In the ‘80s women loved the curly and wavy hair that you could get a perm. With a single perm you would have great hair for a time. Much longer than if you curled your hair yourself. Now the perm is coming back. More and more salons are starting to offer perms again. But the new perm isn’t quite the same old perm that was around in the 1980s. Here are three things you need to know about newly permed hair.
The Demand is Different
Back in the ‘80s, women were looking for very distinct curls in their hair. While they do add a flair to your hair, it isn’t what a lot of women are looking for. Women who are going to salons now are looking for something slightly less showy. The modern perm is often being used only to give women slightly wavy hair.
Most people are seeing the slightly wavy hair as a stylish change that still has the controlled appearance.
New Perms Are Healthier
One of the reasons that women stopped getting perms was that it was discovered that perms were damaging women’s hair. Traditional perms had a large number of chemicals in them and wore the hair, especially if you had them often.
Now modern perms have less chemicals and have moved to healthier versions of what chemicals they do have in them. The process is different but still, leaves you with the same great hair. Choose whether you want a slight wave or bouncy curls, either way, it will be healthier.
Perms Can Be Done In A Wide Amount Of Styles
Perms in the ‘80s had far less variety of styles. In modern perms the hair is being treated with rods. Depending on the size of the rod, you can get different styles. Larger rods will give you a more wavy hair. The smaller the rod is, the curlier it will be. The smallest rods will give you defined curls.
Permed hair is the new hair style that is taking over in Hollywood but around the rest of the world too. Take a look at salons near you to see if you too can get the perm that you want.
