The process creates curls that last for about 2–3 months. Steps: Wash: Use a clarifying shampoo to remove dirt, oil, and residue. Don't use conditioner. Analyze: Examine the hair and scalp for abrasions. Hair porosity affects how long the perm takes and what solution is needed. Section: Divide the hair into sections. Apply solution: Soak the hair in a cold wave solution. Wrap: Use rollers to tightly curl the hair into small curls. Neutralize: Apply a neutralizing solution to stop the chemical reaction and set the curls. Rinse: Rinse the hair with cold water. Condition: Apply conditioner to the hair. Aftercare Don't wash your hair for 48–72 hours after the perm. Don't comb your hair for the first 48 hours.
