I have a lot of hair; it’s shoulder length, coarse, african-american hair. I’m planning on getting it relaxed and straightened at a salon. I was wondering, since I haven’t had my hair done in a salon since I was 7-8, how long it will last?
Thanks:)
to figure out how to pick a perm first of all, ur supposed to take a strand of ur hair from your head. if it has a z pattern, use a perm for course hair and if its a s pattern, use a perm for medium hair. but other then that, usually perms last 2-3 months. i personally suggest try to perm your hair after about 4 months and ONLY PERM THE NEW GROWTH. if you perm hair thats already been permed it wont be good, its overprocessing and it WILL break off your hair. you want to keep the ends cliped only if theyre split though. and if your hair is shoulder length, to get it to grow after the perm ur supposed to wear it up in ponytails b.c. if its shoulder length it will brush up against your clothing causing it to break off. i know. ive been there. hope this help! good luck girl!! hope u like your new hair! lol
