How to restore hair after a perm
What should you do if almost immediately after perm your hair feels like a washcloth?
If instead of the promised curls you have something resembling tow on your head, most likely the master chose the wrong composition or simply overexposed it. Most often, in this case, women decide to take radical measures - they get short haircuts, and then look for ways to speed up hair growth after chemotherapy. However, if for some reason this is not possible, you should try lamination. The essence of the procedure is to apply a special mask to the hair. Under the influence of temperature, it forms a protective layer on the hair. At the end, the hair is pulled out with an iron, and it becomes perfectly smooth and shiny. However, the effect of the procedure does not last long - only a few weeks. Then it will have to be repeated - and so on until the “tow” grows completely.
Keratin straightening gives a longer lasting effect. It can last up to 10 months.
You can fix bad curls with these salon procedures. But if your hair falls out after a perm, what should you do? In this case, additional stress will only make the situation worse.
Hair restoration after an unsuccessful perm requires an integrated approach:
Nourish the body from the inside
Many women focus so much on the visual effect that they completely forget that everything in the body is interconnected. How to treat hair after perm? You need to add vitamins to your diet. There are specialized preparations - for example, “inneov hair density” from Vichy. But it is better for your doctor to select a suitable mineral-vitamin complex for you.
Physiotherapy
If you come to a beauty salon and ask how to treat your hair after a perm, they will offer you several procedures that will help speed up hair growth. These are darsonvalization, mesotherapy, laser therapy, massage. The principle of their effect on the scalp is different, but the essence is the same: all these methods are aimed at activating metabolism in the scalp. As a result, hair follicles are better supplied with oxygen and nutrients. Hair growth accelerates, the condition of curls improves.
Folk recipes
How to grow hair after a perm using available products at home? There are several simple, proven recipes for masks that stimulate hair growth:
Mustard mask. Dilute mustard powder and 1 teaspoon of sugar with warm water to the consistency of sour cream. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Rub thoroughly into scalp. Place under plastic and wrap your head with a warm towel.
Hot pepper tincture mask. This product is sold in any pharmacy. The tincture is rubbed into the scalp and also covered with cellophane and a towel.
Cinnamon mask. Cinnamon powder should be mixed with 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil. Next - according to the same principle: under polyethylene, and keep your head warm.
All homemade masks need to be left on for quite a long time - at least half an hour, and then washed off thoroughly with water. You should first make sure that you are not allergic to the ingredients of the masks.
You can also add oils to your home care. Burdock, castor, and coconut have especially proven themselves. Oils moisturize hair that has been over-dried by perms and nourish hair follicles.
Important! Oil treatment should be done carefully if you have oily scalp
Of course, you shouldn’t expect miracles from home care. It can act as an auxiliary tool. If the hair falls out a lot, then the problem requires immediate intervention by a trichologist.
Professional cosmetics
Almost every major cosmetic brand has lines aimed at stimulating hair growth
Pay attention to the products of such brands as Davines, L'oreal, Sexy Hair. It is advisable to choose products from the same line - shampoo, conditioner, mask
Thanks to a single active formula, each product complements the action of the other, and the result will be better.
In addition to classic care products, many cosmetic companies offer ampoules. This is an excellent alternative to salon mesotherapy. Ampoules are a concentrate of nutrients. Their contents are rubbed into the scalp, thereby providing it with intense nutrition.
So, now you know what to do if your hair falls out after a perm. The main thing is to remember that even after an extremely unsuccessful procedure, the loss of curls is reversible. Of course, you will have to work hard to restore them, but this is not the end of the world. The modern beauty industry offers many products that allow you to regain lush and thick hair.

How to straighten your hair at home
There are several quite accessible and acceptable ways to straighten curls. These include:
- Cosmetical tools.
- Chemicals.
- Folk remedies.
- Iron, hair dryer and other tools.
However, before you start the procedure, you need to remember the mandatory straightening rules:
- It is not recommended to straighten your hair after any perm;
- To prevent the strands from turning into a lifeless nightmare on the head, it is imperative to use restorative and healing products, both industrial cosmetology and folk ones;
- After chemical straightening, do not use a hair dryer to dry your hair. Let it dry naturally;
- thermoactive milk or spray to protect strands from damage is required when straightening with an iron;
- hair dye or any other chemicals are completely excluded when a heat tool is used for straightening, be it a curling iron or a flat iron;
- It is strictly forbidden to straighten wet hair with an iron or curling iron;
- It is not allowed to heat the iron above 120 degrees at the time of straightening.
