Regular Member Gavinlee Posted May 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2023 I’m really confused with this post, which images are pre and which are post? Also the timings, decimal places for months??? So 5.4 months is 5 months and 12.4 days?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Der3k7 Posted June 28, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 28, 2023 I went to get a perm solution comb through to smooth out and straighten my hair 4.5 weeks ago and u fortunately the 12 minutes they left it in and combed it through was too long (I’ve done this before and didn’t have this issue) and a ton of hairs got damaged and broke off due to the nature of the perm solution and my hair has regressed quite a lot because of it. So now I am waiting for hair to grow back before posting more. But given so many hairs fell out it’s gonna take awhile. I messaged dr wong about it and he said it can take 6-8 months for it to go back to normal and it will most likely be fine. It’s cuz so many hairs fell out, takes time to regrow, but then also hairs go through the resting phase every so often as part of their normal cycle and take 3-4 months before they even start regrowing again. So for all of the hairs that fell out it’ll take some time for them all to come back. I imagine there was not any permanent damage since even using nair on body hair which literally dissolves the hair does not damage the hair follicle below and cause permanent loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time when my hair grows out and is all freshly grown hair I plan to try a keratin treatment instead as it is less harsh on the hairs.

It's not good. My buddy has really thick, coarse hair, and he wanted it straight, but it made his hair look way thinner and gave him bald spots. You can always use a flat iron to straighten it.

Senior Member Der3k7 Posted July 27, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) This was right before I got that perm solution in the top photo and the bottom photo is now about 7 weeks or so after it stopped shedding due to breakage from the perm solution. You can see I regressed because of it. I really hope the hairs come back. Te perm solution didn’t even last long.
