Yes, long hair can be permed! However, there are a couple of things to remember before making that appointment. First, you want to talk to your stylist about your color history – past and current. There are all kinds of perms on the market and only certain types can be used on colored hair. Second, be sure to have an in-depth consultation with your stylist about your desired look. Make sure to discuss perm rod size, type, and the “wrapping technique” so that you end up with the appropriate curl pattern.
