Tis the season for Perms! What you need to know before you get one.

The Perm Comeback:

Spring time is just around the corner! With a new season comes a new hairstyle and now’s your time to show off the texture in your hair. It’s true. The perm is making a comeback—with a modern twist. Now it’s all about the “undone” loose curls. The modern woman wears texture with effortless elegance. Match it with a light hair color or a maybe even a pastel color and you’re the new Fashionista on your block. Styling’s a breeze. Just apply a leave-in treatment or a styling fluid/cream and you’re good to go.

Perm 101—What you need to know before you get a perm:

When you do decide to get a perm, you need to be extra conscious about treating your hair right. Let’s go over some perm basics. (Don’t worry. We’re not going to scare anyone with Chemistry terms)

Each hair strand is made of lots and lots of fibers, connected by strong bonds. When you perm your hair, you’re basically restructuring your hair strands by breaking these bonds, freeing them and re-bonding them to lock the wave in place.

There’s no secret. Hair damage is inevitable when it comes to perms. This is why quality hair treatment is so important. Make sure you get proper salon treatment on the day you get your perm. And don’t forget to take care of your hair at home with masks or leave-in treatments. At Viange Hair, we use products that bring long-lasting curls minimizing the damage to your hair. Here are our top product recommendations for perm hair:
