Wear Perm Rods

Wear Perm Rods

Permanents allow straight hair to hold a curl by combining chemicals over tightly wrapped rods. The way you wear perm rods will affect the type of curl that is produced. If the hair is not properly wrapped, the curl may not hold, or worse yet, may come out looking distorted. To reduce these negative results, follow some straightforward guidelines that are designed to help you successfully wear perm rods in order to achieve desired results from a perm.

Instructions

1. Divide the hair into three rows with three sections in each row, for a total of nine sections. Secure each section with a hair clip.

2. Start with the second section in the middle row. Grab a piece of hair from the top of the section that is the same width as the perm rod. Comb the piece of hair until it is free of snarls. Place an end paper on the lower third portion of the hair and fold it over. This will prevent the hair from forming fish tails after the wave lotion has been activated.

3. Mist the end paper with a water-filled spray bottle so the paper clings to the hair. Slowly slide the paper down so that the ends of the hair do not protrude past the paper.

4. Place a perm rod under the bottom of the end paper and begin rolling the hair by wrapping the end paper covered portion first. Your fingers should be moving in a counter-clockwise motion as you wind the hair.

5. When you reach the scalp, secure the perm rod and move to the next piece of hair, beneath the rolled rod. Continue wrapping each piece of hair within that section and then move onto the section below that one.

6. Wrap the hair on either side of the front of the head and work your way back. Do the same for the other side, and finish with the last section in the middle of the front of the head.
