How long does it take before you can wash your hair after perming it

Girls love to be beautiful and most of them like to perm their hair. Changing their hairstyle can greatly change their mood. Some girls always feel that there is a smell in their hair after perming it. They want to wash it to get rid of the strange smell, but they are worried that it will mess up their hair. So, how long should we wait before washing our hair after perming it? How should we take care of permed hair?

1. How long can you wash your hair after perming?

Do not wash your hair within three days after dyeing or perming it. If you wash your hair immediately after dyeing it, it will cause hair fading, and the effect and purpose of dyeing will not be achieved. However, even if you follow the principle of "you can wash your hair within a few days after dyeing it", the color will fade over time, but the hair that has just been dyed does not completely lock in the pigment and it takes 3 days to complete the "color fixing". You must survive these three days after dyeing to keep the color longer.

2. How long after perming can I dye my hair?

After perming, the hair will be damaged, so it is generally recommended to wait 3-4 weeks before dyeing your hair to allow the hair to rest and recover during this time. And the number of times you perm and dye your hair should not exceed 3 times a year. If your hair is particularly fine and soft, it is best not to do it more than 2 times, because perming and dyeing will damage the hair.

Tips: It is best not to do any special care one week before dyeing your hair, and be sure to keep your hair clean and dry.

3. Why can’t you dye your hair after perming it?

Because perming will change the internal structure of the hair, if you dye your hair immediately afterwards, the results of perming and dyeing will be affected. Moreover, perming and dyeing your hair on the same day can cause considerable damage to your hair. So in order to achieve good results and minimize damage to your hair, you must separate perming and dyeing.

4. Post-perm and hair dyeing care

1. Selection of shampoo and washing method

Permed and dyed hair requires special care, and you should use a shampoo with a moisturizing and nourishing formula. First rinse your hair with warm water, pour an appropriate amount of shampoo into the palm of your hand, rub it to make foam, and then apply it evenly on your hair. When shampooing, put your hands into your hair and rub it with your fingers, then rinse off the foam with clean water. Before using conditioner, try to dry your hair with a towel so that the conditioner can be effectively absorbed. Then apply the conditioner to the middle or ends of your hair and use a comb to evenly distribute the conditioner. It should be noted that the conditioner must be rinsed thoroughly to avoid clogging the pores.

2. Eat more nutritious food

Nutritious food is very important for improving hair quality. Eat more hair-healthy and nourishing foods, such as dairy products, yellow and green vegetables, animal liver and other foods rich in vitamins and iron. Milk, egg yolk and meat contain more sulphuric acid, which can prevent hair loss and make hair elastic.

3. Post-perming and dyeing care

The hair is seriously damaged after perming and dyeing, so care is a must. If you have more money, you can go to the hair salon for professional hair treatments 1 to 3 times a month. That way your hair quality will indeed improve, and it will also have a certain repair effect on hair after perming and dyeing. It is recommended that you go to a trustworthy upper-middle-class hair salon and buy a whole set of products, which will be more cost-effective. If you don't have much money, you should pay more attention to daily care. After washing your hair, apply conditioner to the ends and the middle of your hair and massage for about ten minutes, then rinse it off. Be careful not to let conditioner get on the roots of your hair, as that will make your hair easily become oily after washing. If you perm and dye your hair in a short period of time, you must remember to take good care of your hair, otherwise it will become dry.
