Can you put a curl over a perm?

You can still straighten, curl, and style permed hair just like you would normally. If you go in for a perm, you can expect to be in the salon for a few hours, depending on the length of your hair. When going to the stylist, bring pictures of what you want because you can decide how tight you want your curls to be.

What do I do if I don’t like my perm?

If you want to undo the results of a perm, or relax a perm, wash your hair with Color Protecting Shampoo and Conditioner to cleanse and hydrate your hair, and to help relax your curls. Apply a deep conditioning treatment or hot oil treatment, cover your curls with a shower cap, and leave on for several hours.

Do you put curl activator on wet hair?

The cream can be either used alone or in a product cocktail (layering 1-3 products) to style your hair, after your shower. Make sure your hair is soaking wet. If it’s damp, you will get more frizz & it won’t be the fault of the product!

What is the difference between curl activator and curling cream?

To me personally there is’nt much of a difference, however, the curling cream is thicker than the activator. I don’t think you need to use both as using together or alone do not change your curls. My preference is the curling cream. They both helps with defining your curls and moisturizing your hair.
