Yes. But this is usually considered desirable damage. Perms are used to add curl and body to straight hair types. The hair is wrapped around perm rods, broken down chemically, and then chemically reassembled. The result is a curly pattern to the individual hairs and an increase in volume and body. Perm damage can cause the hair to be brittle, and dull. The damage can often be minimized by conditioners and reconstructors.

No. Everyone's chemistry is different so I say that with a little caution. The solution is good for the hair but it may cause extremely few people dry scalp. The shampoo however is pretty aggressive...it has to be in order to remove the lice cure solution. You may notice dry, irritated scalp from the shampoo but, you can always switch to your normal shampoo (although you may have to wash several times)

Routine hair coloring is safe, as are most perms. However, perms in combination with relaxers can cause hair damage.. Combining several different chemical processes can damage the hair's natural proteins, making hair brittle and hard. Hot combs and hairstyles that produce traction on the hair follicles can damage them and may cause permanent hair loss.

The Great Lengths technologies ensure that there is no damage to your own hair, providing that you follow the correct after care program as recommended by your Great Lengths technician and you visit the hair salon for a regular maintenance (preferably monthly).

The answer's yes, really. Any messing about with your hair ? from excessive heat drying to perming and colouring, can irritate a sensitive scalp.

But, like you, they won't have dandruff all the time.

A Absolutely not. Damage can only occur if they're applied incorrectly or left in too long before either being taken out or replaced.

Answer: I had my hair highlighted blonde (not by choice unfortunately) about 2 years prior to getting it done. There was still a lot of blonde at the ends of my hair. I then had my hair highlighted in the same appointment as my magic straight. I didn't see any problems and my hair seems to be okay now. Apparently the women at the salon didn't have a problem highlighting it right after the magic straight either.

Always, go to an extensionist who has been in the field for a while. Damage can be caused by inexperienced placement. For example, Strand by strand extensions should not be placed on the baby fine hair at the nape area. There are several types of extension methods available today. Track gluing or track sewing, does not allow the scalp to breathe. This method causes "bad things" to happen under the glued or sewn in track.
