Wanna Perm Your Hair at Home?

Perming your hair at home is not as easy as some people think. There is a lot involved in this than just applying a perm solution and you think you will have a great curl. You have to remember you are applying a chemical to your hair and have to think about what type of curl you want to achieve before doing this or you will end up with a head of frizz and no curl. Also you have to think is your hair in good enough condition to do this. There is different types of perm solutions to perform different jobs and uses. There is a alkaline perm which I recommend for hair that is very resistant, stubborn, lack of elasticity, and resistant gray hairs. A elasticity test can be performed by taking a piece of hair from underneath, cut it off, and pull on it to see how strong it is. If it breaks easily that means it's very porous and lacks elasticity. Then there is a acid perm which I recommend for someone who has colored treated hair, damaged hair, frosted hair, hair that's in good condition, relaxed hair. This is a milder perm and not as strong as the alkaline one.
