What Is A Perm?
Perming, a popular hairstyling technique, has evolved significantly over the years. From the tight curls of the '80s to the more natural waves of today, perms have become a go-to method for those seeking lasting changes in their hair texture. However, it involves chemical processes that can be taxing on your hair, making post-perm care crucial. In this context, products like FUL Reset Repair Shampoo and Conditioner, and FUL Hyaluronic Acid Hair Serum, play a vital role in maintaining the health and beauty of permed hair.
What is a Perm?
Short for 'permanent hairstyle,' it is a chemical process that alters your hair's natural texture to create curls or waves. This is achieved by breaking down the hair’s protein structure and then reforming it around rods of various sizes, depending on the desired curl tightness. The two main types are:
Traditional Perm: Involves winding hair around rods and applying a chemical treatment, resulting in more defined and structured curls.
Digital or Hot Perm: Uses temperature-controlled rods and a different chemical formula to create softer, more natural-looking waves.
The Chemical Process and Its Impact on Hair
It involves using chemicals like ammonium thioglycolate to break down the hair's natural bonds, followed by another solution to set the new curls in place. This process can be harsh on the hair, leading to dryness, damage, and frizz.
