Can i perm over high lift tint highlights?

[myworld]

Hi,
my boyfriends offered to pay for me to have a perm! we both love the tousled off the beach hair look, my hair does this but only when abroad in a hot humid climate. In England it straight.
I have highlights with high lift tint, can i perm or not.? and if i can which is a good make to use i have a sally near me.
Many thanks.

Please don't tell me your gonna try and do this yourself?

Hi, it depends on your hair type, porosity, elasticity etc, the condition of your hair.

I most certainly would not recommend doing this yourself, you should always have Chemical services done by a hair professional.

I would suggest going to your local salon to have a consultation done....
Hope this has been helpful, good luck.

christ on a bike DO NOT DO THIS YOURSELF!!!
i did a perm on a client with all over high lift and though it wasn't wrecked it also wasn't the best... she was addament she wanted it..
there is no way you could diy this...
you would need correct size rollers, end papers, how would you even wind it?? proccess time after trying to make sure you are evenly covered... really, it's just not worth your hair falling out!!

anyhooo,, answer to your question............ yes it can be done but not by you
good luck!! x

Hi, Ruby if you arn't a hairdresser then I wouldn't risk doing a perm yourself
as its risky enough for a hairdresser to do ... I think perms are ok for unprocessed virgin hair but even then they never look completely natural but are quite nice if done correctly ,

on hair with high lift colour on it then I would leave it alone as it may frazzle it , you should go to a good hairdresser and ask him / her to run some test curls on it first,
or even ask your local college
then you can see the result for yourself :hug: hth minky
