In practice, you'll find that choosing the wrong perm rarely goes seriously wrong – until the client returns because the curl is nowhere to be seen.
This collection offers a direct solution for choosing the right perm: fast, accurate, without searching or making the wrong choice. Whether you want long-lasting, resilient curls, a mild wave, or straight, sleek hair – this will help you get it right straight away.
Choose quickly
- IF the hair is (lightly) colored or heat-damaged – THEN choose a product such as Goldwell TD Perm R 500ml for a predictable and safe result.
- IF you want volume in normal hair – THEN go for a liquid such as Calmare Volume Wave N/1 500ml, which works immediately without overprocessing.
- IF you are looking for perfectly defined curls for any hair type – THEN go for a versatile choice such as Calmare Neutral Wave 500ml.
- IF you want long-lasting fixation and care – THEN a set such as the KIS Perm Neutra Wave Set is the reliable option.
- IF you need absolute control over the transformation, for example with difficult hair – THEN choose a gel formula such as Schwarzkopf Natural Styling Creative Gel 1 for precise work without spills.
The problem
Often, the wrong type of perm is used. Too mild on thick hair leads to limp curls, while too strong on porous hair causes frizzy or damaged locks. There is no room for guesswork – the hair type and condition call for a direct, informed choice.
Why people choose incorrectly
In a hurry, many reach for whatever is at hand or rely on old habits. However, ingredients and necessary strength differ critically. Many collections look similar, but the difference lies in the result: resilience, shine, hold, and hair health.
Types within this collection
- Perm lotions for colored or sensitive hair
- Universal liquids for healthy hair types
- Creams or gels for precise control and difficult hair
- Neutralizers and stabilizers for a longer-lasting effect
- Specials for volume enhancement or extra care
How to choose the right one
For a good choice, always look first at the hair structure and color history. For hair with highlights or previous damage, a specially formulated lotion such as Goldwell TD Perm SD 500ml works best, because it addresses vulnerable areas. For healthy, uncolored lengths, a classic such as Schwarzkopf Natural Styling Hydrowave Classic 1000ml is an efficient and consistent choice.
Important differences
- Lotion or gel? A gel formula offers, especially with short hair or difficult areas, a precise and clean application.
- Cream: ideal for strong, stubborn hair where long-lasting straightness is desired.
- Neutralizer: essential for maintaining the desired result in curls or waves; otherwise, the effect will fade too quickly.
- Volume formulas are developed to give extra body without making the hair stiff.
- Universal liquids are convenient for switching between different hair types without changing products.
Comparison
Choosing within this collection
For salons that demand versatility, a universal liquid such as KIS Perm Energy Wave 6x75ml offers flexibility without a full shelf of products.
For clients with difficult-to-style hair, a powerful formula such as KIS Perm Keratin Wave 1000ml has an immediate effect with minimal repetition.
For desired volume when standard products fall short, a volume stabilizer such as Calmare Volume Stabilizer 500ml provides a solution without weighing down the hair.
Common mistakes
- Using a perm that is too strong on sensitive hair – this leads to breakage, dry hair, and dissatisfied clients.
- Not using a neutralizer – the effect will disappear faster than expected.
- Not distributing the locks properly, resulting in uneven curls or waves.
- Forgetting to pre-treat porous or previously bleached hair, making the final result unpredictable.
- Not keeping up with new formulations – modern products offer more care and less damage.
Who it is suitable for
- Professionals who work efficiently without compromising on consistency.
- Salons that want to serve different hair types and conditions.
- Experienced hairdressers who want direct control over results and application.
- Anyone who does not have time for repairs later.
Summary
This collection makes it possible to choose quickly and execute well. Whether you work with colored, damaged, difficult, or normal hair – there is always a formula that works and is safe. Many salons choose a versatile basic product such as Calmare Neutral Wave 500ml as a safe choice; alternatives are available for special situations.
