Can a permanent wave cause hair loss?
On One Hand: When Done RightA properly executed permanent wave (or perm) will not damage your hair. A professional stylist will prevent a perm from damaging your hair, either through hair loss, or through other less-drastic side effects of a bad perm.On the Other: Mistakes HappenWhen chemical perms are applied too often, and the chemicals are applied too strong, or left in for too long, undesirable side effects may result. On rare occasions, improperly applied styling products may cause chemical burns to the scalp, resulting in permanent hair loss.Bottom LineA properly applied perm won’t damage healthy hair.
