Quality Products
One of the main tips that you need to keep in mind, in case you have got your hair permed, is to make use of quality products. While buying shampoo and conditioner, make sure to opt for a good brand. At the same time, go for hair products specifically meant for permed hair.
Shampoo Frequency
Since perming requires your hair to undergo chemical treatment, it tends to get drier than usual and needs the natural oils produced by your scalp. So, keep the shampooing frequency limited to 3 times per week. In case you have to wet your hair in-between, make sure to condition only (do not shampoo).
The Frizz Problem
Even if your hair is healthy, dryness can easily make it frizzy. To keep frizz at bay (and even make the detangling process easy), it would be advisable to make use of a leave-in conditioner. Again, make sure that the conditioner belongs to a good brand and is meant for permed hair only.
Fly Away Trouble
Permed hair often becomes victim to the problem of fly aways, another consequence of dry hair. Using a serum would be the best bet for controlling them. You can also make use of gel and mousse, but they might make the curls crunchy and sticky.

Weather Protection
Try to stay out of heavy wind as well as harsh sunlight as much as possible, as both of them can dry out your hair and make it fragile. In case you have to go out in such weather, make sure to cover your hair completely. This will provide protection to your hair, to quite an extent.
Drying Permed Hair
After you have washed your hair, it is advisable to let it dry naturally (air-dry). As far as possible, try to stay away from blow-dryer, as it will make your hair exceedingly dry. After letting your hair air-dry, make sure to pull the curl into place, by resorting to a pick or a wide-toothed comb.
