Perms / Straighteners 101

We can’t talk about hair theory without touching on perms.

First off, there are two types of perms: acid and alkaline. Alkaline perms are used for normal-to-coarse hair, while acid perms are better for damaged, colored, and/or finer hair types.

Acid Perms are less damaging but require outside heat to process.

How to do a Perm
Before starting a perm, the hair should always be clarified to remove buildup and other things that show up in the hair (like medications). Skip on the conditioner, which interferes with the perm solution.

Towel dry the hair; when damp, the hair should be wrapped with perm rods, using sections that are the same length and width as the perm rod.

Likewise, the width of the perm rod will dictate how big the curls will be.

When all hair has been wrapped into perm rods, perm solution should be applied to each rod individually. Once the hair has been entirely saturated, let it process for the amount of time listed on the box (typically around 20 minutes).

Perm solutions work by breaking down the disulfide bonds in your hair (the proteins that give your hair shape).

Once the hair has been fully processed, the perm solution should be completely rinsed out, and the hair should be blotted with a towel until slightly damp.

At this point, a neutralizer is applied to each perm rod; this rebuilds the disulfide bonds in the new shape of the perm rod. Let it sit there for 5 minutes before removing the perm rods and rinsing.

Voila! Now you have curly hair!

Color Correction 101
So… sometimes your color doesn’t turn out how you expected. What do you do then?

While several factors are at play (if the hair is light enough, how even the application was, condition of the hair, etc.), hair toners can usually help. These unique hair colors are designed to deposit pigment and change the tone.

As previously mentioned, you can use an ash color to neutralize the brassy tones… or a violet-based toner to kill the yellow hues.

French Twists for 2023
As for what type of updos, hairstylist Brown says we can expect to see lots of modern French twists with curled pieces out and pinned to the top of the head. “I recommend spraying a lightweight hairspray—Maria Nila Styling Spray is my favorite—at the roots and throughout the entire head before brushing the hair up into a ponytail or bun for a more secure hold,” Brown says.
