Hair perming and dyeing interval maintenance and damaged hair cleaning: A guide to hair structural repair
The interval between two perms should be six months. If the perm doesn't turn out well, don't get it permed again in a short period of time. Perming makes hair very fragile, so it's best to wait six months between perms to allow it to recover.
Do not perm or dye your hair at the same time: Both perming and dyeing are very damaging to hair. Avoid doing them simultaneously, as this will affect both the perm's results and the color's longevity. Separate the perming and dyeing sessions to keep your hair healthy.
Simple styling after shampooing: After shampooing, let your hair air dry. You can gently pat the ends of your hair dry with a towel until it's no longer dripping wet. Use your fingers to style your hair, especially creating a voluminous look at the forehead and temples.
It's best to wait two weeks after perming before dyeing your hair: You can dye your hair 3-10 days after perming, but ideally, avoid dyeing it within two weeks. Dyeing your hair immediately after perming can cause significant damage. Before using a curling iron, it's best to apply some conditioner to prevent heat damage.
Post-perm hair care and styling: The best way to style permed hair is with your hands: spread your fingers and comb downwards from your forehead to the nape of your neck, adding a gentle shaking motion to create a smooth and natural look. Do not comb your hair immediately after perming.
Cleaning hair after perming and dyeing: When shampooing, dilute the shampoo with water and rinse directly. Use shampoo twice, first a small amount on the ends and then on the roots; apply conditioner and a nourishing treatment only to the ends and mid-lengths, gently massaging for about 5 minutes each before rinsing thoroughly.
Styling hair after perming and dyeing: Pour hair wax or gel into your palm and gently massage it evenly. Focus on the hair on the temples, back, and bangs, gently rubbing it evenly from the ends upwards. Then, use a hair iron to wrap the hair and keep it for 5 minutes before removing it. If you are short on time, you can wrap the hair with your fingers for 1-2 minutes and gently pull it upwards.
Moisturizing hair after perming: It is essential to moisturize your hair frequently after perming. In your free time, you can use a moisturizing spray to wet your hair and style it with hair wax. This will help you maintain a moisturized, neat, and non-greasy look.
Steps for combing your hair after a perm: First, bend over with your head down and use your hands to comb your hair in a scrunching motion. Second, stand up and use your fingers to comb from the center of your hairline towards the back of your head. This will create a natural parting line and make the hair on top of your head more voluminous and less flat. Finally, place your hands beside your ears and gently lift your hair behind you for final touches.
