What often goes wrong here? Unnecessary time lost due to uncertainty about the right transformation product.
Transformation is all about control. For lasting curls, volume, or straight hair: the result depends on the right product choice and timing. In salon practice, reacting quickly, assessing correctly, and knowing what the client's hair can handle is crucial to prevent frustration and deliver flawless work.
Choose quickly: if… then…
- IF you want curls in normal hair, THEN choose a professional permanent lotion.
- IF you want to stay straight and frizz-free under all circumstances, THEN a straightening cream works best.
- IF long-lasting volume is your goal, THEN a fixation or volume stabilizer is needed.
- IF the hair is damaged, colored, or highlighted, THEN always choose a mild or protective variant.
- IF your hairstyle quickly loses its shape, THEN a good setting lotion provides immediate hold.
The problem
Many hairdressers underestimate that one type of permanent or neutralizer does not work for everyone. Hair condition and the desired look are key—choosing incorrectly can require extra work or corrective treatments.
Why people choose incorrectly
Hairdressers often choose based on a well-known brand or routine, rather than hair type or situation. On damaged hair, standard products can actually cause more damage instead of improving the hair.
Types within this collection
- Permanents for curls or waves
- Straightening and neutralization for straight hair
- Volume fixation
- Styling strengtheners for finish and hold
- Pre- and post-treatments to prevent damage
How do you choose the right one?
Always start with the hair type and the desired end result. For normal to fine hair, use a standard permanent. If the hair is colored or damaged, choose a protective or mild option.
For beach waves or a hairstyle that really needs to hold, use a strengthener such as Imago Pro Setting Strong, which guarantees long-lasting hold, even in high humidity.
Important differences
The biggest difference lies in the approach: applying the right permanent lotion immediately prevents extra steps and loss of quality. Straightening products are specifically formulated for a smooth result—they are not interchangeable with a permanent. A strong setting lotion provides immediate control, while a pre-treatment protects damaged hair.
Comparison table for transformation
Choosing within this collection
For normal or healthy hair, you can work with a standard permanent such as KIS Perm Neutra Wave Set; this treats and cares at the same time, so you do not put extra stress on the hair.
If you want to prevent oxidation damage during transformation, choose an intermediate treatment such as Goldwell System Inter-Curl Intermediate Treatment 150ml—that saves corrective work later.
For permanently straight hair without frizz, choose a straightener and neutralize with the right neutralizer, such as Wella Straight Perform+ Neutralizer 1000ml.
Common mistakes
- Choosing quickly based on brand instead of hair type—always assess before you start
- Using permanents on damaged hair without pre-treatment
- Too little fixation after transformation, causing the result to lose its shape
- No neutralization after straightening—this causes relapse or frizz
- Skipping steps under time pressure (such as post-treatment or extra strengthening)
