Hey lhcf! I've lurked for a while but just paid my 6.25 earlier this week. I've tried using the search feature to get more info on this topic but came up short so I figured I would star a thread on curly perms. So a few q's:
1. What brand of perm do you use
2. What is your maintenance routine
3.have you noticed increased length retention because of curly perms
My answers :
1. I'm currently under the dryer getting my first curly perm and the stylist used hawaiin silky
2. Routine will be:
Once a week: prepoo with creamide heavy oil, shampoo with Shea moisture raw Shea butter line, dc with Marie dean honey dc (peach scent in case anyone cares), moisturize with oyin juices and berries(glycerin heavy), seal with vanilla monoi oil
Daily: moisturize and seal with oyin and monoi oil
****im unsure as to how to handle the protein moisture balance with this kind of a chemical so if anyone has any tips I would appreciate it******
3. N/a
Also I was wondering about how stretching works with these the stylist recommends 2 month touch ups but I was hoping to stretch til 4 or 5
Oh and I obviously am getting this done on 100% natural hair (type 4b ish)
