A perm is a chemical process that alters the hair follicle. They work best on healthy hair, so try to ensure your hair is in top condition before you book your perm appointment, and avoid using heated styling tools in the days leading up to your perm.

Not entirely. The best thing to do is to wait for it to grow out. Frequent micro trims will speed up this process, as can washing it regularly and using a deep conditioning mask to weigh your permed curls down. If you want a more immediate solution, your hairstylist can apply a creme perm to help relax and undo the curls.

A hair perm (permanent wave) is a chemical treatment that restructures the hair's bonds to create long-lasting waves or curls. Modern perms range from tight spiral curls to loose beach waves, and can be tailored to your desired texture and hair type.

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.

A perm typically lasts 3–6 months, though this varies based on hair type, the perm technique used, and how well it's maintained. Using sulphate-free shampoo and curl-specific products helps preserve the results.
