Modern Perm vs. Traditional Perm

Traditional Perms vs Modern Perms: Whats the difference? Understanding when and why to use certain perm solutions can make your results more on point, and your hair happier.

Quick perm recap:
-Disulfide bonds give the hair shape
-Perms break and reshape disulfide bonds
-Here is a typical PH scale. Hair sits between 3.5-5.5

Acid Wave Perm: Creates softer texture, is less damaging but its common for allergies to develop for stylist or client

Traditional “firm” or Thio Perms: can be damaging, stinky, messy with rinsing and blotting, not very natural looking but gives the most curly look (poodle perm//Annie curls//80’s curls)

CurlCult is a modern perm solution that breaks disulfide bonds like a traditional perm but stays at a neutral PH so it’s creating the least amount of damage to your hair. No rinsing or blotting so it’s more comfortable for the client

How your routine changes…
The goal: best results and longevity
-Without proper styling & haircut your perm will fall flat. It didn’t “fall out”

-When you support your perm will Curl Cult products your results will also last longer and not have a “popcorn smell”
