Avoid washing your hair for at least 48 hours after a perm. Water can weaken the chemical bonds that formed during the perming process. Additionally, refrain from using heat-styling tools like flat irons and curlers initially, and be gentle when brushing or combing your hair to prevent breaking or loosening the curls.
