Hair perms and straighteners are transformative treatments in haircare, allowing individuals to alter their natural hair texture for desired styles. Perms introduce curls or waves, adding volume and movement, while straighteners, including chemical relaxers and keratin treatments, provide sleek, smooth finishes.
Understanding Hair Perms
Perms, short for "permanents," chemically restructure hair to create curls or waves. The process involves breaking and reforming the hair's disulfide bonds, resulting in lasting texture changes. Products like the Angel Alkaline Perm Lotion and Angel Neutraliser, both available in 1-litre bottles, are designed to work in tandem to achieve and stabilise these curls. The perm lotion initiates the curl formation, while the neutraliser ensures the curls are set and long-lasting.
Exploring Hair Straighteners
For those seeking straighter hair, chemical relaxers and keratin treatments are popular options. Chemical relaxers permanently alter the hair's structure to remove curls, whereas keratin treatments temporarily smooth the hair by infusing it with keratin protein. The Brasil Cacau Keratin Kit 110ml - Resistant Formula is a notable product in this category, offering a professional-grade solution that restructures hair, rendering it straight and frizz-free for up to three months.
Considerations and Care
Both perms and straightening treatments involve chemical processes that can affect hair health. It's essential to consult with a professional stylist to determine the most suitable treatment based on hair type and condition. Post-treatment care is crucial; using sulfate-free shampoos, deep conditioners, and heat protectants can maintain the hair's integrity and prolong the results.
