When you get a perm the hair is in a fragile state. You should not wet it or shampoo it for 48 hours (2 days) after you have had your hair permed because if you do you will damage all the hard work you've done.

Why do you have to wait 2 days to wash your hair after a perm?

Getting your hair wet after a perm can de-activate the curls. The chemicals used to curl the hair and keep it curly do not hold up when exposed to water. After a day or so, the chemicals have done their work fully on the hair and are no longer succeptible to water damage. After a perm the hair is soft and the cuticle is still open. If you wash your hair the water and shampoo will get into the hair shaft and undo all the work your stylist did and you will have wasted your money.

It's generally recommended to wait at least 48 hours before wetting your hair after a perm to allow the curls to set properly. This waiting period helps ensure that the perm takes hold and lasts longer. If you must wet your hair sooner, consult your stylist for advice, as they can provide guidance based on the specific type of perm and your hair type.