Now that the rules have been studied, when the methods are known, we can move on to a more detailed discussion of the issue of hair straightening at home.
Professional hair care after highlighting
Proper care may also include salon procedures. The following professional options are most often used for restoration and strengthening.
Lamination
This procedure is suitable for colored and weakened hair. During lamination, the hairs are covered with a special enveloping film, due to which the appearance of the hair becomes very attractive. There is no cumulative effect, and all the gloss will gradually be washed off along with the composition. This procedure does not work as a restoration, but it does an excellent job of aesthetic function. In addition, the film also protects the pigment on the strands from washing out.
Botox
Botox is also not a curative procedure, but it does leave hair in good condition. A cocktail of vitamins and keratins is applied to the strands, gluing the scales together. The empty spaces inside the hair are filled, making the hairstyle look shiny and smooth.
Shielding
Professional treatment of strands in several stages with useful ingredients actively saturates the hair, making it more shiny and well-groomed. Shielding is suitable for those who are serious about bringing their hair to ideal condition. The procedure has a cumulative effect, which can be observed after five visits to the specialist. But be prepared that the compounds will sooner or later be washed off from your hair.
Hair polishing
A procedure that is suitable for those who struggle with split ends. If you do not want to glue them together using the above-mentioned chemical compounds, then ask the master to sand your curls using special tools. A machine or razor will quickly remove dead cells.
Recommendation from our stylists: before deciding on the procedure, be sure to consult with your stylist.
Tips and hacks for caring for highlighted hair

Adding essential oil to masks is done on the basis that 3-5 drops of essential oil are added to 2-4 tablespoons of base oil. You can also use vitamins A and E in gelatin capsules as a supplement.
Cosmetical tools
At home, you can use various hair straightening cosmetics, which quite effectively straighten curls. They have proven themselves, first of all, as professional preparations, however, with some specific skills, each of the fair sex representatives will be able to prove themselves as a hairdresser-stylist independently. Cosmetic methods include:
- keratin straightening. We have separately written a detailed article about its influence, benefits, etc.;
- Lamination of hair;
- straightening by chemical means.
The action of all of these methods is based on the so-called weighting of the strands, which is ensured by covering each hair individually with a special protective film and smoothing the scales. The curls become manageable, do not get tangled when combed, and fall in an even layer. And although the results of all methods are the same, they are nevertheless performed differently.
Requires some tools and equipment.
- iron;
- large diameter round brush;
- sprinkler or spray bottle;
- deep cleaning shampoo;
- hair clips;
- straightening agent;
- smoothing serum.
After purchasing all the items, you can safely begin the procedure yourself. It is carried out according to the following scheme:
- Before keratin straightening, the hair must be perfectly clean, so it should be washed using deep cleaning shampoo.
- The strands should be dry before the procedure, but remember, you cannot dry them with a hairdryer, only with a towel and allow them to dry naturally.
- All curls, without exception, go up and are secured with special clips at the back of the head.
- Now let's proceed to the procedure itself; to do this, put a special product in a spray bottle, separate a thin strand from the general hair and moisten it generously.
- Next, we will do the same with all the remaining curls.
- 15 minutes after processing the hair, dry it using a hairdryer and comb.
- After combing, the strands can be straightened with an iron heated to 120 degrees and no higher.
- When the hair is “smoothed”, you need to apply a special smoothing serum to it.
- Now we remember the day of performing keratin straightening and for three days after we do not wash our hair or even wet it, do not braid our hair or pin strands in our hair.
The modern beauty industry market offers the following products to perform the above procedure:
For very curly and coarse hair:
- Bombshell Gloss;
- Cadiveu Brazil Cacau;
- Honma Tokyo Coffee Premium;
- Inoar G-Hair Treatment.
For frizzy and lightly wavy hair:

- Cadiveu Plastica dos Fios;
- Honma Tokyo H-BRUSH Botox;
- Keratin Evoque;
- Inoar Moroccan Keratin;
- Eckoz;
- Keratin Research.
