Before giving a permanent wave to dry, brittle, damaged, or overprocessed hair, it should be?

Reconditioned
Cut
Bleached
Straightened

The correct answer is: Reconditioned

Reconditioning is the process of restoring the moisture and protein balance in the hair. Before giving a permanent wave, it is important to recondition dry, brittle, damaged, or overprocessed hair as the chemicals used in permanent waving can further damage the hair. Cutting is not necessary before giving a permanent wave if the hair is not excessively damaged. Bleaching should never be done on damaged hair as it can cause more breakage. Straightening should also be avoided as it can cause further damage to already damaged hair.
