Procedure for all types of Perms

The procedure for perming hair using different types of perm rollers is quite similar, with variations in how the hair
is wrapped around the rollers and the technique used to achieve the desired curl or wave pattern.
General procedure for perming hair using various types of perm rollers:

1 Prepare the Hair: Start with clean, dry hair that has been detangled and divided into sections based on the
desired curl pattern and the type of perm rollers being used.
2 Apply Protective Barrier: Place a protective barrier, such as cotton or tissue paper, around the client’s
hairline, ears, and neck to protect the skin from the perm solution.
3 Select Roller Size: Choose the appropriate size and type of perm rollers based on the desired curl size, hair
length, and texture. Consider the client’s preferences and the desired outcome.

4 Apply Perm Solution: Mix the perm solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions and apply it to the
hair sections using an Applicator brush or spray bottle. Ensure that each section is thoroughly saturated with
the perm solution.
5 Wrap Hair Around Rollers: Begin wrapping the hair around the perm rollers, starting from the bottom sections
and working your way up. Use the following techniques depending on the type of perm rollers:
a Classic Rods: Wrap the hair around the rod from the ends towards the scalp, ensuring even tension and
smooth winding for uniform curls.
b Spiral Rods: Twist small sections of hair around the spiral rod, starting from the ends and working toward
the scalp. Secure the ends with clips or pins.
c Flexi Rods: Wrap the hair around the flexible rod, starting from the ends and rolling towards the scalp in a
spiral motion. Bend the rod to secure the hair in place.
d Magnetic Rollers: Place the hair section on the roller and roll it up towards the scalp, securing it with the
magnetic closure. Ensure the hair is evenly distributed on the roller for uniform curls.
e Velcro Rollers: Roll the hair onto the velcro roller, starting from the ends and rolling towards the scalp.
Press down gently to secure the roller in place without the need for clips.
f Hot Rollers: Heat the rollers according to the manufacturer’s instructions and roll the hair onto the heated
roller, starting from the ends and rolling towards the scalp. Secure the roller in place and allow it to cool.
6 Apply Neutralizer: After wrapping all the hair sections on the perm rollers, apply the neutralizing solution to
each roller, ensuring even coverage. Allow the neutralizer to process for the recommended time.

7 Rinse and Remove Rollers: Once the neutralizing process is complete, rinse the hair thoroughly with
lukewarm water to remove any residual perm solution and neutralizer.Carefully remove the perm rollers from
the hair, starting from the bottom sections and working your way up.
8 Style and Finish: Gently blot excess water from the hair with a towel and apply a conditioning treatment to
restore moisture and nourishment to the hair.Style the permed hair as desired using heat tools or allow it to air
dry naturally. Avoid brushing or combing the hair until it is completely dry to maintain the curl pattern.
9 Aftercare Instructions: Provide the client with aftercare instructions, including proper shampooing,
conditioning, and styling techniques to maintain the perm and keep the hair healthy.\
10 Follow-Up Appointment: Schedule a follow-up appointment with the client to assess the results of the perm,
address any concerns, and schedule future touch-up appointments as needed.

A digital perming machine, also known as a digital perm machine or a hot perm machine, is a specialized tool
used in modern hair salons to create long-lasting, voluminous curls or waves. Unlike traditional perm machines,
digital perm machines use a combination of heat and chemicals to reshape the hair’s structure, resulting in soft,
natural-looking curls or waves that last for several months.
