    Perms last for different times for different people depending on there hair, if you have dry hair it could be the weather. Try a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Does your hair have some natural curl to it? If not then that's along time and it should be out within another 2 month depending on how fast your hair grows. The thickness of your hair. Ask your hairdresser.

    perms last for about 2 months and then its time to get a touch up and to help it not dry up is to oil it and wrap it before u go 2 sleep

    Perms are permanent. They last until your new hair grows in at the top, which has never been permed.

    a perm is supposed to last until it has grown out. which is.... a long time. though my sister got one and it faded away in like a week, so its really all up to your own hair type. and how well your hair holds curls. good luck!

    you're supposed to do it over every 6-9 weeks...

    the exact time u choose would depend on how fast your hair grows out. but get it permed again when your new growth is obvious.

    i do mine every 9weeks just because I like to give my hair some time. you kno when you do it too often your hair breaks &/or fall out. I tried doing mine every 6weeks but my hair was breaking.

    get your hair treated at least once inbetween perms.. it's good for your hair because of the vitamins like protein

    The usually last a few months. You can get them to last longer if you don't wash and blow dry your hair every day.

    Anywhere from two to three months
