I just got a perm 2 days ago, but I don't think my friend put the rollers tight enough. What can I use to get more curl in my hair?

Let your hair air dry after washing (i.e., leave yourself enough time you don't need to blow dry it before leaving for work). And while it's drying, dab a bit of gel on your hands, rub your palms together then scrunch the gel into your hair. I'm not sure that's an adequate word: scrunch. With gel-covered palms, grab handfuls of almost-dry hair and squeeze. Repeat. I've found it to be remarkably effective.
Perm rods should not be wound tightly, as this can cause hair breakage. If your friend proceeded to perm your hair without fully understanding the results you wanted, or without the knowledge to obtain those results, any corrective work you may choose to have done, should be done by a professional.
The two main reasons for permed hair not being as curly as desired are, the perm rods used were too large in diameter and produced a wave rather than a curl. The other is that the perm was under processed (assuming your hair had the proper elasticity to be permed). If too large rods were used but the perm was fully processed, you should accept what you have. Do not subject the hair to more processing.
If the correct size rods were used but the hair was under processed, then the perm can be given again.This could be considered a delicate procedure and should be carried out only by a well seasoned cosmetologist. (The hair probably should be wrapped with water, not wave solution. The solution should be applied after all hair is wound. The solution more than likely should be diluted by a third with water or a placenta conditioner such as Hask). See a professional.
I know its been years now, did you get it fixed? Have you gotten a perm anytime after this? Im dealing with a messed up 2nd time perm, 1st fell out within the theee days I couldnt wash or play with it. Im debating wetting it some and rolling it my self in the spots I already see straight (I got the fixedperm today).
It can be done over after about 2 weeks. In the meantime, give your hair deep-conditioning treatments.
I used body wave perm all i had rollrd up in pink but not curly y
It's not that it wasn't rolled right enough, it was done on rollers that were too big for the curl that you wanted. Next time, request smaller rollers.
there are products you can buy that enhance a natural curl, and I would assume that they also enhance the perm. I know for a fact that these work.

hi which of these product do you find works best please??
Go on Amazon there's a curly there that it's amazing. It'll cost 100 bux but it's worth it. It's a big ball looking thing and it sucks your hair in and you hold it for 15 seconds then your done you do that with each piece of hair and there's like three settings it's amazing.
you can redo the perm ... check the box to see how soon ....and when you redo it... wait at least 48 hours before wasing hair... good luck
I do not believe you can find better advice than that given by likekinds and - as is his usual thing - very simple clear instructions.
I was always told by my "beautician" to not shampoo my hair for at least 3 days, or longer if possible. Of course, I was always waiting for the minute the 3 days were up but my perms always did great. Maybe you could try this after you remedy your curls.
Perm is just meant to give you the texture you need, you will need to curl hair afterwards and use product to keep them curly but as you then hav the texture due to perming it will be a lot easier to have it curly on daily basis
