Maintaining a perm requires consistent care to keep those waves looking fresh and vibrant. Here are the top tips to take care of your perm for lasting waves:
- Avoid Washing Too Soon: Wait at least 48 hours after getting your perm before washing your hair to let the curls set properly.
- Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo: Sulfates can strip your hair of natural oils, leading to dry and frizzy curls.
- Condition Regularly: Keep your curls hydrated by using a rich conditioner every time you wash your hair.
- Limit Heat Styling: Excessive heat can damage permed hair. If you must use heat, always apply a heat protectant spray.
- Get Regular Trims: Trim your hair every 6-8 weeks to prevent split ends and maintain the shape of your curls.
- Sleep on Satin: Use a satin pillowcase or wear a satin bonnet to reduce friction and keep your curls intact.
