did this completely alone in my bathroom lol. i’m 18yr teen and i have really shaky hands, took me like 3 hours and did plenty mistakes, but it turned out fantastic just as i wanted it, maybe even better. thank you for this video.
Awseome Tutorial. You are very thorough. I've been a hairstylist for 40 years and now that all the boys want perms, make sure you tell them to NOT WEAR ANY HATS for at least 4 or more days After the perm or it will go straight and/ or weaken the curl dramatically! I had this happen with a 17 yr old recently, who had fantastic bouncy curls after the perm, but went to baseball practice an hour after the perm and wore a baseball cap. I had no idea he was going to do that. When he took off his baseball cap the hair on the top and sides was STRAIGHT!! Yes. The curl came back after wetting it but it's not as strong and bouncy, and in my 40 years of doing hair, I've never seen this happen. But I also never had a client wear a hat right after the perm. So, Warning to everyone, just hold off wearing Any Hats for a few days or longer. I think this is important information because we have soo many males teens and young men getting perms now and also playing sports. Also, Never dry hair with a towel, or scrub the hair with a towel to dry. Alway use a good quality moisture repair shampoo and conditioner, shampoo every other day or 3rd day, and use a good Curl Cream instead of gels, to hydrate the curl and scrunch the curls to get definition. Use a pick and not a brush.
These are awesome tips! Thank you so much for sharing, I wouldn’t have even thought about the hat either, definitely know to tell people about ponytails but hats for sure is a new one so thank you so much for pointing that out ❤️ thank you for your sweet words and love the support from a fellow hairstylist
@@TheAngeSchofieldYou’ve taught me how to solve all the problems I’ve had on my last perm and I’ve been looking for a video on how to fix it for a long time😁
Just watched your tutorial a week after my sons first perm and in preparation for the next (because I’m doing it!), and no wonder his curls are already not so curly! His stylist did not follow your rules and did so many things that ultimately did not help his curls in the long run. Thank you so much for all the explanation… telling WHY we must do something is so important and I’m sure you’ve helped a lot of people’s perms stay curly longer. ❤
Dang I’m so sorry his stylist didn’t follow the proper steps but thankful you were able to find my video to help perm you are able to do on him ❤️ Hopefully your next perm is more successful with my tips 🤞🏻 I appreciate your sweet comment and supporting the channel
Literally just watched this twice so i make sure i get it right🤣. I got one of the last two perm kits from Sallys today to do my almost 13 year old sons hair. I went to cosmetology school 15 years ago and forgot how to do a perm, just remembered that we all didn't like doing them in class 🤣🤣🤣. Wish me luck, doing his hair after the Eagles game!
Thank goodness you were able to grab 2 boxes !! Sometimes a refresher is all you need to realize you still got it ❤️ I wish you all the luck your got this Mom 👏🏻
I haven't done a perm in over 20 years, but my husband wants a perm. I had to watch your video for a refresher. You explained it quite well and I greatly appreciate it. I did find it funny that now perms are done with alternating size rods. In the 90s and 2000s I'd get odd looks when I'd bring in my own rods and ask them to alternate. It looked more natural that way.
I found your channel yesterday, and I'm so glad I did. You're a great teacher. I watched this video a couole times. I went out a bought all the supplies to perm my 15 yr old son. I followed your instructions step by step. I must say my son's face said it all when he looked in the mirror. He loves his hair. I love his "new" hairdo too. Thanks for being so upbeat, and precise w/your instructions. At one point I wanted to give up because his hair is shorter and I should have used shorter rods. I kept trying and was able to get the hair rolled. Your upbeat voice kept me in a positive mood. Thank you ❤
Yay! Nothing better than a hair success story and let’s be honest sometimes impressing your teen is the absolute confidence boost you need ❤️❤️ just think when the perm grows out or needs a refresher you will be even more confident in your perming skills AND can adjust where needed 😊 appreciate your kind comment
If your hair is longer on top and mostly one length you should be able to do to yourself. It will definitely be more difficult with applying the solution or rinsing but it’s not impossible
thank you for this tutorial!! i'm a teen and i've always wanted curly hair, with my straight slavic hair i was sure its impossible. hope i get my parents' permission to do this !
