I had this container of perm for about a year now, is it still safe to use or should I throw it out?

I would not try that I mean its a chemical. Be safe and just buy a new one.

If this relaxer requires you to mix activator with it, then it will be good indefinitely. Unless you have opened it and broken the seal. If you have not opened it and the relaxer requires you to add activator...you're good. Relaxers that have activating ingredients already included and you do not have to put activator in it would need to be thrown out after a few months.

The first three times I used it it was perfect. Now, not so much . I'm due again and I plan to open a NEW bottle of the perm solution, the first part. I know what you mean but I'm not sure if it actually loses potency.

I agree completely with K.P. but because I only use mine for company it lasts a very long time. As long as it is stored air tight you'll have no problem! Enjoy!

Follow directions on container. I've been using it for years and have found no problem with it.

I put it in the washer on cold and the perm press cycle. It did not shrink. But it recommends drying it on the air only setting, but that doesn't really dry it. So I hung it up and turned it inside out after half a day.

Probably the best way to answer this is to view the video I posted: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3TG53V0RSNN0X/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

I leave it out on a clean washcloth and clean it again before use. I would be more concerned about anaerobic bacteria if it were stored in a closed and possibly damp container but you could possibly keep it in mouthwash, the kind with alcohol or something antiseptic.

I am sure its good for much longer but after 1 year I toss out any unused and buy new. Better safe then sorry in my book.

You can reuse it,just make sure you put it in hot water after,you combed threw the hair,I have had mine for a few months now,and every so often I check my kids hair with it,just to be on the safe side.Keep it,it's a life saver.

Kind of a funny question because if you use it regularly as I do, it will be long gone before it can expire...no? Love this stuff, it does the job!

I would suggest keeping it in the frig if you can't use within six months. That is how I store mine.

Use half save the rest in a reusable container and you should be good as long as the container is seal

This is just a guess because I threw the packaging out.3 years after using from date on package.Left unused however I would think it would last much longer,maybe even until use.

It may depend on your storage conditions. I had leftover soygel that I used a year later and it seemed OK. It was stored in a cool place. It may be best to ask the manufacturer.

I cannot answer that. I used it and disposed of the container. You might lookup the manufacturer web site.

It's a smallish bottle so if you use it daily it probably will be gone before it would go bad. But you could refrigerate it if you want.

You'd be better off asking your stylist. This really isn't a home perm, but if you are going to try it, I'd buy 2, just in case. Better to have 1/2 a bottle left than 1/2 a perm.
