Frizzy Hair Perms

Help for Frizzy Hair Perms

Frizzy hair is a major issue in many women’s lives, especially when brought on by a perm. Frizzy hair perms can be helped in a number of ways, here’s how:

“Frizzy Hair Perms”Frizzy hair perm product help

There are plenty of product options to help frizzy hair that is caused by a perm. A popular brand, John Frieda Frizz Ease seems to be well-liked by many of my clients. This product is similar to many professional brand shine or smoothing serums. John Frieda Frizz Ease can be used before and/or after styling to control frizzy hair.

Another fabulous frizz product is Kenra Platinum Silkening Gloss (a current fave of mine). Kenra Platinum Silkening Gloss works best when used with heated styling tools like the hair dryer or flat iron so I use this product with both!

Frizzy hair perm treatments

In-salon hair treatments like deep conditioners can work wonders for frizzy hair from perms. If you are suffering from a frizzy hair perm, I would suggest having your hairdresser deep condition your hair after every perm and perhaps in-between perms as well. In-salon deep conditioning treatments work wonders for conditioning, hydrating and controlling frizz. The application of heat on the conditioned hair is key to a successful deep conditioning treatment. It helps to drive the conditioner into the hair shaft.

For an at-home deep conditioning treatment, I suggest Joico’s K-Pak. K-Pak is a deep conditioner and reconstructor that leave the hair feeling super soft, shiny and conditioned. You can find this at your local beauty supply store.

Frizzy hair perm due to product brand

The brand and makeup of a perm product can cause excess frizz in hair depending on what hair type it is used on. Perm products with an unbalanced PH can affect the frizz factor in hair. Ask your hairdresser about perm brands that are acid versus alkaline. Acid based perms tend to yield a softer curl than the alkaline perms. Acid based perm brands include Zotos Quantum Classic Body and Matrix SB Acid Wave Perm.

I am a big fan of the Zotos brand perms and have had great results with them. Those hairdressers, who are dedicated to the trade, find a couple of perms that will consistently work well for the variety of hair types they work with.

Hair Care Tips You Can’t Live Without

“Hair Care Tips Hairdressers Forget to Tell You About”After being in the hair industry for as long as I have, it’s easy to forget that my clients don’t know all of the hair care tips that I have learned along the way. Yesterday one of my clients asked a simple question that made me think these hair care tips are always worth repeating.

So here are a few hair care tips that you may or may not be engaging in when taking care of your own hair . . . if you’re doing them now, then you get a gold star!

Hair Care Tip #1 Don’t Shampoo Daily

Shampooing your hair daily can strip your strands of natural oils that protect your hair and can effectively dry your hair. Skip a day or two of shampooing to allow your natural oils to be distributed through strands naturally. Brushing your hair daily with a boar bristle brush helps to pull the oils through your hair.

If your hair feels greasy after 24 hours, use a dry shampoo product in-between regular shampooing to get rid of excess oil and shine without stripping your hair. Try this year’s favorite dry shampoo at the hairdresser Choice Awards; TIGI Rockaholic Dirty Secret.

Hair Care Tip#2 Color Only Re-Growth

When touching up your hair color at home, make sure to only color your roots. This is a common mistake that my clients make when coloring their hair at home. The result is color build-up on the ends and mid-shaft of the hair. It looks like a dye job done at home! It is unnecessary to color the entire length of your hair every time you do a touch up. Simply touch up your re-growth only. If the rest of your color is looking dull or faded, use a glaze (my favorite, John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze) to refresh your ends.

Hair Care Tip #3 – Take Your hairdresser’s Suggestions

A professional hairdresser is just that . . . a professional. With years of training and experience, a hairdresser is typically able to pinpoint a few different hairstyle options that would look great on you. Switching up your hairstyle regularly is also important and that’s where a hairdresser can help you. You may be stuck in a hairstyle rut simply because it is comfortable and you don’t know what else to do with your hair.

Next time you are at the salon, ask your hairdresser for a few new hairstyle ideas to inspire you. Bring them by your most trusted family and friends if need be, but take the suggestion . . . it’s probably time to make a change.

Hair Care Tip#4 – Protect Your Hair from Heat Damage

We are all guilty of using flat irons, curling irons, hair dryers, three barrel wavers and other heated hair styling tools without heat protection. But after reading this, there are no excuses . . . go out and get a heat protectant product for your hair! I see too many clients with damaged (or even worse, burned) hair come into the hair salon asking for help, but of course by then . . . it’s too late. Don’t be one of those clients! Protect your hair every time you use a heated styling tool.

Hair Care Tip #5 – A Great Blow-Out

Ever notice how fabulous your hair looks after the hairdresser blows it dry? That’s because your hairdresser knows a secret . . . a great blow out is well worth the time spent on it because it will make your hairstyle last and will look great. Watch your hairdresser next time she blows out your hair and take notes. Then take your time when blow drying your own hair, it will be worth your while! Use a round brush, a thermal protector and blow dry in small sections using the hot and cool buttons, for a blow out that will look fantastic and last!
Follow these simple hair care tips and see how these €˜little things’ matter!
