A Cold Wave Perm is a chemical hair treatment used to create curls or waves. Unlike traditional perms that require heat, this method uses a chemical solution at room temperature to break and reform the bonds in your hair. The process involves wrapping hair around rods, applying the perm solution, and then using a neutralizer to lock in the curls.
This technique is ideal for creating soft, natural-looking waves or more defined curls, depending on the size of the rods used.
Benefits of a Cold Wave Perm

Suitable for All Hair Types
The Cold Wave Perm works well on most hair types, including straight, wavy, and even slightly coarse hair, making it a versatile choice for many. -
No Heat Damage
