Perms take straight hair and make it curly. The risks are similar to those associated with relaxers. These days perms can be fine-tuned to give you exactly the kind of wave you want.
You can get perms that just add body to fine, limp hair, you can get loose, sexy waves or you can go for the corkscrew curls that many straight-haired girls covet (and some curly-all-their-lives girls are sick of).
How long does a perm last?
Generally about 3 to 5 months. After 3 months re-perm your roots so they match the rest of your hair.
Can I wrap in perm solution?
It is best to wrap with water or Enhancer and apply the perm solution afterwards. To ensure healthy even curl, we suggest choosing the right perm for the type of hair and following manufacturer's directions.
Perming different types of hair
Fine Caucasoid hair is probably the 'worst' hair to try to perm. It has the smallest diameter, and needs the minimum amount of perming solution and processing time. The photograph above shows you what the results of over-perming can be!
Post Perm Care
After your perm, shampoo with ammonium-based shampoos.
