Sometimes I feel that people ask for perms because they are just unhappy with their hair all around. So, a perm seems like a great idea! Here are some things to consider…. With the right cut and a quality job you would love your hair in its natural texture. The hair feels different than it would from lightener damage or excessive exposure to heat. Should I Get A Perm? Back to Advice Column. I have a perm and I love it! However, I have no idea what shampoo to use.
Should I go with a moisturizing one or a color-safe shampoo? Also, sorry to comment on a super old post! I made the mistake of perming my hair, what a mess. Should I go ahead and just color the lower half of my hair to try to even it out when it gets more faded. Last time I touched up roots I ran dye through a left it for a while… it was better but faded fast… hope this makes sense. Redken Shades EQ. I usually wait six months or so to do anything too drastic with my hair. I have straight thin hair.
My hair is still very healthy. It depends on the brand and what kind of perm it is. Some perms are safe for color-treated hair, but I typically do not recommend it. I need a very quick advice for several meetings i have to attend, for which i want to feel confident and nice.
I am really wanting to get a perm too but I dyed my hair a little over 3 months ago also. No matter if you color your hair in the salon or at home, you risk damaging your hair.
Permitted salts and permanent hair coloring chemicals together create an extremely harsh environment for your hair — some people may just experience frizzy and dull, dried-out hair, but others may experience breakage, excessive hair loss, and even scalp irritation. Spiral perms use upright perms sticks to form cascading locks at medium to long hair. The locks last through rinsing and styling till the hair returns to its original condition.
Because permanent waves use a chemical solvent to create long-lasting locks, be careful when dyeing permed hair using synthetic colorants. Keep your hair permanently wavy before dyeing it. Never get a perm in two to three weeks after dyeing your hair. Newly dyed hair may interfere with the permanent-wave process, making your perm hiss or frizz.
Avoid handling very fragile, damaged, or falling hair with any chemical treatment coloring or permanent wave. If you darken your hair after a permanent wave, choose a semi-permanent or temporary dye to be applied the same day of the perm, assuming your hair and scalp are in good health, because blacking out your hair with a temporary dye will most likely not hurt your hair.
Although semi-permanent hair color claims to last a few weeks, it can last a little longer on freshly permed hair because it absorbs more dye, especially if you use a shade deeper than your original color.
If you color your hair at home, perform a strand test as indicated on the package, as freshly permed hair may require a shorter working time compared to natural hair. Care your hair carefully about coloring to avoid damage. It is recommended that you should delay dyeing for a period of 10 days or more after the permanent wave in order to darken the hair with a permanent or ammonia-based hair colorant. Try your hair for indications of harm before dyeing and make a strand check-up to establish the duration of treatment when coloring your hair in your home.
As you wait 10 days to dye your hair, apply a hydrating shampoo to your hair, and then apply a deep conditioner within 24 to 48 hours after the perm.
Doing so is helpful in decreasing fractures, that may be worsened by using an ammonia-based pigment.
If you would like to highlight or brighten up your spiral locks, we recommend giving it a minimum of 10 days. Because chemicals in the permanent wave treatment can harm your hair in the same way as whiteners or bleaches do, attempting to brighten your hair sooner may harm your hair to the extent of loosening or fracturing it.
In addition, the lightening treatment can interrupt a new perm, which can diminish or loosen your locks and spoil the value of your investment in a perm. Cut off the affected ends and deeply condition your hair before and after coloring.
Do not try to radically lighten hair that has just received a fresh perm. Start by lightening or emphasizing hair that is no more than three to four shades lighter than your original color. The harsh chemicals and extended working time required to dramatically lighten hair can damage hair that has been previously treated with chemicals.
If your hair has been damaged by the perm or is dry or frizzy, contact your salon for a protein or conditioning session to improve the look and feel of your hair. You should avoid lightening or brightening your hair unless the condition of your hair is better. Think about a shorter hairstyle or let your hair continue to grow for several months and let your hair recover from chemical processes in case of hair breakage or hair loss.
Only time and renewed growth can fully restore the effects caused by excessive chemical processes. During this time, continue to use good hair care products that are designed for your hair type.
You can change to a color protection shampoo if you want. Some colors, like reds, are harder to keep vibrant and color protection shampoo can help. You are ready to perm you hair. Perming chemicals are harsh. Leave the perming solution on for only as long as the directions indicate. Don't wash or wet your hair for 48 hours after your perm while the perm "sets. Remember, your perm will last until it is cut out of your hair, but your color will have to be re-done about every five to six weeks.
