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

I have never experienced any smell after I wash my hair, so about 3 days after the perm. I know that you need to follow the instructions carefully, including the full neutralization step and a thorough rinse after you take the curlers out. I rinse for a full 2-3 minutes with running water at the very end.

If you are having any lasting odor from the perm you need to rinse your hair with vinegar and water mixed together or go to a salon and they have a rinse to take away the odor

I wouldn't do it more than once every 6 - 8 weeks, and you could easily get 3 applications out of it. You should only use asmall amount of product. The fumes are pretty harsh, and you have to have a good flat iron. I would highly recommend doing it outside and have sobering help you. I wore goggles and a mask and had a fan blowing the fumes away from me, like they did in the salon.

The smell is not bad. I used a water based top coat that I bought locally. FYI I still love the results!

Yes, it smells and feels like the other I purchased at the Salon. Which I like. It is sealed on the top with a secured type of seal that you just peel off. In regard to the expiration date, I don't see one on the exterior of the bottle and even with the previous one I purchased at the Salon it does not have an expiration date. The one I purchased at the Salon lasted me for a few years and it still did the job I expected it to...keeps my hair soft, manageable, not frizzy, and straight when I blow dry my hair while using a rolling brush and even when I don't blow dry my hair and just air dry it while have applied the Biosilk on my hair when it is damp, the results are still great! My hair is long, has a slight wave to it, I have a lot of hair but it's thin so it can get frizzy and tangles with certain weather. I haven't used anything else better than this that compared to the results I have received. I have been using Biosilk Silk Therapy for many years now. By the way, it lasted for many years for me because I only used a small amount that I rubbed on my palms first then applied on my hair - not scalp or it can become oily. That is the suggested required amount - just a small amount is really needed to give you the best results. And if you like you can also use it as a lotion on the dry areas of your skin (elbows, knees, hands, etc.) it works great and your skin smells great too!

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'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 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!

This perm does not use a hair dryer. The solution stays on the hair at room temp for up to 18 minutes, if I remember correctly. I don't know whether it is an alkaline perm, but I have used this for years with great results. I have fine, thin, hard to wave hair.

Odor isn't that bad The key is to rinse rinse and rinse after the perm and after the neutralizer. When you think you have rinsed enough,rinse again.

So sorry. I haven't a clue. But I was very pleased with the permasoft (and still am). Apparently a lot of folks are offput by the "chemical" taste. Yes, it's there--for about 10 minutes. After that it does not linger at all.

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!

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

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 :-)

If it is outdated it is the best perm I've ever had. I have very fine and thin hair and it works great. My hair dresser has been using it on my hair for two years. Great perm. Bertie

I want to thank you for posting this review. I am in a simular situation as yourself. I have vowed to stop using relaxers due to thinning in the crown of my head. I have thick corse hair and stopped perming it around December of 2007 and have only had it washed and flat ironed since then. I have been fearing that the flat iron would not work after a while. But after reading your post my mind is at ease. Thanks for the conditioning tips also. :)

This perm has a mild fragrance and not like that at all. I am very pleased with it and plan to use it again.

It should be anything after 10 day as long as the hair is not over processed from the perm also think the hair is porous it may take the color darker.
