1.Knowing your Hair - Assessing Hair Conditions
Digital Perm may not work with everyone, so it'sΒ crucial to get to know your hair and access its conditionΒ before diving into a digital perm journey. You want to make sure thatΒ your hair is a good fitΒ for this fabulous style evenΒ before making an appointment with a hair salon.Β Here are some key factors to consider: - Hair ConditionΒ Is your hair healthy? Do you see any signs ofΒ dryness, split ends, breakage, or excessive damage? - Hair Length Does it haveΒ enough lengthΒ to use the required perm rod size for the desired look? Are you open toΒ shortening the lengthΒ for the desired look? - Hair Texture and Density What are hairβs naturalΒ characteristics? Is it straight, wavy, curly, or coily? How is theΒ thicknessΒ of the hair? - Scalp Health Do you have any signs of scalp issues such asΒ excessive dryness, dandruff, or irritation?Β - Hair Elasticity and Strength When you pull on your hair strand gently, does it stretch and bounce back without breaking easily? - Color-treated Hair Has the hair undergone anyΒ recent chemical treatments, such as coloring, bleaching, or other types of perms? What is theΒ recent color history? If you have any concerns or uncertainties about any of these questions, it's a good idea toΒ consult with your hair salonΒ before making an appointment. At Three Degrees Salon, we offerΒ complimentary online consultations, where we love to hear about your hair history, see pictures of your current hair, and the images of your desired look. We will give youΒ personalized feedback and advice, so the more information you provide, the better we can prepare for your appointment, especially sinceΒ some hair many need additional time, care, and conditioning,Β and this way our stylist can prepare more for the appointment. So, let's assess your hair's readiness for a digital perm and have an open conversation with your stylist to ensure the best possible outcome.2: Pre-Perm Hair Care I - Moisturizing and Hydrating
When it comes to caring for your hair, many people focus on post-perm hydration, but did you know thatΒ hydration your hair before a digital perm is just as important? In fact, they complement each other to achieve the best results. Pre-perm hydrationΒ prepares your hair for the chemical process and brings a whole bunch of benefits to the table, such as improving hair elasticity, enhancing curl definition, better perming solution penetration, minimizing damage risks, long-lasting results, and overall hair health. ItΒ sets the foundation for a successful digital permΒ and helps ensure that your hair remainsΒ in optimal condition throughout the process. So, here are the step-by-step recommendations: 1: Gentle Cleansing using a moisturizing shampoo 2: Deep Conditioning Treatment Apply the conditioner from mid-lengths to ends, focusing on the areas that need the extra hydration,Β and leave the conditioner on for the recommended time, allowing it toΒ penetrate the hair shaft and provide deep moisture. If you have time,Β wrap a warm towel around your headΒ to boost its effectiveness. The heat helps open the hair cuticles, allowing the conditioner to penetrate more deeply.
3: Rinse with Cool Water Β Β Cool water helps to close the hair cuticles,Β sealing in moistureΒ and leaving the hair smooth and shiny. 4:Β Apply Leave-In Conditioner or Hair Serum Once the hair is towel-dried, apply a leave-in conditioner or hair serum to keep that hydration locked inΒ and giveΒ an additional layer of moisture. 
By following these steps, you can effectively hydrate the hair before a digital perm,Β ensuring it is in a well-moisturized state to withstand the perming process.Β The products we recommended above are forΒ all types of hairΒ andΒ are good for continued use after a digital perm.Β You can also choose any hydrating products suitable for your hair type and condition and adjust the steps based on the productsβ instructions.3: Pre-Perm Hair Care II - Cleansing
Next, let's talk about the importance ofΒ a thorough cleansingΒ before your digital perm adventure. This step is a game-changer! Not only does it remove product buildup, but it also helps with the even distribution of the perming solution, improves its penetration, and makes life easier for your fabulous stylist. But in most cases, your hair salon will take care of the cleansing part right before the perming process. So, there'sΒ no need to wash your hair the night before your appointmentΒ unless you prefer.Β We've got you covered!4: Trimming Split Ends
Trimming split ends isΒ a proactive approachΒ to maintaining hair health and ensuring the best possible outcome for a digital perm. ItΒ creates a healthier foundation for the permΒ and allows the stylist to work with a more even and manageable canvas. For example, split ends tend to be weaker and more prone to breakage. If split ends are present during the perming process, they may not be able to hold the curl as effectively as healthier sections of the hair. Trimming those split ends ensuresΒ a more even distribution of the perm, resulting inΒ a balanced and stunning permed hairstyle. When you book your digital perm appointment,Β check if your hair salon offers a trim cutΒ before the perm. If not, don't worry! Just make sure toΒ schedule a haircut separatelyΒ before your reservation. At Three Degrees Salon,Β we include a haircut in the perming service/price,Β so you don't have to worry about that extra step. Time to let go of those split ends and get ready to rock your new fabulous look!5: Summary
In a nutshell, getting your hair ready for a digital perm isΒ all about setting the stage for amazing resultsΒ andΒ keeping your locks healthy.Β By taking the time toΒ assess your hair condition,Β hydrating those beautiful strands beforehand, making sure your hair is squeakyΒ clean, andΒ snipping away those split ends, you'll be on track for a fantastic digital perm experience.