My teenager sent this video to me so i can get an idea of how to help him perm his hair. Thank you for making this video, this definitely saved me time.❤
Well done!!! The personal favorite perm I love is the zotos thio free. This type of perm allows for a medium curl texture and these perms don’t swell the cuticle like other ones do.
For me the boys hair is usually faded so the hair closest to the fade is shorter so harder to use the bigger rod. I have had to drop down a size and just release it before doing the neutralizer so it relaxes a little bit. Loved the rest of the video!
Very informative video. Thanks for posting. I am male and my hair is just over my shoulders and I really want it permed. My stylist has suggested using blue benders for perming hair as long as mine. But, says she can use regular rods as well. I'd like defined curls rather than waves. Any thoughts?
Im here today because my 14 year is begging me for one!! I appreciate that this is on youtube!!! This has so much info!!! My son wants the second pic! I hope I get this right for him or he’s gonna hate me!! 😂😭
Great tutorial, this was perfect especially for me because I’m still 15 and I’m learning to do perms as well! Just a quick question, did you use parchment paper when you rolled the hair onto the perms rods?
Thank you ... I’m so glad you found it helpful while you are learning. The perm papers aren’t parchment paper they are called perm papers and are made from wood pulp
Thank you for this clear easy to follow tutorial. Quick question, Can I roll the back section up(opposite of how you rolled the back) I’ve been curling my sons hair in the morning before school and he likes when I curl it up (toward the crown) so it flips out when he wears a cap. Thanks!
Thank you for a great tutorial. I would like to know what kind of clarifying shampoo should I use beforehand? Is it any clarifying shampoo? Thank you so much. ❤️
Loved your video ! I did a perm on a boy that had super straight thick hair and it looked great when we were done but it’s now lost some curls it’s been 2 days 😞 when can I redo it and what product do u suggest!?
Thank you for watching my video ❤️ I always have them wait a week or two before re-perming. Sometimes on super thick and straight hair a tighter perm is needed to help combat the thickness. Did you take small enough sections and saturate the perm rods well? Sometimes that can also be the cause of the perm loosening. Hopefully that all makes sense
Great video! Question, my son is a hockey player, is it ok for him to wear his helmet after receiving a perm or should we try to wait at least 24 hours? Thank you!!
I Have a question. Can you use this perm solution on the previously permed hair on teen. Thank you. And thank you so much for this video. I follow your steps when I did my son’s first perm. Now we want to do his second perm)) it’s been 5 months.
I would say after 5 months you would be fine using this same perm. If you are nervous of damage I would just check the curl after 10 min (gently 1/2 unroll one perm rod and see if there is curl, if it’s limp looking and not as tight as you want let it process the full time) I’m so glad you guys found success with your first perm and I am so happy I was about to guide you during it ❤️
My 15yr old son has had probably 4 perms in the salon. He has never had color on his hair and ut is crazy thick. The looser curls Pic you posted is more his style. What self heating solution do you recommend if I'm trying at home?
Hello. Thank you for this tutorial. Unfortunately I found it too late and permed my sons hair last night. And didn’t blot hair with towel after first rinse. His hair is almost flat. Just wondering how long we have to wait to try it again.
O no, so sorry you found this a little too late but just think the next perm with be great. Personally I would wait atleast a week just to give the hair time to recover. Just know the next time you perm the timing might be less for the perm to sit since you already permed it. So do a curl test before rinsing the solution off.
I did a perm on my son about 5 weeks ago, the day of his hair went straight again, the curls would appear when his hair was wet but dried almost pin straight like it normally was . I didnt do the perm with this quantam product but want to give it a try. Do you recommend quantam 5 for a redo?
Hi! Did you not have to apply heat for this perm? Does heating affect how the hair takes the perm solution? Also, can you blow dry to style right after the perm?
