How To Do A Perm At Home

I have no idea it this would work or not. I do have a couple of things for you to think about though.
1. The perm solution map damage your rollers. The plastic used may not stand up to the chemical.
2. The clip used, is it a medal one? Will that stand up to the chemical solution or will it stain your hair?

I just did my mom's hair....using an Oglive Home Perm. It turned out wonderful, pretty amazing as it was my first attempt to perm her hair.

I stopped perming and cutting my hair and now wear a bun or some such depending on mood but you can do your own cut and have it look nice too.
Take a piece of cardboard the length you want your hair to be (or little longer if hair is wet Remember wet hair shrinks as it dries) I used a playing card and folded it in half.
I usually folded the cardboard in half length wise so the hair could get between. Take small sections of hair. Using good sharp thin scissors cut at top of cardboard. You can make cardboard shorter as you get to the back and side if you want. save the length when you get the one you want.

Be sure to leave the rods in for the longest possible time.
I like the playing card idea. I tend to use my fingers as a guide to getting hair the length I want it. I run my hand through my hair and set the index finger up against my head. I usually cut to a three or four finger length. I use my thumb to hold the hair in place between my thumb and other fingers. It takes a little practice, but it works. Also cut in small snips, not one big cut at a time. Your cut will look better. Some beauticians cut in small snips at an angle.

Although my response is very long in coming, I recommend an acid perm, purchased from a beauty supply house. Redding perms are good, but there are several brands. Follow the directions and if your hair is thin, I'd try rinsing with vinegar and egg as a conditioner. Leave it in for about thirty minutes, then rinse, dry, and see if you like the texture. If not, try a beer rinse and dry. : )

What is the last step in this perm? Sometimes it's chemical, sometimes its conditioning.

I'm assuming you are talking about the neutralizing solution. If you don't apply it, your hair can be dull and/or porous.

The last step is removing the rods from the hair. Surely you didn't leave them in the hair ( Ha Ha, again). Just before that would be rinsing the neutralizer from the hair. If you failed to do this, no serious consequences should be expected. Prior to that would be applying the neutralizer. If you failed to apply the neutralizer, different things could happen. You could be left with little or no curl. Or if for some reason you thorough rinsed the wave solution from the hair but left the rods in the hair for 24-48 hours, you could end up with a good curl. The hair will have gone through a natural neutralizing during that period. Not as quick or as effective as a neutralizer from a bottle, but it does work.

Most don't know that before the modern neutralizers, simple, weak hydrogen peroxide was used.

Any of the many hair stylists that I know would tell you not to.

Nooooo!

You could correct an under processed perm in the same week. If this is not the reason for two perms in one week, DO NOT do it.

Just don't roll your hair all the way

To begin with besides buying the perm kit, you will have to buy special curler rods, yo will need at least two different sizes. I haven't done my own perms for about 30-40 years. Other than that you follow the directions in the box that the perm solutions come in. I might be wrong, but I don't think you will be real satisfied with the outcome.

When I did mine, it was back in the day where the women that wanted curly hair slept in curlers every night or ran around home with them in several hours of the day. This was after we home permed our hair, because using regular hair rollers on a daily basis made the permed hair look better. You might have better luck if you are real good at doing the rollers while you put the perm in but most women don't have real good luck with home perms.

A perm shouldn't strip the color of your hair. When I was really young I had home perms all the time, however that was in the fifties and early sixties. The brand that I like the best was Oglevie, and I can't remember the cost, other than it was the most expensive the the brands. The thing with home perms is that unless you get them rolled perfectly, you end up with hair that has to be set daily. Back when I was doing this I slept in rollers every night. That is the only way I could keep it looking decent. How long is your hair and when was the last time you had it cut? If it is long that might have something to do with the curl underneath and not on top.
