A cold perm, also known as a "cold wave" or "acid perm," is a hair treatment used to create long-lasting curls or waves in the hair. Unlike traditional hot perms that use heat to set the curls, cold perms use a chemical process to alter the hair's structure and create the desired curl pattern.
Features & Benefits:
Desired hairstyle
A cold perm is an excellent option for individuals who want to add texture, volume, and curls or waves to their straight or fine hair. It can help achieve a specific hairstyle that might be difficult to maintain with natural hair texture.
Low heat exposure
Unlike hot perms that involve using heated rods to set the curls, cold perms use chemical solutions to create the curls. This can be beneficial for individuals who are concerned about heat damage to their hair.
Long-lasting results
Cold perms typically offer more long-lasting curls compared to using heat styling tools alone. Once the hair has been chemically treated, the curls will remain until new hair growth replaces the treated hair.
Low maintenance
After getting a cold perm, the curls are generally easier to maintain, requiring less daily styling compared to trying to achieve the same look with heat styling tools.
Customizable curl patterns
A skilled stylist can customize the cold perm to create various curl patterns, from loose waves to tight curls, based on the client's preference.
