The well kept secrets of perms!!

Benefits of perming your hair and the drawbacks.
1.) To add curl If your hair is fine and limp, getting a perm just might do the trick for you. Gone are those days of tight, poodle type curls. Now you can choose from a variety of size curls... and perms. From small rollers to large, 1 ½ inch rollers, perms are out of the dark ages. A large roller will give you a very soft curl. As if you were to use a large barreled curling iron. A smaller roller will give you more of a spiral look.
2.) To relax naturally curly hair If you have naturally curly hair, that is unruly, perming can tame those locks of your. By using a larger roller then your natural curl size, perming will break down your hair and create a new curl.
3.) And to straighten hair Yes, you can use a perm to straighten hair. However, this method is tedious and time consuming. The lotion would be applied and then the stylist would comb your hair straight for the length of the timing. Sometimes up to 20 minutes. This method would only be used on hair that is almost straight, the type of hair that has a slight way to it. However, it is more gentle then relaxing your hair.
4.) To even curl on naturally curly hair. I have used perms also to make the top of your hair curly when it is straight but the bottom is naturally curly. This method is great because you only perm parts of the hair. So you have even curl everywhere. This would be beneficial for people with natural curl.
5.) women also perm their hair to give body, they still blow it out with a round brush everyday like a normal style, but have loads of body due to the perm.
Perms have come a long way, in even the past 5 years. They are made for all hair types now. You can choose the desired look and curl. Plus there is so many new techniques, such as perming on Velcro rollers, sponge rollers and many sizes of perm rods are available. You can even perm lightly bleached hair now too. Perms are expensive and last 3 to 6 months so that is where the name comes from perm stand for permanent because it is!
The drawback is that it can be drying on the hair, and where your stylist picks the perm types you will be using, your stylist must have lots of experience to pick the right kind or it could end badly. Perms also take a while to do so you will pay the price with, money and time. But in so many cases it is so WORTH IT
