VIDEO OF THE WEEK

This is a super informative video about how to style your perm. Products covered in this video include Tresemme Mousse and Sebastian Professional Sculpting Creme. Enjoy!

STYLING REALLY COULDN'T BE EASIER

Despite the fact that I can't understand what the stylist in this video is saying, I can appreciate the ease with which he styles his model's hair. This is just to demonstrate how little truly goes into styling digitally permed hair. Blow-dry, twirl, enjoy.

HELPFUL DIGITAL PERM VIDEO FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS

I'm happy to present you with these incredibly helpful videos documenting Shopaholicness's digital perm experience. She was nice enough to discuss her experience in depth - outlining everything from why she did it to how much it cost and even providing us with photographs of how her perm changed over the course of the week after she got it done. As you may be aware, your digital perm will be very tight and curly at first, but within a few days will relax into the signature wave. I highly recommend you watch this if you're considering getting your hair digitally permed. Overall, she reports being very satisfied with the process. The only two draw backs she discusses are 1. the smell after getting the perm (which goes away eventually), and 2. that there was some damage and occasional frizz. Watch the videos and make your own conclusion.

SALON OF HORRORS

After watching this video I'm not sure how I feel. A little horrified, a little charmed by the Nana wearing her jail-cell-milk-maid dress and giant rollers, a little in love with the 90's heart-throb posters hanging all over the wall...and the, somehow appropriate, fishnet stockings. Just to be safe ladies, try to avoid any salon offering perms that looks like the one in this video. Still, I found it amusing enough to share :)

PERM DISASTER VIDEO

I've been watching a lot of bad perm videos on YouTube lately. I have some sort of morbid fascination with the bad hair decisions people make. The following video gets my worst perm of the year vote. Seriously. What. Were. You. Thinking!?!?!? The most hilarious part is that the salon staff seem so proud of themselves! The poor client in this video looks like she's barely holding herself together in the end. Yikes! Avoid traditional perms as much as you can PLEASE! And if you're going to go traditional, make absolutely sure your stylist has seen a hair training class within the last five years, and uses large barrel curlers.
