After perm often wash hair is not curly? When I heard such questions, I was also surprised! I think you must have been fooled. You must have been misled. If you wash your hair, the perm will turn straight, then who will dare to perm their hair?

Perming hair is a complicated chemical process, and curling hair is permanent and won't be straightened by washing. But the perm will definitely increase the curl, but it's not as if the hair will grow and become straight after a few washes.

Normally, a perm will last for at least three to six months, which means it takes a couple of years for the curl to completely disappear from the perm. Unless you cut it off, the curl will stay there, but it just gets bigger and bigger.

If you don't, in a few years your hair may dry close to straight, but you'll still see curls after shampooing. Therefore, shampoo is impossible to let the hair become straight, unless it was not ironing, curl elasticity is very weak, will soon become straight, but this straightening is not the problem of washing hair, is not ironing lead to.

Many of my friends have just had their hair permed and their hairdresser will tell them to wait 48 hours to wash their hair. The goal is that the internal structure of freshly permed hair is unstable, and frequent shampooing will affect the elasticity of the curl, but it will never straighten the curl.

The only way to change the shape and color of your hair is through perms and hair dyes. It is impossible to distort or discolor hair with other forms of chemicals. Moreover shampoo this kind of weak alkaline daily necessities, more unlikely to affect the shape of the hair, also absolutely won't let the hair that has been permed become straight.

The length of time that perm keeps, have a relationship with hair quality, have a relationship with the volume size that irons, have a relationship with the technology of the barber, have a relationship with the quality of perm posterity, only have a relationship with shampoo and shampoo without a dime.

Under normal circumstances, the large volume than the small volume to maintain a short time, soft damaged hair quality than coarse hard healthy hair quality to maintain a short time, high quality perm water than ordinary perm water to maintain a short time (because the quality of the potion is soft, pay attention to the health of the hair, so relative to the ordinary potion, maintain a slightly shorter time), Different standards for hairdressers to soften hair also affect the durability of the curl.

Soften too light hair for example, the time to maintain will be short. But softening is excessive, although curl maintains time for a long time, but qualitative damage degree is bigger to hair. Below the condition that guarantees hair is qualitative and healthy, curl control is in 6 months or so effect is best, harm to hair qualitative is lesser so, although again hot also won't have too big effect. If the perm is too curly, the ends will become dry and frizzy when the hair is permed again, and the elasticity will be very poor.

So, the person that pursues hair quality health won't care too much about the persistence that perm curly hair, and the person that the pursuit curls persistence, hair is qualitative mostly not very good. However, after spending several hours and hundreds of dollars on a perm, you don't want to straighten your hair quickly, so if you want to keep your curly hair for a longer time, you can take care of it in the following ways to make the curl last longer and make your hair healthier with less damage.

1, curly hair to reduce the use of electric curling rod or splint, because frequent use of these electric heating hair tools, will weaken the curl elasticity and durability;

2, reduce the frequency of the hair dryer blowing, natural drying can be blown, blowing modeling is very hurt hair, but also very hurt roll;

3. When washing hair, it is best to use washing and care products that do not contain silicone oil, because this kind of product can balance the ph of the hair well, make the hair more shiny and elastic, and the curl can last longer;

4. Do hair film treatment at least once a week to supplement the nutrition of hair and prolong the durability of curl;

5, after shampoo, apply a little hair care oil, can not only protect the hair, but also increase the gloss and elasticity, but also make the curl more stylish;

6. For cold perm hair, it is best to use elastic element or foam wax after shampoo. These styling products can not only make the curl curl more, but also make the curl stay longer.

This is after perm, curl to maintain some knowledge of the length of time, I hope to clarify for you.

The final conclusion: ① After perm often shampoo is not to wash the curl straight, because shampoo can only clean the hair, and can not change the shape of the hair; (2) The curling becomes straight after perm, mainly because it is not hot, or other reasons, and shampoo has nothing to do with; ③ Choose silicone oil-free washing and care products, with some essential oils or elastin, but also to keep the curl for a longer time.Read more at:https://www.formaldressau.com/
