7. Set your hair as per the instructions on the perm kit. This is going to vary based on how long your hair is. You can however; check in every ten minutes how far your hair has curled. Keep doing it till you find your hair processed as per your needs.

What To Remember While And After Perming?

• Do not color your hair before you perm it. Perming should be followed by coloring and not the other way round as a color before would fade with the perm.
• If your scalp starts to itch severely or you have a burning sensation after application of perm solution, wash it off with the neutralizing shampoo immediately.
• You must not shampoo for two or three days after your perm session. Avoid coloring your hair just after perming. It would be wise for you to wait a fortnight!
• After a few days, when you start shampooing all over again, use a shampoo with moisturizer especially formulated for permed hair.
• If you are not so confident about perming your hair at home, take the help of an experienced professional at a well-known salon.

Happy Perming!
