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.

Although I cannot say with complete certainty I can say after having my hair straightened with f450 products 2x that it doesn't have the horrible smell like keratin does which is caused by famaldehyde. It is a completely heat based product. I use this in addition to the shampoo and conditioner. The treatment itself sells on amazon and eBay for under $100 but very time consuming. Have to wash hair, blow, put in treatment, straighten and then wash it out and blow and straighten again. Over 2 hrs but I have very thick Brillo course hair and this stuff lasted me over 5 months. I advise using the whole product not just the hot iron part.

I have tried a thicker clear aloe vera gel with my RF facial machine. It seemed to work, but I didn't get the results I was used to with medical ultrasound gel. Also, aloe vera gel absorbs into your skin and dries faster so it's kind of a pain. I wouldn't bother. Maybe you could mix a little of this stuff into your regular gel. I think I'll try that, and get back to you.

The first three times I used it it was perfect. Now, not so much . I'm due again and I plan to open a NEW bottle of the perm solution, the first part. I know what you mean but I'm not sure if it actually loses potency.

Can't speak for the initial time, as I do not remember. However, last summer I used it religiously about every 2 days for about a month straight and after that, remained about 80% hairless for about 1.5 months in South America. After that I think it very slowly grew back. Now, about 9 months later, I haven't used it since and I'm back to "normal." I am very light-skinned with very dark hair. And fairly hairy haha.

It burned the *expletive deleted* out of my face after about a minute. I left it in probably for about 3 minutes before I used baking soda to neutralize it. I would say do a test on your neck or something first because it was not my first peel I knew what to expect. What I do now is I only put it on areas that are uneven in tone or that have pimples and leave it for the full time (about 8-10 min) or as long as I can stand it LOL and then neutralize it. Follow up with a moisturizer for your skin type (I use pure argan oil from Morocco) and you're good to go! It is a pretty decent peel even if it burns a bit and it doesn't quite PEEL peel but you'll notice your skins clarity improves. Hope this helped!

Sorry I can't really give you much of a time estimate but I can say I have not been disappointed. I don't use mine all the time. I go in spurts. I'll use it daily for a few weeks then not at all for months but so far I have not finshed one cartridge yet. Some advice though, try to turn it off while you brush and style your hair then back on as needed. It doesn't take long at all to heat up and saves the cell.

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.

It's perfect! I've been using it for 2 months i believe. I use it for the whoooole area. The first time, not gonna lie, will be a rather painful, but 100% worth it!. After that the hairs grow back here and there, alot thinner, and i hardly even feel it anymore. Now i'm always smooth and ready to go. ; )Recommendation, soak in a nice warm bubble bath first, and then use lotion right after. Also the redness/irritation from having your hair yanked out by its roots usually only lasts around 24 hours. After a few uses that also gets less noticable. Nothing nearly as bad as the horrible irritation i get from constantly shaving the area.Definitely buy this, i absolutely love it. Best one i've ever used! It's perfect!

I'm an esthetician and have noticed a smell with every high frequency machine I've ever used. The smell, I believe, is normal for this procedure and nothing to worry about from my perspective.

I just spoke with the Westinghouse customer service (E-mail: customerservice@saihomeproducts.com Telephone: 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'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..

no, I don't think so. I have used it in the past and has always been a good perm.

I really like the perm. I think with that extra long hair you should have three bottles. My hair is medium length and one bottle was about right for me. But you want to be sure you get all of your hair saturated. Be sure you have plenty of perm wave rods and take very small sections for each curler so that all of the hair is thoroughly wet it by the solution. I know you will love your new permanent

Hello JJI. I have been meaning to respond to your post and used my braun 9595 for the 2nd time only today. I'm a doctor and appreciate your concern which is genuine and as you explain, far from ideal to end up with hairs in your trachy site. Unfortunately, I think you're safer staying away from this shaver for your particular concern since there was a considerable amount of small hairs that fell during my shave today. I could clearly see those hairs in the sink and since they fall out dry, they are more difficult to extract and clean. I don't know if you currently shave with 'wet' razors, but I would imagine that is the safest and cleanest way to shave around the area. Dry hairs tend to be problematic to remove and most likely to elicit the undesired inflammatory reactions although less likely obstruct the area due to their minute size. This shaver does not have a vacuum system and I don't know how it compares to others since this is my first electric shaver. Also, I can't even comment on the quality of shave at this very early stage yet but I'll leave a review in due course. I hope this is useful but please accept this at face value as my opinion only from what I've experienced personally so far. Its worth mentioning that my stubble is slightly thicker than your average stubble. All the best.

Hahah! To be honest I haven't used it since my 3rd attempt of trying to create normal waves. My hair texture is a strange one. With that to be said, I tried it on my friends hair and I've discovered that it works better when you blow dry you hair first. But, no body got time for that. So, i just have mine under my counter.

It worked perfectly for me. http://www.amazon.com/review/R3IY5N6ZLPZPSJ/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000GAS2X6&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=
