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.

How do you do a piggy back perm?

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.

How do you carry out PRE-PERM TEST CURL?

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.


How do you roll a spiral 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.
