Permed Curl Products: Recommendations?

[Anonymous]

HI've been thinking about perming for a while now. I haven't seen my stylist in a while, but she did recommend biolage, a product which I had never heard or seen before. Some people tell me it's not that great!; but I'm willing to look into it more. Does anyone have suggestions on their favorite line or unique cocktail of products they use on their curls? Permed and natural? I'm really looking for sulfate-free, alcohol free, lightweight, hydrating (and definitely non-crunchifying) products - so when the time comes for my hair transition (it's gonna be quite a big leap) I'll be ahead of my game. No wasting tons of money and being endlessly frustrated. I want to bring up that my hair is pretty fine, and when my scalp doesn't go through an itchy, dry period, it tends to get oily. My roots usually have zero lift. My ends also get pretty dry. Haven't really found anything yet that I know for a fact id be die-hard for, but the hunt is still on. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Our formulas are a perfect option for a many reasons.  First, they provide INSTANT repair for all hair types.  This is great because since you will be getting a perm, your hair will need repair and hydration, which is exactly what our formulas provide.

Second, our formulas work very well for curly hair.  So now that you will have curly hair, you will love our Iles Formula Finishing Serum.  You will watch your curls come to life before your eyes.  They will be very hydrated, which is what curly hair needs to perform its best.

Best part, you can order it right here from Sephora.com if your are interested.

FYI - your scalp is going to be super dry and probably flaky after the perm. after that passes, you'll notice you won't be as prone to oiliness as before.
