Types of Hair Perm
Salon Perms
Salon perms will always do a better job and are a lot safer .Also professional hairdressers can offer a number of different types of perm that are not available for home use.
Acid perms
Produce highly conditioned, flexible curls. They are ideally suited to hair that is fine, sensitive, fragile, damaged, or tinted, as they have a mildly acidic action that minimizes the risk of hair damage.
Alkaline perms
Alkaline perms give strong, firm curl results on normal and resistant hair.
Exothermic perms
Exothermic perms give bouncy, resilient curls. "Exothermic" refers to the gentle heat that is produced by the chemical reaction that occurs when the lotion is mixed. The heat allows the lotion to penetrate the hair cuticle, conditioning and strengthening the hair from inside as the lotion moulds the hair into its new shape.

Hey all, I am a hairstylist so i can give you good advice. If your hair is medium length, your hair will look shorter so if you like the length think twice, I suggest you go at a professional hairdresser for a good consultation and ask for a test curl also to see the size(Small, medium, large) of the curl that perfectly fits you. Do an incompatibility test to check if you have any metallic dyes in your hair due to home use products(If you have been colouring your hair with commercial home use colours most probably you will find this metallic dye that can react with strong chemicals such as perm lotion.)
note: If the hair stylist does not offer any tests during the consultation, do not allow the stylist to do you a perm. If you truly love your hair search for a hair stylist that works professionally and knows what she/he is doing.
Hope that I gave you enough information. If you would like to have more advice don't hesitate to ask.

I am letting my perm grow out and with perms you have dry, frizzy hair, so for a year I was not using Shielo products. Man I was missing out on soft silky hair.
Well I started to straighten it everyday and I wanted something to use before and after I straighten it. The Antioxidant Protectant from Shielo got great reviews on other websites. Just a spray goes a long way!
I have thick hair and it's a little past my shoulders and a spray is enough for me. I put some in my hair before I use my straightener and after I'm done to tame flyaways and lose the frizz. It leaves my hair so soft and shiny! I'm glad I tried this.

hi, i have naturally wavy hair, almost shoulder length. i love my hair when i leave it to dry on its own, by scrunching it and leaving it with out brushing, but couldn't possibly go out as it doesn't have a nice shine or overall healthy look, and when i blowdry my hair it just has a slight kink and i look like a tomboy... hate it. I wouldn't say my hair was in bad condition , just needs a few split ends cut off...i am growing out the red i have in my hair and going back to my natural colour, will the left over dye make the perm ruin my hair? and which perm do you think is best for me to use. i do not want an afro curl, but do want it quite curly? help!! thankyou x

I have thick broken short hair that was once long but because of the damage began to get shorter and shorter.Currently right now my hair is to my shoulders but is broken in the back and isn't growing at the rate i wish it was should i even consider getting a curly perm? i haven't put a perm in my hair in about 3months and it is very kniky at the roots. would a curly perm be the another solution that will grow it out and be stylish? if so what kind would you suggest?

I have quite long wavy hair that is fairly healthy and I really want a perm. However, I have heard about all the disadvantages of a perm but I still really want one. I dont want a perm that looks like an afro but I still want it to be reasonably curly.

I have long straight, thick hair, and was wondering if a perm would make my hair look fuzzy or if it would really end up with curls after washing it and sleeping on it and stuff?? Thanks

Hi im 19, ive colored and hilighted my hair many of times since i was about 15. I have stick straight hair that doesnt hold a curl without a ton of hairspray. I want a perm just ot get some wave and body to it, since its flat and thin as a board. But i don't want to pay alot of money for it and it may not hold in my hair. I don't know if i should get one or if it will most likely not hold in my hair. Does a perm usually hold in thin, super straight hair?

hey, im 14. Never had a perm in my life. i want to get a perm before right before school starts, my freshman year. My hair is thick and really straight, its down to like the bottom of my shoulder blade, if i get a perm, would it look good? and how short will my hair become? i just want a really loose perm that is a little more than wave, but not full on curls. Should i do it?
