By now it’s no secret that the perm is back and textured curls are taking the world by storm. We’re loving all the curly creations we’re seeing with our gentle, ammonia-free Think Curl perm.
Enriched with plant amino acids, Think Curl nourishes and protects hair throughout the perming process.
And, unlike most perms, is free from ammonium thioglycolate, ammonia, SLS and SLES, which are know to irritate the skin, nasal passages and weaken the hair.
Organic Colour Systems adopts a gentler approach to permanently curling hair than traditional perms. Think Curl uses cysteamine hydrochloride, which has the unique benefit of mimicking the cysteine amino acid, to help reform and strengthen bonds within the hair.
This month we fell in love with this textured perm by Tina, and she was kind enough to share all the details with us.
Textured Curls by Tina @ le Noble Studios, NYC
Tina says: I always make sure that the shape is appropriate to hold and maintain the curl and wave pattern that I want to install. I always tell my clients: it’s not about losing length, it’s about a healthy interior shape that is necessary for texture to hold itself. After the cut, I then lay out a roadmap for the new texture that I’m going to create. Since this is a few body waves deep, I needed to make sure that the middle and ends didn’t over process as the roots do so I made sure that as I was wrapping, I kept those parts of the hair a little bit more saturated with water as well as with Power Build Revamp.
After all that, we did a deep conditioning and I styled her hair. During the diffusion stage, I always make sure to go over the at home maintenance and care so my clients feel prepared to go home with their new texture. A lot of the responsibility for the outcome and longevity does fall on the client for how they do maintain and take care of their hair after they leave the salon.
I have been doing perms for almost a decade and I’ve used so many formulas. Think Curl is one of the best solutions I’ve ever used. It’s straightforward, but there is so much customization within the formula. The formula is gentle and effective for even compromised hair when used correctly.
