Learn More About Permanent Waving Your Hair!

Want to change your hairdo? Aside from a mohawk, one of the most exciting ways to alter your look is with a “perm” or permanent wave. It can increase the fullness of soft, fine hair, put a curl or wave into straight hair, or simply make your hair easier to style. Success in home perming is choosing the right product

Once, anything other than a professional salon perm put you at risk of looking like Don King. But today, there are excellent, easy-to-control home permanents for every type of hair.

The key to success in home perming is choosing the right product for your hair.

Curls 101

• Hair is curly or straight because of complex physical and chemical bonds. A permanent changes hair by breaking those bonds. You use rods to reshape the hair, then neutralizer to let the bonds reform.
• Make sure to treat your hair with the proper conditioners prior to the waving process.
• Sectioning and blocking involve dividing your head into uniform working areas. This requires a lot of practice and is a big advantage of a professional perm.
