Can I wash my hair after straightening it for 48 hours?

Hair straightening is a common part of hair care. After a perm or if your hair is naturally curly, you can change your hairstyle by straightening your hair. After straightening your hair, you must be careful. It is best not to wash your hair within 48 hours, as this will easily lead to a worse straightening effect. After 48 hours, the hair has basically been shaped and you can wash your hair.

How to take care of your hair after straightening

After straightening your hair, if you want to keep the straight effect longer, you must first pay attention to protecting your straight hair in the details of daily life.

First: Do not wash your hair within three days after straightening it, because washing it too early can easily cause the straight hair to deform.

Second: When sleeping, be sure not to press your hair down. Straighten your hair before going to bed and spread it flat on both sides of your head. At the same time, try to reduce the chances of turning over so that your hairstyle can last longer.

Third: Never tie up your straightened hair. Many girls are used to tying their hair up when washing their faces, but this can easily leave rubber band marks on their hair. If you don’t want to get your hair wet, you can choose to wear a shower cap.

Fourth: After straightening your hair, wash it moderately, not too often, and certainly not too little. Generally, it is best to wash your hair every 2-3 days. At the same time, you should choose a post-perm repair and care shampoo, because straightening your hair will greatly damage the hair quality. After washing, try not to blow it with a hair dryer, but try to let it dry naturally. When shampooing, be sure to use a conditioner to care for your hair.

Fifth: If it is convenient, try to go to a professional hair salon regularly for post-perm repair care.

Sixth: After a period of time after straightening your hair, it is very likely that your hair will not be as straight as when it was just straightened. Even in this case, do not use a hair straightener to clip your hair. Because straightening the hair itself has already damaged the hair quality, and using a hair straightener to clip the hair is equivalent to a second damage to the hair. By then, the damaged hair quality may be difficult to repair.
