3. Pour into the dish a mixture of 20 parts of 6 per cent hydrogen peroxide and one part ammonium thioglycolate (general purpose perm lotion). Make sure that you are not bending over the dish to avoid splashing the chemicals on to your face or inhaling any resultant fumes.
4. Watch for signs of bubbling, heating or discolouration. These indicate that the hair already contains incompatible chemicals. The hair should not be permed, coloured or bleached if there are any signs of reaction. Perming treatment might discolour or break the hair and could burn the skin.

It's particularly important for individuals with sensitive skin or those who have previously experienced reactions to hair products.
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.
