Can you perm curly hair? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

As has already been established, your Stylist will seek to exhaust every option before considering a perm on hair that already has existing curls. The answer is therefore not a straightforward ‘yes’ or ‘no’ but rather the question of whether you should perm curl hair begs more questions. Your Stylist will likely seek to establish what you hope to achieve from perming your hair, what you have struggled with prior to your consultation, why you believe that a perm is the best solution, your health of hair, establish what you haven’t tried and to show you tips and tricks to ensure that, A) alternatives that can be done at home, and B) whether through intervention and a haircut you can begin to love your curls again. 

Your Stylist will be acutely aware that certain curls may be too fry and damaged to achieve a perm and actually what your hair requires is an injection of moisture. If your hair is dry or damaged, we recommend JOICO’s Four Step Treatment. This is both cost-effective and a fantastic method for reinvigorating your dry and damaged lifeless hair. This in itself could offer the starting point to support your hair health and existing curls whilst if you do choose to perm, hair must be healthy and therefore the starting point is crucial.
