Hair Perming Facts
While lovely lustrous curls may be really desirable, especially for those who have thin, straight, limp hair and are looking to add body to it, perming is the physical wrapping of the hair into shapes and a chemical bath that breaks and then reforms the disulfide bonds of your hair. In other words, the chemicals soften the inner structure of the hair. So when you do go for a perm, you need to remember the following:
· Some people may be allergic to the solution used for perming. If the solution is left in for too long it may be damaging for the scalp even to the extent of causing blisters. And getting frequent perms is not a good idea. Also remember not to color your hair just before getting a perm, because a perm will generally strip your hair of such additives anyway.
· Sometimes hair can perm unevenly, so make sure that the stylist applies the solution in an optimum manner for the optimum length of time as well.
· Perming chemically alters your hair, so be prepared to take very good care of it once it is permed especially since permed hair is very prone to split end. Also use a wide toothed comb to comb your hair.
