Sorry we haven't answered your question earlier.
You should rinse the Permethrin out of your hair immediately.
How is it now?

Thanks! I applied it Saturday night & rinsed it Sunday Morning. What I'm thinking is that it acks like permanent. When I applied it, I pulled it up in ponytail. However, I do have a Dr. appt tomarrow! Does that sound pretty close to what might have happened?
