Tips & Warnings
For best results, condition the hair as soon as possible after hair has been permed.
You can also achieve maximum results by using products from the same beauty line.
Never chemically alter your hair on your own. If the perm is still not to your liking, go back to the hair salon and get professional help in correcting your perm.
