Topic: PERFORM BASIC HAIR PERMING

Concept notes:

Perming is the term given to the physical and chemical processing of straight hair that will
change it into curls or waves.

A permanent wave, commonly called a perm, is a hairstyle consisting of waves or curls set into
the hair. The curls may last a number of months, hence the name.

2 General Types of Perming:

 Digital/Hot Perm:

-Uses heated rods and a temperature-controlled machine to shape the curls.

-Involves the application of heat during the perming process.

 Traditional/Cold Perm:

-Uses room-temperature perming solution and rods to shape the curls.

-Does not involve the application of heat.

In TESDA Hairdressing NCII assessments, the type of perm commonly used is the Cold Perm
(Traditional Perm), as it is a foundational technique in hairdressing.

Hair analysis is an important element of client consultation helping you to determine the
condition of the hair and scalp.

Always explain any procedure before starting a treatment, if there is any doubt about the end of
result, the client must be informed. It is recommendation that a diagnostic record card be used to
record all aspect of consultation. It may be appropriate to ask the client to sign a document, stating
they are in agreement with the suggested course of action and are aware of any reservation you
may have.

HAIR AND SCALP ANALYSIS

A very important step before giving a cold perm is to make a careful and correct analysis of
the patron's scalp and hair condition.

SCALP EXAMINATION

The scalp should be examined very carefully. Abrasions on the scalp can make cold
perming dangerous to a patron. An irritated scalp or badly damaged hair are both signs that cold
perming should be postponed until the condition is corrected.

HAIR POROSITY

Porosity is the ability of the hair to absorb fluids or liquids.

The porosity of the hair determines how quickly the perm lotion is absorbed. The processing time
for any cold perm depends much more on hair porosity than upon any other factor. The more
porous the hair, the less processing time it takes, and a milder perming solution is required.

The hair absorbs the cold perming lotion in relation to its porosity, regardless of texture.

HAIR TEXTURE

Hair texture refers to the individual size of the hair strand and its degree of coarseness or
fineness. The texture and porosity are judged together in determining the processing time.

For hair of medium texture, use perm of normal strength. Fine hair curls more easily and requires
weaker lotion; coarse hair is harder to wave and requires stronger lotion.

HAIR ELASTICITY

Hair elasticity is the ability of the hair to stretch and contract. Without elasticity, there will be no
curl on the hair. The greater the degree of elasticity the longer the wave will remain in the hair,
because less relaxation of the hair occurs.

HAIR DENSITY

Hair density is the amount of hair strands per square inch on the scalp.

Smaller blockings and larger rods are often required for thickly growing hair. If the hair is thin, per
square inch, smaller blocking sections and smaller rods are required in order to form a good wave
pattern close to the head. Avoid large blockings on a thin hair growth.

HAIR LENGTH

Long heavy hair requires more perming than short hair because the hair's weight will pull on
the curls. Short, fine hair may become too tightly curled if given the normal processing time.

RECONDITIONING TREATMENTS

Reconditioning treatments for previously treated hair must be determined. Dry, brittle or
damaged hair which was previously treated, should be given reconditioning treatment prior to cold
hair perming. Recent developments in conditioners have proven to be beneficial to the hair. Avoid
any treatment requiring massage or heat just prior to a cold wave. Such treatment would create a
sensitive scalp. Permanent waving, tinted, bleached or damaged hair can be a problem. It is very
important to analyze the hair properly.

BASIC HAIR PERMING

For good cold waving results, the hairdresser should closely watch:

- Materials, supplies, tools and implements needed.

Hair perming is a system of hair waving depending on waving or curling action on chemical alone.
In perming, curls or waves of hair are close to the scalp. No heavy equipment is used. It is fast and
easy.

TOOLS, SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT NEEDED

The materials used in perming the hair listed will render ease and professional way of
performing the activity.

1. Plastic Trolley - a handy tool used to hold the needed materials, tools use in perming hair
2. Hair Dryer - used to dry 80% of the hair before performing the perming activities
3. Drape Pan - used to accumulate the excess cold wave lotion while re-saturating the curled hair
4. Mirror - reflects the true representation and reflection of an individual
5. Personal Protective Clothing - material used to protect the dress of the patron and operator
6. Curling Rods - tools used to produce curls and waves while the hair strands are being wound
around it
7. Comb with Tail - a tool used to remove hair tangles
8. Large toothed Comb - a tool used to comb out newly curled hair
9. Hair clips and Clamps - used to hold the sectioned hair in place
10. End Paper - porous paper used to ensure smooth winding of the hair around the curling rods
11. Neckstrip - used to protect the dress of your patron from the small cut hair during the cutting
and trimming of hair
12. Processing cape - used to cover the head of hair after winding, to insure heat and help in the
easy processing of the head of curl
13. Perming lotion (cold wave lotion) - softens the hair so that it assumes the shape of the
curler around which is wound

14. Neutralizer - stops the action the of the waving lotion on the hair and sets the new hair into a
permanently curled position
15. Application bottle - used to hold the chemicals in perming; it is especially made of plastic
16. Shampoo and Conditioner - used to wash out the applied chemicals
17. Bath Towel - used to wipe off excess water on the hair after shampooing
18. Tissue paper - used to wipe off excess moisture
19. Barber's brush - used to remove small cut hair with the aid of powder
20. Scissors - used to trim the hair after the cold wave process

SECTIONING BLOCKING AND WINDING OF HAIR

Blocking Patterns - the overall plan for rod placement in order to give the design support,
direction, and curl pattern it needs

Double Halo - usually used for larger size heads

Single Halo - commonly used for average size heads to create even curls

PROCEDURES IN HAIR PERMING

Processing time

The process of getting a perm can take one to two hours, depending on how long your hair
is, how thick it is, and how fast your stylist.

Neutralizing time

The neutralizer solution is applied to your hair while it is still wrapped around the perm rod.

USE OF PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

PPE are equipment that protect your clothes are chemicals. It include item such as gloves,
eye protection, safety footwear, respiratory protective equipment, and many more.

TYPES OF HAIR CURLS

Loose Curls
Loose curls are large, soft and bouncy curls that are not tightly coiled.

Salon workers are actually exposed to toxic chemicals every single day they found out that
nail polishes, hair treatments, removers and emollients can cause problem like asthma and more.

Salon workers also come in contract with a client's skin, nail sometimes blood. This poses a
significant infection risk for salon workers, so following a salon safety checklist is very important.

SALON SAFETY CHECKLIST

1. Always have a proper ventilation

2. Proper handling of chemical

3. Preventing aches and pains

4. Sanitation safety standard

5. Proper warning signs

SALON WASTE MANAGEMENT

Reduce - to start with the most favorable of option of 'reducing' speak to the supplier and ask
them to reduce the amount of packaging that they deliver your products, or arrange to give it back
to them upon the next delivery so that they can re-use the materials.

Reuse - common salon items can actually support environment cause as well as improving social
issues.

Recycle - we come to recycling which beneficial to the environment.
