Question: I'm looking for hair with more volume and soft waves. How do I get that? Believe it or not a thoroughly modern perm is the way to get all that. Any more the perming process has evolved. No harsh chemicals like your grandmother may have had to resort to. A soft wave can be amazingly gentle on your hair. Here are some tips to remember if you are looking to add curls or waves this way. Better Hair Through Better Science: Unlike the old days, nearly benign, ammonia free solutions go easy on your hair. Heat Free Zone: Once you've had your hair permed you should avoid hot styling tools. That's because the chemicals required in the perming process when exposed to heat can do bad things to your hair. Nightmare Perms: A perm can be fouled up for any number of reasons. Doing things like washing your hair too soon, leaving the solution in too long or not long enough, and perming color treated hair can all cause problems. First thing to try when smoothing out a frizzy perm is hydration and protein. Next trim the ends for relief. The most desperate measure is to lop of as much as you can take to give you hair a chance to grow out healthy. Catch the Wave: Shirley Temple curls aren't the only possible outcome. Think added body, more fullness, and great waves. What you end up with comes down to the tools and chemical potions used. For added fullness you want to see bigger rollers in your hair. Little Known Perm Fact: Bet you didn't know that those who perm regularly have it done three maybe four times a year. How frequently depends in part on how long your hair is. Not For Timid DIYers: At least not if you love you hair. And especially if your locks are already tending to straw like or you've got the least bit of scalp problem going on. If Trying This At Home. Use the shampoo that comes in your kit. It's a specially formulated neutralizing shampoo included to complete the perming process. Permanent Odor: The one persistent complaint women have is the smell. And despite advances the first time you wash it you will definitely notice the odor. But that diminishes over time. The perm is back and better than ever using new and improved technology. Just take care if doing it yourself and maintain your hair with the right styling products afterward. If your hair is begging for a new look you may have found how to get it with a new perm. Free Articles: It's true few can answer questions about fine hair like author Suzan K Bishop.
