Secondly, it creates a slight variation in the curl, with looser curls towards the outer section, resulting Firstly, itĪllows the rod to fit snugly against the scalp when hair is wrapped around it, at least to some extent. Concave rods gradually taper towards the center and widen at the ends. It's important to note that perm rods are available in both "concave" and "straight" versions. The key is to understand the basic color coding, as some rods may not appear visibly different in size. They come in various sizes that are color-coded, although different manufacturers may use shades of the same color that differ from equivalent-sized rods Perm rods are designed according to a universal standard. The shorter the hair is, the smaller the range of rod diameters that we would be likely to use would be. With shorter lengths, using large rods can give large, soft curls and add wave instead of curl. If she wanted less curl and just "body" we’d probably use a purple rod to create the largest and softest wave pattern. We’d probably use a gray or white perm rod to wrap the hair. Depending on how tight a curl was desired, Her hair is an average of 5 inches long in its shortest areas. Say we have a client who has neck-length, layered hair and she wants a lot of volume and curl in the hair. ![]() To achieve a natural-looking wave that complements the hair's texture and length, we typically use larger rods on longer hair. Longer hair requires more wraps around a rod of a particular size. The principle is simple: the more times the hair is wrapped around the perm rod, the more bends are formed. 'The curls are normally tighter and last longer due to the thinner perm rods. The rods used for spiral perms are usually on the smaller side and applied vertically rather than horizontally. Most people don't understand what these terms mean and how specific perm rods contribute to creating theseĮffects. 'Depending on the density of the hair, spiral perms with their spiral-shaped curls are going to give medium-maximum volume,' Dunning explains. We've all come across terms like "Body Wave," "Body Perm," and "Curly Perm," but they often cause confusion. Additionally, the hair's length affects the amount of curl achieved through a perm. Smaller rods create smaller and tighter curls. They can also be employed to adjust or normalize the natural wave pattern of hair that is too curly according to the client's preferences.We're aware that different-sized rods produce varying curl sizes in permed hair. On standard perm rods, blown out with a hairdryer and a round brush for soft waves, or may be set in any other of a myriad of ways.īody waves are primarily used for hair that is limp or lacks volume to enhance texture and body (as the name implies). Instead, the purpose may be to create added texture in the hair to allow the hair to be more easily curled. The hair, or it could entail cutting the hair to optimize the curl by evenly distributing its weight.įor body waves, the hair may not be styled to utilize the curl created by the perm. This may involve blow-drying using a diffuser and scrunching In perms designed to create curls, the hair is typically styled after the perm to enhance volume and emphasize the curls.

Most salons use them exclusively for body waves unless the client has really long hair and wants lots of curl. Purple: Purple perm rods are often referred to as "body wave rods" because they create large curls. Shorter hair lengths, the curls will appear looser and can even provide some body. They are ideal for hair lengths ranging from 4-1/2 to 6-1/2 inches and produce tight curls in this range. White: White rods are generally the largest rods used for a "curly perm" style. ![]() They can also be used on shorter hair lengths to achieve looser curls or waves. They work well for creating tight curls in hair that is 3 to 5 inches long. Gray: Gray perm rods are considered the standard thickness and are versatile. ![]() They can be used on shorter lengths for looser curlsĪnd waves, or on the 2 to 3-1/2 inch range for a loose curl. Pink: Pink perm rods are the next size up and are suitable for creating tight curls in hair that measures approximately 3 to 4 inches in length. They can also be used on hair lengths ranging from 2 to 3-1/2 inches to achieve a tight, curly style. Blue: Blue rods are larger than red rods and can be used on very short hair lengths to create larger curls. ![]()