You can also do this. Like keratin straightening, this procedure will make the curls heavier, enveloping each hair with a protective film and moisturizing it naturally, since natural food gelatin is used for lamination. Also due to the low price of the main component of the procedure and the absence of special expensive tools, carving (in professional slang this is what lamination is called) is considered the most affordable straightening in terms of pricing. The effect lasts almost 3-4 months, which also pleasantly pleases owners of curls. So how does the procedure itself happen?
The following ingredients are required for carving:
- 1 fresh chicken yolk;
- baby or sulfate-free shampoo;
- 2 tablespoons of edible gelatin;
- water;
- 1 tablespoon olive or almond oil.
All products used must be fresh and not expired. Lamination always occurs in two stages.
First stage
First you need to prepare the gelatin mass. To do this, pour gelatin powder into six tablespoons of warm water and leave to swell for about 30-40 minutes. As soon as all the water is absorbed into the gelatin and it swells, the container with it should be placed on low heat and gradually heated. The gelatin will dissolve smoothly. After it is completely dissolved, the gelatin water must be cooled to room temperature and divided into two equal parts. Now you need to add shampoo to one part, the volume equal to the volume of gelatin water, that is, 1:1. Mix thoroughly and apply to hair, distributing throughout the hair. Cover your head with a heat compress, which can be made from a shower cap and a terry towel. Leave the gelatin mixture on your head for 30 minutes to an hour. At this time, you can start preparing for the second stage.
Second phase
Now you need to take a raw chicken egg yolk and mix it with the remaining gelatinous water. Add olive or almond oil to this mixture and mix thoroughly and vigorously again. You should get a hair mask of medium consistency. It is also applied to the hair and distributed along its entire length. Leave under the heat compress for another 2 hours. Then the mask should be washed off with warm water without using shampoo or other cleansers.
If carving is done every two weeks, then even the most unruly curls will become even and smooth, and those around you will think that they never existed at all. But to achieve a truly amazing straightening effect, you need to remember just three basic rules.
- After the procedure, you should not straighten your curls with an iron. You should wait at least three or four days.
- You can wash your head and hair only on the third, or better yet, fourth day after carving.
- It is strictly forbidden to apply chemical or bio-perms to laminated strands. This will damage the hair and the straightening effect will be lost.
Technology for straightening a failed perm
Having established the reason for the failed perm, you can proceed directly to how to straighten your hair after it.
- If the curls turn out to be too curled or have a smaller diameter than desired, then you can slightly straighten them to the state of large waves by keratinizing. To do this, simply reduce the exposure time of the pulling drug. If you want to completely straighten a failed experiment with curls, then you need to use more intense hair-stretching formulations - thioglycolic, matrix or highly alkaline.
- In the case when you wanted to get a hard curl, but light waves came out, it is better to re-perm to form the desired curl. But if you still decide to get rid of the wavy structure, then keratin or bio-straightening will be enough.
- If, as a result of a perm, there are strongly curled areas on the head mixed with less intense curls, then only potent drugs will help to straighten them completely. Kerating or bio-straightening in this case is ineffective.
- Damaged hair can be straightened only with keratin compounds, since these are preparations that have a nourishing, restorative effect. All other methods of long-term straightening will only aggravate the fragility of “burnt” hair.
Before you start working with strong drugs, do a hair strength test. To do this, cut a thin strand and place it for 20–30 minutes in the composition you plan to use to get rid of curls. Then take it out and pull it to the sides. If the strand does not break or stretch, then proceed with the procedure.
Getting rid of perm at home
Due to negative experiences with failed curls, many are interested in how to straighten hair after a perm at home. Let's find out.
Bio-straightening is better suited for doing it yourself, since all other methods require more professional hairdressing skills.
The following tools and materials will be required for bio-straightening:
- deep cleansing shampoo;
- fine-tooth comb;
- straightening preparation;
- stabilizer shampoo;
- balm for smoothing hair structure;
- waterproof gloves;
- peignoir;
- towels;
- foam applicator for applying the composition;
- Bowl.
Objects in contact with the preparation should not be metal to avoid oxidation reactions and ultimately deteriorate the result.
Before you start straightening your hair at home, make sure you have all the necessary equipment. When working with chemical compounds on your own, be sure to observe the exposure time of the lotion and neutralizer, since the hair has changed its structure after curling.
