Originally, a perm used to take up to 12 hours to do, making it a rather permanent style; hence the term ‘perm’. Now, with the help of science and technology, you can get the look easily by just washing and wrapping your hair with rods that will stretch your hair, giving it a soft curl that will last till your next wash.

Dry perm

One of the cutest curls is the dry perm which is easy to do and maintain. The style has been modernised to keep it fresh. After shampoo-ing, condition your hair thoroughly before applying the hair mousse to your wet hair. Take a small amount of hair, place it on the perm roller and roll your hair from the tip right down to the roots. Perm rollers come in different sizes to choose from but remember the thinner the roller the tighter your curl and the longer it will last. Always spray your hair with sheen to give a healthy shine.

Spiral curls

We relax our hair to straighten it out, soften and help make it easier to comb. The mini spiral hair curl is a chic trend and can be done by using a tong. Curling tongs are available in various sizes to cater for every hair length. Most need time to heat so while waiting for it, apply a heat protector spray on your hair to prevent the heat that can break and dry out hair.
