I permed my hair last night. My hair is almost to bra strap length and
I do a spiral curl with Quantum for color treated hair (purple box) I
do a perm approx. every 18 months. I don't do it more often due to fear
of damage. My hair is slow growing and is a bit naturally wavy so the
grow out at the root doesn't look too bad until about 18 months
later. The Quantum perm never falls out for me, it's always just
as curly 18 months later. Just need to redo for new growth. My stylist
used to perm me, but when I moved I was afraid to let anyone else do my
hair so she showed me how. My hubby helps my apply the waving
lotion and neutralizer, but whines and gags the entire time from the
smell!
I colored my hair for the first time last October with permanent
haircolor so I want to do a protein treatment to correct any damage
from using color and perm. The perm looks pretty good and I have
no breakage, but it does feel drier than usual after a perm. When can I
use a protein treatment without worry about it pulling out the curl? I
have been doing Aphogee about every 3 months and K-Pak every month
followed by Loreal Mega Moisture Conditioner for about a year.
Which is best for after a perm, Aphogee or K-Pack? How soon? Thanks for any advice.