Before the procedure, do not forget to conduct a strength test, and only after you are sure that the hair will withstand the effects of the drug, proceed to straightening.
- Wash your hair with deep cleaning shampoo and blot excess moisture with a terry towel.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl, foam it, and carefully apply it to all hair, strand by row, using a foam applicator.
- Comb through with a fine-toothed comb, lightly stretching the hair for 20 minutes. If the curl was too intense, then you need to extend the exposure time of the drug by 10 minutes.
- Rinse off the composition with plenty of warm water without shampoo and blot off excess moisture.
- Lather and apply neutralizer. It is recommended to comb your hair while it is in effect.
- Wash off the neutralizer with a stabilizing shampoo and treat with balm to smooth out the structure.
The first styling after bio-straightening should be done with an iron with straight plates.
Concluding the article, let's summarize. Straightening after a perm requires attention, since the water-alkaline balance in the hair is disturbed, and the formed disulfide bonds have reduced their strength. There are several ways to get rid of a boring or unsuccessful curl, but professionally performing the procedure for straightening curls at home can only be done using bio-based compounds, since working with potent drugs requires hairdressing skills. Before you start removing the “chemistry”, you need to determine exactly where it failed, since if the follicle is damaged, straightening will only aggravate the problem of hair loss
It is also important to know what preparations were used to remove the perm effectively. If the hair is “burnt”, then it can be straightened only by keratization procedure
Is it possible to get rid of perm at home?
Methods that can be applied at home will require some effort. But if you want to show off straight, luxurious hair at a party, you can do one of the following operations.
1. Thermal straightening. For this you will need an iron. It is better to choose models with ceramic plates; they heat up evenly and cause less harm to your curls. Using this device is quite simple. Separate a strand and run the iron over it from roots to ends. This way you need to process all the curls. Unfortunately, after the first wash, the curls will return.
2. Use of masks. This method of straightening does not allow you to get results instantly. But if you are willing to wait in order to safely rid your hair of a perm, then it is better to use this method.
Biochemical hair perm is a procedure, the essence of which is the application of a special substance that has a gentle effect, since it does not contain harmful ingredients - thioglycolic acid, ammonia, hydrogen peroxide. The result of bio-curling is elastic and bouncy curls. However, girls are contradictory natures: today they dream of charming curls, and tomorrow they want to enjoy straight hair like silk. In view of this, many are interested in the question: “Is it possible to straighten curls after curling?” Experts say: “Of course.” But how to do that? Yes Easy!
What's happened
Chemical straightening
This method, such as chemical straightening, is primarily popular among the fair sex, who have naturally curled hair.
The procedure makes it possible to once and for all get rid of the useless daily waste of time trying to pull out hair using all possible means. The styling will always be smooth and beautiful, there will no longer be curls sticking out in different directions.
The procedure includes several stages. First, a preparatory composition is applied to the hair; it normalizes the porosity of the hair and ensures the quality of leveling at a high level. A prerequisite for such preparations is the content of nutritious proteins and various softeners.
At the second stage, the hair is coated with a straightening compound.
Heat treatment is carried out. Cystine bonds are destroyed as a result of changes in the hair structure. The drug is kept for no more than 15–20 minutes. At the final stage, the substance is thoroughly washed off from the strands, and heat treatment is performed using ceramic hairdressing tools.
Using a hair dryer
You can also straighten your hair using a regular hair dryer.
To make the effect more lasting, it is recommended to apply gel or hairspray in advance. In some cases, creams and balms are good; they will help keep the structure of the strands healthier.
Before drying your hair with a hairdryer, a pre-prepared straightening product is applied along the entire length of the strands.
After selecting a suitable nozzle, the wet curls are gradually dried.
The procedure must be repeated systematically
(once every 2–4 days depending on the frequency of use of the hair wash).
Traditional methods
Folk methods for getting rid of perm include the use of various balms and masks that tonic and restore the structure of strands.
For example, at home you can make a decoction of burdock roots.
The plant is poured with boiling water for half an hour. The burdock must be pre-chopped. The mixture is cooked over low heat. When ready, the burdock infusion should sit for another 5-10 minutes. After the hair is washed with regular shampoo, the resulting composition is used as a rinse.
Experts also advise using the following herbal ingredients to get rid of perm:
- a mixture of chamomile, linden and nettle;
- Burr oil;
- Castor oil;
- egg yolk with 1 teaspoon lemon;
- bread water.
