Perm ruined my hair, what to do now?

Hey, I really enjoy your site, and signed up recently/

My problem is: I used to have thick, black silky hair, and it was straight at the top and waves at the bottom. I mendhi

If Mendhi means Henna.....You're right Permanent waves and Henna DO NOT work together. Did you tell the Stylist that you had Henna on your hair before the first perm?

If Henna is involved, it is most likly the reason your perm didn't take well. My recommendation is; Don't Mendhi (Henna) your hair again if you want Perm, straightening or color on your hair in the future.

There are so many options that are WAY better then henna.

I just have to add ...If you have henna on your hair before a perm....and I don't know if you do....The Perm didn't ruin your hair. It just couldn't process through it. Sooo, you could have ended up with some parts processed and a lot of parts not.

Sorry ditto post

hi sophie i was wondering the mendhi is supposed to be a conditioning treatment!? i though henna was used as a colourant just wondering if it isn't a good option for conditioning then what is!? thanks

Hi Kat, Is Mendhi henna? I'm only guessing.

I'm a Big Redken Fan. I really like Deep Fuel and i've loved Cat for a lot of years...Theyaren't that expensive. The Cat is really affordable, easy to use and goes a very long way.

Shades crystle Clear under the dryer for 20 minutes and a cool rinse....great shine that lasts. A Salon treatment but I love it of course.

Alterna just came out with a new Permanent Shine ...I have really liked it so far. A salon treatment and a bit pricy....but worth it. IMO
