Can I use conditioner when washing my hair before doing an ion perm

In many hair salons, we use ionic perm to perm hair. But everyone knows that no matter how good the effect of ionic perm is, it will cause certain damage to our hair. In order to reduce this kind of damage, many friends will use some conditioner before ion perm, but they are worried that it will affect the effect of ion perm. So, can I use conditioner when washing my hair before doing an ionic perm?

1. Ion perm is not something you can do casually

1. Not suitable for everyone: Industry insiders remind that ionic perm is not suitable for everyone. Naturally straight hair is elastic, fluffy and has a certain curvature; although the hair that has been permed has straight lines, it is not smooth and looks a bit dull. Ion perm is most suitable for those who have naturally curly hair, extra thick hair, have had their hair permed, or those who pursue a super straight look.

2. Ionic perm will damage hair: Experts point out that any kind of ionic perm will definitely damage hair, and it is impossible to straighten hair without damaging it. Because ionic perm achieves its effect by changing the hair structure, only by destroying the hair first can a new structure be rebuilt.

3. Adding nutrients will not make the hair straight: Some hair salons claim that the nutrients in post-perm care or ion perm solutions can protect the hair from damage caused by perming. In fact, adding nutrients will make the hair less straight. The cuticle tissue structure of damaged hair after perming has been destroyed, so the hair becomes frizzy and dry. Care can only supplement nutrition to the hair that lacks nutrition, but cannot change the hair cuticle structure.

2. You must see clearly when doing ion perm

1. About the solution of ionic perm: The perming effect of ionic perm has a lot to do with the solution. Low-quality and counterfeit hair products are extremely harmful to your hair, causing it to become dry, yellow, split, and unsmooth. In severe cases, they can even cause hair loss.

There are hundreds of different kinds of ionic perm solutions in the hairdressing market. But there is a relatively simple way to identify it: good potion has high viscosity, is transparent, has a certain glossiness, and a soft smell; bad potion has poor glossiness, feels turbid, and some even have odors. In addition, the quality of medicines that are written entirely in foreign languages ​​and have no Chinese labels or incomplete labels (factory name, address, production date, expiration date, etc.) must be carefully identified. It is reported that imported products through formal channels will have Chinese instructions and Chinese labels; the original ion perm solution imported into the country is very limited.

2. About the clips for ionic perm: When doing ionic perm, you must use clips, and you should use ceramic clips to clamp 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.

3. Regarding the level of technicians in ion perm: the level of technicians can affect the effect of ion perm more than the quality of the solution. Taking the above splint as an example, the key to this process is skill, and the technician's gestures and strength are very important. In addition, how to determine the different softening times and degrees according to different hair qualities also depends on the technician. Therefore, experts advise consumers that if they want to have an ionic perm, they must carefully choose a hair salon, otherwise they will damage their hair instead of making it beautiful.

Hair care after hair perm

After ion perm, the hair will feel light and refreshed, but over time, the sequelae of ion perm will slowly appear, such as: dryness, split ends, easy breakage... Therefore, you should also learn how to care for your hair after ion perm.

1. Daily home care: There is a layer of hair scales on the surface of hair, which not only has the function of protecting hair, but also has the function of transporting nutrients. However, ionic perm will peel off the hair scales from the surface of the hair, damaging the hair scales and making the hair brittle. Experts suggest that in order to maintain beautiful hair, in addition to regular hair care, daily home care is also important.

2. Choose moisturizing products for shampoo and conditioner: It is very important to use conditioner after using shampoo every day, because conditioner contains cations. When yin and yang are in harmony, the hair scales will naturally return to normal state, and the hair line will be naturally beautiful. People who are used to using conditioner must use it continuously. People who are not used to using conditioner can choose more moisturizing shampoo products.

3. Use amino acid nutrition: If your hair has just been permed, you can choose amino acid products that can repair keratin. When your hair recovers to a stronger state, you can use natural shampoos containing natural vitamin B5, hot oil hair care ingredients, or natural shampoos with similar ingredients to hair.
