Study Notes

Hair Perming Process: Key Concepts

Ammonium thioglycolate softens hair by breaking disulfide bonds, enabling reshaping.
Reducing agents break disulfide bonds during perming, allowing flexibility and new shapes.
Perming provides versatile styling options, including volume, texture, and waves.
Perming offers long-lasting style, reducing daily restyling needs.
Perming boosts confidence and self-expression through personal style.
Modern perming techniques minimize damage with gentler chemicals.
Heat accelerates perming solution effectiveness during reshaping.
Perming expresses personal style by allowing various textures and shapes.
Alkaline perming lotions expand hair shafts to create curls/waves.
Endpapers protect hair ends by distributing perm solution evenly during perming.
Endpapers are placed at the bottom of the hair section, before rolling onto rods.
Using endpapers prevents damage, ensuring smooth curls/waves.
Single-endpaper technique keeps sections clean, preventing tangling.
Double-endpaper technique provides better support for smooth, lasting curls.
Precise hair sectioning ensures even perm solution distribution and shape.
Hair sectioning affects curl size and shape.
Traditional perming uses larger rods for loose waves, longer processing times, and alkaline solutions.
Modern perming uses smaller rods, faster processing times, and often acidic solutions for tighter curls and less damage.
Understanding client's hair history is crucial to avoid negative reactions.
Client hair history checks help avoid dry, brittle hair and scalp irritation.
Before perming, checking scalp condition for irritation or infection is vital.
If scalp issues exist, advise the client to consult a dermatologist.
Scalp conditions can impact perm outcome, affecting curl pattern or causing irritation.
Client satisfaction is confirmed through direct questions about their satisfaction with the results.
Addressing client dissatisfaction involves listening to concerns and making necessary adjustments.
Client feedback helps build trust and maintain positive relationships.
For clients with scalp concerns, use a scalp-soothing treatment beforehand.
Hair length determines the number of perm rods needed.
Hair density impacts the number and size of rods needed.
Higher densities require more rods to ensure even solution distribution.
Density also impacts processing time; higher density needs longer.
Hair texture, desired curl pattern, and scalp condition guide rod size/number selection.
Thinner hair may use smaller rods for a fuller appearance.
Coarse hair needs more solution; fine hair needs less.
High porosity hair requires more perming lotion due to lower moisture retention.
Lotion type/amount depends on client's hair texture, desired curls, and scalp.
Resistant hair may benefit from using higher pH perm lotions.
Hair sectioning is the first step, ensuring the even distribution of solution.
Wrapping hair around perm rods shapes the desired curl pattern.
Neutralizer stops perming action, stabilizing new curl structure.
After perming, rinsing removes the solution to prevent irritation.
Continue rinsing until the foam disappears for full solution removal.
Gentle towel drying avoids damage to hair cuticles after rinsing.
Post-perm conditioner restores moisture stripped during the process.
Hair should be checked to meet the client's desired outcome.
Client input during checking ensures satisfaction.
Addressing dissatisfaction ensures client feels heard and expectations are met.
Post-perm waiting time (24 hours) prevents washing to allow curls to set properly.
Hair texture and curl pattern dictate the best perming options for desired outcomes.

Specific Client Example

A client with fine hair and a natural curl pattern would likely achieve loose, beachy waves with loose curls, aligning with their desired look.
