Next take a dry strand and drop in a warm cup of water and see how long it takes to sink. If it floats and does not sink or sinks very slowly after a while its 'porosity' is ok to re-perm.If it sinks rapidly don't even think about perming your hair!If after these tests it checks ok, try having your stylist use a Quantum 'Hydra-Balance' Perm to re-perm your hair with. Shampoo and apply a heavy bodied conditioner such as Redken Climatress and sit under a hot drier with a cap over the hair for twenty minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water and proceed with the perm, it should do ok.william

Also if he/she is not experienced with this particular perm, be sure that the hair is not 'wrapped' too tight. Read and follow the instructions to the letter.william> william
