What Is a Reverse Perm?
What is a Reverse Perm? A reverse perm is truly the method of practice that involves taking the curls out of hair. It is generally used to convert a commonly set and firm curl to a loosened curl. It is oftentimes referred to as the retexturizing method.

Can I get a reverse perm?

It is the opposite of a regular perm, where you break down the bonds to curl your hair. You can achieve a reverse perm at home using a waving lotion or gel to loosen tight curls. It is a safer alternative to straightening or relaxing coily hair.

Can I Unperm my hair?

If you want to undo the results of a perm, or relax a perm, wash your hair with Color Protecting Shampoo and Conditioner to cleanse and hydrate your hair, and to help relax your curls. Apply a deep conditioning treatment or hot oil treatment, cover your curls with a shower cap, and leave on for several hours.
