If you’re new to perms and relaxers, there’s a lot you need to know and be prepared for. Here’s an idea of what you need to keep in mind both before and after you get a perm or relaxer treatment on your hair, so that your perm or relaxer stays in great condition for months and months.

The Dos and Don’t of Getting a Perm or Relaxer

During the first few days:

• Don’t wash your hair or get it wet.
• Do use a blowdryer or a flat iron, if your hair gets wet during the first couple of days.
• Do blow dry or straighten your hair with a flat iron to remove ridges that you get while you sleep.
• Don’t exercise or sweat.
• Don’t use sprays, gels, or mousses.
• Don’t tie your hair back, using hair bands or hair clips of any kind.
• Do wear a silk scar, if you need to pull your hair away from your face.
• Do wear your hair down all the time.
• Don’t tuck your hair behind your ears.
• Don’t use eyeglasses or sunglasses to hold your hair back.
• Don’t get a perm or relaxer, if you are pregnant or nursing.
• Do use the stylist recommended shampoo, which is one that doesn’t contain sodium chloride.
