I think today is my longest hours I spent in a saloon. Minus the waiting time, I spent almost five (5) hours perming this soft or corn style perm.
It is my first time after a very, very, very long time that I perm my hair. I been considering for so long whether to do this perm or not as I afraid this corn style perm do not suit me. Finally, I decided to do it.
The lady boss is very kind as she explains that she will use the traditional way instead of the faster but will damage my hair way. She explains that the faster way is using a lot of chemical to smooth and soften the hair texture until you can pull your hair like a rubber. Then, using the electronic perm machine, she will perm your hair until the 'corn' texture is seen. She said that this will damage my hair and I will regret because I cannot undone the corn perm later if I do not like. Furthermore, my hair will damage and took a very long time to heal. She reluctant to use this method as well and frankly speaking, she returned the perming set to the supplier due to the damage she experienced.
She recommends me and use the traditional way to perm which is make many tiny braided tie-up. Then, she put the chemical on them to 'marinate' the tie-up so that it stay curly after untie them. The chemical she uses really so powerful that it sting my neck when it dropped on to my skin. Foolishly, I thought it is normal but actually I need to inform her when the chemical dropped on my skin. She ended up put some cream for me to soothe the redness and sting.
