UPDATE: 5 months post-perm-- how it wore & my re-perm

[@cherylgriffiths8333]

You got a real Stevie Nicks thing going on there! Love it!!! Everyone has a slightly different perm schedule, and it's good that you've worked yours out. Every 4 months / 3 times a year is not uncommon. The trick is to line it up right - the first week of April, August and December is a good strategy to ensure you have fresh curls for spring, summer and Christmas every year!

[@LexiLadonna]

I didn't even think about how it lines up with the holidays but that's so perfect!

[@jmac2828]

Looks terrific! Glad you did it again!

[@VeroRacDup]

Your hair grows SO FAST!

[@LexiLadonna]

girl it so does. This is why I had to cut my own hair on deployment hahaha. Miss you!

[@graftonmorganjessica2937]

My girl love it, I think the layers you did earlier were the trick, I like this wrap better than the spiral, and I love it with the curly bangs. definitely a disco look. just keep it trimmed keep the layers sharp and I think you will get some awesome length of time out of this perm. I love late 1970s and 1980s looks, go and search 'Pam Ewing perm on tv show Dallas, and you know you are on the right track. That lady who does your hair knows what she is doing she is darn good, and I think going to an older stylist who was doing these styles in the day was your best decision.

[@LexiLadonna]

Ahhhhh I looked it up and I love her hair! I haven't trimmed my bangs to hang forward again yet but I probably will tonight... wish me luck lol

[@thomashogan9143]

I love it! I love the full brushed look. So pretty!

[@deadelfuoco3202]

Your hair this time around is the shit! I love it!

[@natasha5578]

This is the EXACT HAIRSTYLE I WANT 🔥

[@LexiLadonna]

go for it!! I'm so glad I took the plunge. It took me awhile to figure out how to care for it, but once I did it saved me so much time in trying to style my hair like this with curlers all the time

[@marisollozano5012]

Love your hair and it matches your personality very fun❤

[@mariechenelle7797]

Your hair is so beautiful! This is the exact perm I want and I'm so glad I stumbled across this video. I do have a few questions though. Did you get your bangs cut after you had the 1st perm? Should I get mine layered and cut before I do my perm or should I wait til after? I figure maybe it's best to just wait and get the perm done first then go get it cut since the hairstylist can actually be able to see it and go from there

[@LexiLadonna]

I think you should wait until after, that way you can know how the curls will lay! I got my bangs and layers cut after my perm

[@mamafoccardi9682]

Where did u get ur hair permed?

[@samf.s.7731]

This hair is perfection imho... If I can get mine to look like this with more of a honey blonde color then that would be fantastic.

[@MrFilipFabulous]

Loving the fluffy look,!

[@rebeccapollard1717]

What did you ask for this time, I'm just one day after perm and its still pretty flat and I'm hoping to achieve the fluffiness. My hair is a bit shorter than yours just a little past my shoulders, planning on growing it out. When you style it do you use any products ? I'm assuming you don't use gel?

[@LexiLadonna]

No, I don't use gel! I don't like it to be crispy. I use a little bit of curling mousse which is more lightweight and I also got a diffuser attachment for my hairdryer. That way I sort of put a little handful of it in a little pile against my scalp and hold the diffuser directly against it so it dries up with volume and not straight down lke I used to blow dry my hair when it was straight. I also went and got more layers cut in, like way more layers. Just be careful who cuts it, it should be someone who knows curly hair.

@@LexiLadonna thank you so much !!

[@dianneeckert7653]

Love it!

[@Sophchie]

Hey can I ask what type of perm you got? Cold perm? Chemical etc? I know there’s so many of them now. Thank you :) and also the size of the rods? ❤

[@LexiLadonna]

It’s a spiral perm. I’m not 100% sure on the differences between perm styles but no heat was used, only the chemical agents. They used slightly different perm rods with my hair each time. I don’t know the exact sizes but I do know that perm rods are color-coded so if you watch the video you can see what colors they use and that’ll correspond to a certain size. Not very many places do spiral perms anymore but I wanted to retro 70/80s look so I found an older hairstylist who’s been doing perms since the 80s. All the other clients in the salon are elderly, I love it!

[@Sophchie]

@@LexiLadonna thank you so much! Also do you have any dye in your hair at all? I have grown my hair out for anyway and a half before that was getting black dye at the salon not box dye/ my hair looks dark brown now and is in good condition do you think I’ll be safe to do?

[@ZA-sy7dn]

Great video Very informative and helpful

[@sallyfrench007]

You manage to make every stage look really cool! My MP got hers done lately and she’s rocking it, although I think I like it a lot more for having seen yours first, rather than just “why did you get my mum’s haircut from 1985?”

[@LexiLadonna]

haha so fun! thanks :)

[@janedaley3478]

Perms look great on you - curls really are your style!!! Are you planning on continuing to get perms for the foreseeable future?

[@LexiLadonna]

Yes, I am! They really make me feel great!

great curls

[@aliciadeborahdeza9905]

Ahhhh! I LOVE IT!!

[@fidgetgizmo1938]

When did it start to relax, and to what degree each month?

[@LexiLadonna]

I would say it really started to relax around two months. Up to that point it hadn't relaxed too much. I got the perm mid-December and you can see in the videos I posted in January and even into early February it was still very curly. Then suddenly in early February it started really looking a lot looser

[@CD-oh1gi]

How did the second perm go? Did she only perm your roots?? How?! I’m dealing with regrowth and my stylist is trying to think about how she may be able to just touch up the roots

[@LexiLadonna]

No she re-permed my entire head but I’d had a haircut with layers in do she didn’t have to piggyback a second layer of rods that time. If she had only done the roots when the perm solution was being washed out it could have straightened the ends of the hair not wrapped in rods as it was washed passed

[@EM-vl6fu]

This is an old video but there's not a lot of content about re-perm - so thank you 😊! How did your hair handle the re-perm? Especially the ends. Did they feel rough or damaged?

[@ERiCAA8829]

i wish my hair didnt get greasy fast!! ahhh
