there are bonds in the hair, kind of like a metal link chain that are in place to determine the curl or straightness of the hair, a perm breaks those links, and sets them in a new position permentantly.

Perming involves chemically altering the disulfide bonds in hair to create a semi-permanent curl or wave pattern. The hair is first wrapped around rods, and a waving lotion is applied to break and reform the bonds. This process is followed by a neutralizer to stabilize the new bond configuration, setting the hair in its new curved shape.

Is crimping better or perming?

Krimping is better than perming because perming uses chemicals that can damage your hair and you have to wait for it to grow out but krimping while it isn't good for your hair is not a bad as perming

Why do permanent waves need to be neutralized?

Neutralizing the hair after a permanent wave helps to rebalance the pH level of the hair, which is disrupted during the perming process. This neutralization step also stops the chemical reaction of the waving lotion and helps to ensure that the hair remains in its desired shape after the perming process.

What do perming lotions and neutralizers do to the hair?

These can age hair or dry it out. However there are many shampoos you can use that undoes these affects. Perming lotions chemically rearrange the disulphide bonds (which give the hair it's strength) within the hair cortex (inside the hair) to make it wavy/curly. The disulphide bridges are split by the addition of hydrogen from the perming lotion. New disulphide bridges are formed and the hydrogen chemically changed. The neutraliser is added to stop this process. The neutraliser is an oxidising agent and supplies oxygen to the process. The hydrogen reacts with the oxygen and turns to water (H2O). And thus stops the perming process. If it were not stopped it would cause irreparable damage to the hair.

Do hair lasers play a role in perming hair?

Currently there are no lasers that are designed to perm hair. The perming process uses chemicals to change the bonds between certain amino acid molecules in hair. Currently, the laser energy is both too strong and non-specific so it will only damage hair. Perhaps in the (not too distant??) future they will design lasers with hair perming in mind that will either directly produce the perming effect or augment the curent array of chemicals that perm hair.

How temperature effects the perming process?

Temperature can affect the perming process by altering the speed of the chemical reaction that breaks and reforms the disulfide bonds in the hair. Higher temperatures can speed up the process, leading to faster results but also increasing the risk of damage to the hair. Lower temperatures can slow down the process, but may result in a less effective perm. It is important for the temperature to be carefully controlled to achieve the desired outcome while minimizing damage to the hair.

How long to you wait to dye your hair after perming it?

It is not recommended to apply more than one chemical process to your hair, since it is very damaging. But when working in the salon, I would suggest that the client wait 2 weeks before having another chemical process done (perming or coloring) if that was what the client wanted.

What if you dont like the perm that you put in what can you do?

Don't worry. It can be undone. There is a process called relaxing, it's like perming (chemical process) but it is used to straighten the hair. Your hair will be put on large rollers to take the wave out of it. Talk to your salon about it.
