Remove Smell of Newly Permed Hair

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I was 11 years old when I got my first perm. I was going through THAT adolescent phase. So I cried, kicked and begged my mom to allow me to get a perm. I went at it for months until she relented.

On the day that I got my perm, I was so excited. What I didn’t expect was the strong smell of the perming chemicals I had to endure at the salon, during and after the procedure.

See, three days after getting the perm, the smell of chemicals still lingered on my hair.

Do you have the same problem as I did? Then be glad you dropped by my blog today.

Now how can you remove the smell of perming chemicals that linger on your newly-permed hair?

Make sure your hair is dry and unwashed. You will be washing your hair after this treatment anyway.
Apply tomato juice on your hair, from the roots to the tips. Make sure that your hair is well-staturated.
Get a shower cap and cover your hair for 20 to 30 minutes.
Rinse the tomato juice off your hair.
Shampoo and condition your hair as per your personal routine.

Now you can enjoy your pretty new curls without the smell of perming chemicals following you everywhere!

Thanks for posting this, I got a perm 12 days ago and my hair still had that foul sulfer odor after like 4 washes, I rinsed it vinegar after reading online that vinegar removes the smell, however it burned my eyes and I only left in for maybe a minute and a half before rinsing it out. I could smell the perm chemical as the vinegar extracted it, but sadly it only washed away about 75% of the smell, and left behind the vinegar smell, even after shampooing twice! I will try the tomato juice tomorrow and wear the shower cap, hopefully it will remove the rest of the smell. I’ll let you know if it works!

If you got a perm from a hair salon…ISO makes a solution that you put in towel dried hair after the final rinse following a perm. You leave it on for about 5 minutes and then rinse hair again. You or your clients medications will help to trap and hold the perm smell. Make sure to you a clarifying shampoo before the perm, lathering the hair and letting the shampoo sit for 5 minutes. Then use a perm stabilizer solution prior to the perm so that the clarified hair does not frizz due to the stripping shampoo.
