If not used properly yes. Perm is a caustic chemical that curls the hair and relaxers straightens the hair. There is a certain amount of time each should be left on, then should be immediately rinsed and shampooed out. Normally with a perm you shampoo and rinse the hair first and with a relaxer you apply it to dry hair and new growth only, then shampoo with a neutralizer and rinse. You also may need to repeat the shampoo process more than once to make sure everything is removed and for your hair to take the new straight or curly shape, this process is called rebonding.

If applied properly your hair should be in optimum condition.

Will your hair damage if you straighten it with a straight perm?

curl perms? i have never heard of that. but what i know is that if u get growth and then cut all the straight permed hair ur natural unpermed hair wont be damaged. and once ur hair is long enough ur could tong ur hair to make it straight. once in a while tonging ur hair is good but not everyday. All kinds of perms cause damage because the hair is treated with chemicals which can make hair more porous and thus can be easily breakable. So yes curling perms will cause damage.
