Select Sections : Working with one quadrant at a time, determine the size and shape of the sections based on
the desired curl pattern and the size of the perm rods. Smaller sections will result in tighter curls, while larger
sections will create looser waves.
Sectioning for Different Hair Lengths : For short hair, divide the sections horizontally or diagonally, ensuring
that each section is small enough to fit comfortably on a perm rod.For medium to long hair, divide the sections
vertically, starting from the nape and working toward the crown. Ensure that each section is uniform in size and
thickness.
Blocking:
Blocking, also known as hairline protection or shielding, involves placing a protective barrier around the client’s
hairline, ears, and neck to prevent the perm solution from coming into contact with the skin.
The purpose of blocking is to protect the client’s skin from potential irritation or chemical burns caused by the
perm solution. Blocking materials may include cotton, tissue paper, or specialized barrier creams designed for this
purpose. Blocking is typically done before sectioning and perming to ensure that the client’s skin is adequately
protected throughout the entire process. Proper blocking also helps to maintain a clean and professional
appearance during the perming treatment, as it prevents the perm solution from staining or irritating the skin.
Place a protective barrier, such as cotton or tissue paper, around the client’s hairline, ears, and neck to prevent
the perm solution from coming into contact with the skin. Secure the protective barrier in place with clips or pins
to ensure it stays in position throughout the perming process.

Secure Sections : Begin with the bottom sections and work your way up, securing each section with sectioning
clips or hairpins to keep them separate and prevent tangling. Make sure the hair is smooth and taut before
securing it, avoiding any loose or uneven sections.
Wrap and Secure Hair: Starting from the bottom sections, wrap each section of hair around the perm rods,
ensuring even tension and smooth winding for uniform curls.
Secure the hair in place on the perm rods using hairpins or clips, making sure the rods are positioned securely
against the scalp.
