If you simply want a looser curl, apply a “hot oil” treatment. This can be done as often as needed. If this doesn’t relax the curl sufficiently, a perm may be reversed by applying another perm. Instead of the hair being wrapped around perm rods, it is gently combed straight while the chemicals are applied.. After processing, the hair is neutralized in the straight position.

When straightening out hair with a permanent wave, you will not get bone straight hair. The curl, however can be reduced. Buy a perm for your hair type (resistant, color treated, bleached etc.) Be sure to read your perm directions before applying. Shampoo hair and towel dry. Apply the solution to the hair. Comb through, smoothing the hair out as straight as possible, do not comb it continually, just sit quietly without much movement until the suggested time has past. Rinse and towel dry, and apply the neutralizer with one combing and rinse after 5 minutes. Do not use conditioners until 2 weeks afterwards. You can use Phinish by KMS. It will not undo all your work and can help condition and remove perm odor.

The disadvantage of this process is additional damage to the hair strand. Permed hair may be porous and dry. The damage may be further minimized by treating the hair with conditioners and reconstructors (after two weeks.) You may need a trim on the ends if for nothing else than unevenness from the straightening. Warning! Do NOT try to straighten a perm by using a chemical straightener! These products may contain lye and will melt your hair! Chemical straighteners are designed for natural curly hair (corkscrew pattern)or ethnic hair types. They are best left to a professional!

If your are such a girl dreaming of the most beautiful prom dress that you can find, consider that it will not look as great as it could be, if you forget the importance of prom hairstyles to accentuate your dress.

Sexy looking up-dos, short hairstyles, long hairstyles, and even funky styles, prom hairstyles are a world apart to choose from right one for a stunning looking appearance on this special night. A balanced combination between your dress, shoes, accessories, hair, makeup, and the magic of a perfume, are a just a few points of attention for a gorgeous look.

Many great prom hairstyles are created in the salon, but that does not mean that you cannot get astonishing results with a hairdo made at home by yourself or with the help of your close friends to achieve the hairstyle you want. You can find a good source of hairstyles through online photo galleries, and also browsing beauty magazines and catalogs.

Decide on the style that best fits your personality or the special look you want on your prom night. Sophisticated, classic up-dos are always great to wear on one the most important events of every woman’s life. Hair extensions are a great aid if your hair is not enough to design a fashionable style.

Prom hairstyles come also in long hairstyles and short hairstyles. You can always visit a salon if you are unsure of your choice, and make an appointment. You should call the salon at least one to 2 months prior to the prom to set your appointment. Many other girls will also be setting their appointments and you want to be sure to have yours. Jot down the date and confirm the appointment 2 or 3 days before the date to make sure nothing has changed.

Think of your personality, or the self-image you want to offer on prom night. Many young women want to look like an adult serious woman by getting a dress, makeup and hairdo that makes him feel like as if they were a total stranger to themselves, while others prefer to become that woman, leaving in the past, any teenage look.

The most important thing is be yourself. Consider also that short styles are more often associated with casual or sporty lifestyles, while long hairstyles are more likely associated with a sexy looking image.

Explain to your friends or your stylist what the exact look is that you want, and consider having a trial. Most salons gladly will guide you through many prom hairstyles until you find the right one, whether with hair extensions, up-dos, long hairstyles or short hairstyles.
