Many people have different reasons for perming their hair whether the reasons are good or bad.erming takes at least 2 hours to complete. The perm settles down completely after 24 hours. The results of the perm remain for 3-5 months. Getting your hair permed involves use of chemicals to break and reform the disulfide bonds of the hair. The hair is washed and wrapped on a perm rod and waving lotion is applied with a base. The hair swells and softens and stretches. The hair then molds around the shape of the perm rod.

Alkaline wave hair perm works best for resistant hair and Asian hair and hair with low elasticity. The choice of perm rod depends on the kind of perm that is sought.
