Bad Perm!

When the permed hair had gone bad it can be a major headache. There are some advice that should help get rid of the perm.

1. Gather a large bottle of conditioner, garbage bags, plastic wrap, or plastic grocery sacks, canola oil and towels.
2. Put your head over a garbage can, sink, or tub, apply enough canola oil to thoroughly soak the hair from root to tip.
3. Wrap hair with a plastic bag or wrap.
4. Then wrap plastic with a towel to retain the heat and hopefully to prevent any oil from dripping.
5. Leave the oil on the hair for an hour or two.
6. Shower and rinse hair completely. Get rid of the oil completely, use a gentle shampoo to help loosen it up.
7. Lather hair with conditioner rinse and repeat.
