Have you ever gone out your way to get a perm, and got disappointed because the perm disappeared way too soon? If you want to make your perm last as long as possible, regular care is important. The care method is totally different from straight hair, so remembering the tips to make it last longer is the key to maintaining your hairstyle. Let’s learn and practice proper care, not the myths and rumors that are passed down online.

Do proper care before going to bed.

After washing your hair, dry it from the root to make your perm last longer. First of all, the trick is to use a towel to press it against your skin. Rubbing makes perm falls off easily, so press towel to your hair to remove excess moisture. Use hair dryer on your scalp to dry it well before sleeping.

Use coarse comb or your fingers to comb your hair.

If you use a fine comb to brush your hair, the pulling force will be too strong and it will cause the perm to stretch. Try to use a coarse comb to comb your hair. If you don’t have a coarse comb, you can also use your fingers.

A different care method from straight hair.

The first time you get a hair perm, don’t forget to buy hair products specialized for permed hair, as the hair care is totally different from straight hair. If you are exposed to UV rays too much, your perm may disappear more easily, so take appropriate measures against UV rays when you go out. However, if you wear a hat that is too tight, it may leave marks on your hair, so it’s better to use a sun umbrella instead.
