How soon can you wash your hair after a perm-touch up?

Well, I'm no expert, but when I decided to end my perm, I washed my hair out the same day I got a touch-up, and it still remained straight. I believe that it won't damage your hair if you wash it immediately, as long as you use the right shampoos and conditioners especially made for permed hair. Since you're continuing your perm, I suggest your wash your hair once a week or maybe every 2 weeks. This is what I did when I had my relaxer. The best thing is to consult your stylist w/ any questions you may have

Doesn't everyone shampoo their hair on the day of their relaxer, with neutalizing shampoo?
You can shampoo your hair the day after if you want. If you're unsure if your hair is completely netralized, use a neutralizing shampoo. I would follow that with a moisturizing one.

I like to wait a couple of days after getting a touch up before I wash my hair. But I'm sure that you could wash it as soon as the next day.

When I had a perm and went to the salon to get a perm, i washed my hair as soon as i got home. Mainly, cause they never styled it the way I liked and it smelled all greasey.
