You can also look for shampoos that are designed to repair hair damage.
Always use cool or warm water, not hot, so you don’t dry out your hair.
Remember to read through the ingredients list and choose a leave-in conditioner with healthy oils, glycerin, fatty acids, and protein like keratin.
Plan on doing a moisturizing hair mask once a week to improve the health of your hair over time. Rub most of the mask into the middle and ends of your hair rather than into your roots since these areas are probably more damaged from the perm.
Use a wide comb to gently work the oil through your hair from root to tip. You can do the warm oil treatment once a month until your hair looks smooth and healthy again.
Struggling to skip the shampoo session? Apply a dry shampoo product to your roots if you feel like your hair is greasy or oily. Aim to wash your hair 2 to 3 times a week.
Plan on using a detangling product every time you wash your hair. Consider it an extra line of defense from future damage!
Don’t rub your hair vigorously with a towel to dry it since this creates friction that makes your hair frizzy. Instead, wrap or blot your hair with a cotton T-shirt.
You’ll protect your permed hair from even more heat damage.
If you have to use a blow dryer or heat source to do your hair, put it on the coolest temperature setting.
Not sure if your hair is healthy enough to dye? Ask your hairstylist for their opinion or play it safe and wait until your hair feels as soft and strong as it used to.
Follow up with extra conditioning if you’re outside for a while. Between the heat and the sun, your hair will probably be even dryer than usual.
Although you can do this yourself, it might be easier to ask a friend to help you trim the back of your hair.
