How is hair permed?
The hair perm is done by remodeling the hair with ammonia thioglycolate and using accessories suitable for the procedure. This causes the hair's natural structure to break and a new one is formed, so the keratin “swells” making the strand more malleable and so it can be curled. Right after this process, another product is used to stop this reaction, making the curls permanent.

How to care for perm hair?
The procedure requires some care before and after it is done. Damaged, brittle, dry and opaque strands will not withstand the process, so it will be necessary to take care of them until they are healthy enough, as the perm is made with chemical substances. The process will cause the loss of nutrients, proteins and amino acids from the strands and if they are weakened, a chemical cut can occur, leading to breakage of the entire hair.
After it is done, common care is needed such as hydration, nutrition and hair reconstruction. Nothing that is not already important in the day-to-day care of the yarn. Other chemical procedures cannot be done for a while after the perm. Dizziness, discoloration or other procedures can only be done after an interval of at least 15 days and still, it can be a risk.
Choose a professional who already has a good history with this type of procedure to avoid the result not being as desired.
