So I finally got a soft perm, and while it looks really nice, my hair is as dry as STRAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!! My stylist kept on commenting on how my hair was so dry, due to being overprocessed (I swim, plus I've dyed my hair countless times!!! ), so she used a really gentle perm.

Still, my hair feels like straw! What should i do?! Does anyone have any creams/leave-in conditioners that they can recommend to me??? I bought Sebastian Potion number 9 from a beauty employee's suggestion (that is a very popular product), but even that isn't working for me!!!!

I think the stronger the product, the better - my hair feels like it's gonna break soon!

Thank you for any help that you can give to me - I will appreciate it so much!!!!

I forgot to mention that my hair isn't as curly as yesterday (when I permed it), b/c it is very dry! The stylist told me that if it seems that my curls have sorta disappeared, it is b/c my hair is very dry. She said wetting the hair with water would help the curls spring back...but I'm wondering if products would get rid of the dryness?

HELP please! Thanks!!!
