Go on, post one. You know you want to ;\)

 

Remember:

 

Does Your Hair Have Permability?

Is your hair really a good candidate for a perm? It is always best to work with a stylist in order to get their evaluation of your hair's porosity and viability for any chemical process, including a perm.

 

If you are unsure whether your hair will do well with a perm solution, you can do an at-home evaluation.

 

Check your own hair for permability by snipping a strand or two of your hair from a place on your scalp that is not obvious. Place the strands in a glass of fresh water. If your hair floats there is a good chance that your hair can survive a chemical treatment. Floating hair means that the cuticle and cortex layers are healthy.

 

If your hair sinks, the cuticle and cortex may be damaged and could not withstand a chemical treatment. If the hair is too porous a perm won't take and color won't stay on the cuticle.
