresh. Regular deep conditioning treatments will help maintain moisture and prevent dryness.

Can I get a perm if I have color-treated hair?

Yes, it is possible to get a perm on color-treated hair, but extra care is needed. It’s essential to consult with a stylist who can assess the condition of your hair. Color-treated hair may be more vulnerable to damage, so your stylist may recommend waiting a few weeks after coloring or using a gentler perm formula to ensure the best results.