Hey, @Angelina! Thank you so much for this tutorial. It really helped me A LOT! ❤Just one question. I've home made my perm first and I will have my fade haircut then. Am I allowed to wash my hair after haircut with ONLY water? 'Cause I know I cannot use shampoo or conditioner. Is it possible? Thank you again for this tutorial 🤩
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Personally I would try not to wet the hair if possible. The more times you wet the hair the greater chance you have of weakening your perm. If possible I would wait atleast 2 days so the re bonded hair can re form the new desired curl
First off, I must say your lashes are lovely! Also, the pic of the teen at the beginning on the left side, is that your son? He looks just like my son. I haven't done a perm in about 25 years and came here to get a refresher. I purchased a box perm from Sally's and it did not include the papers. No biggie as I have a few packs of papers from way back then. My question is: Can the papers not work well if they are old? They kept falling apart before I could roll it on the rod. Some of them, I doubled and tripled just to keep it on the rod. I was going crazy and almost quit and I only had to do about 18 rods. I finally managed to get through it all and the perm looks pretty good. Thank you so much for your time and helpful videos.
Thank you for the lash comment 😍 And no that is not a pic of my son 🤣 I would say if they are very old and falling apart it might be time to get new papers ... way to stick to it though because man that would be frustrating. Thanks for watching and your support
To maintain… I would say using a curly hair shampoo, don’t rub a towel on the hair while it is wet, also be careful combing it while it’s wet. You could do a silk pillowcase or a cap
I wish i could do what i want with my hair. I want a perm simply because i love curls and im one of the only people in my entire family that doesnt have waves or curls. Me and my grandma made a secret plan to have her perm my hair right before my parents make me get it cut. Hopefully my hair will be just pong enough for it.
Is it better to color the hair before the perm or the other way around if the color is done afterwards does it decrease the body of the perm or what are the cons of it what are the wait times if it's color prior to a perm and are there special preparations?
No I recommend perming the hair first and then coloring atleast 2 weeks after your perm. It does depend on the integrity of your hair… if hair is dry and damaged I wouldn’t do both. But if your hair is healthy you can’t wait the 2 weeks +. As far as softening perm curls with coloring the hair after …. There is such a small chance of that’s happening I would t worry about it BUT same as before if you decide to use bleach after a perm it will damage your hair
Very informative.... But slightly offended at the "so if you're trying to learn how to perm your own hair and you need to color your hair and you're a female" like men don't color their hair and want to learn to perm their own hair... So what if you need to do root touch up regardless if you're a male or female. Should it be done before doing a perm or wait a week after perming then do a root touch up?
Im 13 and have like no experience with this stuff and i tried doing a perm on my older brother with watching this vid and it came out great (this is his acc btw)
To create that temporary perm you would do exactly what I did in this video BUT no perm solution just sit under the dryer for 20-30 minutes and once the rods are dry you remove the rods 😊
If you are using the correct perm and following the directions it’s not bad for your hair. Perms have come a long way and there are gentle perms out there 🥰
So I have a mowhawky mullet, if I want it all to lay forward past the occipital, do I do it in two long sections across the front instead of the middle and sides?
I couldn't buy that product at Sally's or any other beauty supply store. They have it, but it's only available to licensed professionals to purchase. Is it dangerous?
A lot of products at beauty supply stores are only for licensed professionals but as far as I know that particular perm anyone should be able to purchase. They are also on Amazon
All depends on how you want to wear your hair. If you want everything forward I would roll it forward but if you have longer hair and hair that likes to lay down towards the back I would roll that down or else it might stick up
My grandson had his hair perm about 4 months ago. It still has a wave. He wants me to do another perm for him. I found your video n want to use it. Im not sure which perm to get for him. His hair is thick n it's below his ear and nose. Any recommendations on which perm? He wants it a bit curly than the results here.
Happy to help I would suggest this perm on his hair since his hair is thick and longer. This perm will be great on previously permed hair but still give a great curl pattern www.amazon.com/dp/B00I5QIIT6/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_DY2NBKY13T1WY4D6HBVM?linkCode=ml2&tag=thehairloun04-20
Thanks, that all depends on the final results you want. If you want a super tight curl and use smaller rods the hair only needs to be 2 1/2 inches long but if you want a medium curl the hair may need to be 4-5 inches and use a larger perm rod
In the video you did a pre-neutralizer and then the neutralizer. The link for product you included doesn’t include a pre-neutralizer. Is that a necessary step?
