Unlike temporary styling methods, a perm creates a long-lasting change in your hair's natural texture. The results can last for several months.
Chemical Process:
Perming involves the application of a chemical solution, usually a perm solution or lotion, to break and reform the hair's natural bonds.
Curling Tools:
Hair is wound around perm rods or rollers to create the desired curl pattern. The size of these tools determines the resulting curl size.
Processing Time:
After applying the perm solution and winding the hair, it needs to be processed for a specific amount of time, which can vary depending on the hair type and desired results.
Neutralizing:
Once the hair has been processed, a neutralizing solution is applied to set the new curl pattern and stabilize the hair's structure.
Professional Styling:
Hair perming is typically done by a trained hairstylist who can assess your hair type, select the right products, and perform the process correctly.
