The spectrum includes straight hair, naturally wavy to tight-coiled. Perming is a hair treatment that allows you to change the texture of the hair. It involves using certain chemicals on the hair that react with the keratin protein in the hair, breaking the existing hair bonds and pushing them to hold a new shape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, hair perms come in a range of variations. Depending upon how closely or loosely they are wrapped together, hair perms have an entire world to themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for small, tightly held, and uniform curls from root to end? Go in for the spiral hair perms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the body wave texture to create a wavy pattern. It helps create loose, soft curls to enhance the face look.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need to highlight specific areas of the hair, spot perms help do the trick. They also help create a curly and bouncy look.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have short hair? Pin curls can help create volume within the hair.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to include different styles into one? The multi-textured hair perms can help you create a complete look.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_a_Perm_Treatment_Work\"><\/span><strong>How Does a Perm Treatment Work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A perm treatment can last for a few hours, depending on how long your hair is. The process involves a two-stage chemical process. In the first stage, the chemicals react with the hair\u2019s protein to break the existing hair bonds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ammonium thioglycolate is the most commonly used chemical in perms. However, people with thin and fragile hair are often treated with a milder perm treatment chemical known as glyceryl mono thioglycolate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the hair bonds break, the hair stylist will closely wrap the hair around a styling rod. How loose or tight your curls will be will depend upon the thickness of the styling rod. This allows the bonds to restructure into curls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While hair perming treatment is often referred to as a \u2018permanent\u2019 treatment, the hair starts to get back to its original shape when the new roots grow in. For people with short hair, the curls typically last for 3-4 months. However, for people with long hair, the results can last for up to 8 months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Potential_Side_Effects_of_Hair_Perms\"><\/span><strong>What are the Potential Side Effects of Hair Perms?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If done correctly, hair perms are a style to stay. Incorrect application of the perming chemicals can lead to skin irritation. After-care is equally important as chances of hair loss, hair breakage, and scarring alopecia are high. Moreover, hair perms are not recommended for children under 13 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"After_Care_of_Hair_Perms\"><\/span><strong>After Care of Hair Perms<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep your curls beautiful for a long time, a proper after-care routine is a must. The important instructions include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not touch or wash your hair in the initial 48 hours after receiving the perm treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use soft water for hair wash as the chlorine in water damages the hair.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid heat styling your hair.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not use alcohol-based hair products.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moisturize your hair regularly for a shiny and healthy look.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear a silk cap while sleeping to protect the hair from matting.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair perms look beautiful. From the subtle waves to closely coiled ringlets, the options are far too many. While the curls give a carefree vibe and give a low-maintenance feel, the reality is exactly the opposite. The chemicals used in the hair perm treatment wreak havoc on the hair and, therefore require immense after-care to prevent the hair from getting dry and brittle.
