How long does a perm last? Tips to keep it longer

Nov 6, 2026

"My perm falls out too quickly" is one of the questions we hear most. It depends on hair type, length, and daily care, but a perm usually starts to loosen after about 3 to 4 months.

With a little care, you can keep it looking good for longer.

  • For two days after a perm, do not wash your hair, and avoid tight ties or pins.
  • After shampooing, press out water with a towel and gently scrunch the curls upward as you dry.
  • Use a wide-toothed comb and do not comb wet hair roughly.
  • Dry ends make curls fall out and look frizzy. Apply conditioner mainly to the ends.
