You shouldn’t stand with your head directly under the shower for 2 days, nor should you wash your hair with shampoo for 2 to 3 days (48-72 hours) after you’ve had your perm. It’s also advisable not to use swimming pools or hot tubs for a week (7 days) after perming your hair because the chemicals in the water can affect the structure of your hair follicles. Brushing your hair and using heated styling tools are also no-nos for 48 hours after you’ve had a perm; and colouring should be avoided for 3-7 days.

A traditional perm creates uniform curls using cold wave solution. A digital (hot) perm uses heated rods and a different chemical process to create softer, more natural-looking waves that look best when dry. Digital perms tend to work better on Asian hair textures.

It depends on the length of your hair. Perms on short, frequently cut hair tend to last 3-4 months; perms on longer hair can last 6-8 months.

If carried out by a professional, a perm should not cause any damage to your hair.

The cost varies from salon to salon, but in the Downtown area, you’re likely to pay between $95 and $250.
