A perm is short for "permanent wave," and it involves the use of chemicals to create curls or waves in your hair that will last for several months. The process works by breaking the bonds in your hair and then reforming them in a new shape. This is done using a solution that is applied to your hair and then set with a heat source.
We’ll talk about three types of perms: simple, cold, and digital.
Simple Perm
A traditional perm involves the use of a solution that is applied to the hair and then set with heat. This type of perm creates small, tight curls that are perfect for people with short hair. It works by wrapping your hair around small rods and then applying the solution. The rods are then heated to help set the curl.
Cold Perm
A cold perm is similar to a traditional perm, but it uses a different type of solution that does not require heat. Instead, your hair is wrapped around rods and then the solution is applied. This type of perm creates looser curls that are perfect for people with longer hair.
Digital Perm
A digital perm uses a special machine that heats the rods to a specific temperature, which creates a more uniform curl. This type of perm creates soft, bouncy curls that are perfect for people with long hair. Digital perms are also less damaging to your hair than traditional perms.
How does a perm work?
Perms work by breaking the bonds in your hair and then reforming them in a new shape. The solution used in the perm contains chemicals that break the disulfide bonds in your hair. This allows the hair to be reshaped, and the new shape is set using heat.
