Hello everyone! People help, tell me this perm wave, how long smells after the procedure? I did the last time bio permanent three months ago, but stil

It only smelled for a few days and that was very mild. I was very pleased with the perm.

It was a matter of a couple of times shampooing before the mild smell was completely gone.

It has very little smell. There is a vial of solution to put on your hair before the wave solution. This cuts way down on the smell. I don't smell anything the next day

My hairdresser did a light shampoo and conditioner after application and rinsing of perm because my hair is color treated (weeks before perm). Then I waited 48 hours before shampooing again. I have not had any problems with smell and I am overly sensitive to offensive odors. Perhaps you permed too soon after color treating your hair? Or, your hair is thin and less time is needed to be in rods. Why are you perming so soon (3 months) after last perm? My hair grows fast and is thick but still have lots of body and perm left and it has been at least 6 months or longer since I permed. Hope this helps.

I just spoke with the Westinghouse customer service (E-mail: customerservice@saihomeproducts.comTelephone: 1-866-365-5339). I described this smell as rather a motor oil-like (this is what it reminds me). They say it's normal for the first cycles :-) It's a glue that holds the parts together and it gets burned initially. The explanation makes sense to me, so I will give it a try. No plans to drink this water, though, until the smell (and the taste) goes away. The idea was to drink pure water, not diluted glue :-)

I did not notice any particular strong odor. As soon as you are able to wash your hair after the perm, that should take away any lingering odor. I did not have any problem with lasting odor. Good luck.

I don't have a perm (Although I highly doubt this will loosen your perm), but I do have very fine and oily hair (must be washed every day) and I do not have a problem with this adding any grease to it. I don't condition my scalp though, just pretty much the back of neck down. It is amazing and makes my hair silky soft! You can't beat the price, you should give it a try!

According to one review below it will clear. See http://www.amazon.com/review/R3OANC4T8MHVMF/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000A2LX5O&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=

I've done highlights (30 vol)fully lightened, colored ( semi-perm and perm)lightened again (40 vol) multiple times.. and hair is still in tact. It's cut short now, but ive given it quite a beating for months while i was in school, and i can honestly tell you i am not disappointed..

If you stop using it completely it will grow back, at least with me it did. It also only greatly slowed the growth process and I noticed a few hairs got thinner. I like how fast it works but can't stand the smell so there's something else to consider.

I'm in my mid 50s; I got pretty good results, but please read the precautions. I didn't have any problems but it certainly gave me 'hot' gas.I have also tried the Toji Hair Vitamins (strengthens the hair strands and you will definitely be able to tell a difference in about a month, used it for 6 months as recommended but it is rather costly) and currently taking Escali 5,000 mcg Biotin, Silica & L-Cysteine; getting good results and great results in the condition of my nails too. All of these have helped with the thinning (losing the strand from the root) and the breakage.

i had the obagi blue peel about 5 years ago. i did it thru my plastic surgeon's office. they had me do a month of prep stuff. funny cuz my face was wonderful from the prep stuff. (retin a, and a skin lightener ect.) i did the whole thing!... i wish i had just done the prep stuff. here is my blue peel experience. took 2 valium before hand which made it very tolerable. the 25% at home peel was super duper painful and you dont want to be inpaired by valium when doing it yourself..anywho, back to the obagi...so it is done...3-4 days lots of brown skin, and starting to peel blah blah blah. you look ugly as heck for about 3 weeks. they say 7-10 days...not true for me. close to a month. and when i say you look bad, you look awful! people are scared to even ask what happened after they see and stare at you! everyone in my personal life was convinced they did it wrong and had "overcooked me"....the results were ? so-so. not worth the month of ugly, no visible difference. like i said i liked the prep stuff, but would not abagi again...ohhh, i forgot, i did the obagi in the winter!...BAD IDEA! my face was on fire 24/7 and the cold weather made it sting and itch beyond belief! to be honest. i dont know if i can do the 25% at home peel. the pain is unbearable, and i saw nothing. i only did 2 but the down time is at least 7+ days...not worth it! if i were to do a peel again. i would wait till i had a facial procedure, like a lift, and then have them do a really strong one while i was under anesthesia....also i would plan ahead for a month of hibernating at home!

I looked and looked on box and could not tell if it was a authentic Iso. I swear by Iso perms and have always had great luck with them. Since I let my cosmo. license expire, I ordered one on line. It came out terrible. I was not sure if I left it on too long or if my hair is that damaged. I wondered myself if these were not the real deal. Like I said, even damaged hair, I always got a good perm with Iso, so I don't know. Sorry, I'm not much help.

I don't know time wise how long it takes, but I just started my second bottle. I am still getting a little growth, but nothing like it was originally. My hair is stubby as I have shaved for quite some time so I figure it will take me longer than if my hair was not so stubby. I am hoping it is going to be permanent - it is certainly thinner than it was.

This perm is better than Just For Me. A whole lot better. It is sensitive to scalp just like noted on box. I scratched my scalp right before putting perm in during my first use and it did not burn. I would highly recommend over any other.

Hello, this is a good question. I bought it to use my wife, I know she finished using it, use shrink pores effect of the essence, or use some shrink pores effect of toner, or mask. She only used twice a week. I sincerely hope my answers help you.

Was your face washed clean prior to use? Sometimes I leave on a bit (2 min) longer but when it starts to tingle ... Rinse. Also... Shake prior to use!

I don't remember however it was more along the lines of a harsh chemical process like a perm, but worse. It destroyed my hair!!

50 ml is the only size I have see the product come in. I have been using this line for over 7 years. It is fantastic!! I so recommend that you use their face wash and biox moisturizer as well to get the full affect. All you need is half a dime's worth of the serum to cover your face and some neck area. It should last you 4-6 months. Money well spent. This product is soooo expensive in the mall. Better to buy in Amazon. Only use the serum on a freshly washed face. It won't absorb as well otherwise. Massage into face in an upward and outward motion. I usually use it at night before bed. In the morning I use their cell renewal serum. Anything you buy from this line is fantastic. I highly recommend their lines of masks. I started off using the entire biox line and have expanded into other products they offer. Nothing on the market is this good.
