An old-fashionedbody wave permcomes to mind for a change of pace.
“Perms can be so versatile,” Dana Monkman of Tony & Guy hair salon told Elle.
What makes a body wave different from a traditional perm?
“Body waves offer a softer, more natural-looking wave,” stylist Briana Dunning toldByrdie.
“It can also provide added texture and longer-lastingblowouts.”
Creating permanent waves rather than permanent curls uses the same basic process as traditional perms.
The difference comes with the rods your stylist uses.
After that, the chemical process is the same as with a traditional perm.
“To begin the process, we set perming solution and our perming rods,” Dana Monkman toldElle.
We then rinse the hair and apply a second solution which sets the hair in shape.
To finish, the rods are removed and the hair rinsed thoroughly."
Finally, be careful using heat while styling your hair.
