Why can’t you wash your hair after an ion perm

Some people have dry and frizzy hair. In order to make their hair soft and smooth, some people choose to do an ionic perm. However, it is not recommended to wash your hair immediately after the ionic perm. If you want to wash your hair, it is best to wash your hair after 2 days. After the ionic perm, the hairstyle has not been completely set. If you wash your hair immediately, it is easy to make the hair straight. It is best to wash your hair after two days or three days.

How many days can you wash your hair after ion perm?

Generally, you should wash your hair 3 days after the perm. In summer, you should wash your hair 2 days later. This is because you need to let the solution stay on your hair for a longer time so that the hair can absorb it well. The effect of the solution will be better, thus making your hair straighter!

Things to note after ion hair straightening

1. Don’t tie your hair after washing

2. Don’t tie your hair up for the next month. Wait until your straight hair is fixed before tying it up for the last month.

3. After washing, blow dry your hair with a hair dryer and comb it straight.

4. Straighten your hair before sleeping and don’t let it get tangled up.

5. Don't wear clothes with high collars or hoods.

Ion perm steps

So what are the steps for this magical ion perm? Let’s follow the hairdressing experts to take a look. By the way, a reminder, the whole process of ion perm for normal hair takes about two hours.

Step 1: Wash your hair with a single shampoo

Step 2: Cut out the basic outline and blow dry

Step 3: Apply negative ion perm nutrient solution to oxidize hair

Step 4: Rinse your hair with clean water and blow dry

Step 5: Apply an appropriate amount of PH hair scale oil according to hair quality

Step 6: Straighten your hair in layers using a flat iron

Step 7: Apply ion hot water

Step 8: Finally, wash your hair with shampoo

The whole process of ion perm does not damage the hair, but nourishes the hair. The effect is obvious after perming. The repair of bleached and dyed hair is different from the straightening of normal naturally curly, fluffy and dry hair. The oxidation time of bleached and dyed hair does not need to be too long. The temperature should not be too high when straightening the hair with an electric flat iron, and the amount of PH oil should not be too much. This is because bleached and dyed hair has relatively less moisture. High temperature and excessive oil will further reduce moisture and damage the hair.

The harm of ion perm

Not for everyone

Ionic perm is not suitable for everyone. It is not suitable for people with naturally straight hair that is elastic, fluffy, and has a certain curvature. Although the hair permed by ionic perm has straight lines, it is not smooth and looks a bit dull. Ionic perm is most suitable for those with naturally curly hair, a lot of hair, those who have had their hair permed, or those who pursue a super straight feeling.

Withered and yellow forked

The perming effect of ionic perm has a lot to do with the chemicals. Low-grade and inferior chemicals are particularly harmful to hair, causing it to become dry, yellow, split, and have poor smoothness. In severe cases, it can even cause hair loss.

Can easily cause hair breakage

When doing an ionic perm, you must use clips, and you should use ceramic clips to clip your hair. If you use other hairdressing tools, such as iron clips (the cost is lower than ceramic clips, and this type of clips is mostly used in small and medium-sized stores), it is easy to cause hair breakage, and the hair will not be smooth after shampooing, and it will feel dry and the hairstyle will not be easy to maintain.
