Perm and the cost

This is how a permanent wave is created

• The hairstyle is the result of a chemical change in the structure of the hair, the process is divided into three steps: softening - shaping - making it durable.
• For the hairstyle, your hair is wound on curlers and soaked in "perm water". The water makes hair softer and changes the protein bond in the hair. Then a kind of "neutralization", which mainly consists of hydrogen peroxide, is applied to the hair, thereby making the hair tighter again and making the curls more durable.

Cost and durability of the hairstyle

• Your hair grows about a good inch every month, it goes without saying that the perm grows with your hair. In this case you have the option of having the hair trimmed, you can let the wave grow out or you can have a "root wave" applied to the hair that is already curled.
• The shelf life of a permanent wave can last from 4 months to more than 6 months, unfortunately a shoulder wave only lasts about 2 months.

• The cost of the hairstyle is different. The fees depend on the length of the hair, with short and half-length hair you can usually expect around 60 to 80 euros, with long hair costs up to 150 euros are possible. However, most hairdressers charge the fee including the haircut.