The pre neutralizer is in that particular perm because of the type of perm I used which is for dry, processed hair. Not all perms will have a pre neutralizer
Hi I want to get a perm with really short hair because I’m getting blond highlights I want to get a loose wavy perm is this possible and what do I use?
I would say perming and highlighting is not the best thing to do. I normally tell my clients to pick one or the other as it will really damage your hair
Hi fabulous tutorial thank you so much for taking the time. May I ask if i want a side parting in the hair can I use the rods sideways instead of horizontal.?I hope that makes sence thank you In advance 💓
Thank you so much for watching! Yes you can absolutely do the rods vertical just be aware of how you want the hair to fall once the rods are out (away from the face or towards the face )
What’s best to use acid or alkaline to redo a perm?? Not sure what they used two weeks ago but is not curly just wavy with some straight hair. He doesn’t have color or thick hair.
Acid perms are more gentle and alkaline have a stronger ph value. Normally alkaline is best used for normal or resistant hair types. The fact that it’s a re perm I wouldn’t use alkaline since it has been permed already
At 30 mins in, you were saying the more you touch it the more you’ll pull those curls out. Do you mean pull them out to stand out or literally pull them out where they lose curls?
You have to use the neutralizer with every perm (this is what stops the perm from processing and if not used it will cause damage) not all perms use an activator. A bottle of perm solution is 78-118 ml for this particular hair length I used may 40 ml
That’s so nice of you! The perm lasts for awhile, typically what happens is your regrowth grows out straight and that when you need to re perm. I would say you have to reperm at 2-3 months depending on how fast your hair grows
If i want medium to big curls or wavy hair, what kinda of size rods would I need? for male with medium long hair. And is also fine to use self grip rods or any other rods because the perm rods with elastic bands here only go up to 17mm or 11/16"
I have not seen one perm video instructions that is the same. Ive never seen a mixing solutiona nd never a pre neutralizer and i always saw not to wash out the neutralizer… so confusing. No wonder i cant get the perm to stick who knows!! And i did do what the box said the first two times!
Perms can be tricky when using different products than what are seen in videos. The most important is following the instructions on the box and BLOTTING to remove excess water before neutralizer.
Your hair might curl easier with it already being curly. As far as tight or looser with the length of your hair that all depends on perm rods you use. The small the rod the tighter the perm will be… if you use a larger rod (green or even peach/orange) it will be looser
at 18:14 you said that the rods should start to go forward. how would the perm look like if you kept the rods going backwards just like the ones in the back?
Hello im in the uk, i wanted to know what product to buy, because when i click the link it sends me to a different quantum kit and im scared of using the wrong one as my son's hair is virgin and im scared of messing it up?

Awseome Tutorial. You are very thorough.
I've been a hairstylist for 40 years and now that all the boys want perms, make sure you tell them to NOT WEAR ANY HATS for at least 4 or more days After the perm or it will go straight and/ or weaken the curl dramatically!
I had this happen with a 17 yr old recently, who had fantastic bouncy curls after the perm, but went to baseball practice an hour after the perm and wore a baseball cap.
I had no idea he was going to do that.
When he took off his baseball cap the hair on the top and sides was STRAIGHT!!
Yes. The curl came back after wetting it but it's not as strong and bouncy, and in my 40 years of doing hair, I've never seen this happen.
But I also never had a client wear a hat right after the perm.
So, Warning to everyone, just hold off wearing Any Hats for a few days or longer.

Thank you so much for getting back to me
Great video so detailed thank you!! About to
Try this on my boyfriend
You’re welcome!!! Let me know how it turns out
I did a perm on my son about 5 weeks ago, the day of his hair went straight again, the curls would appear when his hair was wet but dried almost pin straight like it normally was . I didnt do the perm with this quantam product but want to give it a try. Do you recommend quantam 5 for a redo?
Yes I think it would be a good choice since it is fa firmer perm. You may consider doing a smaller perm rod as well
Hi! Did you not have to apply heat for this perm? Does heating affect how the hair takes the perm solution? Also, can you blow dry to style right after the perm?
