How to take care of permed hair?

To take care of permed hair, follow these best practices:

1. Wait before washing: Allow your hair to set for at least 48 hours after getting a perm before washing it.
2. Use gentle shampoo and conditioner: Choose products without sulfates, silicones, or alcohol, as these can be harsh for permed hair. Moisturizing and nourishing hair care items are recommended.
3. Avoid heat styling: Reduce the use of heat styling tools (e.g., blow-dryers, straighteners, or curlers) to prevent further damage to the chemically treated hair. If you must, use a heat protection spray and a diffuser when blow-drying.
4. Don't brush your hair while wet: After washing, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle, starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots to prevent breakage.
5. Get regular trims: Regularly trim your hair every six to eight weeks to keep your permed style fresh and prevent split ends.
6. Keep it loose: Avoid drawing hair up into tight hairstyles like ponytails or buns that can disrupt the perm's pattern and potentially cause damage.
7. Protect from sun and UV rays: Use a light scarf or hat, or a zinc-based leave-in conditioner to protect your hair from sun damage.
8. Use leave-in conditioners: If you want to avoid frequent chemical treatments, opt for natural and organic leave-in conditioners.
9. Sleep on a silk pillowcase: Silk pillowcases are recommended for minimizing hair tangling during sleep and reducing frizz.
10. Find hair care for your specific hair type: Tailor your hair care routine for your hair type (e.g., dry, oily, brittle, or volumeless) to ensure your perm stays healthy and provides optimal results.

Remember to handle permed hair gently, using the right products, and treating it with care to maintain the style and protect against damage.
