Difficult to perm hair!

[85fabb]

Client of mine has really silky, long fine but not fine in density hair. And after test curling with resistant lotion and it taking, did a perm. But its not lasted a week! Everything followed to the t. Process time, neutralising times and blotting excess water out etc. am guessing maybe a better lotion out there? Any ideas? Used goldwell biocurl '0'

I use the Goldwell Biolife perms, they've never let me down. They come in 3 strengths, 1,2 and X.. you may need the X, but obviously do a test on it first.

Make sure she isn't washing it too soon too,

I had used the x on same client year before, same problem 😔 do you find them good on longer hair?

I Use Goldwell Biocurl and its always been great, although I usually need to leave it the maximum time. Not used it on long hair though, only short.

If it's long hair you may need to pre-dampen.

Yeah, this was maximum time too, not had this problem before. Especially with using a resistant lotion 😔 was debating using an exothermic one but never used before and hard to test curl as in 2 parts mixed together. So would be wasting it. Anyone ever used them before? Or they a waste of time? Xx

Happened me once before, her hair was long and thick, I suggested some layering to lighten her hair and evenly distribute the weight and the curl sprung back into the hair, mite be worth a try before reperming?

If the hair is very long often blotting isn't enough... In very long hair I sometimes instead of blotting pop them under dryer /climazone on minimum heat to dry out a little before neutralising... You could also preamp if you are a quick permer...

Awesome advise! I always put a dryer on lo-heat up to 20 mins to mostly dry the hair after rinsing the solution out with fairly warm h2o & ending with fairly cool h2o to make the hair suck in the neutralizer to the max!

Works like a charm for the acidic processes!.....might want to lv.up your perm formula, even some healthy fine hair that appears like it needs gentle care especially if virgin need the "average/med hair: virgin/healthy" formula!

Remember that the hair also needs to fully wind the rod @ least 3-3.5+ full times for best curl results too.
