![]() Paraben- and sulfate surfactant-free, the two notable and significant differences with Jarman’s formula is that it takes almost half the time - in and out of the chair in about two hours for my long hair- and the smell is drastically less offensive than the standard perm. ![]() Over seven years in the making, this is the first ever Protein Perm which utilizes a Pisum-Protex technology that shapes the hair from the inside out. ![]() While both perms produced the bouncy, loose waves I desired, the process and formula used quite differs. I loved the results so much that once the waves grew out, I tried a new perm called Curl Cult, a proprietary new perm created by celebrity hairstylist and owner of LA-based Hairroin Salon Janine Jarman. To achieve my ideal “natural” looking, soft tousled curls, I went with the American Wave at the Brooklyn location of Nick Arrojo’s salon ARROJO NYC. But to my surprise, and relief, I discovered that perms have come a long way since the days of my poodle-like mane. I know - I had this done multiple times, starting from the tender age of six. I know at first sound of the word “perm” conjures up images of tightly coiled ringlets from the ‘80s, aka the spiral perm, and countless hours sitting at the salon with funky smelling formula seeping into one’s hair. Yet, not knowing anyone who’s actually gotten it done made me too nervous to go through the long process required of perms (or so I thought), and possibly again if I was unhappy with the results.īut, after almost two decades of wondering what my hair would look like wavy and loosely textured without the need for salt from an ocean plunge or hot tools and styling products, I finally took the plunge and got the perm. I take screenshots of inspiration, look at before and after pictures at hair salons, and consult with beauty editors. For the past decade or so, as summer approaches and I start to envision what the season will look like - where to go on vacation, what to wear, and how to manage my hair in the heat - I always consider whether or not to get a beach wave perm.
