Perms are a hair styling technique to permanently keep your hair in a certain style for a while. You can get a perm to keep your hair straight or add curls to your hair. One thing to note about perms is that you should avoid getting a perm if you just recently colored or highlighted your hair since added chemicals will weaken your hair. Therefore, the perm may not hold as well. Perms can also lighten the color of your hair. There are two types of perms you can get when at the salon, a hot or cold perm. A hot perm will use a relaxing treatment, along with heated curling rods to add curls or waves to your hair. A cold perm, however, starts with a soaking of your hair in an alkaline compound and then curls are added through tight rollers. Getting a perm will take multiple hours. A hot perm will give you a more natural look and can be less damaging to your hair. On the other hand, a cold perm will curl closer to your roots and works with almost any hair type. If you want to keep your perm looking fresh you should get it redone every three to four months.

After receiving your perm, you need to practice care at home to maintain the perm. To maintain healthy curls, you should practice deep conditioning. To make sure your curls or straightening have time to set, you should wait at least two to three days before washing your hair. When you get a perm, you should also avoid blow drying, curling, or straightening your hair since heat is not great for it. Chlorinated water is also bad for perms, so you should avoid getting your hair wet when swimming in a pool. Finally, as noted before, you should avoid dyes, coloring, and highlights if you want your perm to last.
