How do I repair my badly damaged hair after a perm?
By Sarah
Honestly, once hair is damaged there is not much you can do to repair it. There are silicone products that will make it seem more conditioned and soft, but these are a temporary fix as all conditioners eventually wash out and/or wear off. The only way to fix damaged hair is to cut it. You can get salon treatments that will help temporarily soften it, but all in all hair can not be "repaired" once it is damaged. An honest hair dresser will tell you to keep trimming it or cut it. I've been in the hair business for over 20 years, and there is not one product that can "fix" damaged hair.
My hair has been over processed. I got a perm and it didn't take. About three weeks later, I got another one. Now my hair is over processed and it's like cotton candy. What can I do (other than getting it all cut off) to bring some life back into it?
I went for a permanent and they forgot to put the neutralizer on my hair at the end. My hair is straight and very frizzy and dry.
I used Gentle Treatment perm on my hair and my hair is falling out very badly. I believe it is over-processed or the product was too strong.
