You cannot perm chemically straightened hair. When you relax the hair you split a lot of the bonds in the hair that give it it's shape. So if you want to perm it again there are not enough bonds there to work with. You have to wait until your hair grows out and you are left with your natural hair again.

Wash your hair before you perm, but don't use conditioner.

If you wash your hair too early, it may effect the perm results. I'd also suggest getting your hair trimmed after a perm.
