Pre-Perm Treatment: Process and Benefits

Pre-perm treatments (pre-conditioners/porosity equalizers) prepare hair for perming by ensuring even absorption and retention of perm solution for consistent, long-lasting curls.

Typical Process

1. Consultation: Assess hair condition, porosity, desired result.
2. Strand Test: Evaluate porosity and perm solution response.
3. Clarifying Shampoo: Remove products, oils, impurities; towel-dry.
4. Apply Pre-Perm Solution: Section by section, roots to ends; process per manufacturer time.
5. Absorption: Opens cuticles, equalizes porosity for uniform perm uptake.
6. Rinse: Thoroughly remove product.
7. Blot/Comb: Remove excess water; detangle gently.
8. Apply Perm Solution: Proceed with perm service.

Post-Perm

Neutralize, rinse, condition, style. Proper pre-perm routine yields even, well-defined, longer-lasting curls.
