FAQ Perm Collection
The Perm Series is a new updated design version based on the formula of UNIC & Structuriser. The series is launching with new names, design, material, and packaging structure. The new ergonomically fit bottle is designed for a better experience.
Yes! Both the Neutralizer and the (Soft Perm) Express Rinse will go from our previous standard of 500ml to a new bigger bottle of 750ml. Giving more solutions to use.
The Classic Perm solution bottle-size changes to a more ergonomically fit bottle, meaning that the Classic Perm (UNIC formula) will go from 200ml to 100ml. It will still be sold in 12-pack instead of the previous 6-pack.
No, the formulation will be the same amazing formula in both the current and new/updated perm.
Yes, the old product will be sold for some time, in parallel to the new design.
The design update is long awaited and is a great way of connecting our fantastic permanent lines with our assortment, also a more user-friendly packaging. Making the colours stand out and giving the amazing formula a great packaging to match.
We recommend 60 ml – 120 ml depending on the length of the hair
One full application bottle per perm session, for very long hair, please use 2 application bottles of Express Rinse
If you want an ammonia-free, gentle perm with soft curls, choose Soft Perm. Classic perm is a classic all-around perm for all needs that gives you firm curls and texture
No, you can wash your hair after a perm, but make sure to use gentle and conditioning products. Still remember it is good to wait up to 24 h before the first wash so the curls can stabilize.
Choose the Care & Style collection that best suits your hair, however, it is important to moisturize your hair after a perm, so it is recommended to use moisturizing and repairing treatments.
Up to 6 months in a sealed bottle.
No, not at this time.
Not recommended, but it is always up to the hairdresser to analyse the hair structure and condition.
Soft Perm is ammonia free.
Soft Perm is the gentlest because it's ammonia free, it also contains Sodium PCA, a humectant which helps to maintain moisture in the hair.
Soft Perm curl formula is sold in 6-pack and Classic Perm curl formula is sold in 12-pack.
No, it is not recommended
Express Rinse consists of Magnesium Sulphate and Magnesium Chloride that lower the pH of the solution, thereby slowing down the chemical reaction of the perm solution by reducing the activity of the reducing agents.
Cysteamine is a milder active ingredient and is gentler on the hair.
2 – 6 months, a tighter perm with smaller rods lasts longer than a softer perm with bigger curls.
Yes, you can use 2 different curl formulas from the same system. But we don´t recommend mixing Soft and Classic perm in the same session.
Ready to use!
Yes, you can, but we recommend using all products in the system for the best result.
If left on too long, more sulphur compounds may be released, which will intensify the unpleasant odour. Additionally, overprocessing can damage the hair cuticle, trapping up the smell for a longer period.
