Here's why:
* Perming process: Perming involves breaking and reforming the hair bonds, making the hair more fragile.
* Conditioner's effect: Conditioner works by coating the hair and adding moisture, which can interfere with the perming process and potentially loosen the curls.
What to do instead:
* Wait 24-48 hours: Give your hair time to completely settle and the perming solution to fully set.
* Use a clarifying shampoo: A clarifying shampoo can help remove any leftover perming solution and prepare your hair for conditioning.
* Use a leave-in conditioner: After the 24-48 hour period, you can apply a leave-in conditioner to help hydrate and detangle your hair.
Always consult with your stylist: They can provide specific advice based on your hair type and the perming process used.
