A straight perm, also known as a "Japanese straightening" or "thermal reconditioning," is a hair treatment process designed to transform curly, wavy, or frizzy hair into straight, sleek locks. This method uses a combination of chemicals and heat to restructure the natural bonds within the hair, resulting in a permanent straightening effect that can last for several months. Perming should be done by a professional hairstylist, as it involves the use of chemicals and precise techniques. Attempting to do a perm at home can lead to undesirable results and potential damage to your hair. If you're interested in getting a perm, here's an overview of the process:

BONPLEX TIPS TO MAINTAIN STRAIGHT PERMED HAIR
Maintaining straight permed hair involves a specific hair care routine to keep your hair smooth and healthy. Here's a guide on how to care for straight permed hair:
Gentle Shampooing:
- Wash your hair with lukewarm water. Hot water can strip the hair of natural oils and lead to frizz.
- Gently massage the shampoo into your scalp and hair, avoiding rough scrubbing to protect the perm.
Avoid Overwashing:
- Don't wash your hair daily. Straight permed hair tends to be drier, so washing 2-3 times a week or as needed is typically sufficient.
Conditioning:
- Apply conditioner mainly to the lengths and ends of your hair, avoiding the scalp. Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle your hair gently.
Heat Styling:
- Minimize the use of heat styling tools (straighteners, curling irons) as excessive heat can damage the straight perm.
Air Dry or Blow Dry with Care:
- Allow your hair to air dry whenever possible to reduce heat exposure. If you need to blow dry, use a lower heat setting and a diffuser attachment to prevent frizz.
Deep Conditioning:
- Use a deep conditioning treatment once a week or as recommended by your stylist to keep your hair moisturized and healthy.
Silk or Satin Pillowcase:
- Consider using a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and minimize frizz.
Nighttime Care:
- Before bedtime, loosely tie your hair up with a silk scrunchie to prevent tangling.
Avoid Tying Too Tight:
- When you tie your hair, avoid pulling it too tight, as this can cause stress on the hair and affect the straight perm.
