How Do You Wash Permed Hair For The First Time?
It is recommended to wait at least 48 hours before washing permed hair for the first time. When washing, use a mild shampoo and be gentle while lathering and rinsing. Do not rub or scrub the hair as it may cause tangling or loosen the curls. Use a conditioner specifically designed for permed hair and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing. Avoid using hot water and instead, use lukewarm water to prevent damage to the hair and curls. Lastly, gently towel-dry or air-dry the hair and avoid using heat styling tools until the curls have settled.