This particular perm processes at room temperature so no need for heat, some perms will have you use heat
Hey, @Angelina! Thank you so much for this tutorial. It really helped me A LOT! ❤Just one question. I've home made my perm first and I will have my fade haircut then. Am I allowed to wash my hair after haircut with ONLY water? 'Cause I know I cannot use shampoo or conditioner. Is it possible?
Thank you again for this tutorial 🤩
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Personally I would try not to wet the hair if possible. The more times you wet the hair the greater chance you have of weakening your perm. If possible I would wait atleast 2 days so the re bonded hair can re form the new desired curl
This was a great tutorial! Thank you!!
Of course. I love helping those that want to try themselves. Thanks for watching and your sweet comment
First off, I must say your lashes are lovely! Also, the pic of the teen at the beginning on the left side, is that your son? He looks just like my son. I haven't done a perm in about 25 years and came here to get a refresher. I purchased a box perm from Sally's and it did not include the papers. No biggie as I have a few packs of papers from way back then. My question is: Can the papers not work well if they are old? They kept falling apart before I could roll it on the rod. Some of them, I doubled and tripled just to keep it on the rod. I was going crazy and almost quit and I only had to do about 18 rods. I finally managed to get through it all and the perm looks pretty good. Thank you so much for your time and helpful videos.
Thank you for the lash comment 😍 And no that is not a pic of my son 🤣 I would say if they are very old and falling apart it might be time to get new papers ... way to stick to it though because man that would be frustrating.
Thanks for watching and your support
Can you give me some tips on how to maintain a perm ?? Can you sleep on it right after or should we wear a silk cap ? This is for my teen son !
To maintain… I would say using a curly hair shampoo, don’t rub a towel on the hair while it is wet, also be careful combing it while it’s wet. You could do a silk pillowcase or a cap
Love this video only problem half the stuff is out on Amazon , but it's there are others
O shoot! It’s so hard when that happens… hopefully you can find alternatives
Can you explain why you use 3 different rods and alternate them? I'm not understanding why this is done. Thank you.
It gives a more natural look, typically curly hair isn’t the exact same curl pattern.
I wish i could do what i want with my hair. I want a perm simply because i love curls and im one of the only people in my entire family that doesnt have waves or curls. Me and my grandma made a secret plan to have her perm my hair right before my parents make me get it cut. Hopefully my hair will be just pong enough for it.
I love that your grandma is going to help achieve your curls ❤️ I’m sure it will turn out great
Is it better to color the hair before the perm or the other way around if the color is done afterwards does it decrease the body of the perm or what are the cons of it what are the wait times if it's color prior to a perm and are there special preparations?
No I recommend perming the hair first and then coloring atleast 2 weeks after your perm. It does depend on the integrity of your hair… if hair is dry and damaged I wouldn’t do both. But if your hair is healthy you can’t wait the 2 weeks +. As far as softening perm curls with coloring the hair after …. There is such a small chance of that’s happening I would t worry about it BUT same as before if you decide to use bleach after a perm it will damage your hair
Very informative.... But slightly offended at the "so if you're trying to learn how to perm your own hair and you need to color your hair and you're a female" like men don't color their hair and want to learn to perm their own hair... So what if you need to do root touch up regardless if you're a male or female. Should it be done before doing a perm or wait a week after perming then do a root touch up?
Perm hair first and color atleast 2 weeks after the perm
I agree. Why assume female?!
Great video! Question 🙋🏽♀️ does the activator solution burn your scalp at all?
No it should take... as long as when you clarify you aren’t scratching your scalp it should feel fine
does the perm kit come with everything i need besides the rollers? i’m having trouble finding what all it comes with
Yes minus the rollers and the end papers
What is the paper on the hair before the curling rods get rolled?
It’s called perm papers and it helps keep all the hair on the perm rods and not poke out or off the roller
Im 13 and have like no experience with this stuff and i tried doing a perm on my older brother with watching this vid and it came out great (this is his acc btw)
Awesome work! And thank you for coming back to share with us how well it worked 🙌🏼
Wondering if hair length is important, do I have to grow my hair out as long as the model?
