I just did my perm but it didn't say anywhere when I can wash my hair, anyone know? I know it can vary from 1-3 days depending on the perm. Thanks!

All my boxes came wit h instructions that you can wash your hair right afterwards. Strange that yours didn't.

I washed my hair just one day later with no problems. This has been the best perm I have ever had.

I've always been told to wait 48 hours before shampooing after perm, which is what I did. It has been a great perm!

As soon as the perm is over, I'm in the shower to rinse off head to toe. I try to wait at least two days before washing with shampoo.

I use a little bit with my normal shampoo every time I wash my hair, which is every other day if I can help it. I have had a friend say that it dried her hair out, so make sure to properly condition (I'm not a hair stylist or anything, but that's what I would do!)

Well that depends on how often you wash your hair, because everytime you do, you will lose color. I wash my hair three times a week and it last about a month. Hope this info helps.

Hi Kristy: I'm not a professonal; but I know that I have thin & fine hair & since using this product my hair is thicker. Also, I have had many people notice my hair looks thicker. It will most likely not be noticeable until at least 1 month. Hopefully, this answers your question & I wish you all the best. Please keep me posted. :)

I just put about a palm full of it on my hair after shampooing and run it through my ends. The packaging says to leave it on for 3-5 minutes but I leave it on for longer so it can really penetrate my dry ends. I personally put a shower cap on and keep it in for about an hour or so. And then rinse with cold water, dry and style like normal:) and your hair will feel amazing!

My hairdresser did a light shampoo and conditioner after application and rinsing of perm because my hair is color treated (weeks before perm). Then I waited 48 hours before shampooing again. I have not had any problems with smell and I am overly sensitive to offensive odors. Perhaps you permed too soon after color treating your hair? Or, your hair is thin and less time is needed to be in rods. Why are you perming so soon (3 months) after last perm? My hair grows fast and is thick but still have lots of body and perm left and it has been at least 6 months or longer since I permed. Hope this helps.

I wash my hair once a week anyway but I know some people who wash their hair every two weeks. I just stick to my regular routine but on the bottle it calls for once a week.

I've used it for a week without washing. It didn't seem to be greasy, but my hair is dry. I don't know a bout permed hair, but it doesn't seem to affect colored hair. Good luck.

Love to answer anything on my favorite Conditioner ever! Most people use this once maybe twice a month just as a deep conditioner. I myself I have hair down the middle of my back it's very thick. ..I wash about every three days sometimes more. I use this every time I wash I've the rinse but I just can't get away from the mask. I know you don't need a lot but I'm pretty generous with mine I totally coat my hair clip it up while I do something else. One tub has taken me over a month! What is left is probably a good 5 more washes.

Honestly, I only use this product after I relax my hair. It is a very "heavy" conditioner. Meaning, it's meant to repair hair that is damaged. Since the nature of perms is damaging, it's meant especially for them. I've heard you can also use this when your hair is in bad shape, but I don't recommend using it on a regular basis. Now, to answer your question (sorry I rambled lol), you use this after you shampoo. Since it is a part of the Affirm relaxer system, it's used before the final PH balancing shampoo, but when used alone, you use it last.

I only use it about every 2-3 days, alternating with other shampoos. So, for me, it lasts two months or longer. Probably would last you at least a month. As for if you will need it that long, I can only answer for myself - I think I will always need it.

It All Depends on How Thick Your Hair is & How You Like Your Hair to Lay. My Hair is Super Thick & I Dont Have a Perm, but I Like It to Look Like I Do. It Takes Me About an Hr to an Hr & a Half to Straighten My Hair.

I did not notice any particular strong odor. As soon as you are able to wash your hair after the perm, that should take away any lingering odor. I did not have any problem with lasting odor. Good luck.

I wash my hair and then apply this balm, allowing it to stay on my hair as long as possible. Then, I wash it all (shampoo & balm) out when finished.Enjoy. Jo Baragona

It's been a year since I have used the Perm. I had some left from prior Perms, so I really cannot be sure anymore. Sorry I could not help

I use it once a week or even wait 2 weeks. If u wash your hair daily the color will come out quicker so it's good to wash ur hair only every other day or less than that. If you do that your color will last longer!
