I went swimming on thursday, and I haven`t been able to wash it since. I`ve decided that washing it, straightening it, then having to perm it in a few days was too strenuous and unnecessary. Will the chlorine thats in my hair affect my perm? Or should I wash it, and then wait a couple weeks? I really need my perm, though.

Your hair is going to fall straight out if you perm it before washing the chlorine out. Wash then wait about two weeks.

It is best that you wash your hair after swimming, because the chlorine will make your hair brake off to the point, where it will be paper thin or really short. I have experinced it myself. Than after washing it wait a day and then perm it.
Good Luck

Yes, cholorine can effect the perm. IMake sure you or your stylist uses a clarifying tratment on your hair to get rid of the chlorine. The chlorine mixing with perm solution can cause unpredictable results.

Use a clarifying shampoo. You can get salon brands, name brands or store brands. These shampoos strip the excess build-up from your hair and should not be used more than once or twice a week.
