Caring for Your Perm

So you just got a perm but you don't know how to care for it. Don't worry we'll tell you what you should and shouldn't do so your perm will look its best.

The most important thing to remember is that you can not shampoo your hair for 48 hours. If you do shampoo your hair you will cause your perm to become more relaxed and more frizzy. The second most important thing to remember is that you don't want to use conditioner for the first 2 weeks unless your stylists instructs you to do so. Another thing to remember is that you should not pull your hair into a barrette or pony band for the first 3 days of your perm. During this time hair is extremely fragile and should be handled with gentle care. Pulling hair back could make it very limp. Lastly, rinsing your hair with water for the first 2 days will help the curl bounce back.

The next few tips will help your perm live a full and healthy life.

• You should allow your hair to air dry naturally, or use a diffuser. Using a blow dryer, curling iron, hot rollers or any heat appliance will cause relaxation and frizziness.
• You should not stand under a hot forceful shower.
• Most over the counter products contain oil, lanolin, wax and ingredients that could make your hair heavy and dry.
• You should not brush your hair with a brush or comb but use a pick instead.

We suggest using Perm Fresh shampoo and Perm Fresh Leave In Treatment for a healthy looking perm.

TextureTalk with Matrix -
Curl Power

Many problems with hair such as limp hair, erratic wave patterns or cowlicks can be solved with the right perm. Talk to your stylist and they can point you in the right direction. The key is using the right rods for your hair type.

We recommend that you come into the salon for a perm test so to speak. We will set your hair in rods without any perm solution so you can see what your hair would look like if you were to get a perm. This is a great way to see if a perm is right for you.

If you think you might want a perm check out the magazines there are plenty of high-profile ladies with curls. You might be able to achieve the same look with a perm. Come in with a picture and we can talk about what might be best for you.

Bibo Salon Tips

Q. Why should I wear a lip pencil?

A. There are several different benefits to wearing lip pencil. Most of us have some part of our natural lip line that needs to be balanced. Lip pencil can fill in and define our lip shape and make lip color wear much longer. To really give your lipstick the longest wear possible, pick a lip pencil close to your lipstick color and fill in the entire lip area before applying lipstick or lip gloss.

Try one of the following Bibo lip pencils:

WHISPER - A neutral flesh tone that works with everything.
GOSSIP - A deep russet red.
GIGGLE - A neutral shade with plum undertones.
SMIRK - A tan with coral/pink tones.
SMOOCH - A true shade of wine.
