I just read your post and looked it up because I was curious and the consensus seems to be wash it only once a week, and when you get it done, wait 48 hours before your first wash.

I've never had one before, but I thought it might help you!

Use curly hair products because your hair has been physically changed to a curly texture! I have straight hair and got a digital perm, kept up with my straight hair routine and it destroyed my hair. Started using products meant for curly hair and it worked! Also never brush your perm, use a wide toothed comb and try and avoid brushing (especially in the beginning month or so)

I had it done many years ago and enjoyed it very much. What I remember most is that it took so many hours to do!

Elle Woods told us that the first cardinal rule of perm maintenance is that you're forbidden to wet your hair for the first 24 hours after getting a perm at the risk of deactivating the ammonium thioglycolate. That and happy people just don't go around killing people.

Yes you can wet it. Add leave in conditioner and/or or a little regular hair conditioner to your hair and scrunch. It will redefine the curl and moisturize it as well

1. Appropriate use of shampoo, especially with harsh detergents - not liquid directly from the bottle! Take empty container, put some shampoo -  a little bit, a lot of water, shake. Wash scalp with that "mix", massage and wash off.
2. Moisturizing conditioner/mask every week, used below ears. Comb hair through, it will make better use of product.
3. Try to avoid the strongest detergents like Sulfates: Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate

Sodium Myreth Sulfate

Sodium Coco-Sulfate

Ammonium Laureth Sulfate

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate

Ethyl PEG-15 Cocamine Sulfate

Use them every 2-3 weeks only to wash.

4. Use hair dryer with dyfusor, not too hot air.
5. Last but not least- use comb with wide tooth not paddle brush. And do that only when hair are about 70% dry. So a little dump.

Hello do you have snapchat or something I have a question

I’ve had permed hair and was in competitive swimming which required washing my hair daily, so daily rinsing with fresh water should be perfectly fine. I always made a point to use a leave-in conditioner and deep condition regularly and my hair was very healthy.

Stylist here... you can wet it and style it with product, but don't wash for at least 48 hours. You said you're at 3 days so you're good. If you run into trouble styling, look into the curly girl method styling techniques. You can use conditioner in between washes to keep it moisturized , but shampooing once a week should be good. Perms tend to dry it out. If your products are silicone free use a sulfate free shampoo, but It would be good to use a sulfate shampoo 1 or 2 times a month to help remove product build up. However, if your products or conditioner contain silicones, you should be using a sulfate shampoo period so that the silicones don't cause build up

As long as you treat your permed hair with care ( it has been through a lot to get to that result), wetting and conditioning is fine.

Generally the ‘do not wet perm’ is for the first 24-72 hrs to avoid damage to the hair fibers right after the perm process.

When you get a perm, you aren't supposed to wash it for 2 days, it will relax the curls. After that it's perfectly fine to wet your hair. If you are using a blow dryer, use a diffuser so your hair doesn't become frizzy.

If it’s a loose perm I would wait at least 24 hours. But after that you can. Just scrunch it with a towel real good. It will curl back up.

I can’t see the picture, just a black box, anyone else having this issue or is this a me thing?

With perms, I have to make the initial perm curlier than I wanted so it will relax to the desired curl.

Good product for a cast , gell and mouse , after dry add a curl cream to finish the look when you break the cast

Depends on your hair type. I have fine dense hair. I wash 2-3x a week with the kirsten ess regular shampoo. I apply conditioner (sane brand) and let it sit then I comb and detangle it with a wet brush and rinse the conditioner out. I then squeeze water out and apply a leave in conditioner and put it a wrap for a few minutes. I use a pick to loosely detangle it then apply curlsmith curl cream and Maui moisture curl foam and brush with the BounceCurl define brush and scrunch. I usually air dry. If I can’t, use a diffuser. My curls look better air dried. In the morning I refresh with EveNYC refresh spray or curlsmith refresh spray and apply either EveNYC or curlsmith wave spray. Between washes I use kirsten ess dry shampoo, usually at bedtime. I don’t use a bonnet. I use a silk pillowcase.

Hey just had my first perm done, I'm leaving it now till 2 days time then il wash it carefully is that OK? And should I use a split end oil for my perm

Can you give me like a weekly what to do?

I was thinking

Monday deep clean wash with leave in con Tuesday dry shampoo (oil? Leave in??) Wed dry shampoo (oil? Leave in??) Thursday - regular wash with leave in conditioner Friday dry shampoo (oil? Leave in??) Sat - regular wash with leave in conditioner Sunday - dry shampoo (oil? Leave in??)

It’s long after the post but how often/how much did you cut off for hair maintenance/trims to cut off dead ends

So the first 48 hours Im probably gonna have frizzy hair and look like a douchebag right

can i mist with water or use oil to refresh in the first few days
