It's All About Hair. What Is A Perm A perm is a process where your hairstylist treats your hair with a chemical to alter the structure and permanently wave or curl you hair. Here are some red flags to look for if you are thinking about getting a perm: Perms for Highlighted Hair — If your hair is highlighted, perming will most likely not be in your best interest.
Especially if you have a lot of highlights. The reason is because the chemicals in the perm, do not necessarily mix well with bleach or lightener. Which will more times than not, result in breakage.
Perms for Dry Hair — If your hair is dry or already damaged, then it definitely would not be wise to apply a perming solution over the top of that.
This will result in more damage, and hair that is completely stripped of moisture. Perms for Short Layers — Short layers can be tricky with perming. If the rod is too big, there will be no curl pattern at all, on the other hand if it is too small, then your curls will be super tight. Types Of Perm Wraps There are many different ways to wrap a perm. Spiral Perm A spiral perm is when the rod is placed into the hair vertically. Body Wave A body wave is a perm that is wrapped using larger rods, but still allowing for a loose curl patter to form.
Spot Perm A spot perm is one where rods are strategically placed to encourage curl in certain areas of the hair. A spot perm can be placed on the ends of your hair to create curl and bounce in the lower portion of the hair like this image below: On the other hand, a spot perm can also be placed at the root area to help encourage volume in the hair like shown below.

Short for "permanent hairstyle," the perms of the 80s meant permanently straightening, curling, or waving the hair via a chemical solution. Before you can understand how a wavy perm is different from a regular perm, you gotta know how perms work. In the simplest of simple explanations, a perm is a chemical treatment that breaks the bonds of your hair to change its structure, leaving your hair with a new texture.
But you can expect the end result to be waves—maybe beachy waves or loose waves or somewhat tighter waves but wavy hair all the same. According to hairstylist Briana Dunning , the best candidate for a perm is someone who has healthy virgin hair , meaning that their hair has never been dyed or chemically treated although Dunning says that single-processed color is fine—just nothing that involves bleach. Depending on your hair texture and how your stylist permed your hair, you can expect a wavy perm to last anywhere from four to six months before needing a touch-up appointment to keep your waves fresh.
Again, because wavy perms are so customizable, the final price will depend on where you live big cities are way more expensive than rural areas , the length, health, and texture of your hair, and the skill level of your stylist. So no sweaty gym sessions, no showers, and no hair ties or clips while you sleep. By not washing your hair, oddly enough. And make sure to do your research beforehand. So if you have short hair and only want a slight wave, expect for it to take much less time than if you wanted your butt-length hair in ringlets.

You should not be messing with your hair or touching it too much. To refresh your curls you can apply a salt spray in the morning to perk up your curls and either let it air dry or hit it with the diffuser once more.

As with any chemical process it is always recommended to keep up with trimming your hair to keep it as healthy as possible and to keep your style and hair looking its best. Whether you choose a traditional perm or an American Wave Perm make sure to talk to your stylist about what your expectations are. Different perm rod sizes can be used to achieve different types of curls. Smaller rods can be used to achieve tighter curls, and larger rods can be used to achieve bigger waves.
Also talk to a professional before making this decision. This is always a better option than depending on Google to tell you what you can and cannot expect with your hair. A professional stylist can tell you about your different options, what looks you can realistically achieve and what kind of maintenance to expect. Pricing with perms is just like other salon services, it is dependent on the length and density of hair.
Special wraps can be an upcharge. There are tons of perm trends and options in the current market. The most important question is, which one is right for you?
