How to care for your hair after perming

Not all girls have obedient locks that can easily be wound on curlers and stop there. For ladies with straight hair, difficult to style, a perm was developed. It allows you to save curls until they grow back. However, this option is possible only with proper care, which we will talk about today.

Basic care rules

1. After perming, even the healthiest hair will begin to split. For these purposes, get a serum or spray from split ends, spray it several times daily. Prefer a professional series.
2. In the summer, hide your hair under a cap or buy a hat with wide brim. During this period, you also need to use products with a high UV filter to avoid dry hair. When visiting the solarium, wear a special hat.
3. You can use coloring pigments (persistent, semi-resistant, tonics, henna, basma) only after a month after the procedure. Otherwise, the hair will not have time to recover, which will lead them to a deplorable state. In addition, the paint will be worse kept due to the content of chemicals in the core, since the stratum corneum has not yet formed.
4. Often wear loose hair, a tail, a braid, a bun and other collected hairstyles weaken the curls and make them uneven. It is not recommended to make fleece, a similar procedure violates styling.
5. It is forbidden to wash your hair for the first three days. This time is allotted for fixing a new form of curls, the upper layer of hair is strengthened, which does not allow chemicals to be washed out of the core. Yes, the smell of ammonia is unbearable, and curls look unnatural, but you need to be patient.
6. 5 hours after visiting the salon, make a solution that is allowed to rinse your hair to begin the formation of the stratum corneum. Dilute 60 ml. vinegar in 1.5 liters of warm water, rinse the strands, but do not apply shampoo.
7. It is not recommended to use a hair dryer or curlers in the first week. Curls are not yet fully formed, by such actions you break their structure. As for the curling iron and ironing, they are prohibited forever.
8. Go to bed only with dry hair. Do not touch wet curls, do not even comb them with a flat comb. Gently collect moisture with a warm terry towel and wait until it dries completely.
9. You can not comb your hair during the day, after this time use only a comb with wide and sparse teeth. Refuse brushing and massage combs. While combing, squeeze the curls with your hands to collect curls in their original shape.
10. Once every 1.5 months, visit the hairdresser so that he cuts the cut ends. Permed hair starts to cut 60% faster. Look at the state of hair, if necessary, contact the master earlier.
11. If you often visit the sauna or bath, wear hats designed for this purpose. Each time, rinse your hair with clean running water after swimming in the sea, river, pool.
12. Buy shampoos, balms, serums, and permed hair sprays. They maintain the shape of curls and do not allow curls to disintegrate. After washing your hair, blow dry your hair with a diffuser, while setting the minimum temperature or using cold mode.
13. Discard metal clips that severely injure your hair. Give preference to soft plastic crabs or hairpins on magnets. Also, iron accessories have very sharp edges at the junction of the plates, which is doubly bad.
14. Curly curls do not dirty so quickly even with owners of oily hair, so refuse daily washing. The optimal frequency of the procedure is 1 time in 3 days.
15. If you have the opportunity, wash and dry your head in the cabin. Hairdressers are equipped with a special infrared lamp that retains its shape and does not dissolve curls into separate small locks.
