How Long Does a Perm Last?
Perms are amazing and can transform your image.
The one drawback is the grow out processits never graceful and often requires a chop.
However, if you opt for a texture service, those are great because they fade away.
I love this option because clients dont feel overly committed.
A texture service can be fun for summer and then fade itself away.
Who does a Perm Work for?
Perms can actually work on all types of hair.
Have your color done first, Picciano says.
Making sure you and your hairstylist are on the same page first is crucial.
How to Maintain a Perm
To extend the life of your perm, avoid over-washing.
A daily rinse and condition is okay but shampoo every third day for the best longevity and result.
Also, take caution when heat styling.
Always use a diffuser to dry it and never blow dry it straight.
Constant flat ironing on certain textures will weaken the perm at a faster rate, Josh says.
