Why do Asians have such a high failure rate with perms?

If you have any of the following experiences 👇

  • I chose "natural curls", but it looks like I didn't iron it.
  • It's fine right after ironing, but when I get home and wash it, it's gone.
  • The curl is either too loose or it's not cutting at all.
  • It worked well in Asia, but flopped in the US.

Let me tell you the truth:

Asian perm failure, really not you choose the wrong curls.

And it's not like your hair isn't suitable for perming.

Failed perm. It's really not the curl.

This is the most common misunderstanding.

Many people think that there are only two kinds of perm failures 👇

  • Too curly → not obvious
  • Roll too small → very old

But in reality, the real key to failure is 👇.
👉 The curl is not "fixed in the right place".

What you see is just appearance.
But what really makes or breaks a perm is--
Has the structure been rearranged.

The roll is not the point.
It is the question of "whether the roll will hold up or not".

The structure of Asian hair is different from the reaction of the potion.

Asian hair has a few realistic characteristics 👇

  • Straight, coarse hair
  • Tight structure and high elasticity
  • It's not easy to change, but when it is, it's extreme.

What does that mean?

Representation if 👇

  • The potion was a mistake.
  • Can't catch a break.
  • Uneven softening

It's not that I didn't burn it.
It's just straight over the top.

Asian hair isn't hard to perm.
是The tolerance rate is very low.。

Why is it so hard to replicate "Korean Hot" in the US?

I have to be honest on this issue.

Not because American designers can't iron.
ratherThe whole thing is different.。

The results of those perms you see in Korea and Taiwan, there are actually 👇 behind them!

  • Familiar with the logic of cutting Asian hair
  • Experience value for very precise response to potions
  • Complete blowing and finishing, maintenance teaching

But in the U.S., much of the situation is 👇

  • It's a generic potion.
  • Assuming Asian hair = normal straight hair
  • Release them when they're done.

The result is certainly much worse.

You're not hot.
是The whole system is different.。

The key that designers most often overlook is not technology.

I will tell you this paragraph, and I will also tell my peers.

The most overlooked aspect of an Asian perm is 👇
👉 Head and Weight Configurations

A lot of failed perms that look like 👇

  • Curly, but with a collapsed head.
  • The top is unsupported, the bottom is all rolled up.
  • Structural imbalance

It's not the potion.
是The cut, weight, and ironing are not aligned.

Curl if there are no support points.
It's not long before it's beautiful.

Things You Must Know Before Getting an Asian Perm

If you're considering a perm, these are really important 👇!

First, ironing is not for "having a roll", it's for good organization.
If you just want change, the success rate is rather minimal.

Second, you need to know whether you want "lines" or "supports".
These two methods of ironing are completely different.

Thirdly, not every designer really understands Asian hot stamping.
It's not a label, it's a difference in experience.

You know all this.
The failure rate will be cut directly in half.

Why do some people get a long lasting perm and others don't?

Lastly, I would like to talk about what we are most concerned about.

Ironing maintains much less well, and it's usually not because of 👇.
"you don't know how to organize."

Instead, it's 👇.

  • The roll was never secured.
  • Once the structure is washed, it goes back to its original form.
  • The finishing method after ironing does not match the ironing method.

A truly successful perm is 👇
It'll stand up even after washing.
There's a direction to blowing randomly.
You don't have to spend your life organizing every day.

If you've been battling your hair every day since you got your perm.
That's not your problem.

Asians have a high failure rate for perms.
It's never because the hair is not suitable for perming.

It's because--
Perms are too often simplified as "choosing curls".

When you think of a perm as "structural design,"
The success rate comes naturally.
