Permanenttiaineet

Permanenttiaineet, often referred to as perming solutions, are chemical formulations used in hair salons to permanently alter the structure of hair, creating curls or waves. The process typically involves two main chemical agents. The first, a reducing agent, breaks down the disulfide bonds within the hair's keratin structure. These bonds are responsible for the hair's natural shape. Once these bonds are weakened, the hair can be reshaped by wrapping it around rods or rollers of varying sizes.

After the hair has been set in its new shape, a second chemical, an oxidizing agent, is applied. This neutralizer rebuilds the disulfide bonds in their new configuration, effectively locking the hair into its curled or wavy state. The strength of the perming solution and the processing time are adjusted based on the hair type, condition, and the desired level of curl. Permanent treatments are a common salon service, offering a way to achieve a semi-permanent change in hair texture. The effects can last for several months, gradually relaxing over time as new hair grows in.
