FAQ Perm Collection
We recommend 60 ml / 2 fl.oz – 120 ml / 4 fl.oz depending on the length of the hair.
One full application bottle per perm session, for very long hair, please use 2 application bottles of Express Rinse.
If you want an ammonia-free, gentle perm with soft curls, choose Soft Perm. Classic perm is a classic all-around perm for all needs that gives you firm curls and texture.
No, you can wash your hair after a perm, but make sure to use gentle and conditioning products. Still remember it is good to wait up to 24 h before the first wash so the curls can stabilize.
Choose the Care & Style collection that best suits your hair, however, it is important to moisturize your hair after a perm, so it is recommended to use moisturizing and repairing treatments.
Up to 6 months in a sealed bottle.
No, not at this time.
Not recommended, but it is always up to the hairdresser to analyse the hair structure and condition.
Soft Perm is ammonia free.
Soft Perm is the gentlest because it's ammonia free, it also contains Sodium PCA, a humectant which helps to maintain moisture in the hair.
No, it is not recommended.
Express Rinse consists of Magnesium Sulphate and Magnesium Chloride that lower the pH of the solution, thereby slowing down the chemical reaction of the perm solution by reducing the activity of the reducing agents.
Cysteamine is a milder active ingredient and is gentler on the hair.
2 – 6 months. A tighter perm with smaller rods lasts longer than a softer perm with bigger curls.
Yes, you can use 2 different curl formulas from the same system. But we don´t recommend mixing Soft and Classic perm in the same session.
Ready to use!
If left on too long, more sulphur compounds may be released, which will intensify the unpleasant odour. Additionally, over processing can damage the hair cuticle, trapping up the smell for a longer period.
