There are things that you must keep in mind before getting a perm.

Women Perm is done by the use of chemicals and heat so you can set the hair to a particular style. Some choose subtle waves while others choose big curls. This has become a bold expression for women of their beauty and independence. 

For traditional women perm, the stylist will wrap hair strands on a rod and add perming lotion to set the curls. Once the perming lotion has set on the hair, the stylist will wash and dry the hair. Then apply a neutralizer to halt the perming process.

Modern women perm is a little different than a traditional perm. Instead of using curl rods, modern perm uses fabric or rollers to create a wave or curls. Modern perms help to enhance the natural texture of your hair.

There may be a lot of questions in your head when you have decided to get a perm. I am here to help you with most of the common questions asked by a first-timer. A perming session can take up to 2 to 3 hours. So, better be prepared to sit in the salon for a few hours. The next question in your mind is “How long does a perm last?” For short hair, a perm will last about 3 to 4 months. For longer hair, it can last about 6 to 8 months. Taking care of your perm is a must to make it stay longer. Always air dry your perm and use a wide-tooth comb when combing. Moisturize your hair and opt for a hydrating and strengthening hair product.
