What happens when you get a perm?

When you get a perm, a chemical solution is applied to your hair to break and reform the bonds in the hair structure, allowing it to take on a new shape, typically in curls or waves. The process involves wrapping sections of hair around perm rods, applying the solution, and then neutralizing it to set the new curl pattern. The result is textured, long-lasting curls that can add volume and style to straight hair. Aftercare is essential to maintain the health of permed hair, as the chemicals can make it more prone to damage.
