Just as the name suggests, a perm permanently changes the structure of your hair. It styles your hair, in such a way that it gets enough volume. At the same time, perms give a complete makeover to a person. However, despite so many advantages of this popular hair style, it does not suit everyone. There are also chances of your getting bored of it quickly. In either of the situations, you would start looking for ways to get rid of it.
Getting Rid Of Perms
Immediately After Getting the Perm
- One of the effective ways to get rid of your hair perm would be to get a head wash. However, in case of permanent perm, this would prove effective only if you have got your perm within the past 72 hours. Shampooing would help remove all the chemicals from the hair. Remember, the sooner you shampoo, the better are your chances of removing the perms.
- Once you have shampooed your hair a couple of times, it is the time to apply a deep conditioner. Make sure to go for a conditioner that has a thick texture, as it would help weigh down your curls. You would notice that the curls have become less kinky and subdued.
Sometime After the Perm
- For those that have been sporting the perm look for a couple of days, shampooing and conditioner would not prove to be effective. You can. instead, go for hot oil massage. The hot oil treatments would help you in reducing the curls.
- Hair cut is another way to get rid of perms. Trim your hair after every four weeks as it would help you remove a portion of the permed hair recurrently. With time, all the permed hair will get removed in the trimming process, leaving your hair looking just like it was earlier.
- Straightening your hair is an efficient way to get rid of a perm. In this process, the result would be a straight structure for your hair. For this, you can either go for chemical treatments (permanent straightening) or use a blow dryer/ straightening iron (temporary straightening).