Your hair has to wrap around the rod atleast 1 1/2 times for it to actual work. So length is important
Will you do one one temporary perms where men can get just the rods put in and set under the drier for a temporary perm affect.
To create that temporary perm you would do exactly what I did in this video BUT no perm solution just sit under the dryer for 20-30 minutes and once the rods are dry you remove the rods 😊
Are perms bad for your hair?im 15 and interested in a perm but my parents have always had the thought that it negatively affects your hair,
If you are using the correct perm and following the directions it’s not bad for your hair. Perms have come a long way and there are gentle perms out there 🥰
Great instructions! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! And you’re welcome
So I have a mowhawky mullet, if I want it all to lay forward past the occipital, do I do it in two long sections across the front instead of the middle and sides?
Yes! That sounds like the perfect plan! I would try to stagger them though so you don’t have tracks of perm rods and it will look more natural
I couldn't buy that product at Sally's or any other beauty supply store. They have it, but it's only available to licensed professionals to purchase. Is it dangerous?
A lot of products at beauty supply stores are only for licensed professionals but as far as I know that particular perm anyone should be able to purchase. They are also on Amazon
Should we roll it towards the front or roll it towards the back in the crown section of the hair?
All depends on how you want to wear your hair. If you want everything forward I would roll it forward but if you have longer hair and hair that likes to lay down towards the back I would roll that down or else it might stick up
My grandson had his hair perm about 4 months ago. It still has a wave. He wants me to do another perm for him. I found your video n want to use it. Im not sure which perm to get for him. His hair is thick n it's below his ear and nose. Any recommendations on which perm? He wants it a bit curly than the results here.
Happy to help I would suggest this perm on his hair since his hair is thick and longer. This perm will be great on previously permed hair but still give a great curl pattern

Great video! Thank you so much for this video!
Yay! So glad you found it helpful…. Thanks for watching
Great video … how long does the boys hair need to be in order to do the Merm?!
Thanks, that all depends on the final results you want. If you want a super tight curl and use smaller rods the hair only needs to be 2 1/2 inches long but if you want a medium curl the hair may need to be 4-5 inches and use a larger perm rod
In the video you did a pre-neutralizer and then the neutralizer. The link for product you included doesn’t include a pre-neutralizer. Is that a necessary step?
The pre neutralizer is in that particular perm because of the type of perm I used which is for dry, processed hair. Not all perms will have a pre neutralizer
Does the box come with everything needed? Thank you x
It comes with the perm solution, neutralizer, and cap. You will still need to purchase cotton and the end papers
Hi I want to get a perm with really short hair because I’m getting blond highlights I want to get a loose wavy perm is this possible and what do I use?
I would say perming and highlighting is not the best thing to do. I normally tell my clients to pick one or the other as it will really damage your hair
Hi fabulous tutorial thank you so much for taking the time. May I ask if i want a side parting in the hair can I use the rods sideways instead of horizontal.?I hope that makes sence thank you In advance 💓
Thank you so much for watching! Yes you can absolutely do the rods vertical just be aware of how you want the hair to fall once the rods are out (away from the face or towards the face )
You are very kind Thank you so much 💓
If you want it towards the face for you want to roll up?
Thank you m! This vid is very informational! ❤️
Thanks for watching and I’m so glad you enjoyed
Does this look good, on men will blonde hair? Bcuz my hair is blonde and I wanna try this, but I’m afraid it will look bad with blonde hair
I think it looks great on anyone that's ready to rock a perm 🙂
Could I put leave in conditioner after ??? Or will it just have to stay frizzy
It’s best to not apply anything in the perm until 48 hours after. Putting something in it too soon will potentially soften the curls
What’s best to use acid or alkaline to redo a perm?? Not sure what they used two weeks ago but is not curly just wavy with some straight hair. He doesn’t have color or thick hair.
Acid perms are more gentle and alkaline have a stronger ph value. Normally alkaline is best used for normal or resistant hair types.
