I have a better understanding of perms watching your videos than I did in school. It's been a real blessing while I study for my state board. Thank you so much.
I am so glad you found it helpful. In the new year I am striving to release a video a week. Be sure to share with anyone you know that they could help!
People think that under the dryer perms take better than the exothermic perms, but I myself think it’s how you wrap and choose the rollers & distribute the solution thoroughly. Am I correct in thinking this?
I know this is an older video, but I am struggling to find the answer straight out. Can someone who has already used an Acid wave (3 months ago--short hair) switch to an Alkaline wave for their retouch?
I really enjoy your videos and I share them with my students. Thank you so much. I also play the piano and was wondering what piano piece that was playing during the acid perm portion of your presentation?
I am so glad you shared it with students! I believe the song is called Gnossiennes: III. Lent. By Erik Satie. I was a classical piano player in my life before hair school and this is one of my favorites to get lost in!
I am so glad I found you!! Now for a question.. is there a acid perm you would recommend? I have previously highlighted hair and now a level 4/5. I’d like to add a soft curl/ wave to my hair. Thank you kindly! 💫
@@TheIntentionalClassroom Dang. Thanks for answering:) I've dealt with mild sulfur smells when rinsing relaxer and ammonia isn't much of a bother, but when I did a perm for the first time the fumes were sickening. Guess I better order a good mask lol
Alkaline perms are best for Hard To Wave hair, Normal To Wave hair and Healthy Color - Treated hair where Long - Lasting, FIRM Curls or Waves are desired, should not be used on Bleached, Heavily Highlighted ( Over 50% ) or dry, damaged hair. Acid Perms can be used on any hair type but tend to produce Softer, more Flexible curl and may not sufficiently curl Hard To Wave, Healthy Normal or very Long hair ( Longer Than Shoulder Length ). Exothermic Perms work best on hair with varying porosity or finer hair types. Endothermic Perms are best for hair in less than ideal condition as they process slower allowing some ‘Wiggle Room’ before over-processing. Other Perm Types are: No - Thioglycolate Perms that use a processing agent that causes less damage. Bisulfite Perms than can be used for a Very Soft Perm that causes so little damage the hair can be Re-Permed when it begins to wilt and can be used to Perm Healthy Bleached Hair or as a “Temporary Perm” that fades away after a few weeks leaving the hair virtually undamaged.

Love the way you explain I learn more w you than anywhere else. Thank you
I am literally on this lesson with my students this week! This is awesome!! Thank you!!
Awesome! Hope this helps!
This is a concept I’ve been struggling to wrap my brain around. Thank you for making these videos! I look forward to more! You are a great teacher!!

I’ve gotten and given air oxidized perms and loved them. Can’t find anyone who does them. What would be the best perm on the market today.
Wow where have you been my whole life, very helpful
Thank you. I’m doing a perm later today on a client and this video really helped. You’re the bomb!
I am so glad it helped. I think most of us dreaded perms while in school, especially the science behind it. Glad this helped you!

Love the way you teach! Thank you so much
I know this is an older video, but I am struggling to find the answer straight out. Can someone who has already used an Acid wave (3 months ago--short hair) switch to an Alkaline wave for their retouch?
Yes! Absolutely. The active ingredient in both is thioglycolic acid, so there should be no conflict there. 😊
@@TheIntentionalClassroom thank you so much!!
GREAT!!!!!! SO much easier for me to explain to my staff! Thank You!
I am so glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching!
Love this. Thnx. What’s the difference between a Exothermic perm and a Alkaline perm?

Love the multiple learning technique... this is the way i learn best!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thx u for sharing I. Needed a refesher
I hope you got your Doctorate!
You’re so good !!!! Thank you !!!
Thank you your explanation is amazing I love it.
Does an acid perm have that awful smell?
Unfortunately yes. The smell comes from the sulfur atoms in the hair releasing from the disulfide bonds.
