There are several styles of hair perm available on the market. Each of them utilizes a chemical solution known as ammonium thioglycolate. This chemical can be damaging to the hair and scalp. If the individual’s hair does not take well to the perm solution it may be damaged and take longer to grow back normally. The scalp may become irritated to varying degrees as well.
Getting the perm is only the first step. After you have gotten the cute and sexy new hairstyle of your dreams there are a few things to remember about maintaining it! First, wait three days before washing your hair as this should make the curls last longer. Avoid either blow drying or curling your hair after a perm. A few more tips include forgoing conditioner and allowing the hair to dry naturally. Conditioner may relax the curls, and naturally drying the hair prevents frizzing.
