How to take care of a perm
- Never shampoo everyday. Always use perm-friendly shampoos and conditioners.
- When you dry hair, use a diffuser or air dry it.
- Product application is key. Make sure to apply in sections. Gels create a tighter curls, while lotions and mousses tend to produce a looser curl.
- Never brush your hair when it it’s dry. Comb it with a wide-toothed comb.
- When you go to sleep, clip up the hair so it doesn’t get messed up.
- Wrap hair VERY LOOSELY in a towel to remove excess water before styling but DO NOT RUB.
