Question Posted Wednesday June 25 2008, 2:28 am

i recently got a body wave perm.
my hair is a bit shorter, and im not as happy as i expected.

i bought this spray that will make my hair curlier - its a bedhead product, and i bought this kerastase product that makes curls healthier and last longer, which i put once a week.

i have a few questions.
1. right after i take a shower - will my hair look wavy/curly?
2. if it is wavy/curly after i take a shower, what difference woudl it make if i dried it myself with a blow dryer/or let it dry by itself.
3.what happens if i straighten it with a straightener?
4. i just got my perm this morning, and i cant wash it till friday, but will my curls/waves eventually get wavier and wavier?
5. why cant i wash my hair after getting a perm?

1. No. It'll probably have more body than you're used to, but freshly washed hair is typically more straight than anything.


2. Letting it dry by itself will bring out the natural [or newly-permed] texture of your hair. Blowdrying could easily kill the curl/wave you have, especially if you don't use a diffuser.


3. Your hair will be straight if you striaghten it. It might not stay pin-straight due to summer weather and the new-ness of the perm, but it'll be relatively straight.


4. Perms "relax" over time. My mom used to get her hair permed, and it'd always start as cute ringlets and end as these gorgeous waves. As it grows out you'll have a different texture, so have fun playing with your new style[s]


5. You can't wash your hair for many reasons, some of which I don't know. For starters, your hair is very dry right now because of all the chemicals, and the natural oils in your hair help repair it. Also, washing too soon could un-evenly remove the chemicals from your hair and mess up the perm style. So follow the instructions you were given.


I'm assuming the first answer here is you adding additional information. Spraying perfume in your hair is totally fine, I do that all the time. Since you'll feel inclined to use a LOT, try using a body splash/mist instead, so it's less overpowering and can be used more frequently.


You can style your hair almost any way you want. After you start washing it again, it'll be just like curly or wavy hair, so Google away for hairstyles, or ask friends for ideas. Wikihow.com is am amazing resource for hairstyling advice.
