What You Need To Know About Hair Perm
Since ancient times, hair perms have come a very long way. Now a
days, perms are very fine tuned than when it used to look so fake.
You can get the exact kind of wave that you decide to get. If your hair
has a very low volume, you can turn up the volume by giving it some
bouncy curls and sexy waves.
There are a few rules that you can keep in mind when you are thinking
about going for a perm. You need to be aware of these to be able to
decide if perms are just what you need for your hair.
Should you get it?
Hair that is not coloured, works best to be permed. The chemicals that
are used to perm hair are very harsh and they for hair that is double
processed. In fact even hair with highlights are not right to be permed.
However, to let your salon stylist decide always make sure you ask him
about your hair’s health before you proceed with a perm. A very good way
to find out if your hair is healthy for a perm, you can find out with a
simple old trick. You can start by taking a few strands of your hair and
letting it float on a glass of water, if the hair sinks, it means that
it is damaged because it is soaking up moisture. Therefore, you might
not be a good candidate for a perm.
Time taken
It can take up to two hours to get a perm. It depends on how long your
hair is and how fast your stylist can work. After getting a perm, it can
take up to 28 hours for the hair to settle. So you should not be getting
worried about your hair if you don’t get your desired result soon after
the perm.
How long does it last for?
Permed hair lasts for about two to six months.
How to find a stylist?
You can find many stylists in your locality for a perm. You can call the
salons in your area and find out who specializes in perms and then get
an appointment. Perms are no more popular like they were in the 80s.
Therefore, you might want to ask around and find out which stylist is
good at it. You can also ask around to your friends who have had a
stylist who has performed a perm before and try them on recommendation.
Taking pictures
Make sure that you take pictures of the kind of wave that you want when
you go to the salon. If you leave your stylist with vague ideas about
how you want your waves, you might find that you would land up with
something that you wont desire too much. Only with the picture, can your
stylist be able to tell you if your waves would come out the way you
plan and he will also be able to decide on the kind of curlers to use
when curling your hair.
You will also need to prepare your hair beforehand without using too
much of chemical based products on your hair for at least 24 hours
before you get your perm.
