Maintaining a perm – 9 clever tips to follow!

 

Can Hair Care Tips Be a Lifesaver? For example, do you know how to take care of your perm? Of course not: there is a certain joke in the expression “life saving tips”! But actually at the same time an absolutely genuine and well-intentioned warning. Frizzy hair is beautiful and it can make you look very different and very attractive! Ladies with curls are a rarity on the European continent. After all, the proportion of them is less than 20%. So a hairstyle with curls is always worth it. But a lot can go wrong with a perm. You can ruin your hair completely and of course that would be an absolute drama for any woman. In addition, the result could be very different from what was imagined. Instead of the desired casual waves, sometimes spiral curls come about, or vice versa. Only a very good hairdresser and very careful care can guarantee you the look you want in the long term. If something goes wrong, it can take years before you have beautiful hair again. So do you want to learn how to take care of the perm? Then read on!

Perm Care Tip #1: Get your curls done by the right stylist

For a perm, you definitely need to visit a proven stylist. Under no circumstances should you do this yourself at home. Also, don’t trust anyone that easily. The person who will do your perm should have very good references. In addition, you should use suitable hair cosmetics for this hairstyle. Some products are now very gentle on the hair and even care for it. They contain a number of great care oils. If you don’t want to take any risks, you could try perming just a few sections of your hair first. What do you think of effective strands on the side of the face? That would be a great idea for the current curtain bangs anyway. You can recognize a good stylist, among other things, by the fact that they give you easy-to-understand tips on which care products you need and how to properly care for your perm.

For some women, perms look really natural!

Grooming tip #2: What kind of curls do you prefer?

The type of perm and its care are very closely related. Larger waves often look a lot more natural than small curls and are easier to maintain. However, if you want a real change, go for curls! Especially women with dark hair will achieve an exotic Afro, southern European or Latino look. Sometimes the perm looks so natural that you wouldn’t believe you had straight hair! However, this requires very careful and regular maintenance. In addition, over time, the problem arises that the hair looks different in the roots and in length. It takes a lot of styling effort to keep your hair looking good even during the transitional stages. You learn that over time, but there is a period of getting used to it. Are you ready for this?

Care tip # 3: The right care starts from day one!

If you have healthy, strong and untreated hair, a professionally done perm will be fabulous at first! There are also other advantages for fine and quickly greasy hair. The roots get greasy much more slowly than before and you have the volume you so longed for. In the beginning, the ends of the hair usually look great and lively on their own. That’s why you often neglect to care for them with a suitable cream for curls. However, if you leave out this and the conditioner, the appearance of the hair will deteriorate in the long run. After a few weeks, the ends of the hair are dry and full of split ends. At this point you are already in trouble. You’ll likely need to drastically cut your hair back and have many professional hairdresser treatments done. This is the only way to make the perm look beautiful again. So better take care of your hair right from the start.

Care tip #4: The right hairstyle is related to care

There are different hairstyles and they have different maintenance requirements! You need to be realistic about your styling skills. If you’re the impatient type, you need something simple. If you are clumsy with the styling products and the use of the hair dryer, this has negative consequences. You could put extra strain on your hair and ruin it. In this case, it is better to choose an undone hairstyle or another more casual style. So you don’t have to spend so much time styling because the imperfections look charming.

Tip #5: Half straight, half curly hair? What now!?

Well, when it comes to perms, you initially underestimate the topic of caring for a perm! At some point you have straight hair at the roots and curls in the lower parts of your hair. However, these look more and more like waves. Is this a problem? It doesn’t have to be if you take really good care of your perm!

Tip #6: Correct styling with curl cream

At the beginning of this article we described the correct use of the curl cream. Is it that time that you already have half straight, half wavy hair? Then you should simply take a little more of the styling product than before. This not only provides moisture. The curl cream has the ability to freshen up your perm and shape it. Basically, during this phase, it is best to style your hair in the evening. If you apply the cream before going to bed, then in the morning your curls will look naturally alive. In between you have to add some of the product to the tips.

Tip #7: Different trendy hairstyles

At the moment, bob hairstyles with layers, undercuts and bangs are all the rage. They allow a variety of casual styling that makes your hair look wild. This will be masked in large part by the contrast between the curly and straight sections.

The perm strongly emphasizes the charm of many women!

Grooming tip #8: Charming updos and braids

Braids and various updos look very interesting if your hair is only partially curled. Many women resort to perms because they want more volume in the roots. You could just pin up the top sections of hair. This works with long hairstyles as well as with the trendy bobs just listed. In the first case, you can tie the upper part of the hair at the back of the head. In the other you have a wide scope for different solutions.

Care tip #9: How often should you get a perm?

This is largely a matter of taste! You can often do this with the help of professional hairdressers who take good care of your hair. There is a way to apply the perm only to the roots. This could be done every 3-4 months to keep the hair looking even. But you can only perm your hair once every six months or even once a year. What you gain with this strategy is a lot of variety. The structure of the curls changes and over time you have different proportions of waves and straight hair. This means you always have a reason for a new hairstyle or new styling!

Finally, we would like to draw your attention once again to the very good care of your hair! This is absolutely crucial, especially if you have fine hair. You can find out more about this topic at the following link!