The fact that it’s a re perm I wouldn’t use alkaline since it has been permed already
❤Thank you so much for responding!! I’m gonna follow your steps and do it my self at home
At 30 mins in, you were saying the more you touch it the more you’ll pull those curls out. Do you mean pull them out to stand out or literally pull them out where they lose curls?
I wish I lived closer so you could be my stylist :(
The perm will loosen up the more you touch it in the first few days. You want to be gently with it the first 72 hours
Do you recommend getting the fade haircut before or after the perm?
I would say do the fade first to where you want it and then perm. After you perm the top I would then cut it to make sure you remove the dry ends
Wait so on the back side of the head do you roll them backwards or forwards, I like my hair going forward as well
You can roll them anyway you want and always base it off the way you style your hair! So if you like everything forward I would do them all forward 😊
That's that Mop head homeless look!! Dope!!
Thanks I think 🤔 🤣
Is it ok if we use perm solution only.. no lotion or activator..
And how much ml is enough for short hair.. how much did you use?
You have to use the neutralizer with every perm (this is what stops the perm from processing and if not used it will cause damage) not all perms use an activator.
A bottle of perm solution is 78-118 ml for this particular hair length I used may 40 ml
Thank you I learned I lot today ❤
Love it 🥰
Hello ma'am your vd is best and ask you after perm the hai how long it wil set
That’s so nice of you! The perm lasts for awhile, typically what happens is your regrowth grows out straight and that when you need to re perm. I would say you have to reperm at 2-3 months depending on how fast your hair grows
I don’t have much length in the side do I just do the Mohawk area or do I have to grow out the side more
Yes you can just do the Mohawk area
Thanks mom.i need some help tho
=.how can i make the perm so my front hair flips up covering the forehead
You would just roll the rods away from your face versus toward the face like this video
If i want medium to big curls or wavy hair, what kinda of size rods would I need? for male with medium long hair. And is also fine to use self grip rods or any other rods because the perm rods with elastic bands here only go up to 17mm or 11/16"
Using self grip rollers should be just fine. And I would suggest using maybe yellow Velcro rollers to achieve wavy hair on medium to long hair 💕
So you think rolling the front forward would look better?
If you style your hair forward yes
Can you use a hairdryer with diffuser instead of towel drying? Would it work even better?
Yes absolutely I just would typically let it air dry the first few days though while the perm is still weak. Then you can use the dryer and diffuser
Oh sorry, I meant in between steps When the rolers are still on
I appreciate ur generosity
I love helping others 😊
Great job love this
Thank you so much ❤️
I have not seen one perm video instructions that is the same. Ive never seen a mixing solutiona nd never a pre neutralizer and i always saw not to wash out the neutralizer… so confusing. No wonder i cant get the perm to stick who knows!! And i did do what the box said the first two times!
Perms can be tricky when using different products than what are seen in videos. The most important is following the instructions on the box and BLOTTING to remove excess water before neutralizer.
Is it better if your hair is already wavy, also my hair is over 5 Inches long. Will that get me tight or loose perms?
Your hair might curl easier with it already being curly. As far as tight or looser with the length of your hair that all depends on perm rods you use. The small the rod the tighter the perm will be… if you use a larger rod (green or even peach/orange) it will be looser
My previous ones only ever had a wave lotion and a neutralizer
Yes depending on brand and type of end results will have different solutions inside your box
at 18:14 you said that the rods should start to go forward. how would the perm look like if you kept the rods going backwards just like the ones in the back?
The hair would then fall backwards...
WHAT ARE YOU MIXING!? Mine never said anything about mixing anything!
Some have activators and some have a pre wrap solutions. Others just have perm solutions and neutralizers
Do you have a video for shorter hair? To look natural
How much shorter than this video?
Hello im in the uk, i wanted to know what product to buy, because when i click the link it sends me to a different quantum kit and im scared of using the wrong one as my son's hair is virgin and im scared of messing it up?
Normally for virgin hair it’s not as scary. But this one should work perfectly if he’s looking for medium to firm curls
amzn.to/3Z6DAAu
Thanks for the video ! Do you know what size those rods were in mm?
The peach/sand/ orange one is 11/16 in so 17.46 mm
The purple is 5/8in so 15.87 mm
