You walk out of the salon feeling absolutely stunning with your fresh, bouncy digital perm waves. But forty-eight hours later, it’s time for your first home wash, and panic sets in. You wash your hair, rough-dry it with a regular towel, blow-dry it normally, and suddenly your beautiful curls turn into a giant, frizzy, undefined puffball that looks completely unstyled. You worry that your perm has washed out completely. Relax—your perm is still there; you just accidentally flattened the pattern with wrong styling habits.
 

Permed hair requires completely different physical management than straight hair. At Sense of Touch, our best hair stylist team always emphasises that a digital hot perm is a memory-wave. It needs a gentle twisting technique and diffuse airflow to lock the beautiful pattern back into shape as it dries.

FAQ

• Q1: Why do I have to wait 48 hours before washing my newly permed hair?
  • A1: Perming solutions break and reform chemical bonds. It takes up to 48 hours for those new bonds to completely oxygenate and lock into their new curly shape permanently. Washing it too early with shampoo can destabilize the bonds and cause your waves to fall out.
• Q2: Should I brush my permed hair with a regular hairbrush?
  • A2: Never use a fine-tooth brush on dry permed hair, as it will rip the curls apart and create massive frizz. Instead, only use a wide-tooth comb when your hair is wet with conditioner in the shower, and use your fingers to twist and style your locks as they dry.
