  • Hi everyone! In this video I talk all about my experience and thoughts on getting an American Wave/Perm! I got my hair permed Sept. 25, 2019 and these are my thoughts since then.
    UPDATE:
    Rod sizes were 1.5in-1in and the different colors match the different sizes of the rods!
    I cover the process, the care, damage to hair, recommended routines, etc. I know a lot of people have opinions on perms - but trust me, they have evolved since the '90s lol! If you have any questions for me, please make sure to leave them in the comments so I can answer them!

    Why is getting a perm a touchy subject?

    • @kristinaloewen3934
      @kristinaloewen3934 2 роки тому

      I remember in 2000s people thought perms were 'lame', from references to back when they were popular 2-3 decades back. I thought they were crazy(ive wanted one for years, just never felt comfortable with the hairstylist i would talk to... The last one told me she would first start with cutting almost 2 feet off of my hair, I almost cried-I love my longer hair), but i guess it went 'out of trending'. Also, some people may have had terrible experiences getting a perm or trying themselves too and then messing up🤷 so that could be touchy? Maybe?

    I have type 4 coily hair and got my first relaxer when I was like 4 or 5 (of course this wasn't my choice) but I say this to say that people change their hair texture and color for different reasons, we all get tired of our hair from time to time. My hair has been in its natural state for 12 years now. ( while I love my texture, it's extremely time consuming and I struggle with it a lot) So every now and then I blow dry it, wear wigs, now I'm thinking about relaxing it again. People should just let others be.

    Thank you for making such a thorough video about this process. I think it's "new" for a lot of younger stylists who weren't trained to do perms, so it's helpful to have this info as a customer! Your curls turned out amazing.

    You did good researching how to mange wavy/curly hair, people with straight hair don't know how difficult texture hair can be and the amount of time that it takes to take care of it .I like how your perm come out, it looks very natural.I have natural wavy/curly hair, a mixture of 2b/2c with some 3a , I always get complements on my hair .

    • @ByKristinaStudio
      @ByKristinaStudio  4 роки тому +2

    I'm thinking of doing this. Was your hair super crunchy during the time your perm lasted? 😊 thanks!

    • @ByKristinaStudio
      @ByKristinaStudio  2 роки тому

      The only thing that would make it crunchy is hair product, like gel! My hair was still soft when there was nothing in it. And with gel, you’d just “scrunch the crunch” meaning you’d take your hands and scrunch to break up the gel cast. And then your hair wouldn’t have that feeling. I have videos of me styling my curly hair that might be helpful!

    @AliaslsailA 3 роки тому

    I feel so dumb right now 😂I have wavy hair but it only looks good on the first day because if i dont put product in it doesn't last and if i put product in it gets sticky and weighs the waves down. The only time it looks like i want it to is when ive been to a lake or the beach. So i thought a perm sets the waves in a way that doesn't require me to go through the same struggle with products etc. Oh maaan.

    This was so helpful and your hair looks beautiful! I am definitely checking out your other videos and IG. My one question is how bad was the smell of the chemicals? I am just trying to work out if it smells very strong - or lasts long then the 3 days - as I can get migraines

    • @ByKristinaStudio
      @ByKristinaStudio  2 роки тому +2

      Pretty strong the first day, not gonna lie! But it’s hard for me to say because I’m used to it now that I’ve done it multiple times! If you tie your hair back afterwards and spray some dry shampoo or maybe even a light hair perfume, it might help? Maybe halfway through the second day or third day, it’s very faint. And after maybe two washes, the smell goes away completely.

    • @Amber86queenbee
      @Amber86queenbee 2 роки тому

      @@ByKristinaStudio thanks Kristina for your advice! It sounds like I will manage it ok if the smell fades after a few days/washes and may just notice it initially (but could be worth it). I previously had my hair permanently straightened and that smelled to high heaven for quite a while so was curious about the experience with perms. You will be my example photo of what I am after to the hairdresser as your hair is beautiful. Thanks for putting out this content and answering questions as it is hard to find information that is relevant to western style perms.

      A lot of places require a consultation to check out your hair to see if it's healthy enough! The place I went to analyzed my hair first since I had highlights. But I hadn't highlighted my hair for maybe a year before I got a perm! So my hair was healthy by that point.
