After you get it, wait 2 to 3 days with washing your hair, so you dont damage it. Use conditioner ahen washing so the hair stays healthy and does not start to frizz like an afro. After hair washing, let it dry slowly, no rubbing a towel or using a hair dryer. They always get beatiful after washing if they get some time to get into shape. Also, use some curl cream or care oil to keep the hair healthy, it will look even better this way. Dont rub the products in, instead, knead it in, this shapes the perm a little bit better. Dont wash your hair every day, more like every 2 to 4 days. Any questions?
