Perms have their roots in Egypt, 3000 B.C.! (Mame knowledge, please skip if unnecessary)
Since we’re here, let’s talk a little bit about the roots of perms. It is widely believed that perms originated in 3000 B.C., when Egyptian women applied moistened soil to their wet hair, wrapped their hair around tree branches, and exposed it to the sun. After a long time, in 1872, Mr. Marcel of France invented the Marcel iron, which is said to be the prototype of the current hair iron, and in 1905, Mr. Nessler of Germany developed the prototype of the digital perm using borax and an electric heating device.
The birth of cold perm without heating dates back to 1940, when Mr. McDonough of the U.S. developed a perm using thioglycolic acid. Today, digital perms and cold perms still coexist, but technological advances have made cold perms, which are easier to do, the mainstream.
Cold perm ” the first perm, synonymous with the modern perm
The word “perm” usually refers to cold perm, and it has become the mainstream perm style of today, even being called the first perm. The reason why it is called “cold perm” is because it is done at room temperature, as opposed to the digital perm, which uses heat as mentioned above. It does not mean that cold chemicals are used or that the hair is cooled during the perm application process. Another important point to keep in mind is that cold perm gives a stronger wavy feel when wet. When you shampoo your hair after the perm treatment, you may think, “Wow, I applied it too hard! When you shampoo your hair after the perm treatment, you may think, “Wow, it was done too hard!
As the mainstream men’s perm style, we can offer spiral perms, pin perms, twist perms, straight perms, and other perms necessary for men’s trendy hairstyles.
Spiral perm
The spiral perm is applied to a short mache base that is left a little heavy on the hair. The bundled look is very attractive.
Pin Perm
This style mixes pin perms and inverted perms for a fuller movement. The perm is emphasized by applying gel in a slightly wet condition after towel drying.
Twist perm
The spiky ends, bundled texture, and dry nuances unique to the twisted perm are the charm of this style.
Since no heat is applied, perms can be applied from the root of the hair, which is especially useful for men’s hair that is often short. Since the perm fades over time, it is less stressful on the hair when changing to other styles.
The disadvantage is that it takes a long time to apply the perm, so the hair is exposed to the perm solution for a long time, which is relatively easy to damage, and if the hair is in severe pain due to frequent perms or coloring , the perm will not work well.
Shape memory perm (hot perm) “The second perm, for you who have stubborn kinky hair and a single-mindedness to keep the same hair style.”
The hair is permed with perm solution and then heated to 70 to 120 degrees Celsius using hair irons or rods. The name of the perm varies depending on the device used to apply the heat. “Digital perm,” “iron perm (Iper),” “hair straightening,” and “iron straight perm” are all classified as shape-memory perms. One of the characteristics of this type of perm is that it has high shape-memory power, and the haircut can be reproduced without using advanced blow-drying or styling techniques. Another advantage is that the perms are strong and can be applied to strong, curly hair or damaged hair, and the perms stay in place for a long time. On the other hand, due to the high-temperature application method, perms cannot be applied to the roots, which are close to the scalp, for safety reasons. The high temperatures used cause direct damage to the proteins in the hair, which can easily damage the hair, and the finished product will have a slightly hard feel. Another disadvantage for some people is that it is difficult to change to other hairstyles because the perm is so strong.
Trendy Ipers that renew the image of Ipers
By adjusting the amount of hair by adding a slide cut, the style is firmly Ieper, but it is not old-fashioned or Yankee-like. It is a hairstyle that overturns the image of Ieper. And the ease with which it can be easily recreated by simply rubbing wax into the hair is also a plus!
Iron Straight Perm x Two-Block
The sides of the hair, which tend to stand up, the problem with the two-block style, are skillfully controlled with an iron perm, creating a modern-day Ieper style that is very appealing!
This perm method is recommended for men who “stick to one style for the time being” and for men with stubborn natural perms, rather than for those who “want to enjoy various hairstyles freely according to trends.
Heated Perm (Warm Perm) ” A method of heating at low temperature to shorten the time
This type of perm uses a heated perm solution that becomes more effective when heated. The far-infrared heating device often seen in hair salons is used to apply heat (temperature that does not alter proteins) at 60 degrees Celsius or lower, which is lower than the temperature of hot perms. The advantage of applying heat is that the process can be completed in a short time, and at the same time, damage to the hair can be minimized. As with cold permanent wave, it can be used for almost all hair trends. The wave is maximized when the hair is wetted, which is also common to cold perm.
