You can loosen it up a bit just by shampooing it sooner and doing a hot oil treatment. Oils will loosen curl or any conditioners that have Balsam in them. (Years ago there was a Wella Balsam conditioner) It was great for loosening up perms. Or do a deep treatment on your hair. Some of the heavier ones could help loosen curl as well. Don't try re-perming. It will definitely dry you out and could cause breakage. Keep in mind, that perms loosen up on their own in about 2 weeks. If you started out with perfect curls right away, then come 2 weeks later, you might not have much left, especially if you have fine hair. Good luck!

howdy hon. it truly relies upon on what style of rollers you utilize and how tight you roll it. Im guessing that if your hair is obviously right this moment, that's going to be advantageous and spiral remarkable away yet after some weeks it may de-poof. lol. A perm is a perm and that they are going to probably value you the comparable the two way. I merely propose that once you get it completed, use a curling shampoo to maintain in advantageous and curley and bouncy! i'm hoping this helps and that your hair seems merely remarkable! Take care! :)

Call the perm company (telephone # is on back of box) if you gave yourself the perm. If you had it done at salon, go back to stylist & tell them the curls are too tight & they can relax them without damage. Good luck!

no because,the curl is already set and if you do it again it will just mean more curl and more damage.you can use another perm to straighten or take some of the curl out.that is your best bet. hair stylist by trade
