Getting the Most From a Spa Perm Treatment

Perms come in many styles. Originally called the permanent wave, perms now can be used to straighten, curl or make hair wavy. Basically if you do not like the kind of hair god gave you, get a perm to change it completely.

Because perms and color treatments both damage the hair, it is best not to combine them. As the hair is damaged you may need new keratin hair treatments from a beauty salon Denver.

Hair that is too damaged will not maintain its chemical barrier. It starts absorbing water you can test it by seeing if it floats. Hair that sinks in water has been damaged to the point that you should not do any additional damaging treatments.

Your hair stylist can recommend perms that would work with your hair type. In general, thick hair is much more receptive to permanent treatments. The perm process works by chemically breaking the bonds in your hair.

The Denver hair stylist then applies a neutralizer to stabilize the hair, but the perm is not completely settled for 24 hours. As you know from the climax of legally blonde, this means that you should not wash your hair during this time period.

Some perms, especially straight perms, work with heat instead of chemicals. They use a flat heated plate to seal the hair into a straight state. Usually people with straight hair wanted it wavy or curly, while wavy or curly haired people wanted a straight perm.

Once completed, the perm should last about 2 to six months. The hair should stay in the shape, but as new hair grows, it will grow in its natural pattern. Call ahead to your beauty salon Denver to see if they have a perm specialist. As styles come and go some salons do not have a perm specialist.

The best advice I can give you to ensure you get what you want is to bring a picture. The specialist has a lot of control over the type of perm they can give you, but words can never do as good a job explaining as a picture. You will also want to see a specialist if you have African hair.

Before you have the work done, make sure you and the hair stylist are on the same page. Ask her about the length of the rods and any post-perm care you need to do.
