Perms of the 80s might not be out of vogue, but there are ample contemporary hair perms that are actually exuberant. In fact, one can even perm their hair into smooth beach waves. It is anticipated by heat, mending the natural molecular structure of your hair, hence resulting in redefined hair that depicts the shape of the rods.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF PERMING?

During the procedure, the hair structure mainly goes through three stages, taking on its new style. It is imperative to have a know-how of the different stages, so we have outlined them:

• Smoothing

As soon as the perm lotion is applied, it swells the layers of hair cuticle, divulgating the cortex.

• Mending

The lotion exhibits hydrogen that holds itself to the hair molecule disulphide bonds. The bonds opens up and become sulphide bonds. Once this stage is reached, the hair gets in a state to change to the new shape of the perming rod.

• End Result

Final stage of the perming procedure. Once the treatment is complete and the lotion has been cleansed, a neutralizing product is used. It clears the hydrogen created during the softening and adds oxygen. The broken disulphide bonds reenact, fixing the hair in the new shape.

Choosing the Excellence

There are many numerous ways to perm the hair.  Here we will list for you the different types and provide images to give you the best idea of what type of curl to expect from each type of wrap.

Spiral Perm

Such perm is when the heating rod is placed into the hair upright.  Small sections are chosen resulting in numerous perm rods.  This type of curl is generally known as corkscrew.  Although, the size of the rod is mostly based on hair length and intended amount of curl.

Body Wave

This type of perm is devised using larger rods, yet allowing for a soft curl pattern to form. It is a great way, not only to introduce movement in the hair but a smooth larger type curl pattern. Although, the duration for which this perm will last can be relatively less than that of other perm.

Spot Perm

Spot perm is the type in which rods are tactically placed to exhibit curls in specific areas of the hair. For instance, if you naturally have curly hair, but one side your hair is relatively straighter, a spot per frame can be done to create curl in that area, matching the rest of the hair texture.  This can be placed on the lower ends of your hair to create curls and translate in the lower portion of the hair

Styling and Care for a Perm

Perfect way for new curls to shine is to let your hair be air-dried, then to use a diffuser. In addition, if the client dearly wants to enhance the look of the waves, a curling wand can be used as well.

What about heat styling?

Surely, one can, but they have to be watchful. If you want to use a flat iron, make sure to keep the heat subtle, somewhere around 300ºF. However, if a flat iron is too hot, you could risk over heating your perm.

In short, for anyone who wants to play a little dramatic with their look, must opt for a hair perming.
