perming lotion - no rollers??

[joko]

what would happen if you put perming lotion just onto your hair without rollers and brushed it straight? or perhaps hung your head upside down?

i have had a perm in the past and found i could straighten it and it was much thicker and fuller.

is this because of the curl or does the lotion itself have a thickening effect?

my hair has a slight natural curl at the ends so obviously this would disappear, but would i get body at the top?

any thoughts?

cheers

this has bugged me as after many years in the 70s and 80s of curly perms i really cannot think what would happen, i think if u hung your head upside down you would really have a bride of frankenstein hairstyle, but iof you let it stay straight and brish it dry, i bet u would have just a thicker starightish look

It works fine. I do it late in the evening, then all you need to do is cover your pillow with a carrier bag and see the effects in the morning. Too many people read the packet without thinking originally.

I read in the paaper earlier this week that a company (Boots???) is producing a permanent straightening lotion for hair

he he guys

ali, i want the volume more than the straightness really, just wondered if this stuff had a thickening effect. i would think the straightening solution is largely the same stuff, isn't it?

only difference form the instructions is that there would be no rollers...everything else would be done the same.

i thought the upside down thing would be like a root lift too


if i decide to try it, i'll let you know...

any one know any good wig suppliers? just in case...

that is basically the same as getting a relaxer although alot nicer to your hair it would work but you would have to make sure you but a neutalizer on after.
