To Hairstylists out there?

Question

My friend organised for her boyfriend to get a body perm into his lank straight shoulder length hair earlier today unfortunately for him the perm made his hair very curly even with the stylist using large perm rods in it. The stylist then roller set his hair to make it less curly and has told him that he will need to roller set his hair every time that he washes it until the perm grows out.

Is this true and is there any way of reversing the perm without causing damage to his hair or will he need to shave it all off which he refuses to do

Please note it was his own decision to get his hair permed. and despite our warnings which he just laughed at he insisted on getting it done

My friend organised for her stylist to do it at her home and not at the salon.

Answer 1

What we do in this situation is we wet the hair, squeeze the excess moisture out, and comb perm solution into the hair. We don't put it in rollers; instead, we let the perm solution develop on the hair while it is hanging straight (and because it is moist, it will hang straight). This loosens the curl, effectively "perming" it into a straighter shape. Then after it's developed, we neutralize and rinse out according to regular procedure.

Before doing this, deep-condition the hair every day for about 1-2 weeks to give it time to recover and gain strength. (Back-to-back perms can take a toll on hair.) The daily deep conditioning may even loosen the curl a bit.

Do NOT use a relaxer. Relaxers are MUCH more damaging to hair than perms. To use relaxer on already-permed hair is to commit hair suicide.

For a quick fix in the meantime, it's easiest to weigh down the hair with styling pomade. There are a ton of these in your local drugstore. Most of them are labelled as "hair-straightening balm", but any thick pomade-like product has the same effect.

If he were to decide to keep the perm, he does not have to set his hair in rollers every time he washes it. That's ridiculous. He can just blow-dry it straight (on a cool setting to avoid heat damage).

Either your friend is not communicating with his stylist very well, or the stylist is not very competent. If the latter is the case, I suggest finding someone else to do his hair from now on.

Good luck!

My hairstylist is one in every of my well buddy's mothers. She's been doing it for approximately 30 years I think? I love her given that she turns out to grasp what she's doing, it is at her condominium so it is much less noisy and there may be no one else there so it makes me extra relaxed, we speak for decades that's some thing I ordinarily do not do to men and women in hair salons, and he or she's additionally low-priced as good! $forty for a whole head dyed and reduce! It's ordinarily $one hundred at my historic hairstylist. She's additionally very pleasant and is so candy. I can just about speak to her approximately something particularly. My historic hair stylist used to be variety of quiet so from time to time it used to be awkward. You simply ought to bond along with your purchaser! I desire that is helping you!

He will just have to wait a few weeks until it relaxes on his own. Perms are super tight when they are first put in. Give it time.
On another note. Tell your friend to stop being so controlling of her boyfriend... I mean... a perm on a guy? She should like or love him for who he is. Not treat him like a doll to dress up or make him look how she wants him to.

Answer 4

Give it time it will relax, but tell him to go ahead and shampoo it right away. You are supposed to wait a couple of days but go ahead it might help relax it. Don't use any chemicals for a week or two it might compromise the integrety of the hair and fall out or make it frizz out. So just be patient and give him a hait tie to pull it back for a while.
