Hello, a perm rod is a small plastic curler used for perming the hair. These rods come in different sizes depending on how small or large you want your "permanant' curls. They must be used with thin squares of paper while your hair is being rolled. Usually they are color coded so professional stylists can easily and quickly finish their job. Thanks.
The tail of a perm cell, or perm rod, is designed to hold the hair in place during the perming process by securing the hair around the rod. It helps maintain tension and allows for even distribution of the perm solution, ensuring consistent curling. Additionally, the tail can assist in the application and removal of the perm rod, facilitating easier manipulation of the hair.
To perform a pre-perm test curl, you would dampen a small section of hair, wrap it around a perm rod, and apply the perm solution on the rod. Process as you would with a regular perm, and observe the results to check for hair compatibility and desired curl outcome before proceeding with a full perm treatment.
To do a piggyback perm, first, section the hair into two halves: the top and bottom. Start by wrapping the bottom section of hair around a perm rod, then gather the top section and wrap it around the same rod, creating a "piggyback" effect. This technique is ideal for longer hair, as it helps achieve uniform curls throughout. Finally, apply the perm solution, allowing it to process according to the product instructions, and rinse thoroughly.
The pre-perm test curl is typically done by taking a small section of hair, soaking it in the perm solution, wrapping it around a perm rod, and then processing it according to the instructions. This test curl helps determine the processing time needed for the desired curl result and also helps check for any adverse reactions before applying the perm solution to the entire head.
I recently got a perm for the first time. The length it makes you're hair all depends on the size of the rod. If you got really small rods the tighter the curl the shorter the hair! hope that helps (:
To carry out a pre-perm test curl, start by selecting a small section of hair, ideally from the back to avoid visible damage. Cleanse the hair and ensure it's free of products, then divide it into a small curl using a perm rod. Apply the perm solution to the curl and allow it to process for the recommended time, usually around 15-20 minutes. Afterward, rinse the curl, apply a neutralizer, and assess the curl's formation to determine if the hair is suitable for a full perm.
Wrap the perm rods, starting at the bottom of the center row in the back and work your way forward. The hair you are not wrapping should be clipped up out of the way. Of course, this is the opposite way we wrap a regular perm. We do this because spiral perm rods are long and hang down. They will be in your way the entire time if you do as you would with a regular perm. Using perm papers on the ends of the hair, start wrapping about one inch from the plug end of the rod, winding slowly towards the other end of the rod. The hair doesn't have to reach the other end of the rod; that depends on how long your hair is. After you've wrapped all your hair, apply perm solution, following manufacturers instructions. If hair is very long, two kits will be needed. You will need a larger plastic bag than is supplied in the kit; a small trash bag or grocery bag will do. After neutralizing is finished, remove the rods by disconnecting rod ends very carefully. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT PULL THE HAIR WHILE REMOVING PERM RODS.
spiral perm is rolled vertical and reg perm is rolled horizontal, I think.
Have you ever gotten a perm before? No, you are not supposed to, it would ruin your perm. {Perm means somthing along the line of PERMANENT!!}
The perm may be weakened, but it shouldn't destroy your perm.
no, just the hair.
you always perm then colour if you colour then perm the colour would fade andneed to be re-done