This herbal medicine allows curls not only to return to their previous structure, but also to enrich them with a whole range of nutrients and microelements for their speedy growth.
After an unsuccessful perm, it is important to ensure proper care of the hair structure. Once every few days, experts recommend making masks based on natural ingredients that saturate the strands with vitamins and minerals.
It is important to consider that the curls will need rest for a period of six months to a year. It is recommended to avoid dyeing your hair; it would be ideal to simply grow it out.
Straightening after biowave
Today, there are two methods of straightening curls after biochemical perm - professional and folk.
The leader is keratin hair straightening - a popular procedure that involves treating strands with a substance containing a lot of useful components that have a healing effect.
- hair is washed with a special shampoo;
- Liquid keratin is applied to the strands;
- the scalp is dried with a hairdryer;

After the procedure, the hair is flawlessly smooth, soft, shiny, like luxurious satin.
Chemical straightening takes second place in the ranking of highly effective methods that fight curls obtained as a result of biowaves. The procedure can hardly be called gentle, since the special solution that is applied to the strands contains a lot of aggressive substances.
Chemical straightening is carried out in several stages:
- a special cream with protective properties is applied;
- hair is treated with a special solution;
- the substance is thoroughly washed off;
- curls are straightened with a straightening iron;

The procedure involves applying a special substance to the curls, creating a film on each hair consisting of gelatin and cellulose, which has a moisturizing, nourishing, protective, restoring, smoothing effect.
The procedure consists of the following steps:
- hair is thoroughly washed and dried;
- the strands are treated with a special substance;
- the composition is washed off with cool water.

- the strands are treated with a special compound;
- the substance is washed off;
- curls are straightened using an iron;
- the neutralizer is distributed;
- A restorative mask is applied.
After Japanese straightening, the hair captivates with beauty and health.
Fifth place is deservedly occupied by permanent straightening, which involves treating the strands with a solution that changes the structure of the hairs. The method is popular, but also aggressive, as it contains harmful components.
Procedure steps:
- hair is washed with a special shampoo;
- protective cream is applied;
- strands are treated with a permanent solution;
- the composition is washed off;
- a thermal protectant is applied;
- the strands are straightened with an iron;
- the result is secured with a fixing spray.

To the delight of owners of straight hair, perms and other tricks for creating wavy and curly curls were invented a long time ago. But there was also a completely worthy answer to the question of how to straighten hair correctly. Today this can be done in various ways and methods.

Perm methods
Today, there are several methods of perm. Depending on your preferences, hair type and condition, you can choose the most gentle type of styling:
- For healthy, problem-free hair, regular acid-based chemicals are suitable;
- Chemical alkaline, more gentle curling;
- Carving is a light root curl. Suitable for all hair types, except very thick and dense hair.
Classic permanent:
A permanent or classic perm will help give your hair volume. Two types of “chemistry” are used:
- Alkaline is the most gentle. Its main disadvantage is the short fixation period (up to three months). The curl will not hold on dense, thick hair.
- Acid perm. The hairstyle is performed using an acid-based composition, which allows you to get a hard curl with enhanced hold. However, the aggressive components of the composition used significantly damage the hair structure. Often, after chemical styling, hair requires enhanced care.
Hair restoration after classic perm:
Your set of hair care products should include moisturizing masks, balms, and oils:
- Purchase special products and complexes for hair restoration after chemotherapy, for example, the Italian hair care cosmetic series, which contains valuable ingredients: royal jelly, boxwood extract, provitamin B5, honey and pumpkin oil;
- After each hair wash, apply restorative products with proteins (balms, conditioners, sprays);
- To style and style your hair, use foam and hair care sprays with a healing effect.
Note! Experts advise choosing caring and restorative products from the same manufacturer. By complementing each other, they work more efficiently
In order for the curl to look luxurious, and the curls and ringlets to retain their elasticity, the condition of the ends of the hair is very important. Therefore, they need to be cut before curling.
But no one will argue that the best, simplest and most inexpensive hair care after chemicals is homemade masks without synthetic ingredients. Here are some recipes:
Mask with vodka
- 1 yolk;
- 1 teaspoon lemon or aloe juice;
- 20 grams of vodka.
