No, the appearence of your natural hair fibers is determined genetically and it cannot be changed by anything you apply on the scalp, to already grown hair. If your hair is naturally wavy, your new hair will always grow wavy.
Restoring hair after a bad perm involves patience and proper care. Start by trimming damaged ends, then nourish your hair with deep conditioning treatments and avoid heat styling. Consider using products formulated to repair and strengthen hair. Additionally, consult with a professional stylist for personalized advice.
It's generally recommended to cut your hair after getting a perm. Here's why: Curl Formation: A perm alters the structure of your hair to create curls or waves. Cutting before can make it difficult to see how the curls will form and can lead to uneven lengths.
In short, no. A perm (which is short for “permanent”) is a harsh chemical process to change the texture of one's hair. Permed hair can be removed but not reverted to its original texture besides temporarily, through flat-ironing or blow-drying. If...
If you want a more immediate solution, go back to your salon and ask for a creme perm to be applied over the permed outgrowth (to help “reverse” your perm). Bear in mind that this is an additional chemical process that might be stressful for your hair and could lead to breakage.
If you are unhappy with your perm service, go back to your stylist and discuss the alternatives. If it is too curly, your stylist can relax it. If it is not curly enough, wait at least a week to redo it.

Using this treatment should loosen the perm to make it more manageable to re style, but you may need to repeat the treatment for a few weeks to really see results if your perm is acting stubborn and will not relax after one treatment.
Get regular haircuts
Your curls will become less pronounced as your hair grows out. Trimming your strands every 3-4 months will keep your perm looking its best.
Neutralizer: a neutralising liquid for perms, containing hydrogen peroxide to restructure and strengthen the hair's bonds.
Usage of The Wrong Conditioner/Shampoo
An example of an inappropriate shampoo is clarifying shampoo. Although clarifying shampoos are excellent for removing product buildup from natural hair, they are too harsh for freshly permed hair and cause the curls to give way too soon.
Multi-textured perm
This style is a great way to create natural-looking curls that vary in texture. Like a stack perm, your stylist can use different-sized rods and rolls to create a combination of tight and loose curls. This results in a layered style that closely resembles natural curls that vary in tightness.
Avoiding Excessive Heat: The best way to care for permed hair is to avoid heat styling when possible. If you must, always use a heat protectant. Deep Conditioning Treatments: Processed hair craves moisture. Regular deep conditioning can replenish lost hydration, ensuring your curls remain bouncy and vibrant.
Coloring your hair immediately after perming may compound the damage and cause your hair to become dry and brittle, or may result in split ends or itching of the scalp. If you want to perm and color your hair, leave an interval of at least a week in between to lessen the burden on your hair and scalp.
If you've gone for a style that's closer to your natural texture, modern-day perms are formulated to make regrowth as natural-looking and effortless as possible.
A reverse perm is actually the process of taking curl OUT of hair. It can be used to change a naturally tight curl to a looser curl. It is often referred to as retexturizing.
Don't expose your hair to too much heat. Avoid using curling irons, hair straighteners, and other heat styling tools as much as possible, as they can damage your perm. If you must use heat styling, be sure to use a heat protectant spray first. Don't wash your hair too often.
