How to take care of a perm?
The perm, what is it?
A technique for curling hair that, as the name itself implies, is permanent. It is carried out in a beauty salon by professionals.
Once curly, the hair remains curly until it is cut. It is possible to make a retouch when the regrowth reaches a minimum length of 15 cm.
To be avoided
The perms on bleached, henna-colored or chemically straightened hair are to be categorically avoided.
