What goes around comes around, with fashion trends including hair. Hair Perms in NYC are making a come back in a big way, but the game has changed. What is a Hair perm? A perm is short for permanent hairstyle. Hair Perms are a “permanent” treatment used to change the pattern of your hair, which can create dramatic volume and texture. But they’re more semi permanent, as your natural hair grows back it can weigh down the already previously permed hair. There are many different ways to do hair perms and with the new methods you can have anything from the tightest ringlets to a stunning lose beach wave.

There are some rules to a hair perm; you absolutely cannot perm over bleached hair. These chemicals do not react well together and can cause irreversible damage. If you have bleached hair and are interested in a hair perm there are ways to lift your hair with tint and grow out your existing bleach. I would always recommend going to a NYC perm specialist at our Voted Best Hair Salon in NYC for a strand test and/or consultation to confirm if this works for you! We recommend Tahlya for your next hair perm, you can book with her by calling (212)226-2600.

Keep in mind! You can’t wash or wet your hair for 24 to 48 hours after your hair perm or you could cause it to drop! One of the biggest things I can say as a professional is to be prepared to change your entire routine. Products and the way you style your hair will change dramatically; all good stylists will help you but be patient. These beautiful new curls are going to take some time to get used to!! Moisture is going to be your friend, we recommend sulphate free moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and a curl defining cream to help tame the frizz that comes with a hair perm and your new curly hair! If your hair is long enough to curl with a curling iron it’s long enough for a hair perm! The length and thickness can change the timing of your hair perm, I’d recommended setting a minimum of two hours aside for most hair perms.
