With the rapid change of fashion trends, perms have been favored by more and more people as a way to quickly change their personal image. However, behind every fashion carnival, there is a process of return. How long does it take for our hair to return to its original shape after a perm? What is the science behind this? I'm going to get to the bottom of this question and give you some advice to help you take better care of your hair during the care and recovery process after a perm.
1. The principle of perm and its impact on hair quality.
Perming is the use of chemical potions or physical heating methods to change the protein structure inside the hair, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the hairstyle. This process can cause some damage to the hair, such as making the hair dry, brittle, frizzy, etc. Different types of perm methods, such as hot perm, cold perm, ion perm, etc., have different effects on hair quality.
Second, the factor of recovery time.
The time it takes to return to the same state after a perm is affected by a variety of factors. Here are a few main factors:
Type of perm: Different types of perms have different levels of damage to the hair, so the recovery time will vary. Generally speaking, physical perms (such as hot perms) cause greater damage to the hair and the recovery time is relatively long; Chemical perms (e.g. cold perms) are less damaging, but the recovery time is not absolutely short.
Personal hair type: Everyone's hair quality is different, some people's hair is naturally strong and elastic, and the recovery speed will be relatively fast; For some people, their hair is fragile and fragile, and the recovery process may be longer.
Treatment: Post-perm care is essential for hair recovery. Proper care methods, such as using moisturizing shampoos, conditioners, and regular nutritional care, can effectively promote hair recovery; Wrong care methods, such as frequent hair coloring and the use of high-temperature tools, can further damage the hair and prolong the recovery time.
3. Ways to promote hair recovery.
Choose the right care products: After a perm, your hair becomes more fragile and requires a gentler care product. Choosing shampoos and conditioners that contain moisturizing and restorative ingredients can effectively improve hair quality and promote hair recovery.
Trim the ends of your hair regularly: After perming, the ends of your hair are prone to split ends, frizz and other problems. Trimming the ends of your hair regularly can remove damaged parts and leave your hair neater and smoother.
Avoid frequent hair dyes and perms: Frequent hair dyes and perms can cause cumulative damage to your hair, making the recovery process longer. During the recovery period, try to avoid dyeing or perming your hair again and give your hair plenty of rest.
Diet: The health of our hair is closely related to our eating habits. Eating more protein- and vitamin-rich foods, such as eggs, fish, vegetables, fruits, etc., can provide adequate nutrients for hair and promote recovery.
The time it takes to return to the original state after a perm varies from person to person and is affected by a variety of factors. By choosing the right care products, trimming the ends of your hair regularly, avoiding frequent hair dyes and perms, and maintaining a good diet, we can effectively promote hair recovery. At the same time, patience and faith are very important. After all, every fashion needs a process of return, and this process is the moment when our hair gradually returns to its best. Let's cherish and take care of our hair while enjoying fashion!
