Buy professional products, the ones hairdressers use. Schwarzkopf Bonacure for example.

I also have had permed hair for like 2 years. And it has been quit difficult to find products I enjoy. I personally also mostly only use shampoo+conditioner, but I also have a great curling cream.

Curling cream I use is from Rossmann: Haarliebe Curl&Shine Lockencreme.

If you can spend more I love the brand Phyto. The nutrition shampoo and conditioner for dry, very dry hair. The conditioner is pretty special in my opinion. It makes the hair feel very thick (thicker than any conditioner I have tested) and defines my curls very well.

On a normal budget I enjoyed the DM brand "Langhaarmädchen" Beautiful curls line a lot. I used the conditioner and shampoo. The conditioner makes your hair pretty silky. Has great ingredients. (But personally like the Phyto stuff more)

On a low budget I can advice to get the conditioner M:C Herbal Conditioner / Kräuter Azid. This is literally used by many salons and it is around 8€ for 1l and pretty amazing for all hair. Def a great conditioner, which I never have seen being recommended.

Also def buy a bonnet, so your hair is protected while sleeping.

you can use anything sulfate/paraben free. if you’re willing to spend a decent amount, oribe is an excellent brand. it’s paraben & sulfate free, smells amazing, and has a line for curls. you could also look into living proof. if you’re looking for something less pricey i’d go for OGX’s coconut curls line (natural ingredients and pretty good—my boyfriend has a perm and this is what he uses).

Diva curl. Comb with a wide tooth comb in shower. Use a tshirt to dry you hair but only very little. And dry but scrunching it very little. Then apply Deva curl product. Alow to dry naturally. Then scrunch while drying. And then either wear it that way ans by second day they are perfect or break the curl that day bh scrunching and doing a crumbling motion with your hair. Diva curl is a product a line not a specific product. You can decide what one you would like to use. They are all great product.

Shea moisture! They have a lot of moisturising products containing natural ingredients. Check out naturally curly on youtube. I’ve heard the shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie is a ride or die.

Color WOW has a lot of really great products for colored curly/wavy hair

Kirsten ess shampoo and conditioner in pink bottles two to three times a week. Occasionally the NatureLab repair shampoo and conditioner. I apply the conditioner and let it sit then use a wet brush to detangle then rinse. I use the CurlSmith anti frizz multi task leave in conditioner in the shower then wrap my hair in a turban. I use a pik to gently detangle then apply Maui moisture coconut foam and brush through with bounce curls brush and scrunch. I refresh with Eve NYC refresh spray or curlsmith refresh spray and Eve or curlsmith wave spray. I have dense fine hair and gel just doesn’t work well for me.

Leave in conditioner. Right after you washed and dried your hair.

I also came here to say Olaplex #3. It’s a game changer for me. Every time I’m going to wash my hair (1x/week) I put it in the night before and then rinse it out the next morning followed by washing/conditioning. Be wary of buying it on Amazon though a lot of people claim it’s not the real product. Sephora sells it for the same price as Amazon

Olaplex #3, Davines NouNou conditioner, Joico K-Pak shampoo and conditioner, Purology Strength shampoo and conditioner.

Olaplex! I've fried my natural brunette hair by dying it blonde for years. Olaplex has saved my hair, and I keep up the blonde. Try their entire system - expensive but it works!

I use Wella T18 toner. It gets the orange out, but can damage too. I just went through that again, of many times. And just keep deep conditioning.it. You can get the toner at Sally's and developer. I'd ask them for deep conditioning suggestions. Good luck. Don't worry, it'll be ok.

Just no more chemicals if you do the toner for a while. I've melted mine with African (American straightener 2 times. Be careful.)

Vatika black seed mask

Aveda botanical repair. I use the shampoo, conditioner, leave in conditioner, and styling crème. I smoosh/plop/scrunch my hair with a tshirt and then let it air dry. It took my frizzy bleached curly hair and turned it back into ringlets.

Olaplex! Especially the oil (#7 I think)

K18

This is not the advice I'm asking for unfortunately. I'm getting the perm. Just looking for relevant information on curly haircare and other people's routines.

I got my 4th perm* this time last year and still have curls going on! I used Curl Defining Shampoo & Conditioner by ion (got them from Sally Beauty). Then when it’s still damp I apply Design Essentials Curl Enhancing Mousse and let it air dry. On subsequent days I’ll spray it with Eva NYC Curl Reviving Mist. I also have fine hair & no chemical treatments in it prior to the perm and am really happy with my choice. Have fun!!

4th over the course of like 15 years- not one after another lol

DO NOT PERM YOUR HAIR

I'd ask your stylist. They know your hair better than anyone else here. As a hairdresser I can't stand the "advice" here sometimes from people who have no idea what they're talking about but think they know more than us. But your stylist will have great recommendations for maintenance!

Your hair is gorgeous as in and the perm is going to fry your fine hair.

You have gorgeous hair already. How curly are you going? It will be amazing!

Briogeo banana coconut duo, Briogeo kiwi mask, k18, Ouai detox shampoo, and olaplex no. 6.

I really like the Oribe Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil!

Amika Soulfood Hair Mask, Amika Holy Hydration leave in conditioner, Drybar Money Maker hairspray, Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curly Magic curl gel

IGK first class, olaplex hair conditioner, living proof phd hair spray. And I don't use oils even though I'd really like to. My hair is super oily naturally, or my scalp rather.

Purology hydrate shampoo and conditioners + the leave in conditioner. Ouai fine hair mask. Colour wow heat protecting thing too

Edit also: Ouai hair oil and jvn pre shower scalp oil.
